Their song are all great!! And their lyrics are interesting too, recommending “Shukumei”, “Universe” and “115 Million Kilometer Film”. Looking forward to more reaction video
If you like the mixer part of Pretender, I think you would like their “Tell Me Baby” and “No Doubt” too, both are using many mixers in arrangement and sound cool.
Official Hige Dandism has a hit song called "Stand By You". Soon after releasing this song, they distributed two music videos, the original version and the acoustic version. Why not listen to them and compare them? Original version music video --- th-cam.com/video/22mOCjkwQjM/w-d-xo.html Acoustic version music video --- th-cam.com/video/1oYzKnVG1Vk/w-d-xo.html I can't decide which one is better because both are great. Which do you prefer? And there's one more song that I've listened to so far by Higedan that I feel is the most "them!" and "really good!". It's a song that seems to be packed with all their goodness, and the song's title is "I LOVE..." Music video --- th-cam.com/video/bt8wNQJaKAk/w-d-xo.html I'm sure you're thinking about various video distribution schedules, so the opportunity to fulfill my request can be any time, even in the future. If you don't mind, please listen to these and let me know what you think. I'm looking forward to it. 🤗
To talk more about their band name, Official髭男dism (髭男higedan= bearded man）😂 Is a weird name but has a lovely meaning that even though the band members are old enough to grow a beard, they can still make exciting music together.
It's a little difficult for people who are not familiar with Japanese and can speak English to pronounce "Official髭男dism / Official Hige Dandism" correctly. The band name is a coined word that they themselves made up, and it's a pun-like name that mixes English and Japanese. "Official" + "髭 / ひげ" + "男 / だん" + "dism" "髭 / ひげ / Hige" is not pronounced "hάɪdʒ" but "ひげ = hige". "髭 / Hige" refers to the hair around your chin and mouth. It’s beard. 🥸😂 As you probably know, "Dandism" is a word that ideologically represents the coolness of men and their cool lifestyle. And since dandy men often have beards that suit them well, they expressed it as "髭男 / ひげだん＝Hige-Dan". The group name is a little long, so many people shorten it to "Hige-Dan," and I find myself wanting to say "Hige-Dan" too. Apparently, they chose this name to express their desire to be men who people around them would think of as "dandy" when they get older. 🤗 It's always a topic of conversation, but none of the members of "Official Hige Dandism" have beards, so many people wonder why they chose that band name. And the members of King Gnu, a band that became popular around the same time, have beards, so people say, "They're the ones who are perfect for Higedan!" 😂😊👍🏻
In Japan, before becoming a couple, it is common for either the man or the woman to ask the other out. This is an act of declaring and asking the other for permission to build a relationship. And this is a phenomenon called "love confession" in Japan. At that time, one of them will politely say to the other, "I'm in love with you. Would you be my boyfriend / girlfriend?" or "I love you. I'd like to be with you." And if the other person replies yes, you can say that the two of you became a couple from that day. I think it's fair to say that this behavior starts when people reach their teens. The other day, there was a topic about how foreigners from several countries think this Japanese custom is strange. In the countries where you have lived, when someone is dating the person they love, do they "confess" or give some kind of signal? 🙄🤔 Do you find Japanese "love confessions" strange? 🙄🤔 When you say a "confession of love," and when the other person says it to you, your heart beats so hard that it feels like it's going to explode. And when it works out, the excitement is so strong that it's hard to put into words, and it's an emotional and ecstatic feeling. As time passes and I think back, even if love goes well, or even if you end up heartbroken, those moments of excitement are the best feeling. In Official Hige Dandism's "Pretender," the protagonist feels love for the other person, but he finds out that the other person loves someone else. I think that even though the protagonist and girlfriend understand that they are close enough to be friends and can call each other "best friends," the reality is that they cannot become "lovers." And I think that the only one who wants to become lovers is the protagonist. When I think about that, it's sad. What saves me from my sadness in this story is that even if she doesn't become the protagonist's lover, the protagonist continues to believe that she will always be the same and beautiful. Even if not everyone can achieve the happiness they envision, I believe that recognizing the value of others and wishing them happiness is an important sincerity for everyone. Do you think the main character was able to fully commit to being a "Pretender"? Or do you think he was defeated along the way and was unable to become a "Pretender"? 🙄🤔😁💕 I like this song. I was glad that you gave an interesting commentary and reaction to this song. Thank you very much.😊
In my country, if a girl agrees to go on a date with a guy, then this is already a signal that she does not mind being in a relationship with this guy. and if this date goes well, then they can become a couple. it happens by itself, no one says “I like you, let’s be a couple.” 🙂 If I liked a girl, but I understood that we could only be friends with her, then I would not pretend to be her friend and would let her go.
