Birthday Video letter

When you're far from children and grand kids, video letter or WiFi call are the best way to communicate.

Yesterday, my grand kids sent me their birthday greetings. 
This is from Mi chan.




Then this is from Ken, Yuri and Ryo chan.

Actually, I opt for video letters anytime rather than for them to send birthday presents by slow mails.

Thank you to all my beautiful grand kids.

Ore Neko NHK




Setiap pagi seusai kerja-kerja wajib dan membuat nasi dan lauk untuk bekal orang bekerja, saya duduk waktu jam tepat 6.55 untuk menonton ini.

Seperti bahasa Melayu juga pengakuaan "saya" ada berbagai kosa kata contoh aku, den, beta, patik, hamba, orang, awak dll (setakat yang saya tahu).
Orang Jepun yang amat mementingkan taraf kedudukan diri dalam masyarakat, pengakuan "aku" mencatatkan kosa kata yang lebih banyak.
Lazimnya untuk setiap orang "watashi" itu kerap digunakan tapi selainnya ialah "watakushi, washi, boku, ore, oira, jibun" dll (setakat yang saya tahu).

Ini lagu kucing yang saya tunggu setiap pagi.
Ore neko (x2)
Koko ore no uchi (x2)
Kore itsumono gohan
Kore su-pe-shi-ya-ru (special) gohan
sore daisuki omocha
sore ochitsukune toko
ore neko
kore uchi no yatsu
koitsu gohan kureru
koitsu asonde koreru
ore neko dakara koitsu no kotoba wakaranai
ore neko dakedo, koitsu no kimochi naze ka yoku wakaruuuuuu...
ore neko (x4)

Terjemahan @Leyla.Shuri.
aku kuching (x2)
ini rumah aku (x2)
ini makanan biasa
ini makanan istimewa
itu mainan paling suka
itu tempat rehat paling suka
ini tuan aku
tuan ini beri makan
tuan ini bermain-main
akur tidak faham kata-kata tuan ini sebab aku kucing
tapi walaupun aku kucing, aku faham perasaan tuan aku
aku kucing (x4)
(Lebih banyak lagi perkataan Jepun yang diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Melayu dalam novel-novel saya-lihat novel saya di sebelah kanan skrin).

Massan (マッサン)

Gambar drama pagi dalam link ini:     massan


Drama pagi NHK ini tamat pada 28 Mac. 2015. Saya mengikuti drama ini dari awal hingga ke akhirnya (sekali pun tidak tertinggal) setiap hari selama 6 bulan ia ditayangkan.
Ini salah satu drama motivasi yang sama temanya dengan O-shin. Ada sedikit kelainan drama ini dengan yang lain sebelum ini. Kelainannya ialah drama ini buat julung-julung kali mengambil seorang asing (daripada USA) sebagai watak utama.
Drama ini darihal seorang pemuda, Massan, daripada keluarga yang membuat sake (minuman). Dia ke Scotland untuk mendalami ilmu pembuatan wiski. Dalam pada itu dia jatuh cinta pada Ellie dan akhirnya kahwin lari disebabkan bantahan daripada ibu Ellie.
Mereka sampai ke rumah Massan di Hiroshima. Ibu Massan tidak setuju dia membawa pulang menantu asing, seboleh-boleh mahu Massan ceraikan Ellie.
Di syarikatnya pula, Massan dimarahi ketua syarikat sebab mereka menganggapi apabila Massan pulang selepas tamat kursus di Scotland, Massan akan mengahwini anak perempuannya. Anak perempuan yang dijanjikan kahwin dengan Massan pula memendam perasaan dendam terhadap Ellie yang dituduh mencuri kekasihnya.
Setiap hari Ellie dibuli. Adegan perang Pasifik yang meletus di Jepun, Ellie dituduh sebagai pengitip musuh, Ellie keguguran kandungan disebabkan kemalangan dan selepas ini tidak mampu melahirkan lagi dan kegagalan yang berulang untuk mendapatkan cita-rasa wiski untuk orang Jepun, semua episod ini sangat memberi kesan apabila ia dihadapi dengan kegigihan dan semangat kental kedua-dua watak ini untuk terus mencapai kejayaan dan kebahagiaan dalam hidup mereka.
Apa-apa pun disebab tiada ruang waktu untuk saya meneruskan tulisan ini, drama ini berakhir dengan kejayaaan Massan mengeluarkan wiski pertama buat Jepun-atau Nippon Ichi wiski di Hokkaido.
Ini cerita sejarah dan motivasi. Sekarang wishi Nikka memang terkenal di Jepun.
Saya terjemahkan lagu ini ke dalam b. Inggeris, jika mengambil terjemahan ini, sila lekatkan nama @leyla shuri.

