いろんな人も
そうすれば悩み 迷いもなくなる
誰かの声が
迷いのない日がくるなら
そんな日々になってしまうなら
何もかも知りたくない
好き勝手にできる
悪くいえば まだ子供さ
誰かの声が
どこか子供でいたいな いつも
だけど 私
心を閉じても開いてもいないよ
何が毎日だ もうやめだ
私を助けて
そんな時に 起き上がって
歩こうとする自分がいる

The lyrics of Hako Yamasaki's song Tsunawatari (The Mossy Pathway) explore the idea of gaining knowledge and experiencing different things in life. The first stanza encourages the listener to learn about various subjects and meet different people in order to gain a sense of clarity and understanding that might help them overcome their worries and doubts. The second stanza suggests a different point of view: closing one's own heart can also be beneficial, as it allows one to act self-indulgently and enjoy a childlike state of being. However, the singer then admits to feeling neither open nor closed, stuck in an in-between stage.
The third stanza conveys a sense of weariness, as the singer expresses their desire to escape their daily routine and personal struggles, with the plea "help me" appearing in English for emphasis. However, the fourth stanza reveals the spark of hope that keeps the singer going: they want to shout to themselves that they love the very act of standing back up and walking towards something. The motif of the heart features prominently throughout the song, conveying a sense of emotional vulnerability, as well as the ambiguities and contradictions of human existence.

Lyrics:
"Get to know a lot of things,
and also many kinds of people.
This way your troubles and doubts will vanish",
said someone's voice.
If these days without doubt will come, and continue just the same,
I would rather not know anything at all.
"Closing your heart, that seems nice. You can do whatever you want. Honestly, just be a child.",
said someone's voice.
A part of me always remains in this desire,
but my heart is neither opened nor closed.
"What's it with these same days, I cannot stand them anymore. Please save me."
When those times come, I love the 'me' that just tries to rise up and start walking.
Because I want that, I shout into my heart, towards myself:
Help me, help me, help me, help me
(help me,...)
@ayman2767
"Learn about many kinds of things
And many kinds of people.
If you do that, your worries and doubts will both go.
...said someone's voice.
If a day without doubt comes,
If my days all became like that,
I won't want to know anything at all.
I've closed my heart—that's OK too, right?
You can do as you please.
If you put it less nicely, I'm still a child.
...said someone's voice.
I want some part of me to be a child, always.
But my
Heart is neither opened nor closed.
Every day it's something. It's time to quit.
Someone help me.
At times like that, I'm someone who
gets up out of bed and tries to walk forward.
I like that. So I scream
In my heart
To myself, I scream "Help Me'"
@Lowbarful
"Learn about many kinds of things
And many kinds of people.
If you do that, your doubts and worries will go away.”
...said someone’s voice.
If a day without doubt comes,
And if every day were to become the same,
I wouldn’t want to learn anything at all.
“Close your heart-- that's okay, too, right?
Do whatever you want.
To put it less nicely, act childish. “
...said someone’s voice.
I want some part of me to be a child, always.
But my
Heart is neither opened nor closed.
What is it with the day-to-day, anyway? I’ve had enough.
Will someone help me?
At such times, I'm someone who
gets up out of bed and tries to move on.
That’s my preference. So I scream
Inside my heart
To myself, I scream "Help Me'"
I think this translation makes the meaning a bit more clear

Know many things and many people
In doing that,
Your troubles and doubt will go away
And if the day comes
When someone's voice is not hesitant
I do not want to know everything
Your heart is closed
And that's fine
You can do whatever you'd like
To say it poorly, it's childish
Someone's voice
Somewhere, I want to be a child
Always
But me,
My heart isn't closed, nor is it open
What is every day?
I've already stopped
Help me, please
In such a time, get me up
I'll try to walk on my own
I like that, so I'll shout out
In my heart, I'll shout on my own
Help me!

Rough translation:
Tightrope walking (tsunawatari)
Hako Yamasaki
You should learn a lot of things, and know a lot of people too
If you do, your worries and doubts will be gone
Said someone's voice
If a day without any doubts is coming
If ever such a day comes
I don’t want to know anything
Shutting your heart away, that's also okay, do as you please
To put it badly, you're still a child
Said someone's voice
Somewhere, I always want to be a child
But my heart is neither shut nor open
What everyday life?
No more, just stop
Help me
In such times, there’s a me that finds myself getting up and doing certain things.
I like this
So I scream.
Inside my heart, I'm screaming at myself:
Help me
What everyday life?
No more, just stop
Help me

So I scream.

You should know many things
If various people also tried that,
would solve their worries and hesitation
I heard someone's voice
If no-hesitation day comes to me,
if such days go on,
I don't want to know anything
Closing my heart... Interesting!
I can do anything I want
If looking at it negatively, I'm still a kid
I heard someone's voice
I'm supposing I want to be a kid forever
But I'm not closing my heart or opening
What the hell is "Every day"! I’m done!
Help me
In such a case, there's me getting up
and being about to walk
I like that, so I'll call out
I'll call out to myself in my heart
Help me
What the hell is "Every day"! I’m done!
Help me

@Zuiyo1974
Japanese music from the 70s and 80s is unmatched in freshness and originality.
@definitelynotanAIchatbot
It was directly inspired by contemporary American music lol. Still fantastic by itself, though.
@Kriskazam
yeah i was about to say lol.
@cpa2788
There's some really fabulous Japanese stuff from the '90s too.
@hiddenking4840
Luis Alis it's very good...wouldn't say it's unmatched because it's influenced heavily by souls and classic rock and other genres, but with a unique Japanese flavor...it's very good music but it's not a creation of its own to say it's unmatched
@forgetful9845
@@definitelynotanAIchatbot I love it when different musical cultures mix and create something beautiful. Like holy shit, most of Americas musical tradition is a mix of European influences and African influences. And then you find these Japanese artists taking stuff like the blues and jazz and mixing it with THEIR musical history. Its so cool.
