eiheartx 1310 Posted December 19, 2014 I really don't get why these songwriters won't take an extra hour to find someone who is willing to properly translate their lyrics from 'Engrish' to proper English. Japan is home to not just the Japanese anymore, a ton of foreigners have taken residence in the country (most of them as translators, even) and would be more than willing to save a band from turning into a major joke. Not only songwriters, but the singers too. Their pronunciation is a pain in the ass, seriously. I do get that it's not easy when it's not your mother tongue (and I know that, trust me), but when you plan to sing in another language, just do what you have to do to nail it ffs ! idk, take lessons etc. If you're not ready to work that way, then stick in your native language where you're better. my 2 cents. First song in mind: AGONY from the GazettE. XD (and surely a lot from them too, they looove engrish nonsense from google trad lmao). 2 PsychoΔelica and doombox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheStoic 176 Posted January 5, 2015 I used to sing my ass off at Karaoke with friends in high school to this. It is funny because you can tell it is English - but the lyrics are all slightly off. In reality - it is not that bad of English, but my nostalgia is too strong to ignore it as one of my Engrish Favorites. Lyrics: No,I don't need some drugsJust I want myselfWe face with difficulty one last effortYes,anybody hurts lead too hard lifeBut we can share joysand sorrows with each otherWith the best will in the world,we can't be perfectBut it's early to give upWith the best willin the world,We can't be good loser'Cause we're dreamer,never say dieI don't neednsome drugs I want myselfStand in block our ways somethingWe lead too fuckin' hard lifeFight for myself Fight for yourselfFight for myself Fight for yourselfWhy don't you tell me friend?Make it know to meYou don't have to shoulder allTake it easyWhy don't you kiss me baby?I'm waiting so longGive me some more your smileDon't give me sad lookWith the best will in the world,we can't be perfectBut it's early to give upWith the best will in the world,We can't be good loser'Cause we're dreamer, never say dieWhy don't you tell me? Talk to meYou don't have to shoulder allGive me some more your smileFight for myself Fight for yourselfFight for myself Fight for yourselfDrugscan't kill teens,spirits any more any moreDrugs can't kill teens,spirits any more any more However - I think "Cleaver Sleazoid" parodies take the cake too.

Alkaloid 3143 Posted May 17, 2015 I was listening to this song and instantly thought of this thread, so here you go: The first screaming verse is entirely in English. Not hard to understand, necessarily, but they don't make sense at all.

Pretsy 1343 Posted June 6, 2015 Why no TK mentions? I think his (intentional) Engrish is what makes his music in LTS and his solo somewhat special as well Examples: "So fuck you Lady, So fuck you Lady, So fuck you In my Room, get off the sofa, get off the sofa"- Akai Yuuwaku (Ling Tosite Sigure), these lyrics were not pressed for some reason"fake's plastic world keep it secret motion" - Abnormalize (Ling Tosite Sigure)"do you know my arpeggio?" - Hysteric Phase Show (Ling Tosite Sigure) - it's grammatically correct but still awkward, heh"i not crazy am you are do you know crazy" - i not crazy am you are (Ling Tosite Sigure)+ many of his song titles are in overall grammatically absurd ("Nakano Kill You", "A Over Die", "This Is Is This?", "Seacret CM", "Telecastic Fake Show", "Filmsick Mystery" etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you love such me?Carry... May in a side all the time?Carry... Do not already cry...Carry... I do not go anywhereWho made me such a figure?It is a already manyTo die, if it was such a thing is easierIt is a too pitiable and is too unhappy...I am not a goodIt gives without seeing me by such eyeI have really become what?The head is likely to be crazyPlease help me...

hiroki 5521 Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) i'm surprised SoniqRush's "Manifest" hasn't been mentioned - it has some of the most hilarious/bizarre lyrics i've ever come across: apparently they were so important the band took pains to sub it! Quote She who likes a stimulative thing has the unusual disposition. "I cannot be satisfied with a penis" She remembered excitement by covering urine into SEX.

len 67 Posted January 11, 2017 I find "lainy eyes" cute. Also I have a hard time deciphering Nocturnal Bloodlust's songs: Quote Welcome... Decay solution of human being. Hello welcome to the party Suck the guts out for the hunger Scents of bloodly flesh stimulate stupid brain due to take another system of the organ deeply with hatred Rotten spit, rotten spit, rotten saliva melt sacred orphan to make him fallen Dear my darling.. Unleash yourself Lost child will not be forgiven, but he will blame for the sarcastic voices Innocent brimstone devours past ashes. Levenge. Innovate. Look down on you We're sharing everlasting pain Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was falling We're sharing everlasting pain Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was faling into the grave. Decay solution of human being. Hello welcome to the party Suck the guts out for the hunger Scents of bloodly flesh stimulate stupid brain due to take another system of the organ deeply with hatred Rotten spit, rotten spit, rotten saliva melt sacred orphan to make him fallen Dear my darling.. We're sharing everlasting pain Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was falling We're sharing everlasting pain Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was faling into the grave. Sensitive consciousness is blackout. Drastic scream from cage spreads and fades out The echo of foot just tells final opening of this tragedy We're sharing everlasting pain Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was falling We're sharing everlasting pain Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was faling into the grave. This pain reminds me of disease is suffering life held by you Why did you come closer? Today is different than yesterday, well it's too late... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
