Hey My Friend - Tommy heavenly6 Lyrics & Translation

降り続いた長い雨が上がる
furi tsuzuita negai ame ga agaru
The long continuous rain stops
I have waited longtime… yeah
苛立ちを隠して
iradachi wo kakushite
I hide my irritation

今日も鈍い頭痛のように響く
kyou mo nibui zutsu no you ni hibiku
Today it echoes like a dull headache
Noisy sound out of my head phone
ベッドに投げ付けて
beddo ni nagetsukete
I throw myself into bed

引きずるように歩き出す明日へと
hikizuru you ni arukidasu ashita he to
Beginning to walk and drag myself to tomorrow
今夜も映し出す祈りのsilhouette
konya mo utsushi dasu inori no silhouette
Tonight also reflects a silhouette of a prayer

Hey my friend
なぜだろうあなたの声が聞こえる
naze darou anata no koe ga kikoeru
Why can I hear your voice
Hello my self
隠れてた光が見えた気がした ah
kakureta hikari ga mieta ki ga shita ah
It seems I can see the hidden light

擦れ違い　見失うともう分からない
surechigai miushinau to mou wakaranai
I didn't know I'd passed it by and missed it
I lose my way without you
出口が見えなくて
deguchi ga mienakute
I can't see the exit

なんとなく泣きそうになるの
nantonaku nakisou ni naru no
Somehow I become tearful
I don’t know where my heart is…
素直になれなくて

It's hard to be honest

終わらない夢や現実がどうとか
owara nai yume ya genjitsu ga dou toka
Endless dreams and reality and etc
遮るものに捕われていたけど
saegiru mono ni towerate ita kedo
I was caught up with distractions

Hey my friend
つまづかない生き方などないから
tsumazukanai ikikata nado nai kara
We stumble through life
Baby I think…
飾るだけのプライドならいらない
kazaru dake no puraido nara iranai
If it's just decorative pride, I don't need it
ah oooh…

青い空はそこにあるの?
aoi sora wa soko ni aru no?
Is there a blue sky?
where are you babe?
I lose my way without you
この霧が晴れたら…
kono kiri ga haretara..
When this fog clears...

変わる何かに胸を躍らせていたい
kawaru nanka ni mune wo odorasete itai
I want to be excited because of changes
すべてがデタラメに見えるこの世界で
subete ga detarame ni mieru kono sekai de
Everything looks ridiculous in this world

Hey my friend

Why can I hear your voice
Hello my self
導かれるように見えた未来があるの

To be guided, there's a visible future
だけど　踏み外す道が近くにあるなら
dakedo fumihazusu michi ga chikaku ni aru nara
But if you stray near the road
ねえ　my friend
nee my friend
Hey my friend
あなたが気づいた時には教えて
anata ga kizuita toki ni wa oshiete
Tell me when you realise it

Jet Li's Unleashed (2005)

Ahh, I remember the first time I sat down to watch Unleashed. It was with an ex-boyfriend (spoilt the mood a little but ah well), and I was 16 I think... anyway, I can't remember anything other than those facts... so I'll remember the next time I watched it... or just any other time I watched it.

Right in the first few seconds of the opening credits, we see the famous collar from the film that symbolises everything that binds Danny to his violent background and to his Owner/Uncle Bart; we also get close ups of Danny's eyes and ears as well as very focused sound. The first lines "Get 'em" are so simple yet effective, and so vital to the film, that the whole essence of that first minute immediately grips its audience, right onto the ping of the collar, another indicator of pure, amazing violence.

After the ping, we see a brilliant fight scene by Jet Li, started off with a straight kick into the chests of two men. We see the sheer power that Jet Li exerts, and raw instincts which is symbolic to the whole idea of Danny being treated as an attack dog instead of a human... (I found this idea so intriguing that I did a whole investigation on the language used in the film for my A Levl English Language Coursework... we'll see how well I did for it, but I really enjoyed watching the film, over and over, and over...)

From the word go, the film is put down as a psychological action-thriller, ingenious in structure and choreography, and it has everything that Jet Li fans desire (well it did for me, and I'm a huge fan), despite the focus on the psyche of Danny.

The character of Sam was an interesting one, as originally, he wasn't meant to be blind, but Morgan Freeman (who plays him), had the idea that making Sam blind would make it easier for him to 'see' the child in Jet Li's character of Danny, and not the brutal killer that he really is... and this is the main focus of the film, for we are meant to see how Danny, although trained to become a killer, has the mind of young, frightened child.

Throughout the film, no matter who I've watched it with, there have been times where the room's been full of laughter one minute, then gasping, then enthralled by a fight scene, or then deadly serious the next. The film, although it features some amazing martial arts scenes, focuses more on the storyline and the development of Danny, and the relationships he has with those around him. Also, how he is saved... by music.

