--------------------------------------------
M: pizzicato five's ugo-ugo lhuga

R: hello mademoiselle

M: hello

R: how do you do

M: how do you do

R: I'm fine thank you
So... what if we tried to
Pretend this is a french class
And translated all the songs
Titles to french?

M: let's do it!

R: ok so... the first song is
"the night is still young"
(seven pm in tokyo)

M: you got it

R: so in french you should say...
"il est sept heures de nuit
A tokyo"

M: il est sept heures... euh..
A tokyo...

R: sept heures de nuit

M: sept heures euh..
Nuit

R: that's it! "de nuit" means
"night" in english

M: mmm

R: sept heures de nuit
A tokyo

M: it means "yoru" in japanese,
Right?

R: precisely!
Repeat after me...
Il est sept heures de nuit
A tokyo

M: il est sept heures euh...
Nuit a tokyo

R: exactly!
Very good mademoiselle
Wonderful!
Okay so...
The second song's
Title is...
Love love show

M: love love show

R: love love show
*some* title we've got here

M: so how do you say this in
English I mean
Japanese I mean
How do you say this in french?

R: this is
Amour amour mon amour

M: amour amour mon amour

R: that's it!
And a good translation it is
Now let's try to give it
Some feeling
Mon amour

M: mon amour

R: that's it.
Try to think of
A godard film
Mon amour mademoiselle
Mon amour

M: mon amour

R: that's it very good!
Ok now
The third song
Is called shiritori

M: yes...

R: the french don't have
An equivalent to
Our shiritori
So we'll have to stick to
The japanese word
Shi-ri-to-ri

M: shi-ri-to-ri

R: yeah...
All you have to do is
Say "ri" with a french accent
And it sounds
Like french...
That's what's good about
French
Shiritori

M: shiritori

R: for instance let's try to
Apply the rule
Say "yakitori"

M: yakitori

R: that's it
If you pronounce
Yakitori that way
It sounds like
You're a french chick
Eating
Yakitori
Ok so
What's the next song?

M: the next song
Is called
Do re mi

R: do re mi
So dore mi it is
Ok so
Shall we try to
Pronounce this
With a french flair
To it?

M: ok

R: for instance "do" goes "du"

M: du

R: du re mi

M: du re mi

R: for example you
Might try to
Sing it
Do re mi

M: du re mi

R: du re mi

M: du re mi

R: du re mi

M: do re mi

R: that's it
Ok so
The fourth
What's the fourth
Song?
It is...

M: the next song is... mmm...
Me japanese boy

R: me japanese boy
Yes it's
Me japanese boy
This in french
Would be something like
Moi garcon japonais

M: moi garcon japonais

R: that's it!
In french
There's a special way women talk
In french
Women go like
Really cute
"moi"

M: moi

R: exactly!
The mouth a little up
Wa! wa!

M: moi

R: you got it!
Moi garcon...

M: moi garcon...

R: there you go!
Garcon like in
Comme des garcons
Moi garcon japonais

M: moi garcon japonais

R: mademoiselle!
That was tres bien
Such a good student

M: thank you very much

R: I mean it!
Ok let's see the last song
The last song
What's it called?

M: let's be adult

R: classy title!
And in french you say
Sois sage (behave, act your age)

M: sois sage

R: sois sage

M: sois sage

R: soyez sage

M: sois sage

R: soyez, soyez
Soyez sage
Let's be adult
Sois sage
Let's be adult
This is
A french imperative
Get adult
Become an adult
That's the meaning

M: I see

R: mademoiselle nomiya
Are you an adult?

M: I suppose I am

R: yeah me too
So what do you think
About later...
