諸行無常シンデレラは本の世界
You can't yell at me for posting so much today because technically it is tomorrow! XD
I got BoA's "Dakishimeru" stuck in my head today for the first time in ages, and I just thought I would write to tell you about the lyric that has most surprised me in any song ever. Regretfully, I am too lazy to come up with my own translation, so these are the lines as they are written in this subbed version of the PV.
I select a pair of shoes that I wear in a busy morning
The impermanence of things in "Cinderella" represents the nature of the world
Isn't that AWESOME?? The first time I read these subs I was totally surprised. BoA, you are a pop star known for your excellent dance moves and your multiple languages! Not for tying together Buddhist teachings and Western fairy tales! That is AWESOME!!!! XD XD XD
Actually ... well ... I didn't think that the first time. I don't think I really understood it the first time. Then I read some pre-modern Japanese literature. YES THE WORLD IS IMPERMANENT WE GET IT ALREADY.
You will never learn more synonyms for "impermanent" than in a pre-modern Japanese literature class. Do you think I'm joking? XD
