Special post in collaboration with my other blog, "Rockin in Japan", where I discuss and review Japanese, punk, rock, and metal bands! (Yes, I'm collaborating with myself, haha.)

It's very related to this blog, as it's a translation about Maximum the Hormone. More specifically, MTH's lead singer recommends his favorite punk bands in their staff's official blog, and I translated it for your enjoyment.

Here is my blog:
http://thrashjapan.blogspot.jp/

And the post:
http://thrashjapan.blogspot.jp/2013/09/japcore-recommendations-by-maximum.html

The recommended bands are a bit different from MTH's style, but are definitely an essential influence on the band, and Japanese punk is world-class stuff. I highly recommend you check them out.

A L I E N (え・い・り・あ・ん) lyrics translation 歌詞英訳

Another song from the new album!

The lyrics in this song... I have no idea what is going on. What does it mean?? Anyone?? Help??

The translation is below. Great song. UPDATE: Spoken part of the video also translated, added below.

Here is the official video, but since it's uploaded to an unofficial account, it does risk getting taken down.

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

*Translator’s note: Winny was a p2p pirating software like napster that was very popular in Japan but isn’t really used anymore. In an interview, Ryo-kun (who does hate when his music is pirated, I think) was asked why he used such an old reference, he mentioned that he wanted to have a catchy “STOP” phrase where other stuff like “STOP NUKES” could be replaced.

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!! STOP WINNY!

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

And there are plenty of other things we have to say “STOP!” to.
