[TJ] 2007.07.11 - OSCA (CD) [Single]

[Tsuchiya]

I'm not overly impressed by the melody (it's a little too '60s-sounding for my liking); the musicianship and little flourishes are what make the song. Uki especially shines with all that hyper plucking. I will say that I'm not crazy about the bass tone though. I like the jazzier tone on Adult.

Anybody else hoping there's some fretless on the album?

After hearing bam's sliced-up version of OSCA, I think:

OSCA = ping pong ball.

(just an observation, doesn't mean the song is bad or good or anything.)

Hearing the song without seeing the [golem]retarded video[/golem] certainly makes it sound a lot better.

OSCA

鳥渡　其処のMr.　接吻は意外に硬派
鳥渡　其処のSr.　『接吻は直ぐに』と示唆
「あんた鳥渡ツレない、ツレないねえ、お嬢さん」
明日からも夜通しで... どうして止め様か？
If you know how...
思えば　もう　洞察

唯一のMs.は実は腹の下
普段のDSは実は日常に在って
底無しで癒えない　癒えないねbroker
門限なしのhungry day hungry day サボろうか
But, you know how.
想い　妄想　暴発

嗚呼　疑わしい無罪　そのdevice
嗚呼　一皮向ける合図　
御呼びで無い

真っ赤っ赤なOSCA　ALFA　手懐け走破
真っ黄っ黄な眼力...harder!　それは地上を這う
哀愁照りつけるoh freeday oh freeday 急かすんだ
門限ダッシュ　もう摂理で　摂理で動くんだ
Don't you know? how...
迷子の造作

嗚呼　疑わしい無罪　そのdevice
嗚呼　一皮向ける合図　
御呼びで無い
I've got a Sr. ... OSCA!
No...! 異種なる交配　血の気配

where did you dig these up? I had no idea there was kanji for "chotto"

I'm pretty surprised there is already kanji floating around for this, unless this was taken from the Petrols release. The lyrics aren't really what I would expect, but it did come from Uki and not Ringo. They lack a certain depthness that you usually find in her work. It also seems to me to have a certain male aspect to it.....I like the attitude though. Because of the very unique voice I think it would be tricky to translate right, a direct translation would probably look really sketchy too. I did a brief mental sketch but seeing as most everyone here depends on Frecklegirl, I've leave that to her, XD, when the official lyrics surface maybe I will try and my own and we can cross check.

edit:

those lyrics are pretty much EXACT to what she sings in the PV, so wherever you got them from did a great job, although I would change some of the kanji

鳥渡 to ちょっと
嗚呼 to Ahhhh
接吻 to キス

she actually doesn't sing seppun 接吻, she sings "kiss" during the song. I'm guessing above this really old kanji will be furigana for the words like "kiss" although I still am shocked to see kanji for chotto and "aaahhhh" (the kanji compound is a combination of the characters for to cry/ring and to call, I guess "ahhhhhh" makes sense then). The kanji for chotto is beyond me, hahaha, bird and to cross? Maybe since chotto means a little, it refers to when the birds cross, as in a little passing of time? I have no idea.....Edo kanji, yup.

Thanks!! It was really GREAT!! I visited a lot of places and I saw a lot of bears . I'm happy to be here again, though.

[justriiingo]

nah baboo is from Singapore.

(Ohhh where the fuck is Singapore?)

It's in South-East Asia, 1 deg north of the equator. 7 hours from Tokyo, 16 hours from San Francisco and 14 hours from London (I think) by flight.
