soc 350 #6 learning the social ethic through music...

So this song that I used for this week is by Yui and it is called rolling star. Below are the lyrics in its original form Japanese and then translated into English.
Original / Romaji LyricsEnglish Translation
Mou gaman bakka shiterannai yo 
Iitai koto wa iwanakucha 
Kaerimichi yuugure no basutei 
Ochikonda senaka ni Bye Bye Bye
My patience is running out
I want to say what I wanna say
Coming home from the bus stop at twilight
Saying bye bye bye to sad backs of others
Kimi no Fighting Pose misenakya oh oh
You gotta show you Fighting Pose oh oh
Yume ni made mita you na sekai wa 
Arasoi mo naku heiwa na nichijou 
Demo genjitsu wa hibi to rabu de 
Tama ni kuyandari shiteru 
Sonna Rolling Days
A world like I have seen in my dreams
Without conflict, just daily peace
But in reality, I tend to worry about
Troubles and the daily grind
Those Rolling Days
Koronjattatte iin ja nai no 
Son toki wa waratte ageru 
Norikonda basu no oku kara 
Chiisaku hohoemi ga mieta
Even though you keep on falling,
You laugh and get up every time
As I board the vacant back of the bus
You flash me a small smile
Kimi wo tayori ni shiteru yo
I must place my trust in you
Yume ni made mita you na Sweet Love 
Koibitotachi wa kakure ga wo sagasu no 
Demo genjitsu wa aenai hi ga 
Tsuzukinagara mo shinjiteru no Lonely Days
Sweet love like I have seen in my dream
Lovers searching for hidden refuge
But in reality, on the days we cannot meet,
Continue on but I believe in Lonely Days
Oh yeah, yeah...
Tsumazuitatte Way to go 
Yeah, yeah, yeah! 
Dorodoroke Rolling Star
Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you stumble, Way to go
Yeah, yay!
A muddled Rolling Star
Naru beku egao de itai keredo 
Mamori nuku tame ni wa shikata nai deshou
It pains me so to see your smiling face, but
Is there no way to protect you till the end?
Kitto uso nante sou 
Imi wo motanai no 
All my loving...
Sou ja nakya yatterannai
There is no meaning to this lie, none at all
All my loving, 
Without it, I can't go on
Yume ni made mita you na sekai wa 
Arasoi mo naku heiwa na nichijou 
Demo genjitsu wa hibi to rabu de 
Tama ni kuyandari shiteru 
Sonna Rolling Days
A world like I have seen in my dreams
Without conflict, just daily peace
But in reality, I tend to worry about
Troubles and the daily grind
Those Rolling Days
Oh yeah, yeah... 
Sou wakatterutte 
Oh yeah, yeah... 
Tsumazuitatte Way to go 
Yeah, yeah, yeah! 
Doro doro ke Rolling Star

Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you understand it all
Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you stumble, way to go, 
Yeah yay
A muddled rolling star
I picked this video for the fact that I really love how this song moves me. That way even if its in its original language it still has the same meaning and feeling as when in English. I though this would be a respecting and individuals own experiences. By listing to the song in its traditional form shows my respect to try and understand before I break it down into English. For me music is a wonderful way to share ideas and tell stories  Music has its own divers are of topics and types. So for example the song "The cup song" by Anna Kendrick.Brake the song down into parts and really look at the lyrics  and try to understand what it is really about. It makes me wonder what all the song I really like are saying. If there reason I like them so much is for the fact that they have a underling idea to them that connects them all in away that I do not see. I know that songs are connected with what the writer wanted to get across as the idea. I also now that songs can be a part of history and a reflection on the time as to when they where written. It makes me think of what other musics have transmitted over time. I have always loved music even when I was little. I wish that I could read it better but I feel that even if you do not have the skill to read it you can still understand it. The music gives you a feeling that at times can not be explained. I always wonder if everyone feels this way about the music or if the mass majority feels a different way about it and why they would feel that way.
