just a bunch of personal studies on "lyrics with more vibes"
YONA YONA DANCE
Beatin’ out the rhythm of the dance
We're become more bonded
Just be yourself and show me all of your feelings
Te wo narashite clap your hands*
Beatin’ out the syncopated rhythm
We're gonna dance nightly
Tonight I’m lazy, hazy and freewheelin’
I’d prove who I am
Then just join to the dance, join to the dance ya
Join to the dance, or it'd be your loss ya**
I want to dance with you
All I want is to dance with you
So just join to the dance, join to the dance ya
Join to the dance, or it'd be your loss ya
A life without any excitement?
I won't approve it!
With the shine of a disco ball
We're become more true to each other
Just let the light expose your emotions
I’ll take your hands, my love
The rhythm has changed to a classy one
Now our dance is the center of attention
Tonight tell me everything about yourself
You can't just be watching, you know?
So just join to the dance, join to the dance ya
Join to the dance, or it'd be your loss ya
I want to dance with you
All I want is to dance with you
So just join to the dance, join to the dance ya
Join to the dance, or it'd be your loss ya
A life without any excitement?
It's fine sometimes, actually!
Still I’ll go toward where my heart will take me
where nobody has reached yet
It makes me feel unstoppable
And the days have gone
When the sun has risen I repeat it from the beginning
Keep going 'til forever
Toward what makes my heart pound
So just join to the dance, join to the dance ya
Join to the dance, or it'd be your loss ya
I want to dance with you
All I want is to dance with you
So just join to the dance, join to the dance ya
Join to the dance, or it'd be your loss ya
A life without any excitement?
I won't approve it!
*"Te wo narashite" and "Clap your hands" meaning the same thing
**The phrase "Join to the dance, or it'd be your loss" is taken from the song used for the Awa dance: "Some oafs are dancing, some oafs are watching, it'd be better to dance when we're both oafs or you'd miss the fun"
KANPAI FUNK
We’d like to do a Kanpai?
We’d like to do a Kanpai?
We’d like to get some relief?
You're the one who rocks the up-tempo beat!*
Kanpai! (Kanpai!)
Even when your dreaming, don’t stop the radio
Charles and Franklin are singing**
A young lady in her late teens has been late for her curfew***
Stepping a step of the movement
Her lie turned into her turn in red high heels****
She’s got the style
(Twisting Twisting Twisting Everyone)
(Night and Night and Night Away)
People change with the times
While they have their own souls
We, we, we, we’d like to do a Kanpai?
A bigger party is better, right?
We’d like to do a Kanpai?
Before dusk to after dawn!
We’d like to get some relief?
Just be easy peasy, it's good!
You're the one who rocks the up-tempo beat!
Kanpai!
The second hand is ticking, don’t stop the video
AI-s are singing with emotion
Still I can't get the craze for retrospectives
Is “Dancin’ ’n’ Go Viral’” a new rudiment?
Present, past, future became a hodgepodge
A brand new day begins with a hangover*****
(Swiping Swiping Swiping Everybody)
(Rating Rating by the Way)
People become together with the times
With their own souls
We, we, we, we’d like to do a Kanpai?
A bigger party is better, right?
We’d like to do a Kanpai?
Before dusk to after dawn!
We’d like to get some relief?
Just be easy peasy, it's good!
You're the one who rocks the up-tempo beat!
(Everybody say! Ka Ka Ka Kanpai!)
Kanpai!
Kanpain’ before dusk!
(Kanpain’ before dusk!)
Keep Kanpain’ until dawn!
(Keep Kanpain’ until dawn!)
Kanpai!
(Kanpai!)
Kanpai!
(Kanpai!)
Kan
(Pai!)
Kan
(Pai!)
Kan
(Pai!)
We, we, we, we’d like to do a Kanpai?
A bigger party is better, right?
We’d like to do a Kanpai?
Before dusk to after dawn!
We’d like to get some relief?
Just be easy peasy, it's good!
You're the one who rocks the up-tempo beat!
We, we, we, we’d like to do a Kanpai?
A bigger party is better, right?
We’d like to do a Kanpai?
Before dusk to after dawn!
We’d like to get some relief?
Just be easy peasy, it's good!
You're the one who rocks the up-tempo beat!
*"You're the one who-" is a nod to Wada's hit song "You're the one who tolls the bell", you can listen to the remix by TeddyLoid here
**Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin
***For clarification, the legal age of adulthood in Japan has been lowered from twenty to eighteen
****The original line "真っ赤な嘘 はきこなす" is a mashup of two phases: "真っ赤な嘘をは(吐)く[tell a complete lie]" with "は(履)きこなす[slip into the shoes and rock a style]" and "真っ赤[bright ted]" means something unalloyed in the original context, and it also works as an implication of the color of the shoes, likely a pair of red high heels
*****ちゃんぽん(hodgepodge)means consuming multiple types of alcohol one after another in this context, and it's believed to give you a hangover
