oh... no... there are just some songs that cannot (must not) be adapted/translated in japanese. (i'm not really surprised this one's a mess tho. it gotta be hella difficult to translate rap) (and j-hope's japanese/rap might (surprisingly?) be the one that was the most clear and understandable)
the song sounds so weird in japanese... the boys look amazing tho! wet bangtan equals a happy me. e̶x̶c̶e̶p̶t̶ ̶j̶u̶n̶g̶k̶o̶o̶k̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶i̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶l̶o̶o̶k̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶
お前のBIGな夢はなに? is that what they're saying in the beginning? i... i really like these kids but i could barely make out a word they were saying (though i found the japanese lyrics online and now it makes more sense)
It could be because my Japanese has regressed since I started focusing on Chinese, but I didn't think it was that bad either.
I mean, I've heard a lot worse from Kpop translated into Japanese. The raps were going to be awkward, Korean rap and Japanese rap don't flow the same way, so I give them props for trying.
no u did not make the boys wet did you... OTL /jailtime
despite some lil awkwardness in the lyrics here and there i thought this song was surprisingly well adapted into japanese. j-hope's japanese sounded effing good :D and all that faster rap-verses also worked in japanese, i'm so proud of the boys :D (i know the jp atrocity that is shinee's lucifer so bear with my praise/lenience on bts xDDD )
odd lyric flow, bad pronunciation, bad word choices in the lyrics, raps NG... no vocal prowess. that's pretty much all I have to say. And I actually liked the Korean version to a point. Not a fan, but it was alright.
So....wet Bangtan. The sound of the song in Japanese was pretty awkward, but that doesn't dampen how happy or proud I am that they did the entire rap in Japanese. Most groups either make a song all English or just keep it in Korean, but that they took that challenge, tend all members rapped in Japanese? Mess or not, that is a feat.
this mv is really great, they look so good. the song is weird in japanese, but i'm proud they tried to do the whole rap verses on japanese without additional english lyrics.
