1) ザ･ブーム (The Boom) is a Japanese rock band. Its members are Miyazawa Kazufumi (vocals), Kobayashi Takashi (guitar), Yamakawa Hiromasa (bass guitar), and Tochigi Takao (drums).
Vocalist Miyazawa Kazufumi who is the composer and lyricist for The Boom was inspired by the music of Okinawa. A single CD Shima-uta was released in 1993 with high sales, which reached approximately 1.5 million and brought fame to the band, around the world as well as at home. On December 31st 1993, The Boom participated in Kōhaku Uta Gassen, an exclusive show usually reserved for elite musicians.
After they released Shima-uta, the group went on to perform Kaze-ni Naritai, Kaero-kana, and Tsukisaemo-nemuruyoru, but Kazufumi wanted to write more Okinawa songs, so an album comprised purely of Okinawa songs was released.
Miyazawa Kazufumi released several solo albums, and composed songs for other musicians, including Akiko Yano, Kyoko Koizumi, and Rimi Natsukawa. Many people are under the misconception that Miyazawa Kazufumi's hometown is Okinawa, but this is not the case.
In April 2007, Um, the first album by Miyazawa's new band Ganga Zumba, was released. A short tour in Japan by the core members of this group (Miyazawa/Takano/Tatsu/Suzano/Vachet) was planned for August/September.
2) The Boom is an american rock band from Washington, DC with jazzy sound. The revolving line-up includes Fred T. Erskine (also Hoover, Abilene, June of 44, The Crownhate Ruin), Joe McRedmond (Hoover, The Crownhate Ruin), Booker T. Sessoms, Carlo Cennamo, Josh Larue, J. Carrier, Christopher Farrall and Stuart Fletcher. They recorded and released 2 albums: Movin' Out (1998) and Any Day of the Night (1999). A third album with a different lineup was recorded but never released.
真夏の奇蹟
The Boom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
喪服をまとって
子供らを生贄に
聖なる祭りは続く
愛してるって言って
あなたの口から
この世界が再び
地球より青い愛に気づいた二人
誰にも止められない
真夏の奇蹟
舵が狂ったNATION
イカルスのようさ
銃声が響いても
二人はキスを止めない
愛してるって言って
嘘でもいいから
古ぼけた方舟で
イエスが逃げ出す前に
地球より速く回りはじめた恋は
誰にも止められない
真夏の奇蹟
愛に傷ついて
また愛を信じた
約束は永遠と
疑わなかった二人
地球より速く回りはじめた恋は
誰にも止められない
真夏の奇蹟
地球より青い愛に気づいた二人
誰にも止められない
真夏の奇蹟
地球より速く回りはじめた恋は
誰にも止められない
真夏の奇蹟
The lyrics to The Boom's song 真夏の奇蹟 (Midsummer Miracle) tell the story of a couple who have found a love that is unstoppable, even in the face of adversity. The opening lines describe a city in "celebration," with people wearing mourning clothes and sacrificing children as part of a sacred festival that continues on. This juxtaposition of celebration and sacrifice sets the tone for the rest of the song, implying that love can be both beautiful and tragic.
The chorus declares that the couple's love is a "midsummer miracle" that cannot be stopped by anyone. They have discovered a love that is "bluer than the earth," and it is this realization that sets them on their journey. As they navigate through the ups and downs of life together, they remain steady in their love for each other, even when the rest of the world seems to be falling apart.
The song's use of imagery and metaphor enhances the emotional power of the lyrics, creating a sense of longing, passion, and hope that is both uplifting and heartbreaking. Ultimately, 真夏の奇蹟 is a powerful tribute to the power of love to transcend time and overcome obstacles, and it remains a beloved classic of Japanese pop music.
