hmm Tarou sounds like a Japanese name and the -kun should mean he's a close figure, or a boy of the same or younger age
*shrugs* perhaps he's a friend?

but "papa to the mountains, mama to the river" it should mean that they've divorced =/


and to think he always looks so happy in videos and clips..

[itsf0'y0'mynd]

^ yea thts wut i thynk too....

i always thote meevs had a brother not a sister....would tht meen he was the youngest or would he be the oldest? ahh so confused @_@

[.yiaZ.]

^ yeah i think he is.. he might be older then her... i dunno the age thing but yeah i don't think he has a brother...

but yeah miyavi he's a lonley boi inside....i wanna hug him

[bluecarrot]

I'm thinking "Gaddess" is Goddess and "Tarou-kun" is just a generic term like "boy next door"

I personally don't trust most things on wikipedia and until its confirmed in a Miyavi interview I wouldn't think much of it.

i'm sure of that..the gaddess thing..and miyavi is always using words that guys shouldn't use... i can't explain it.. i forgot what it was...

i looked it up..TAROU-kun is the equivalent of 'Bob'...ahah.. 'i'm sorry bob'. TxT

JapaneseObesession: you are right..that's definitely reasonable...about his mom and his dad being in different landscapes.

[nobody knows]

hmmm as for the "Bob" thing you mentioned... you know how everyone uses the name "Bob" as just a random name, and for anonymous, etc.?

maybe he was just apologizing to anyone. Like any other person he thinks he might've disappointed or someone he might've forgotten, or doesn't want to mention (ID protection!! ) he just used Tarou to replace the name?

[precious4e]

^To the Japanese using Tarou-kun is kind of like how we use "John Smith" it's just a common name referring to anyone.

There was a site that had the translation to this song and notes on it. Some of the lines he uses come from Japanese proverbs/tales. Especially the one about the mountain and river. I'll have to see if I can find that site again.

^awww my poor boy T___T
*snuggles Miyavi*

[Yukita]

one of my friends met his ass in the topanga mall, he was like, "... are you miyavi???" and miyavi was like "yes! JAPANESEJAPANESEJAPANESE" and then his manager said they had to go.


LOLOCAUST

[bluecarrot]

^did she post it on myspace?

okay..that piece of music..is officially..saddening..

and when he asks 'hey mommy hey daddy why did you have sex?; (he doesn't say it in the song..but its muted out..)

maybe he's questioning his existence.

the title of his recently released photobook is also in his "hitachi kinenbi" song..

haha, it's my korean fob friend, who is a man.
no, he deleted his myspace, but i doubt he would have posted it there anyway hahaaa

[nobody knows]

yeah I was thinking

"why did you two have sex together if you weren't going to stay together? Why did you have ME?"

:'( aww

[ladyyehse]

yeah that was what i was thinking too. the whole why did dad and mom have sex?
miyavi is pretty deep, but it kinda makes me sad when he gets serious.

Drink a toast to the death of Peter Pan.

that, amazingly. is so true.

[bluecarrot]

^this is what the translators of masa karasu jessica (i assume) translated it to be:

*translator's note: He sings this song because even though he's turned 20, it's like "whoopie" it hasn't changed anything much. Now he has more responsibilties, whatever, like he didn't before. And Japan is STILL in an economic recession, so what's there to celebrate? The death of fun, the death of innocence, the death of childhood, the death of Peter Pan? Hip-hip hooray!

i'm looking at the translated lyrics at masa karasu now.. it seems the translator of the lyrics also finds..trying to figure miyavi's lyrics out..very interesting too.

haha, it's my korean fob friend, who is a man.
no, he deleted his myspace, but i doubt he would have posted it there anyway hahaaa

my bad..

that's cool..to see miyavi in person.

[ladyyehse]

lyrics are probably the more meaningful part of a song. and the music helps portray it.

miyavi does well in both. but figuring the lyrics out is probably the more difficult and interesting

*reads lyrics all night long*

[bluecarrot]

^ i can do that all night too..

yeah....his 'funky monkey vibration' is pretty sweet too.. ^w^=


here's one to chill your bones..

miyavi's 'coin locker baby' has a story behind it..

"Coin Lockers Baby is actually a ghost story in Japan. It goes like this: A woman became pregnant by her lover who abruptly left her. She gave birth to the baby, but abandoned it in a coin locker of a train station. Several years later, she had to deliver some documents to a company near the station. Hesitating, she walked by the coin locker. A little boy was sitting there and sobbing. But, strangely, people were just walking by the boy without paying any attention. The woman asked the boy, "What's the matter?" He gave her no answer. "Where is your father?" "I don't know," said the boy still sobbing with his head down. "Where is your mother?" The boy looked up at her, said "Here," and then quickly vanished." (also from masa karasu)


sad story..does miyavi feel abandoned..and that's why he wrote a song to the story...

i can imagine a visual for this story...i don't wanna listen to the song anymore..because in the beginning..there's a baby crying like it's drowning...TxT

[itsf0'y0'mynd]

^awww, thats sad wait but the boy died right, and if everybody is walking past him but only she can see him then its like kind of haunting her, and when his mom asks where his mom is and he says "here" that means he can rest in peace cause he found his mom......ok...wait why would you put your baby in a coin locker?

hhmmm... if miyavi made a song like that then did he feel like kind of neglected? i mean somewhere under his post thing he put something about a latchkey kid, the latchkey kid thing was his sign after that post thing......hmm...miyavi is confusing.

[nobody knows]

wahhh T___T Miyaviiii T__T
I don't like it when people talk about how strange his lyrics can be, because they're all based upon himself, and that's like calling him the bizarre kid

which is most definitely rude. Any person would feel that way after going through what he's been through ><

[neon_buildings]

awww...thats sad to think...miyavi was neglected when he was younger. =[

[bluecarrot]

JapaneseObesession: miyavi definitely isnt normal..and i didn't imply that it was strange either.

he's absolutely unique..

but what i meant was that the song scares me now because i know the story behind the title.

and i'm sorry that you feel that way.. but.. its just my opinion....and that's just me...and those are just things i find scary.

[precious4e]

^They have a popular book called Coin Locker Babies. I'm planning to read that book next. Apparently it was a common thing to do back then in Japan. To leave unwanted babies in coin lockers.
