[4ever*ayu]

A Comp-chan ! omg so cute!!! XD


I can't wait to hear the new version in chinese!!!

[kirei_ayumi]

ayu and this guy?! he seems to have nice lips

[4ever*ayu]

..if only his hair style change... :p

[jbrat2219]

^ And his clothes lol

[AyUta]

Oh wow, can't wait for the Chinese version! It'll be interesting to hear her speak Chinese.(^-^) Is Ayu semi fluent in Chinese...?

[truehappiness]

Ayu does not know Chinese. She knows like xie xie and stuff, but most people who have gone to China / listened to Chinese people talk would know that..

She seems like she might've rewritten the lyrics in Chinese (the rest of them?) on her own... at least according to what she said here, and all of the "speaking" she does is based on phonetic memorization or w/e. She basically learns the sounds in Japanese / katakana and then regurgitates them while singing, and it sounds like Chinese..

At least that's what I gathered from watching the AT07 making with her reading the sheet with the Chinese lyrics in katakana..

[pommy48]

so ayu reads pinyin? or something
so the lyrics..is japanese sounding like chinese?
so the lyrics in chinese would make absolutely no sense? @_@

[Jwiz]

^ Of course it makes sense!..lol =x

Like TH said ayu used katakana to facilitate herself in learning the prounciation of the chinese words, since she couldn't understand chinese words.

[truehappiness]

She had a sheet with the Chinese words in "Japanese sounds" so like..

"Wo ai ni" would be "をあいに".

It makes sense to people listening but not so much for Ayu since she uh, doesn't know Chinese.

[pommy48]

oh..oh! i see! so does ayu write the chinese lyrics with katakana? but then who wrote the chinese lyrics so they actually make sense? @_@ i'm getting so confused now

[Jwiz]

Someone else...maybe chom-can? who had helped her with both foreign and japan version.

Because when it comes to chinese lyrics, someone has to write them, then pass to ayu and teach her how to pronounce each and every word. After that ayu will use katakana to help herself pronouce the chinese words. And probably the chinese version will be a translation of the orignal version and SO it shares the same meaning with original version, i think =)

[truehappiness]

In any kind of manner, I gripped my pencil and eraser,
Regardless of night or day, and everywhere,
And I fought with the Chinese lyrics.

I think she had a Japanese -> Chinese dictionary and chose phrases that fit best or something..

I mean she'd already done it with the chorus of Who... at AT07 so..

[pommy48]

ah i see now~ and she probably had someone revise it so the grammar is all proper and does makes sense~ ok thanks!

[shannon-nonnahs]

OH GOSH!! I can't wait to hear the Chinese version of Who...! THANKS FOR THE NEWS! (:

[yoshino]

Wow. thanks for the news and translation.. it seems interesting. =)

[AyUta]

Ah, alright. Thanks TH

[tasking]

(And the Taiwan / China versions tend to come at the most a few days after..)