We’ve to believe the passing days, it’ll be wheat.]

The country I was born, the country I grew; the country of people that I love
The wheat cry, the wheat bloom; I’m living for tomorrow.]

[Even as you lie low in mud, continue to listen to the song
Cross it from there, hold on to your strength
In any situations, accept it; the future of the homeland]

逢いたくていま-Misia

MISIA – Missing You Now Lyrics: MISIA Music: Jun Sasaki

Do you remember the day we first met?
I haven’t forgotten a single day that’s passed
I want to feel everything you had your eyes on
I looked up at the sky, are you there now watching over me?

Tell me… I’m missing you now
There’s so much I want to tell you
Oh, I miss you, I miss you I sadly long for your presence
Where are you?
Hold me I’ll always be here
If I knew that we’d never see each other again
I would never have let go of your hand
If I had just cried and told you, “Stay with me”
Would you still be here, smiling beside me?
I’m missing you now
There’s so much I want you to hear
Oh, I miss you, I miss you
Tears flow as time just passes me by
Oh, I miss you, hold me close I’ll always be thinking of you
Even if my destiny won’t change,
I have something to tell you “I want to go back…”
to that day, that time, this one wish is all I need I’m missing you now
There’s so much I want you to know
Oh, I miss you, I miss you
All I could do was wish it was all a dream
This heart of mine is still crying I’ll always be thinking of you

初めて出会った日のこと 覚えてますか
過ぎ行く日の思い出を 忘れずにいて
あなたが見つめた全てを 感じていたくて
空を見上げた 今はそこで 私を見守っているの? 教えて…
今 逢いたい あなたに
伝えたいことが たくさんある
ねえ 逢いたい 逢いたい
気づけば面影 探して 悲しくて
どこにいるの? 抱きしめてよ
私は ここにいるよ ずっと
もう二度と逢えないことを 知っていたなら
繋いだ手を いつまでも 離さずにいた
『ここにいて』と そう素直に 泣いていたなら
今も あなたは 変わらぬまま 私の隣りで 笑っているかな
今 逢いたい あなたに
聞いて欲しいこと いっぱいある
ねえ 逢いたい 逢いたい
涙があふれて 時は いたずらに過ぎた
ねえ 逢いたい 抱きしめてよ
あなたを 想っている ずっと
運命が変えられなくても 伝えたいことがある
『戻りたい…』あの日 あの時に 叶うのなら 何もいらない
今 逢いたい あなたに
知って欲しいこと いっぱいある
ねえ 逢いたい 逢いたい
どうしようもなくて 全て夢と願った
この心は まだ泣いてる
あなたを 想っている ずっと

いとしき日々よ


 O Endearing Days - theme song of JIN season 2

Even if time fades away
Our interwoven bond will never come apart
Oh your voice
The more I go about forgetting it
The more it imprints in me.

Holding your hands tightly
And embracing you
Even though I know that those things are our impermissible fate
That smile, those tears And that earnest memory
I wanted to touch them all
From the bottom of my heart...

O endearing days,
please don't say goodbye
I want to see you, I want to see you one more time I will keep crying out until I reach you
I will not forget, even if this body disappears
Oh the wind that blows to you,
the flowers that bloom for you
Oh the tomorrow that I chased after with you
I want to see you again

Right now, in my heart there remains
The most beautiful setting sun in the world
Oh and that eye,
Rather than uneasiness, it gleams with great hope
By just gazing into your eyes from a close distance I knew everything about happiness
Even if sadness is awaiting on the road ahead
That wish, those words And that single ray of light
I wanted to protect them all
Till forever...

That smile, those tears And that earnest memory I wanted to touch them all
From the bottom of my heart...

O endearing days, please don't say goodbye
I want to see you, I want to see you one more time
I will keep crying out until I reach you
I will not forget, even if this body disappears
Oh the wind that blows to you, the flowers that bloom for you
Oh the tomorrow that I chased after with you
I want to see you again

O endearing days,
Let's dash out now.

