Yuki - Fugainaiya (Honey and Clover II OP Theme)

Yuki - Fugainaiya (25.1MB, for PSP/Quicktime)

I can just imagine the ad that Yuki placed to obtain the extras in this PV: Wanted - Gaijins who are willing to dress up as maid, lamp, table, and portrait while screaming 'fugainaiya-iya'. That said, the PV is actually kind of amusing and a lot better than the one that was used for Dramatic. I personally prefer to see weird PVs like this one instead of the ones that bore me to tears. It's clear that lots of money were poured into the PV. The costume itself probably eats a quarter of the budget and then there is the actual maze which looks awesome. Also, make sure you don't miss the part where Yuki goes batshit insane and starts beating that stuffed cat. It's a sight to behold!! XD Overall, this is a fun PV that does represent Honey and Clover series really well. The full lyric is now available for those who want it.

Kanji/Kana version

私が生まれた朝の街　雪の中に埋もれた
それはそれは小さい手で　青空を仰いだ
さながら　昔からよく知る　となりの　あの頃のように
片方の耳たぶで聴く　卒業のカノン

一人でも　大丈夫よって　めくれてる　私のストーリー
誰かのせいにしたいよ　つらいな。いや。嫌。

右利きの　おりこうさんには　雨上がりを　あげよう
手作りの　ファーチュンクッキー　食べながら　でかけよう
かなしくって　泣いてばっかりいたら　芽が説けて無くなった
秋になり　また　冬になり　ひとつ年をとった

遠くまでにげているつもりでも　終わりない　君のストーリー
にやにや　笑っている　ふがいないや。いや。
すがりながら　追いかけてみても　あしげにされても
空いた穴を　埋めよう　ちがいないや。いや。

かさねあう　もたれあう　すててしまうんだ　もうすぐ
消えてしまう　愛しい人も　優しい日々よ　もうすぐ

私が生まれた朝の街　雪の中に埋もれた
それはそれは小さい手で　青空を仰いだ

遠くまで　逃げているつもりで　終わらない　君のストーリー
にやに　や笑ってる　ふがいないや。いや
すがりながら　追いかけてみても　あしげにされても
空いた穴を　ふさごう　ちがいないや。いや。

ふがいないや。いや。
つらいなあ。嫌。嫌。

Romaji version

Watashi ga umareta asa no machi yuki no naka ni umoreta
Sore wa sore wa chiisai te de aozora wo aoi da
Sanagara mukashi kara yoku shiru tonari no ano koro no you ni
Katahou no mimitabu de kiku sotsugyou no canon

Hitori demo daijoubu-tte mekureteru watashi no story
Dare ka no sei ni shitai yo tsuraina. Iya. Iya.

Migikiki no orikou-san ni ameagari wo ageyou
Tedzukuri no fortune cookie tabenagara dekakeyou
Kanashiku-tte naite bakkari itara me ga tokute nakunatta
Aki ni nari mata fuyu ni nari hitotsu toshi wo totta

Tooku made nigeteiru tsumori demo owaranai kimi no story
Niya-niya waratteiru fugainaiya. Iya.
Sugarinagaru oikakete mite mo ashige ni sarete mo
Aita ana wo uzumeyou chigainaiya. Iya.

Kasaneau, motoreau, sutete shimaunda mou sugu
Kiete shimau itoshii hito mo yasashii hibi yo mou sugu

Watashi ga umareta asa no machi yuki no naka ni umoreta
Sore wa sore wa chiisai te de aozora wo aoi da

Tooku made nigeteiru tsumori demo owaranai kimi no story
Niya-niya waratteiru fugainaiya. Iya.
Sugarinagaru oikakete mite mo ashige ni sarete mo
Aita ana wo fusagou chigainaiya. Iya.

Fugainaiya. Iya.
Tsuraina. Iya. Iya.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who got a little... confused.. by the music video. And how would you say it represents H&C? In how it's very artistic, or that it's just... out there? I've always had problems figuring out how people 'got' that sort of thing, at least from this...

Well, the PV contains elements from the series such as the poodle, the teddy bear and few others which I should not say because they will appear in later episodes if the anime follow the manga closely.

Somehow it reminds me of the transformed characters in Sleeping Beauty. Cute though!

I can't wait 'til you summarize Ouran 15! It looks hilarious!

this pv reminds me of what're you waiting for by gwen stefani LOL

The screenshots reminded me of Disney's version of "Beauty and the Beast" but it might really reference a couple of fairy tales. The animal pyramid for example is definitely a reference to the "Bremen Town Musicians". The girl in the bunny-esque suit could be another reference to "Alice in Wonderland". The latter seems to be popular by story writers (Ergo Proxy, Ouran).

Although I've never seen this PV, the screenshots of this reminds me of Gwen Stefani's "What are you waiting for" music video, perhaps that is where Yuki got her inspiration for the video from.

I LOVE such clips, as I loved Gwen Stefani's similar labyrinthine clip. It's so beautiful AND artistic! Plus, I also started liking the song! I can't get enough of Hachikuro! O_O

Weird enough for a PV (^^;)
Very unique in that sense.

I might as well get the song (a sample, no less) and listen to it :) The PV looks interestingly artistic from what I've seen here :)

Yeah, reminds me of Beauty and the Beast too...
Notice theres a gwen steffani thing here too cuz theres all americans and no Japanese xD
(gwen does the opposite)

Thanks a lot for the video, Garten =)

The video itself is pretty dumb in my opinion, but that's a great song, i love it!

ps: The maid is hot.

I gave birth in the morning in a town covered in snow
That is that - Those tiny hands could look up to the blue sky
Just like in the old days, it was good to know who the daughter next door was
Out of my ear I could hear the graduation canon

Although it's okay to be alone, they turned the pages and it's now my life story
It's someone else's fault there is a corpse!
It's so painful!! I hate it!

The right-handed weaver raised the price after the rain
For those handmade fortune cookies We'd go out to eat the patterns
It's so sad to cry only to have what sprouts melt into nothing when
Autumn comes, and then winter came
And you only grew one year

I try to run far away but your story never ends
Grinning like you'd laugh. It's so cowardly! I hate it!
I'll chase you until I grab you. I'll kick you if I have to!
So this hole will stay empty. I can't do it! No mistake.. I hate it!

Very soon I
have to not rely
on superposition
You eventually have to
disappear too, my lovely
Just like the gentle sun goes to sleep
too

I gave birth in the morning in a town covered in snow
That was that - the tiny hands could look up to the blue sky

I try to run far away but your story never ends
Grinning like you'd laugh. It's so cowardly! I hate it!

I'll chase you until I grab you. I'll kick you if I have to!
So this hole will stay empty. Just a bit of pride. No mistake.. I hate it!!
It's so cowardly! I hate it!

It's Heartbreaking! I HATE IT!

Hadn't Yuki (and Judy and Mary before it -- it started at the same time as No Doubt) did this crazy stuff way before Gwen Stefani started to do it? That and G.S's obsession with Harajuku seems to indicate the opposite direction for "image flow", don't you think?

Then again, I may be mistaken...

Actually, *I* translated the song but it's all cool (the original post is linked), I have some more yuki songs here: http://theydontloveyou.livejournal.com/tag/yuki

The translation is actually wrong however if it makes sense to you, nice I guess? :P
