IMMA JUSTA JAPANESE GIRL!!


LYRICS in English;
Do you somethimes think about what you’re worth?
How do you want things to turn out? What do you want to be?
“You’re pretty normal, aren’t you? Nothing special”
I’m so apathetic, I’ll wake my weak self up
I’ve decided you use my clumsiness complex
As a springboard to grow stronger!
“You can’t!” “It’s impossible!” That just gives me power!
Thank my inferiority complex

Are you Japanese? (Yes!) Hold your head higher
(When it's good, you're cool! Cool!
When it's not, you're cool! Cool!)
No matter how I am, I’ll make myself look cute
Your love life style
I am just Japanese girl...

Too much searching for happiness has made me anxious
All anyone talks about is winners and losers
“The battle’s just beginning!” you say, full of spirit
But you’re wrong, it’s not a battle
The image I have of trying to be happy
Has more positives than negatives
We can change our destiny
There’s got to be more to it than the psychics let on!!

Are you Japanese? (Yes!) Make your heart tough
(When it's good, you're cool! Cool!
When it's not, you're cool! Cool!)
No matter how I am, I’ll make myself pretty
That’s my love life style
I am just Japanese girl...

I can’t live well
Under the boring rules I followed yesterday
I’m not gonna hang on

Are you Japanese? (Yes!) Hold your head higher
(When it's good, you're cool! Cool!
When it's not, you're cool! Cool!)
No matter how I am, I’ll make myself look cute
Your love life style
I am just Japanese girl...

Are you Japanese? (Yes!) Make your heart tough
(When it's good, you're cool! Cool!
When it's not, you're cool! Cool!)
Are you Japanese? (Yes!) Hold your head higher
(When it's good, you're cool! Cool!
When it's not, you're cool! Cool!)
Are you Japanese? (Yes!) Well, hold out your hands!
(When it's good, you're cool! Cool!
When it's not, you're cool! Cool!)
Are you Japanese? (Yes!) Your love life style
(When it's good, you're cool! Cool!
When it's not, you're cool! Cool!)

Sun Mar 8, 2015, 05:30 AM
Mar 2015

I am also a huge fan of Aiko Kayo. I just wish she hadn't quit the music biz...



I want to meet you, but I can't
No matter how much I put my thoughts into it, this prayer couldn't reach you
Because there was something that I've lost sight of

Before this, I have always believed in
A sole reality of what was only in front of my eyes, but


It's not such a singular world - it's a world that you can say "what if"
Now that I know of the infinite possibilities, I am currently lost inside it

I want to meet you... but I can't
Until I can tell you my feelings, I'll never forgive myself
I won't give in, I won't back down
Even if I have to put my body on the line
I'll find you
Because even if the darkness stands in my way
And besets my weak heart
I won't give up, and will keep on searching for you

Yes, when I finally find you, that would also mean I've found myself
Even now, I haven't forgotten about that promise we made

"We shall meet again, many times over" this had helped me all thie time
Everything becomes my courage, I am not alone

I want to meet you... but I can't
If this is a challenge, I will surely overcome it
So without giving up, or losing hope
Please wait for me
Believe in me
I want to meet you... but I can't
No matter how much I put my thoughts into it, this prayer couldn't reach you
Because there was something that I've lost sight of

I want to meet you... but I can't
Where are you now? For sure I will find you
I was completely lost in the labyrinth that's inside my eyes
Because even if the darkness stands in my way
And besets my weak heart
I won't give up, and will keep on searching for you

influences artists like Nicki Minaj & Gwen Stefani & Katy Perry. Like the wash of synthesizers. Also this song and another one you posted a while back has a burst of electric guitar late in the song. That's pretty rad.

with 'Guest Guitarist' credit for Guitar Wolf. You posted some of his videos a while back. In this one he picks up on surf music like The Ventures & Surf Punks.

I love seeing all the influences. Animation, sci-fi, tv cartoons. Then how it bounces among various countries & their own styles. Like Bay City Rollers (t ee nt tit ans - teen titans let's go!) & The Ramones.

for the local San Francisco Democratic Party... going door to door giving out pamphlets, which was how I got to meet Barbara Boxer a few years back.. I even met Governor Jerry Brown once and snagged his autograph... It was so funny, running up the hallway to ask him, his Security People like jumped in front of him..not sure what they were thinking, but the guy sure walks fast, and I had to keep up, and he was like, "How can I help you miss?" .,.me out of breath..."Auto...graph..please" and he was like sure!