The film has a struggle for power over Danny, through Sam and Bart, one being the father, the other being the master. The way the writers used language to show this struggle is brilliant and it keeps the audience gripped and it makes you care about who wins over Danny.

The sound effects during the fight scenes, where in some films sound utterly ridiculous and weird, in this film are so realistic, you really believe the characters are killing each other, and Yuen Wo-Ping's brilliant choreography tops it off.

For the first time, the lucky audience is witness to Jet Li's true acting. Jet Li seems to have taken the film to heart, as he is a true believer in one of the morals behind the film. Jet Li being a Tibetan Buddhist is strictly against violence, and this film portrays the fight between humanity and violence, as well as the struggle for power through friendship or through pure violence and manipulation.

Being a martial arts film fanatic, I purely advise those who are enthusiastic that though there are few fight scenes, they are purely some of the best, and most realistic, and the most enthralling, out of the many (and that is a lot) martial arts films I have ever seen. The cast was brilliantly picked, each actor plays their character to the maximum potential, and to this day, 'Unleashed' remains my all-time favourite movie.

Sam: You okay?
Danny: She kissed me!
Sam: Yeah, she does that. How was it?
Danny: [pauses] Wet.

Ip Man (2008)

I have to admit, I bought this film on a whim. I'd heard one of my Chinese friend talking about this film for ages and ages, and I was in a Sainsbury's buying some sweets one Tuesday in January, after going to a Japanese class with my boyfriend, when I saw 'Ip Man' staring up at me from the DVD section. I was immediately in need of the film. For a start Donnie Yen was starring, and he was in Jet Li's 'Hero' and he is AMAZING. Therefore I spent money, and I was the proud owner of CineAsia's DVD.

Anyway, we went back to my boyfriend's house, made a pizza and some home-cooked chips, and sat down to watch 'Ip Man'. All I'd ever heard about Ip Man, and not the film, was that he was the first man in China to teach Wing Chun openly, and he taught many people, including the famous Bruce Lee. Now, I've had a try at Wing Chun, it's lots of fun (but expensive.. one day I will start again) and it takes a lot of mindset as well as training.

The film is a semi-biographical martial arts film about the life of Yip Man in the city of Foshan (funnily enough, where my friend is from!) during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The filming, though, was done in Shanghai and the crew architecturally recreated a 1930s Foshan quite well I would believe.

It begins with the background of many southern Chinese martial arts schools all fighting against each other and trying to gain as many disciples as possible. Although Ip Man is the most skillful of them all, he keeps a low profile, trains no disciples, as he already has enough money and a good family (this all changes); this sets the beginning tone of the film... I don't have to say that both my boyfriend and I love our Asian Histories, so we were hooked... (my boyfriend's a Japanophile, so the Japanese side to this film enticed him too, even though the film is very anti-Japanese).

Next, the Japanese invaded in 1937, and Ip's home is claimed and used as the Japanese headquarters (what a slap in the face); Ip and Co. are forced to move to a decrepit home and he's forced to support his family by working at a coal mine. It is here where we learn the Japanese colonel Miura is looking for skilled Chinese martial artists to fight against his troops to train them up, in return for a bag of rice for each opponent they defeat.

Ip Man's friend goes missing, so he investigates the situation, and learns many of the Chinese Martial Arts Masters are fighting there, also a police officer, Li Zhao is working as a translator. This is where Ip fights at least 10 Karatekas and totally kicks their asses, interesting Miura (epic fight scene ensues). The scene was amazingly choreographed, and I have been known to rewind it and watch it again, before moving on.

Anyway throughout the film, you grow to the love the character of 'Ip Man', due to his quiet, and humble way of dealing with things, the sheer anger and emotions he feels when he sees the fights between the Japanese and his people... especially during the fight between himself and General Miura, which is such an amazing fight.

I felt a tear in my eye when Master Liu dies, and I heard my boyfriend gasp too, the actors did such a good job of this scene, including the same one where Lin dies, as we grew to love the cheery character that is Lin... these tears were recalled to, when Ip Man finds Lin's younger brother and tells him that Lin has died. I cried along with him.

The audience really gets a feel of how powerless the Chinese must have felt during those eight years, especially when Ip Man goes to buy some rice. Then he was forced to find a job, despite his detached demeanour, we really see how much Ip Man cares about his family, his friends, and those around him, during fights, and how he always helps others.

Overall, it was a really moving film, despite the film's very "anti-Japanese" sentimentality, and Donnie Yen fights so well, and his martial arts style is so fluid in contrast to his usual razor sharp and quick style. A downside was the film told more about what Ip Man could do, and not about who he was as a person... but that's not really what most Martial Arts enthusiasts want to see.... but I really advise you to see this film, as its fight scenes are engaging and brilliant, the narrative keeps your attention and I give Donnie Yen and his co-stars a big two thumbs up for all the effort in the fights and acting.
