1:39 When the other two heard him say, "I'm Suzuki Kiyomi," they all lost their composure. "Suzuki Kiyomi" is the older sister of Suzuki Masayuki, who is also famous as a proud soul singer in Japan.😊 Naturally, she has known the band members since childhood, and released a duet with Suzuki Masayuki called "Lonely Chaplin" in the 80s, which is still regularly ranked among the top karaoke duets today.😌 And my favorite song by Masayuki Suzuki is "Yume de Aetara (If I could meet you in my dreams)" ✨🕶
I think this song was made for a commercial for eyeshadow or some kind of women's cosmetics at 40 years ago.😊That's why at the end of the chorus, "MEH!"(which means eye in Japanese) and point at his eye 😉 Rats & Star (Did you notice? It's a palindrome 🤭), led by Masayuki Suzuki, is a vocal group that specializes in American soul music, especially doo-wop, which was popular in the 1950s 😌 After the war, there was a group in Japan called The King Tones, who were also called the original Japanese doo-wop and spread doo-wop in Japan, and the Chanels (the predecessor to Rats & Star) were said to be their successors. Nowadays, they are often accused of cultural appropriation, but they originally sang with their skin painted black to show their pure admiration and respect for black music. If you actually listen to the song, you will understand what a deep expression of love it was 🤗 Watch "The Chanels / Runaway" on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/noBcbcg9rQk/v-deo.htmlsi=GYElWrpfPy8KgLYu
What does "MEH!" mean? As I have explained in other comments, this song was created as a commercial song for a summer campaign for women's eye shadow and other cosmetics at the time.🌴☀🥵 And "MEH" means eyes in Japanese, and because this is an eyeshadow commercial, he is pointing at his eyes to emphasize it 😁 The title "MEGUMI" originally came from the name of a firefighting team that was established in a Japanese city in the 17th and 18th centuries. "GUMI" (or "KUMI") means team, and the team name was derived from the Japanese alphabet "hiragana." I think Japanese people know it from TV dramas called jidaigeki, so they named it "MEH" group of women, which means eyes.🤔Also, since "MEGUMI" has the same pronunciation as "megumi" (blessing), I think she is also saying, "You are a wonderful woman who is a blessing to me!" 👀😄 P.S."MEH" is one sound and can also represent a woman.The man is "O" 🤭
