Japanese Boy
GTA VC/Aneka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh, oh oh
Now I find I'm sitting here on my own
Oh oh, oh oh
Was it something I've said or done
That made him pack his bags up and run
Could it be another he's found
Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
He's a Japanese boy
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy
Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy
People ask about him every day
Oh oh, oh oh
Don't know what to tell them, what can I say
Oh oh, oh oh
If only he would write me or call
A word of explanation, that's all
It would stop me climbing the wall
It's breaking up the happy home
Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
He's a Japanese boy
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy
Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy
Was it something I've said or done
That made him pack his bags up and run
Could it be another he's found
It's breaking up the happy home
Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
He's a Japanese boy
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy
Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy
Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
He's a Japanese boy
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy
Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy
The song "Japanese Boy" by Aneka is a pop song from the early 80s that tells the story of a woman who wakes up one day to find that her love, a Japanese boy, has left her. She is left alone and confused, wondering if it was something she said or did that caused him to leave. She hopes for an explanation, but he doesn't respond, leaving her to deal with the pain of a broken heart.
The lyrics use repetition, with the main chorus "Mister can you tell me where my love has gone, he's a Japanese boy" being repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the woman's desire for answers. The lyrics also touch on themes of loss, longing, and cultural differences.
The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody contrast with its melancholic lyrics, making it both a pop hit and a lover's lament. It's a popular choice for disco and dance parties, as it's easy to dance to and has a memorable beat.

In those days, English views on Japan and China didn't really make a difference
(Korea? Weren't they part of China/Japan?)
Now we have Takeaway Chinese and Sushi, Ramen, Katsu curry
The English people have a clear difference between Japanese and Chinese cuisines
K-Food? F*ck those who copied elements from China and Japan
(and BBC News should stop showing those insulting clips on K-Food Strawberries and Shine Muscats, which were stolen from Japan)
Kimchi is a subdivision of the Chinese pàocài pickles
Korea wouldn't have had access to red pepper if Hideyoshi's army hadn't invaded Korea
Which their army used to heat their soles in the frigid temperatures in the Korean peninsula
Koreans picked up the pepper that were discarded by the Japanese soldiers to mix into their disgusting pickles to make it more appetizing

Was it something I've said or done
That made him pack his bags up and run?
Could it be another he's found?
It's breaking up the happy home.
Mister can you tell me where my love has gone?
He's a Japanese boy.
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy, ooh
I miss my Japanese boy.
aha aha aha aha aha aha aha aha aaaaaaa
People ask about him every day
oh oh, oh oh.
Don't know what to tell them what can I say?
Oh oh, oh oh.
If only he would write me or call
A word of explanation, that's all.
It would stop me climbing the wall.
It's breaking up the happy home.
Mister can you tell me where my love has gone?
He's a Japanese boy.

I wish Rockstar would make a HD version of Vice City with the musics intact.
There would be more than a few gamers who would love the nostalgia
