I wasn't offended or anything, it was just a really bad generalization of 2ch.

2ch =/= 2chan =/= 4chan. They're all very different entities. 2chan being the one that's an imageboard. 2ch is mainly text.

2ch is the largest internet bulletin board in the world. (10 million+ unique(?) visitors monthly apparently?) Think of it like AHS on a way bigger scale. There's a lot of junk in there, but it's not like everyone in there is the stereotypical ~net-dweller~. I suppose it's a bit like saying that everyone at AHS is a troll or something because we're all on a forum... Do you know for sure if that's how Japan sees 2ch? Are you sure it's not just your own perception that you're tossing around as "fact"/"what Japan thinks"?

Thanks maikaru! Love the lyrics. Seems like she wrote them as a bit of a punch in the face to people who think she doesn't take her career seriously...

Thanks very much for the translation misa-chan!

The first thing I thought of after reading the lyrics is she's talking about her microphone~

Ayumiko, Misa-chan and maikaru are different people, haha.

Yeah I get the feeling "Microphone" is about the microphone she uses lol... what a cool concept! Thanks maikaru for the translation!

Max_ZZZ · #**305** 23rd March 2010, 08:00 AM

I guess Microphone is some what the "theme song" of the album?

with the message, rock orientation, and as promo song i could see it

PoetGirl · #**306** 23rd March 2010, 08:03 AM

Thanks for the translation, I love these lines:

Change is a wonderful thing,
But it doesn't mean I'll lose myself.
For sure, there's the things until now that are at my roots,
And there's the me who can get through anything from now on.

Reading the lyrics, I didnt feel it was about her Microphone but the song itself contains strong lyrics that NEED to be expressed through a microphone and naming the song Microphone is sort of 'personifying' such an emotion that needs to played out..hence this emotion is like the Microphone, an object that is used to convey to a wider audience..

if u get what i mean

AyUmIXx · #**310** 23rd March 2010, 08:20 AM

that means Ayu won't ever stop singing in her entire life~

oji-i-san · #**311** 23rd March 2010, 08:20 AM

Here's my second try

Mine is not affected by maikaru's translation yet
and I want to check how I can improve mine when I have time.

Thanks for your effort, oji-i-san!

Perhaps these two translations should go in the Ayu Chat Room so that they'll be noticed more?

PoetGirl · #**314** 23rd March 2010, 08:22 AM

Thanks oji-i-san!
