Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: OK Boys and Girls if you don't see this crazy stuff in action you probably have no idea that this is all based on two children's games. One called rock paper scissors in the US is actually called Jyankenpon in Japan though this cuter version is used in this song. the other is a game done at school festivals and sports day in which everyone tries to repeat the motions of a person raising flags. One red and white, the colors of the japanese hi no maru national flag. In the performance of the song the girls from Mini Moni wear one white and one red glove and go through the motions of playing the game. The cute affixed word pyon, is the sound a bunny makes when it hops, as well as being just a cute sounding word. Some people me and Taka-pyon included attatch it to names and sentences to sound silly. Mini Moni is made up of the Morning Musume girl's who are the shortest plus Coconuts Musume's Hawaiian born Mika. Romaji To Be Added Romaji By: Brian Stewart |
