Hi Mr. Sorenzo! Your Japanese language skill is far beyond mine even if it isn't great. But I've run into this before. "In Japanese culture, decorative English, also known as kazari eigo, is a style of using English words or phrases in a nonsensical or unusual way to decorate products or advertisements." I think the English in the song is more this, than an attempt to put anything in for foreign audiences (in this case). Sometimes bands do the latter (as another of your commenters mentioned). We'd have to ask the authors to be sure. Great job as usual. Looking forward to more!
I think you're going to enjoy dipping your toe into the Japanese rock/metal scene. It is surprisingly deep and varied with pretty much every sub-genre of music imaginable. I'll give some suggestions from various genres: Asian Kung-fu Generation "Re-write" (90's style alternative rock with a Weezer vibe) Scandal "Awanai Tsumori no Genkide ne" (garage rock/alternative rock) Wagakki Band "Senbonzakura" (folk rock/metal meshing traditional Japanese instruments with modern electric instruments) Maximum the Hormone "What's Up People" (nu-metal reminiscent of bands like Korn) Soko ni Naru "Tenohira de Odoru" (very proggy rock; they're really doing their own thing) Polkadot Stingray "Telecaster Stripe" (indie rock) Unlucky Morpheus "Black Pentagram" (power metal) Ningen Isu "Heartless Scat" (80's style metal) One OK Rock "The Beginning" (kind of a mix between metal and emo) That's just a primer, and there are literally dozens of other bands in different genres I could recommend.
@@saldiven2009 You’re 100% on that one. It’s been a lot of fun! By the way, you were right in one of your old comments about Band-Maid’s “Onset” ending. Not sure if you remember. All the tappings that Kanami did in her solo. Great song!
@@mr.sorenzo Oh, yeah. BTW, I edited my comment, so might want to re-read it. Regarding Onset, I was one of about 800 folks who got to hear the song the first time it was performed live before it was released on a CD. It was at the Nagoya Diamond Hall show in Spring of 2018, the first of a short three-show tour in Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo. The music video was recorded at the third show in Tokyo at one of the Zepp locations, can't remember which (Zepp is kind of a chain of related concert venues in various cities in Japan). At that point, Band-Maid had never done an instrumental. So, when the band started playing with Saiki off the stage, there was a lot of confusion with the crowd wondering what was going on, but the song got a great reception. They've been doing an instrumental every year or so ever since then.
Hello Mr I like Trident! May I request a another great Japanese trio.They name is Sokoninaru... check them if you have time for that, They are impressive
@@Olkam-w5u which is great btw. I just hope they get the grammar and the use of vocab right. Because It’s so easy to kill a super good song and I know how much effort has gone into it
@@mr.sorenzo It's more difficult with phonetics. I notice it less, because both English and Japanese are foreign languages for me. It's interesting that you liked Trident, I would never have thought.
@@mr.sorenzo I'm rarely a fan of just one thing. I just have a list of bands that I listen to periodically. I like Trident for its light and cheerful songs.

@@Oedwak thanks heaps for the insight and the kind words! It’s the first time I’m hearing about English being used as such.
More vids to come!

Wagakki Band "Senbonzakura" (folk rock/metal meshing traditional Japanese instruments with modern electric instruments)
Maximum the Hormone "What's Up People" (nu-metal reminiscent of bands like Korn)
Soko ni Naru "Tenohira de Odoru" (very proggy rock; they're really doing their own thing)
Polkadot Stingray "Telecaster Stripe" (indie rock)
Unlucky Morpheus "Black Pentagram" (power metal)
Ningen Isu "Heartless Scat" (80's style metal)
One OK Rock "The Beginning" (kind of a mix between metal and emo)
That's just a primer, and there are literally dozens of other bands in different genres I could recommend.

You need to take a look@ INFLUENCER by Band Maid… Just Saying (If you not really into rap😁)
@@MnPofBM haven’t listened to that one yet. Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll check it out
I won't say why in this song, but sometimes Japanese bands put a verse in English so that foreign fans can sing along.

@@Olkam-w5u That’s a fair call.
Lol I liked this song a lot actually. Just not the rapping bit.
Do you listen to Trident much?
