Last Friday, I posted something about Ayumi Hamasaki’s lyrics. The posting is titled “music//ichi“. If you’re wonder what “ichi” is, it means “one”. And today, this posting is titled “music//ni”, I don’t think it’ll take you long to figure it’s number two now.
I plan to write one of these posting every Friday until I reach “music//ju” with “ju” meaning “ten”. After blogging for 5 months, I am starting to run out of ideas on certain days. I simply have nothing in my mind. Focusing on a weekly subject gives a good start. Perhaps those who have writers block right now can try something like that. 
Anyway, today, I’ll do the same. The song is titled “Densetsu no Onsen”, translated to be er.. “Legendary Hot Springs Turtle”. Sang by Yukino Satsuki, taken from the soundtracks of Love Hina, a Japanese cartoon.
Densetsu no Onsen GAME [Legendary Hot-Springs Turtle]
dete okure dete okure watashi no
negaigoto mo sono koora o hito kosureba kanau
[Come out! Come out! The things we
wish for, if we rub this shell once, they will come true.]
KAME yo!
[The turtle!]tonde yuke tonde yuke miyutto nai te
sono ryote o PATAPATA sase asu no yume ni mukau
[Fly away! Fly away! Cry out and
make those two hands shake and head towards the dreams of tomorrow.]
KAME yo!
[The turtle!]sachi okure sachi okure tsurai toki mo
sono tsuminaki mata egao ni namida ga dechaimasu
[Have fortune! Have fortune! Even times of pain,
that guilt becomes a smile again. The tears are coming out.]
KAME yo!

Okay, this got to be the craziest lyrics so far. Actually, so far there’s only two such postings, so there’s not much to compare. I mean even the title “Legendary Hot Springs Turtle” itself is amusing already. I like the “KAMA yo!” which means “The turtle!”.
This is how the song sounds like. The tune sounds like one of those I-love-my-motherland Chinese songs. Listening to it makes me want to join the Chinese wars to fight the Mongols off the border [that's a long time ago]. The singing reminds of sounds like Japanese folk singing. Just imagingYukino (the singer) singing in her silliest and most confused voice. Her singing pauses with a chunk of Japanese text will sounds “sexily silly”. With constant staccatos in her singing and slow rock background, I rate this song The Most Amusing Tune I heard.