@@squeakychairchannel I agree with what you said, "I understood that we could only be friends with her, then I would not pretend to be her friend and would let her go." However, the emotional pull that makes us love someone cannot be stopped, even by ourselves. No matter how hard we try, we cannot easily hate someone we fall in love with, so everyone experiences pain, to a greater or lesser extent, at times. No matter where people are from, the process of building a relationship may be slightly different, but I think the feelings of love and pain are the same. 😊❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤟🏻
好きなら言えばいいじゃんが当たり前の欧米人の文化には、悲哀とか偲ぶ愛とか微妙な恋愛描写を理解できない人は多いからＹＥＳ or ＮＯではっきりさせようとする文化が多数派の欧米人には日本人みたいには理解できない人多いだろうな..........世界最古の恋愛小説として１０００年前から源氏物語生み出すような心境、恋愛描写書き綴るような事してたからな..........小難しいだよ何にしても日本人はｗ
Interesting song, it's deceiving because of the pop sound. But the title does say "pretender." I noticed that young generation doesn't seem to express their actual emotion. They want to make everything blur instead of obvious crash (not crush). I get the feeling that this person in the song haven't stepped into actual "love relationship" with the girl he likes, just yet. Because I see some distance between the two from what was said in the lyric, like him touching her hair, and only that was painful enough for him, means he could never get any close to her than that? On top of that, the guy already know it's not gonna work with her, and he doesn't even want to do something about it. He rather give up! Not sure who is pretender.. the guy who wants the girl but don't want to writhe in the fact that he's not the one for her? or the girl who has someone in her heart but won't admit it and willing to continue on flirting with different guy? Maybe both. SO here's my guess. This song could be about a guy who is just looking from distance at a girl who has crush on somebody else. 🤔
Very confusing and difficult 😩😅 I try to stay away from girls who make my life difficult😁 This song is beautiful musically and its lyrics are very cool 👍
相手の女性の事が好きだからこそ手放す男性の心の葛藤が伝わりますね🤗
曲調とハイトーンボイスがとても素敵です✨
あなたはこの曲の本質を非常に正確に表現してくれました👍私も同じことをするのに12分かかりました🤭😅
私は「友達以上恋人未満」というような曖昧な関係から抜け出せなかった切なさ、もどかしい思いを語った歌かなーと解釈していました。友人としての親しい関係は充実しているけれど、恋愛の関係としてもう一歩進める勇気が出せなかった、という感じかな？と（合っているかわからないですけど😅）
