This manzai makes me want to give Alice a hug. :( To clear things up- those of you that have watched Miko Miko Spark will wonder what the hell Marisa is doing here. Watch the manzai and if you still don't get it, read the Translator's Notes when you're done. Tewi beasted through this translation overnight and it took me all of 3 hours to subtitle/timing (new record!), so progress is looking good so far. She's going to work on TewiKourin 2 if she's not too tired, which will mean THE 3RD M-1 is DONE! After that, she'll probably take the Nitori/Hina commercial from the 4th M-1 first (easier, less time consuming). After that, due to popular demand we'll be jumping ahead in the lineup and uploading the Komeiji Sister's skit first. Stay tuned and enjoy. Translator's Notes: 0:02 "Bakusetsu no mahou tsukai" - Mahou Tsukai = "Magic Users" or "Magicians". Bakusetsu sounded like "Bakuhatsu" (explosive) or "Bakudan" (bomb) so we went with "Explosive Magic Users". Fits their premises as well. 1:18 "Wide Show" - Name for a type of show in Japan, focusing on variety and comedy. 1:45 "That sky dog" - Momiji Inubashiri. 2:35 "You'll be dropping lots of buckets together" - Kisume is the bucket dropping youkai - tsurube otoshi. 2:39 "You've already fallen, right?" - Euphemism/Marisa is definitely implying something here, figure it out. 3:11 "Is that a Hebel House?!" - A type of house made from Autoclaved Aerated Concrete. The HOMES Corporation Residences use the logo being shown. 3:15 "Too ...
How do you make this song a reality? To be sure, singing songs about peace will not bring peace. But reading about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, visiting the conflict area and talking to the people on the ground are concrete steps that can make a difference. In this song, Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian singers and musicians joined together to perform the Hebrew-Arabic song "Hevenu Shalom Aleinu" (We Brought Peace Upon Us) - "Ma Ana Ajmal Min Salam" (There is Nothing More Beautiful Than Peace). Sung in both Hebrew and Arabic, this Middle Eastern, Sepharadic-style, jazzy and inspiring song challenges us to rise above the propaganda, renounce hatred, supremacy, violence, and terrorism, and "rock the boat" until Israelis and Palestinians understand there is only one path to security and peace, and that is through sharing the land and upholding the human rights of all inhabitants of the Holy Land. This song is dedicated to the thousands of ordinary people around the world, including many Jews, who are helping to promote human rights, equality and justice. Thank you for listening!
