Hi, as I am very intensively featuring Ichiro in this Japanese language course, I remembered this song.
"Tokyo Incident" (東京事変 "Tokyo Jihen" in Japanese) is one of my favorite Japanese rock/pops group, especially because of the vocal, Ringo Shiina.
The group is formed on 2003 and split up in 2012. (Ringo continues solo activity)
Ringo, who also writes lyrics of all her songs, stated with the release of this song "Superstar" that she is an admirer of Ichiro and the song is inspired by him.
This video clip was publicized on the official Youtube channel of the band soon after his retirement announcement.
Obviously they are praising Ichiro!
Following is a part of the lyric, which I extracted in my lesson in Rooma-ji and in Hiragana.
<Roma ji>
Mirai wa mugendai sa
Jibun de tsukutte iku
Tabun anata wa soo iu to wakatte iru noni
Honno chotto zawameita asa ni
Koe o nakusu no
Watashi wa anata no tsuyoku hikaru manako omoidasu keredo
Moshimo aetato shite yorokobe naiyo
Kayowai kyoo no watashi dewa
Koredewa mada
Key Words
Mirai 未来 future
Shirankao 知らん顔 Pretend to know nothing
Jibunde 自分で by oneself
Honno Chotto ほんの ちょっと just a little bit
Zawameku ざわめく make noise (mentally confused )
Koe o nakusu 声をなくす lose one's voice
Tsuyoku hikaru 強く光る shine brightly
Manako まなこ eyes
Omoidasu 思い出す remember
Moshimo ... ta toshite もしも…たとして Even if ...
Kayowai かよわい weak, delicate