爽やかさを感じるメロディーにボーカルの持つ切なさが加わり、そのギャップが心地よく気持ちに響きますね。
ところで、アレックスさんがビデオをストップして分析したり解釈を深めているシーンも私は楽しんでいますよ～🥰
この曲についてのあなたの詳細な分析が本当に好きです☺️👍
多くの視聴者は、TH-camr が動画の視聴中に頻繁に一時停止を押すのを好まないので、一時停止を気にせず、私のコメントを気に入っていただけてとてもうれしく思います。🤗❤️
アレックスさん、こんにちは😃
多分この曲は、好きな女性に自分の気持ちを伝えられない男性の歌です😅
多くの日本人男性が経験するので、とても人気があったんだと思います😊ミュージックビデオの最後に彼が彼女の手を引いて屋上に連れ出したのは、彼なりの精一杯の勇気だと思います❤もしも『好きです』と伝えてしまって2人の関係が崩れてしまうなら、このままでいい。という人達が多いんですよ😊彼等は『始まって』ないんです😢
こんにちは🤗
感情や人間関係は非常に複雑で混乱することがあります 😣
アレックスは、関係におけるすべてがシンプルで明確であることを好みます 😁👍
@@squeakychairchannel
日本人男性は『草食系男子』と言われますから(*´艸`)
私は、好きな人には好きと伝えてくれる人の方がいいです🥰
『草食系男子』という表現は初めて聞きました😄
黙っているよりは話した方が良いです👍
@@squeakychairchannel
『草食系男子』→積極的ではない男子
『肉食系男子』→積極的な男子
『ロールキャベツ系男子』→パッと見は草食系男子のように無害に感じるが、実は2人きりになった途端に豹変する肉食系男子の事。
など、色んな言い方があります😂
今日はあなたからとてもたくさんの興味深いことを学びました🤭😂
『ロールキャベツ系男子』🤣👍
この曲は片想いの男性の気持を歌っていると思います
彼女の事が好きだけど、自分は彼女に相応しくないことが分かって、苦しんでいる男性の気持を表していると思います
報われない愛に苦しむことは、怪我に苦しむよりもずっと強いです😔💔
僕はこの曲は片思いの曲だと思って聴いています。
友達達とみんなで遊ぶことはあっても 彼女と2人でデートするような関係じゃない
彼は彼女が好きだけど、どうやら自分は彼女の好きなタイプではないらしい事を知っていて、今 好きだと伝えて付き合えたとしても長くは続かないだろう。
もしもっと前に出会っていたら？もし違うタイミングで出会っていたら？もしかしたら自分の事を好きになってくれたかもしれない
でも現実は違うから、そんな事を考えてもしょうがないよな･･･っていう切ない歌
人間関係や感情は混乱し、複雑になることがあります。
っていう切ない歌 🥺
好きな曲です❤
あなたは音楽のセンスが良いですね😉
もう5年前かよ…恐ろしいね…
時間はとても早く過ぎます😔
言葉の壁なのか文化の違いなのか解釈が全く違う
恋人では無くて友達だが恋人にしたいと思っているが
自分は彼女に相応しく無いのでは？と悩んでいる
そういう歌です
好きになった相手と友達であり続けるのはとても難しいことです。これはある意味、マゾヒズムに少し似ています 😅 自分の気持ちを告白するか、離れる必要があります。
Their song are all great!! And their lyrics are interesting too, recommending “Shukumei”, “Universe” and “115 Million Kilometer Film”. Looking forward to more reaction video

Thank you for your recommendations 🤝 I’ll definitely listen to these songs ☺️👍
Thanks, I'll definitely check it out 🤗
🇯🇵🤝🇹🇼
彼等は日本人。撮影地は台湾。日本が困難にある時、いつも助けてくれる台湾。本意は分からないが、台湾への感謝の気持ちがあったのでは？日本台湾融合の最高の作品となった👏
これは日本人だけの感情なのかな？
この男女は親友同士、今の関係が崩れるのが怖くて好きと言えない
感情を歌っている
海外ではこうゆう気持ちないのかなぁ
親友同士でも好きになったら好きだ！と言えてしまう文化？なのかもしれないね
日本人ならあるあるなんだけど、、ね
私の文化では、男性と女性の間に真の友情は存在し得ないと信じられています。この友情は遅かれ早かれこの曲の内容に変わるでしょう。
しかし、私たちの世界は広大で、その中では何でも可能だと信じています。 🙂
この歌詞の意味は私も全く同じ考えです！そしてとても日本人らしい表現なのかもしれませんね😊！
歌詞メロディーともにとても美しく完璧だと私は思っています✨久しぶりに聴いてみて、やっぱり完璧で名曲だと思いました🫶
最後のピアノのリフがたまらなく好きです🩵😊

私はこの曲は既に付き合っている恋人との歌だと思います。
好きだけど、この先ずっと一緒にはいられないことがわかっている。
気持ちに温度差があったり、自分は浮気相手だったり😂
幸せな未来が見えないけど離れられないのではないでしょうか。
その関係に未来がないのであれば、自分自身を克服して別れるべきです。他に方法はありません🙂
