WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE “I LOVE YOU”??

Owkay I rewatched the fighting scene between Shiro and Keith multiple times, including in different languages. And the thing is, the way Keith says “I love you” is VERY IMPORTANT.

So in French, Keith says “Je t'aime”. In some parts of France you ONLY say this to your significant other. And it’s an absulute no-no to say this to a family member or a friend. Instead you’d say “Je t'aime bien”.

In German, Keith says “Ich liebe dich”. But in Germany this is ONLY said to your significant other or wife/husband. It means “I love you” in a sexual way, in a “i want to be with you forever”-way. You DO NOT say this to your friend, family or brother/father-figure. “Ich habe dich lieb” is what you would say then.

And then ofcourse, you have the Japanese version. If you where to say “i love you” in japan you would say “Daisuki”. You would ALWAYS say “Daisuki” to anything. Friends, family, your lover etc. But you also have “Aishiteru”. “Aishiteru” is RARELY used, even between married couples because it’s the ULTIMATE word to express your TRUEST and DEEPEST love for someone. It is a word bearing so much emotions and love that Japanese people refuse to disrespect it by using it all the time. Ofcourse you would expect then that Keith would have said “Daisuki”. But he didn’t. Keith said “Aishiteru”. Keith. Said. “Aishiteru”. The thing with this is, the Japanese dubbers could have easily turned it into “Daisuki”. But that didn’t happen.

I dream of the day when I won’t have to look at this fucking chart….

Lies

Babies (and small children) also cry for reasons such as:

1. “I am tired and that makes me angry”

2. “I scared myself with a fart”

3. “You are the wrong parent”

4. “I ran into something with my face”

5. “I’m facing the opposite direction then the one I want to”

6. “I fell asleep in one place and woke up somewhere completely different”

7. “I am a very small person in a very big world”

8. “I got scared because YOU farted”

THIS IS IT, PEOPLE <3

This damn thing has been in varying stages of ripping, encoding, uploading, and filtering for about 42 hours. Across an ocean, over two computers, and through like four different programs. From us, to you!

This is the 1997 musical, the same one that has been previously available on Youtube as a transfer of the VHS copies that circulated around the fansub circuit in the early 00′s. This is … an upgrade, to say the least, ripped from the new Japanese Blu-ray extras disc. I uploaded it at full blast in 1080p, and though it is, of course, a live recording 20 years old, you can now see the sweat on foreheads, and smug Touga’s smug expressions.

The subtitle track is based on the one previously available on Youtube, however most of the lyrics have been replaced with translations by Verthandi and The Utena Translation Project of the songs as they appear on OST 5. I also changed out several phrases for more familiar translations, and made sure Saionji’s stupid lovebirds line remained intact. I switched also to honorifics. We all know what they are, don’t we? That said, I don’t speak Japanese, and would love any feedback on the translation and subtitles. I will absolutely make changes to the subtitle track based on feedback!

Thank you, ALL OF YOU, for donating to get these discs to us, and for egging us on. I was ready to find a horrible VHS transfer on this Blu-ray, and spend the next year begging for forgiveness. I hope this (and the content to come!) earns the faith you put in us. We love this damn show, and the damn awesome fandom we’re part of because of it. <3
