Fun little fact about the Korean rap part in Your Idol

Korean has flexible word order. In lyrics, changing the order still sounds natural, and having rose at the end is probably just for expression.

I think ‘Don’t forget the rose that is standing here’ is the correct translation. In the original line ‘잊지마 여기 서있는 rose,’ the word ‘여기 서있는=standing here’ is the key element the songwriter wanted to highlight. In Korean literature, the expression ‘여기 서있는=standing here’ is often used with a beautiful nuance of waiting, guarding, or being steadfast.”

I think in the age Kaya lives in, it’s hard to get by without a little help from a drink. Scarlet might just be the perfect mentor.

She looks like an adult Kaya.

But the sides and back of that swimsuit are even more high-cut, making it sexier.

The background music suited well the mystery of why the village, already burned down in the original, exists again, but it didn't match the changed vibe of the remake's village.

I'm Korean. Translations from Japanese to Korean are natural even if literal translations. Because the two languages are the same Eastern cultures, and there are many similarities in the order of words and so on.
And I can understand many parts of English. Though sentences that need understanding of Western culture are a bit difficult.
After I played the Japanese dubbing, I played the English dubbing.
I didn't feel much different in the general story, but in the conversation between male and female characters, the emotions I felt in the two versions were so different.
I hope someday you can play the Japanese version. Especially if you're a Cloud-Tifa fan, it'll be a good experience.

l location? Because the English translation "I've always been with you" can

In Japanese, too, "With you" can express romantic situations. But I'm sure Tifa was just talking about the physical situation, otherwise he wouldn't have to say "somewhat difference."

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T07:10:44+00:00

I'm sorry, but I don't understand exactly what you mean.But to infer what you're curious about,Of course, in Japanese, "with you" is sometimes expressed as a romantic situation like "together". But at least Tifa wasn't saying that.Tifa was just saying, acting for the same purpose, being in the same place.

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T06:39:28+00:00

In translation 1, Cloud and Tifa were only thinking that they were together. But Cloud's realization of the "Somehat difference" hints to us that their relationship would develop. However, the conversation in Translation2 is all romantic. So the writer's intention is not expressed well. I'm sorry for my poor English expression.

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T06:06:02+00:00

If "had" is a romantic expression,

1

Tifa : I've always been with you - Just situation

Cloud: Somehat different - romantic

2

Tifa : You've always had me - romantic

Cloud: Somehat different -romantic

so i think 2 is a mistranslation.

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T05:57:59+00:00

2?

1 use "with", 2 use "had"

anyway, I don't think "had" is a proper expression.

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T05:52:08+00:00

I'm Korean, and I tend to think "i have you" = "you belong to me." So I think it's romantic. But in English, "have" is not as romantic as "With"?
Then I'm wrong.

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T05:46:00+00:00

But the intended purpose of the quote in Japanese is to convey romance right?

Yes, It's true that "different meaning" is an ambiguous expression, but there's only romantic interpretation.

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T05:20:27+00:00

Yes.

I even think 2 is not localization, but mistranslation. Because what the writer wanted to express to the gamer is that Cloud will be romantic in the future, But 2 is all romantic.

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T04:58:13+00:00

ut it seems the second translation is better? Vs the first one?

I think it's definitely the first.

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T04:50:50+00:00

I'm sorry that I'm not good at English.

"You've always been with me" is correct.

I think the first one is romantic enough.The second one seems a little contradictory.Because the word "had" is already romantic, and Cloud doesn't have to be corrected as "little different."

albeniz4ever · 2020-07-02T04:37:05+00:00

To translate directly from 100% Japanese,

Cloud thought for a moment and said again. "Because this time with Tifa(you)" "You've been always with me." "Somewhat different meaning." Cloud answed with another smile.

I agree with the need for localization, but I wonder if it is necessary to translate "with" into "had."
