One Who Cares
L.d.p. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yea, yea
Oh oh oh Prince D
Sometimes I close my eyes
And venture into the depth of my heart
I try so hard not to capsize
But I find my self torn apart
Being alone by myself
Brings bad memories
And no enjoyment at all
All I want is to find someone
The one that I'll call my number one
All I want is to find someone
One with whom I'll watch midnight sun
Oh oh I want to find someone
Not just one for hit-and-run
I just need (eh eh)to find someone
Who understands me (to find someone)
I just need to find someone
(To find someone) who cares for me
I just need to find someone
(To find someone) who understands me
I just need to find someone (eh eh)
Somebody who cares for me
(Somebody who cares for me)
Somebody who cares for me, eh
Oh (to find someone)
Who cares for me
I just need, I just need
I just need somebody, eh
Oh oh, ah
All along I've waited
Calmly til I'll see you
Oh my love
I hope I'm not hated
To the point that I can find
No more love
I too was created
Similarly as everyone
In this world
Oh I hope to find love
That's the hope that I now have
I'm now truncated
Agitated and now ill-fated
Cause I feel my life complicated
When will I find love?
I'm frustrated
Oh i wish to find someone
Somebody to reactivate my life
Oh I wish to find someone
Somebody to reactivate my life
I just need (eh eh)to find someone
Who understands me (to find someone)
I just need to find someone
(To find someone) who cares for me
I just need to find someone
(To find someone) who understands me
I just need to find someone (eh eh)




Somebody who cares for me
(Somebody who cares for me)

Excellent video! I'll be very excited to watch your channel grow. Your quality is top-notch!

As a Mexican, it's shocking how similar yet different our 20th century was to Japan.

We were also governed by a single party for 76 years, the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI. (1929-2000; 2012-2018). The PRI also had many internal factions that broke into opposition parties with limited success. Not to get toooo political (hehe), but it seems the Japanese strategy of "start conservative and then loosen up" is more effective in the long run for running a country. The PRI was founded as a way to pacify, unite, and organize surviving and opposing warlords of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) which toppled a dictatorship which lasted 35 years (Porfirian regime of 1876-1911).

However, as anti-foreign commerce and anti-Americanism sentiments were a big part of Mexican society in the early 1900s (in stark opposition to the pro-business and pro-American dictator), the early PRI put all its energy on protectionism, nationalization of industries, and a loosely warm relationship with the USSR while keeping a cold peace with the US. This worked great for decades and the "Mexican Miracle" after WWII helped Mexico quickly go from a largely illiterate and agricultural country to a literate and industrial power with a focus on oil. Then oil prices collapsed in the 1970s and the economy went down the drain. Kinda similar to Japan's economic bubble bursting in the 1980s. Neither country's economy has fully recovered from those blows.

After the fall of the USSR, the PRI had to make a harsh factional turn to its more centrist and pro-American factions, which caused older leftist factions to splinter off into other parties. That, paired with notorious corruption and a liberalization of electoral law, led the PRI to lose both the Congress and Presidency by 2000. In 2000-2012 we were governed by the PRI's oldest rival and only electable opposition: the right-wing, pro-business, pro-globalization National Action Party (PAN). This was helpful to the economy but disastrous for the country as it was this party that started the Drug War which we are still suffering from.

For most of the PAN's administrations, a common thing to hear from elderly people was "the PRI is the only party that knows how to govern this country." In 2012, that theory was tested when the PRI returned to power, branding itself as a reborn party with no corruption and greater unity as a firmly centrist party. Well, neither of those were accurate as it was just as corrupt as ever and more right wing than it had been in the 1990s. That 2012-2018 PRI government left office with a disastrous 12% approval rating.

We are now governed by the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA): a new "leftist nationalist" party that looks like the old PRI, walks like the old PRI, and quacks like the old PRI... In fact, most of its party grandees are elderly leftist PRI members that left in the multiple party exoduses of the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. So while we are governed by MORENA, it feels like we're still under the PRI. But not the "rebranded" PRI which has become practically irrelevant, but by the 1930s-1970s PRI that held on to power through populist laws, social leftism, economic nationalism, oil promotion, and a not subtle tinge of authoritarianism and anti-Americanism.

The country isn't doing better by any metric when compared to the past, but MAN, this current MORENA government is popular (63% approval rating as of today, but up to 81% in its 2019 peak.)

Japanese here. I just wanted to thank you, because despite I've been watching almost exclusively English essay/short-documentary style contents on YouTube for about 4 years at this point, this was somehow the first time I've found anyone who could even scratch the surface of the nature of LDP. And not only that, I actually learned new things from your video.
If I could add some comments to this, I would say that this way of having a big tent for everyone, and putting emphasis on inner coordination of interests rather than confrontation and/or competition, is something that fit very well to traditional Japanese culture. When someone says Japanese people value "harmony" and hate open confrontation, this, this system of LDP, is I think one of the biggest examples of that.

nny

To be honest, other opposition parties are not capable of running the government. The public knows that.
At the time of the 2011 earthquake, the LDP was actually the opposition party. This caused confusion in various ministries. It was a nightmare for many people.
Even in the geopolitical situation in the Far East, a change in the ruling party will only destabilize the situation in Japan. There is no way that other parties can do diplomacy. The LDP has been bad at it so far.

Christmas

@VOD Listener I would argue that political party internal competition CAN resolve problems while saving 'face' (another way of thinking about 'harmony') but it's not guaranteed — we can look to the US Democratic party which is a similarly powerful broad church (and the long-term effects on domestic US policy) to see how things can go very wrong when issues are allowed to remain unresolved over a long enough period of time.
And I would argue there is early evidence of the negative aspects of this arrangement already apparent in Japanese society when you consider their economy (despite a favourable pro-Abe PR campaign supported by Washington) still fails to produce the results they have been seeking.

@H.L. Wolf  That's strange. Last time I checked, germany didn't make anime, manga, tokusatsu, some of the world's most prestigious videogame & toy companies, sushi, Pokémon, Digimon, dragonball Z, Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, getter robo, mazinger Z, gundam, sailor moon, one piece, etc. etc. The list goes on & on & on. You still sure Germany shouldn't have to apologize either?

YouTube seems to have tweaked the algorithm to promote smaller channels, and videos like this makes me really appreciate the change. Promising channel, keep up the good work!

dwa dd

this is very well researched video.
many, if not most, videos and documentaries about japanese politics utter nonsense, sometime straight racist.

ashtimbo

it might just be you. You probably avoid big channels and like indie stuff

Roman

I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten smaller channels in my recommendations
Big plus!

Nakla

In the vast majority of cases they will recommend you a small channel because you watched something from some small channel a while ago

Lawarch

Working on the next video right now! it should be out this week. I'm thankful for the algorithm and that so many kind people have been so encouraging in the comments