 いとしき日々よ 平井堅 たとえ時がうつろうと 縫いあわせた絆は決してほどけない ああ あなたの声は 忘れれば忘れゆくほどに 焼きついてた あなたの手を 強く握ることも あなたを抱きしめることも 許されない運命(さだめ)だと知ってても その笑顔に その涙に そのひたむきな想いに触れたかった 心から… いとしき日々よ サヨナラは言わないで あなたに会いたくて もう一度会いたくて 届くまで叫びつづける 忘れはしない この体が消えても あなたに吹く風よ あなたに咲く花よ あなたと追いかけた明日よ また会いたくて 今も胸に残るよ 世界で一番美しい夕陽が ああ その瞳には 不安より大きな希望が輝いてた ただ近くで見つめあえるだけで 幸せのすべてを知った 道のさきに哀しみが待ってても その願いを その言葉を そのひとすじの光を守りたかった いつまでも… その笑顔に その涙に そのひたむきな想いに触れたかった 心から… いとしき日々よサヨナラは言わないで あなたに会いたくて もう一度会いたくて 届くまで叫びつづける 忘れはしない この体が消えても あなたに吹く風よ あなたに咲く花よ あなたと追いかけた明日よ また会いたくて いとしき日々よ いま歩きだそう

借りぐらしのアリエッティ



 As I mentioned in previous entry, this island is going to some weather transformation. The winds doesn't know which way to blow and sometime get confused over the season. I avoid going out at this time.
Sometimes I do get stuck over plotting and story lines. I guess this is a good time to explore. Explore for me is not going into abyss blue lagoon under the sea or struggling over thick iceberg on the Himalaya. No, those are too much suffering.

There are many novels and comic books that are adapted into drama series and anime in Japan. Some of these novels are historical and some educational. Mostly those novel adapted in movies are block-busters and written by famous writers.
I will write down some of the movies and anime as we go along. Such a waste to let people out of Japan to be ignored.

If you see the screen up there, the title is Karigurashi no Arriety or Arriety-The Borrower.
This animation is from Gibli Studio which made Tonari no Totoro. The story is about a community of small people living underground. They survive by borrowing (actually taking) food from houses like lump of sugar or tissue papers. They cleverly hide but live peacefully without betraying their existence in this world.
I was studying the screen. I see every grass and how the winds blow those flowers, nature brought out so real and alive, though just anime or graphic drawing. One can never compare the talent of those graphic artists from Gibli Studio.

RU, Ru, ru.

Have you heard any song without lyric?
Yet again have you heard song without lyric being sang with evergreen vitality without losing its initial novelty?
This song did.
No lyric since its arrival in 1960 but is still demanded.
Somewhere along the line, somebody did suggest lyric to go with it but the emptiness of the song without word is much more mysterious somehow.
So the song remains just ru, ru, ru.

***********

目を閉じて何も見えず
Tutup mata itu segalanya padam
哀しくて目を開ければ
ketika bersedih, celikkan mata
荒れ野に向かう道より
perjalanan menuju ke belantara
他に見るものはなし
tiada apa dalam pandangan
砕け散る 宿命の星たちよ
nasib bintang-bintang yang jatuh bertaburan
せめて密やかに この身を照らせよ
dalam kesenyapan, hati ini disinarkan
我は行く 蒼白き頬のままで
aku pergi dalam wajah lesu ini
我は行く さらば昴よ
aku pergi selamat tinggal Subaru
呼吸をすれば胸の中
dalam kehidupan ini
木枯らしは吠き続ける
ribut dingin berterusan
されど我が胸は熱く
pun begitu kalbu ini terus mencari cahaya
夢を追い続けるなり
tetap mencari impian hangat
さんざめく名も無き星たちよ
gugurkan segala bintang yang tidak bernama
せめて鮮やかに
dengan sinarnya
その身を終われよ
hilanglah hati ini
我も行く 心の命ずるままに
aku pergi membawa hati resah
我も行く さらば昴よ
aku pergi selamat tinggal Subaru
いつの日か 誰かがこの道を
satu hari nanti jalan ini terbuka
いつの日か 誰かがこの道を
satu hari nanti jalan ini terbuka
我は行く 蒼白き頬のままで
aku pergi dengan wajah lesu ini
我は行く さらば昴よ
aku pergi selamat tinggal Subaru
我は行く さらば昴よ

Dakara onegai soba ni oite ne
So please let me be by your side

津軽海峡・冬景色-Ishikawa Sayuri

The Red and White Song Contest for 2011 saw many songs related to those places affected by the Earthquake/Tsunami of the north region of Japan that happened on 11 March 2011. Those songs are heart-wrenching calling for love ones or family members or wishing to go home (to a place that is non-existent now).
Most of these songs are written ages before the tragedy happened. If not for the mention of places in the north, these songs would have been just another song.

Take this song. It mentions the Tsugaru Straits in the north that was badly damaged during the strong quake and the deadly tsunami.

