#10 Lesson with a song - "Superstar" by Tokyo Incident (2)

This is a second lesson based on a song "Superstar" by Tokyo Incident.
I recommend you to listen to the lesson #9 first, if you haven't.


Ringo, the vocal of Tokyo Incident, who also writes lyrics of all her songs, stated with the release of this song "Superstar" that she is an admirer of Ichiro and the song is inspired by him.



In this lesson, I am focusing on the second verse (from 1:50- )
Following is the lyric of this part.

<Roma ji>
Kotae wa mugendai sa
Jibun de tsukutte iku
Kareyuku ha ga aikawarazu
Jimen o mamotte iru
Sonna daichi kette aruiteha
Koe o sagasuno

-------(interruption) ----------

Ashita wa anata wo moyasu honou ni
mukiau kokoro ga hoshii yo
Moshimo aeta toki wa hokoreru youni
Terebi no naka no anata
Watashi no superstar

<Hiragana>
こたえは　むげんだいさ
じぶんで　つくっていく
かれゆく　はが　あいかわらず　じめんを　まもっている
そんな　だいち　けって　あるいては
こえを　さがすの

-------(interruption) ----------

あしたは　あなたを　もやす　ほのおに
むきあう　こころ　が　ほしいよ

もしも　あえたときは　ほこれる　ように
テレビの　なかの　あなた
わたしの　スーパースター


Key Words

Kotae  答え　answer
Mugendai　無限大 Infinite
Jibunde　自分で　by oneself
Kareyuku ha  枯れゆく葉 dying leaves
Aikawarazu 相変わらず　 as ever
Jimen o mamoru 地面を守る　Protect the ground
Daichi　大地 ground, earth
Kette aruku　蹴って歩く　Kicking and walking　
Koe o sagasu　声をさがす looking for one's voice
Moyasu 燃やす to burn
Honoo　炎 flame
Mukiau　向き合う　to face
Kokoro 心　Spirit, heart
Hokoreru　誇れる　can be proud (of oneself)

Please visit my podcast on "LISTEN" - Moving the platform and restarting!

 Hi, dear listners. It's been long time. I am restarting my Japanese Language podcast in the new platform "LISTEN" https://listen.style/ I strongly recommend this new podcast platform for all Japanese language leaners. This service offers AI powered transcription. As well as the translation to other languages (if the creater chose to translate). This is a combination of podcast, blog and SNS. It is easier to link to various other platform (such as youtube and other web pages), and communicate with other cleators using trackback functions. I am indeed impressed with this platform and I would like to communicate with Japanese language learners using this service. Let me recommend you (Japanese language learners) to create your own podcast style diary, in Japanese language, and let me know your site. I will visit your site, listen to what you recorded and will leave comments!

#5 Ichiro's retirement press conference (1)

Recently, I am always looking for interesting/attractive video clips to introduce to you. And I was very happy when I found this one! I would like to recommend this video clips to everyone in the world, regardless if you like baseball or not. Many people (especially Japanese and Americans) would agree that Ichiro is the one of the greatest baseball players, and you would know why after you watch this video! His sincere attitude towards baseball inspired many people who are trying to grow and improve oneself, or people who are struggling in difficulties and challenges in lives, in many other area. Ichiro speaks clearly and slowly, that is another reason why I would like to recommend this video to Japanese language learners. This interview was done on 21 March 2019, on the day of his retirement. Ichiro was 45 years old. As the original video clip is very long (1h 24min.), and there are many points I would like to focus on, I will focus on some selected parts at a time, and cont...
