Aruiteru totally gets a new meaning, yeah. I hope the song gives Hitomi a new batch of strength everytime they sing it. There's a long tour ahead, and the song will probably be in the setlist. I totally support the idea of the crowd solidarity using the white penlights.

Well, it's the "farewell" song of the concert, with all of Wonderful Hearts singing..

Walk on, Yossie!

Wow if there was ever a concert I wish I could attend it would be this one. The power of emotion flowing through Yossie and the other girls would be amazing. Yossie is my hero. Performing at a concert so soon after this type of loss is strength incarnate.

I´m so proud of Yossie. I´ll send my best wishes from here

Why white though? Isn't her color Yellow or something? Or is it just white because of her brother.

Yellow is Makoto's color. Hitomi's purple. And the white is for its mystic pure meaning.

Yeah, true. But I have a feeling it'll come out somehow through Yossie herself. Wota will be chanting, that's for sure.

And speaking of Aruiteru, you don't happen to have Yossie's comments about the song? It's pretty old but someone posted it yesterday on 2ch and I didn't save it. I guess it has a whole new meaning now.

found it >"<

～歩いてるについて～

当然のように続く日常、
そしてもしかしたら突然、
そして当然のようにやってくるかもしれない
ひとりぼっちの世界。
それは当然のむくいなのかもしれない。

そしてそれは自分にはどうすることもできず、
きちんとした考えを持って、
明日にいかすこともできず、
また当然のように明日を迎え、
楽しくやってゆく。

そんな時　自分を必要としてくれる人が
そばにいることを幸わせだと思い、
自分が『モーニング娘。』でいられることを誇りに思う。

そんな　今自分がおかれた状況が当然のことと思えると同時に、
あまりに奇跡的なことにも思える。
そんなことを思った歌です。

モーニング娘。、久しぶりのSINGLE
１１月発売、聞いて下さい。ヨロシク。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　吉澤ひとみ

^Translation please?
And I think it is completely amazing that Yoshizawa will go on with the concert. She really is a great leader to be working through this and planning on attending a concert. My respect and admiration for her has just shot up.

Gblue · « **Reply #371 on:** January 13, 2007, 08:34:10 PM »

good for her. if performing in the concert will help her pass through this and help restore life to 'normality' for her, then i'm very glad to hear it.

^ translation... of sorts = = (please help!)

about aruiteru~

living an ordinary life matter of factly
in a world of one's own
one may suddenly do something (?)
which may just as well be its (?) effect (?)

staying true to one's beliefs when one does not know what to do
when one does not know if one will still be alive the next day
and because of this, one should face the new day and live on with happiness
matter of factly

at times like this, there is a great feeling of happiness if one is needed
i feel very honoured to be a member of MM

when one thinks about one's situation (im sure this is not right >"<)
one also thinks of miracles
this is such a song.

(and then she goes on about the new single being released,
and asks for everyone's support)

Blu-Cherri · « **Reply #373 on:** January 13, 2007, 08:50:34 PM »

^wow...and she said that before the single came out...
I can see why this is the song they chose to have the white-lights for.

Thanks for finding it, anon!

I hope you don't mind me if I use some of your interpretations.

Quote from: Yoshizawa Hitomi

~Concerning Aruiteru~

When spending an ordinary day naturally,
unexpected things might by some chance occur,
as natural as spending a day,
a world where you'll be all alone might appear.
That could be nature's way of punishing for all I know.

As for the things you can do,
stay true to your beliefs,
make full use of tomorrow,
and meet the new day like you would with any day,
live on with happiness.

At times like this, there is a great feeling of happiness if one is needed
I feel very honored to be a member of Morning Musume

When leaving the past behind it appears to be something natural,
and at the same time it feels like something miraculous.
That's what I feel about this song.

Gah, Yossie...

^ Thanks for the interpretations, Ayabie.

And I just have to say wow. I always knew Yossie was strong, but the fact that she's going on really is amazing. She's such a brave and amazing person-- I think we're all really proud of her.

I think they'll use white because this color carries a lot of symbolism. For some asian countries white represents death. Almost the same way it's black for us.
But it's gonna be a beautiful thing to see...I'll be glad if they do this, Yossie deserves it!

I really hope for a fancam or a audio recording for this concert.

There is this Sanspo article that has a detailed description of the accident http://www.sanspo.com/geino/top/gt200701/gt2007011400.html
And Hana from mm-bbs translated it here http://www.mm-bbs.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=777&view=findpost&p=22429

I just want to quote one line from Hana's translation

Quote

Yoshizawa has decided to overcome the unforseen death of her beloved little brother and appear at the concerts in Osaka on the 14th. While keeping memories of Kouta close to her heart, she will sing and dance so that he can see from heaven.

haidokun · « **Reply #379 on:** January 14, 2007, 04:45:19 AM »

ghod, this is so depressing.... :ONdepressed:

i just saw the news. i really thought that it was just a bad rumor. :ONgrr:
but, it turns out to be true. so tragic, i wish i could be at the concert too and wave that white pen light. :ONcry:

and you know what's freaked me out? it is our cultural belief that when a dog howled during the night, especially midnight! it means death. well, apparently our dog howled two nights ago. talk about coincidence. :ONscared:

i'll pray for Kouta's soul too! :ONprayers:

be strong, yossie!!! :ONcool1:
