my name's WOMEN romanization attempt

[_CREA_]

This probably needs heavy fixing. ._. I only did it by ear (and from the fuzzy CM clip no less), and I don't understand much Japanese so I don't know how much it makes sense, but a lot of it at least seems not to...I don't know. Read it through and correct as necessary. Maybe we can get a rough translation of the clip...and maybe shed some light on the meaning of the title.

Anyway, here's my attempt:


kantan ni wara karaishi
amaete makari demo nai
watashitachi kiga datta
darake no iingyou dan ka
tadai zora

mono ito to karatte arushi...

[Hazard]

Umm, this is what I hear:

kantan ni tara kara ichi
amae te bakari demo nai
watashitachi kitta katta dake no ingyou nanka
kanai tara

mounidoto datte aushi

[jerms]

hah sorry, but i'm with hazard

[Hazard]

So, can anyone shed any light on what this could mean?
What I can make out doesn't seem to make mcuh sense. *sweatdrop*

stupid japanese wannabes

jk lol

Yeah, that's definitely more accurate...I stink with romaji without the kanji and such in front of me. Thanks.

Are you referring to me? If so, I am part Japanese. I'm just a rookie with the language.

I know you're just kidding, but still. (I'm 15 years old, cut me some slack here. )

And some things are so hard to translate without the kanji.

Exactly.

[Corybobory]

Mmm, fun to speculate... this is what I see *cough*

kantan ni wa kara ichi
simple...particals ni wa... because... one

amaete bakari demo nai
...-te form of verb 'to fawn over' (command)...'always doing'... but... negation


watashitachi kitta katta dake no ingyou nan ka
We... listened... drew... just...possesive... no idea... what... question particle...

kanai tara
woah... babelfish suggested 'serving cod'... :S


No! I'm horrible!

the last part, I hear "...dakedo ningyou nanka ja naikara" meaning [I'm not a doll]

That would make sense, given the title...hmm...

[extepan]

That's cool, that's how I've learned a lot too.

Do you watch any Japanese shows, though? Hey! Hey! Hey! seriously taught me how to read hiragana, because they put words on the screen, and lyrics when singers perform. Quite handy.

Ah, off-topic, sorry!

I'll have to dictionary my way through trying to translate bits of the potential romaji, although I still love what clover1215 picked up on.

she may not be a doll, but she admits to being a product

[Ibitsu Kokoro]

lol people say ayu looks like a doll.

[Vinylfantasy]

People shouldn't call her the Japanese Britney Spears, she is definitely more like a Japanese Barbie...

dont understand what you mean by product?

[Corybobory]

Hm lets see... by product I think we mean like a commodity. Like she's a material item to be bought. Did I get that right?

[Kazuko]

hahah yay!! i picked up some japanese too =D lol XD

[CREATE]

...I can only speculate...