I took some time to translate this song. Thinking it might be an item for the next karaoke session.
*Please be kind to mention [Translation by LEYLA SHURI] if ever you think of copy pasting my translation*

 
 Tsugaru Kaikyou • Fuyu Geshiki [津軽海峡・冬景色] : Ishikawa Sayuri

Ueno hatsu no yakouressha orita toki kara
Getting off from Ueno last train
Aomori eki wa yuki no naka
In the snow of Aomori station
Kita e kaeru hito no mure wa dare mo mukuchi de
Groups of people going back to the north are all silent
Uminari dake wo kiiteiru
Hearing only the rumble of the sea
Watashi mo hitori renrakusen ni nori
Alone taking the connecting line
Kogoesou na kamome mitsume naiteimashita
The cries of frozen sea-gulls that gaze blankly

 Ah , Tsugaru kaikyou fuyu geshiki
Ah, winter scene of Tsugaru Straits

 Goran are ga tappimisaki kita no hazure to
Look at the north winds at the edge of the cape
Mishiranu hito ga yubi wo sasu
People watching pointing fingers
Iki de kumoru mado no garasu (glass) fuite mita kedo
Clearing my breathe from the window glass
Haruka ni kasumi mieru dake
Only seeing mist from the distant

Sayonara anata watashi wa kaerimasu
Goodbye darling, l’m returning

Kaze no oto ga mune wo yusuru, nake to bakari ni
The sound of winds filling my chest, only makes me feel like crying

Ah , Tsugaru kaikyou fuyu geshiki
Ah, winter scene of Tsugaru Straits (repeat) 

上野発の夜行列車 おりた時から
青森駅は 雪の中
北へ帰る人の群れは 誰も無口で
海鳴りだけを きいている
私もひとり 連絡船に乗り
こごえそうな鴎見つめ 泣いていました

ああ 津軽海峡冬景色 
ごらんあれが竜飛岬 北のはずれと
見知らぬ人が 指をさす
息でくもる窓のガラス ふいてみたけど
はるかにかすみ 見えるだけ

さよならあなた 私は帰ります
風の音が胸をゆする 泣けとばかりに
ああ 津軽海峡冬景色

上を向いて歩こ



Lagu ini memberi semangat kekuatan untuk mangsa-mangsa gempa bumi dan tsunami di Tohoku Jepun.
Liriknya saya jadikan puisi.

Pandanglah ke langit, berjalan
Jangan menitiskan air mata,
Kenangan musim bunga,
Malam itu aku bersendiri.

Lihatlah langit, berjalan
Kirakan bintang setiap satu,
bersama air mata
memori pada hari2 yang hangat,
Malam itu,
aku bersendiri.

Kebahagiaan ada di sebalik awan,
Kebahagian ada di langit.

Berjalanlah dan pandang ke atas,
jangan biarkan air mata tumpah.
Berjalanlah dalam kesedihan,
Malam itu,
aku bersendiri.

Kesedihan di sebalik bintang,
Kesedihan di sebalik bayang bulan,
berjalanlah dan pandang ke langit
jangan biarkan air mata berlinangan
berjalanlah walau hati sedih,
Malam ini...aku bersendiri.

Consideration



This is what the video says.

Nobody can see feelings,
but COMPASSION can be seen,
Thoughts cannot be seen,
... but everybody can see CONSIDERATION.
(translation by Leyla Shuri).

I am dancing...



Spring seems so stubborn. The sky this morning is still grey. Mr. Sun is still hibernating in heaven's cave. I put on this song to lighten up my mood. When my blood got heated up I sing along and danced with it.
Hubby walked in the room saying his next meeting will be at the end of this month.
I said, "Ok. please put it in the ice-box!"
And continue dancing...la, la, la...

Gegege Mangga

GeGeGe Kitaro

Mizuki Shigeru came home with only one arm after the war. Japan economy was at its lowest after the war with high unemployment. With only one arm and what with the bad economy, Shigeru used his only talent to live. Drawing cartoon.

A few years when the war ended, he sold his cartoon to a small printing company. But his comic books did not sell well. His family lived a very poor life. The electric to his house was cut off due to unpaid bills. They eat very ripe bananas (almost black), to survive the hard life.
NHK is showing this drama now, GEGEGE Nyobou or Gegege's wife. The drama recalls the cartoonist life as recollected by his wife.
The reward of pure love of a wife to a poor cartoonist with one arm.

Shigeru break came when his talent was found by a friend who owned a printing company. Then, after several issues of his mangga, a well-known comic book company found his work. At first, Shigeru was asked to produce sci-fi cartoons but he rejected this offer because he feels his talent was not in sci-fi.
Then, Shigeru was approached again and this time he was given his choice of any comic. He agreed but the printing company gave him one condition. That he must also produce his mangga (comic story) for the TV company.
That was the beginning of GEGEGE KITARO on television.