He does seem like a spry guy. You're so lucky. When I still lived in Cali I only got to meet Villaraigosa. He was kinda boring.
I met Sarah Palin up here and Mark Begich. I liked Mark. He was the Landlord of my apartment a while back. He did repairs himself. He caught me smoking weed once.

Seems timely to mention today.

I marched with Rep.Lewis in a voter suppression protest in Columbus, Ohio in '04 while I was volunteering for Kerry there. I saved and still have the placard he signed. I only wish I'd carried a smaller sign than 3' x 4'.

I don't know how I got into it.. most of them are packed away, but right next to me is an autographed photo of Oakland Raider Line backer Jeff Barnes. He was incredibly kind to me and wrote something special on my photo. I have lots of sports related Autographs.. Wayne Gretzky, Joe Montana, Dwight Clark, Tim Salmon, Grant Fuhr, Markus Naslund, Kobe Bryant, and a ton more.

I also have some Hollywood actors as well. One time I met Olivia Newton John in San Francisco and ran up to ask for autograph and realized I didn't have a pen. I asked her and the people with her if they had a pen, they didn't. She goes, "Well, lets just shake hands, shall we?" I was so embarrassed, that I always carry a sharpie with me everywhere I go!

And "grenade." My brother did two tours in Okinawa with the Marines and he was pretty fond of those hot "grenades" of sake.

A girl I had dated beat me out and was selected to go to Japan. But it turned out that they didn't have enough home placements, and she didn't get to go. So she did it on her own during college.

I did study Spanish and learned a little Vietnamese from rooming with a Vietnamese officer in Army training and from serving in-country.

I was Medevac'd to an Army ICU in Japan, but only for a week, and all I remember is seeing the beautiful snow-covered mountains from the bus windows.

[font color=teal]I saw that.

It was an idiotic hide. I would not expect such closed mindedness on a discussion board like this one.

And I will add romaji just to be extra obnoxious.

BTW, this post is intended for all those DU'ers who want to use the easily available online translation tools OR those who speak Japanese.

but for sure could not stand the idea of any Asian language posted on DU. Spanish is okay, French is okay, Italian is okay, Greek is okay, Gaelic is okay, German is okay... BUT OMG, do not post anything in Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, with THOSE WEIRD looking letters!!!!

DU loves you too... judging by this thread, LOL

No, it's great that you volunteer. Used to do it when I was younger, wish I still could but don't have the energy for that anymore.... Sitting at the computer, that's another matter I guess.

I met Ted Kennedy once during the 1980 campaign... I should dig up the picture sometime, that was my biggest campaign effort ever, volunteering for him.

I was only expecting to put a couple or three posts on DU, never dreamed that I'd stick around so I just plunked in the first thing that popped into my head. There is an old saying among my people when your gas tank is near empty, "sucking on fumes", that's the play on words. I had just come back from a bike ride where about four buses and many more trucks had me feeling as if I was breathing in more diesel exhaust than actual air, that's the statement of fact.

And I'm good thank you so much, had a great day yesterday and I even took a few pictures myself.

I had always got great deals on beanie babies when I would go and give them to my gf for her birthday each year. What a glorious day there, so lovely! Where is that? SoCal? I used to go to the ones in Santa Barbara all the time, when I lived down there. They were out in Goleta actually by UC Santa Barbara. Not sure they have them here in San Francisco, as I have never seen them here.

came out pretty good. And, its fast uploading ne? I just woke up.. I think the Pizza we had didn't agree with me.. and I plan on going back to bed as soon as I post this, along with a huge helping of Pepmo Bismo. You didn't get sick? Iron Tummy, girl!!!

If you want info on the cellphone, let me know, I can tell you where I bought it and what the price was. I hardly use the cam, mostly the phone..and the apps. Let me know if you want that info, talk to you later, Sis.

Hugs.. Kimi

Yes they were fast, and No I only had one slice, unlike the other girls who wolfed those down like they were starving to death! O hayai kaifuku o negatte orimasu! Get better soon sis, and I hope you were not too sick, I can't do cheese as well as your friends can. It tends to do weird things to my tummy too.

I head you say how much that cellphone was and think I will wait till the price comes down. Maybe the place that sold it has a less expensive version.

I am okay with that. The Giants also have a great farm team. Had it not been for the farm team, the Giants would have never made it into the playoffs last year.

Giants really need a breakout pitcher right now, though.

Hopefully McGahee and Aoki are hits after losing Panda. Hard to replace a legend like him

I tell Dodgers fans that we don't buy legends, we make them. Irks them quite a bit.