Shigeru already have a theme to his mangga. All the characters in the mangga are ghosts. His comic ghosts are the One-Eye Cup baby, the flying carpet ghost but the heroes among the ghosts is the One-Eye boy named Kitaro.

There was no turning back after his first mangga came on the first comic book followed by series program on television.

To make story short, Shigeru is now a very rich man. Selling his mangga on television, mangga magazine and they even make video games out of it!

The laughter of past
comes but once in a lifetime
wilting rose petals

Night frog lullaby

Live in Japan 1974-Sing (Japanese Version)

I was doing some editing right into the night. Outside, in the breezy summer night, I can heard the night frog calling. There is some kind of rhythm to the call. Then, I remember another call. A call to sing.

Night frog lullaby
Kanashi koto* in blue
the moon chorus too.

*kanashi koto: something sad.

Health/Erimo Misaki

Erimo Misaki

One of my sister-in-laws is obese or over-weight. Recently I saw her and noticed she has greatly reduced her size. I commented on this to her and she said she has to reduce her weight as she is going along with the government. The government, I questioned back, why the government?
She said the government is following her progress. Every couple of weeks, health officers called her and take note of her weight. If her weight does not improve, she would have to come for the training, two or three times a week. She doesn't want to be at the training center, so she is doing the dieting seriously.

Another friend's husband was a heavy drinker. The yearly check-up found him to suffer from diabetes. This man is healthy but he was warded for two months. While in hospital for two months, he was fed with calories-counting meals and did a tight training to reduce his weight.
After that two months, the diabetes problem disappeared and he's weight went down 12kg.
He was given a warning. If the diabetes come back, he would be hospitalized again. Oh no, he will not go into that torture chamber again and watch his weight carefully thereafter and of course the drinking is out.

Last year, my husband waist-line was 98 cm. The hospital grouped him as having the metabolic syndrome. He must reduced it to 85 cm. Now, he is at 90cm and still trying.

One of my haiku friends had blood pressure reading at 145/85. Over 140/80 is a bad warning in Japan.
So, this friend now have to do training 3 times a week to bring that pressure down. She is monitored. She is given a health card and writes down everything she eats and the hours she work-out.

Touch life if you are obese, diabetic and suffering from high-blood pressure in Japan.

The video above is my collection (actually for me to practice karaoke). Hubby asked me why I put up such difficult song.
Well, this is my blog and I put up the songs that I like/fancy. People out there can put up whatever songs they like on their own blog. Excuse me!

北の街ではう 悲しみを暖炉で
kitano machi dewa mou kanashimi o danrode
燃やしはじめてるらしい
moyashi hajimeteru rashii
理由のわからないことで 悩んでいるうち
wakeno wakaranai kotode nayande iru uchi
老いほれてしまうから
oiborete shimau kara
默りとおした 歳月を
damari toushita toshi tsuki o
ひろい集めて 暖めあおう
hiroi atsumete atatame aou
襟裳の春は 何もない春です
erimono haru wa nanimo nai haru desu

君は二杯目だよね コーヒーカシプに
kimi wa nihai me dayo ne ko-hi (Coffee) kappu (Cup) ni
角砂糖をひとつだったね
kakuzatouo hitotsu datta ne
捨てて来てしまった わずらわしさだけを
sutete kite shimatta wazurawashisa dake o
くるくるかきまわして
kurukuru kakimawashite
通りすぎた 夏の匂い
toori sugita natsu no nioi
想い出して 懐かしいね
omoidashite natsukashi ne
襟裳の春は 何もない春です
erimono haruwa nanimo nai haru desu

日々の暮しはいやでも やってくるけど
hibi no kurashi wa iya demo yatte kuru kedo
靜かに笑ってしまおう
shizukani waratte shimaou
いじけることだけが 生きることだと
ijikeru koto dake ga ikiru koto dato
飼い馴らしすぎたので
kainarashi sugita node
身構えながら 話すなんて
migamae nagara hanasu nan te
ああおくびょう なんだよね
aa okubyou nan dayo ne

襟裳の春は 何もない春です
erimono haru wa nanimo nai haru desu
寒い友だちが 訪ねてきたよ
samui tomodachi ga tazunete kita yo
遠慮はいらないから 暖まってゆきなよ
enryowa iranai kara atatamatte yukina yo

If time allows, I would love to translate this lyric, so I can share the feelings of this song with you. But I am swallowed with some tasks.
