I recently became a junior high school teacher just to spread this song among kids. It's much more powerful than any meaningless and boring classes that they're forced to take.
When Blue Hearts was in its heyday, I was an elementary school student and didn't really care about lyrics, but as an adult, I remember being impressed by the depth of the lyrics of "Aozora". I felt very positive about the sensitivity of the two of you. Please do your best. I hope you will continue to take up JPOP in Japan.
I'm American Indian. I've listened to this song many times while driving and never knew we were featured. I've only looked up the lyrics for 2 songs. I will look up more.
The first 4 sentences of the song: "On the other side of the television A cavalry troop is showing off By shooting down Indians With their sparkling guns". Later on, he talks about black people not being admitted on the bus. I think he is recollecting pieces of history that people in the USA can relate to.
@@MaxSujyReact Thanks for your response. The meaning of the song seems to be- no matter where we're from or what we look like we're still human with more similarities than differences. The Blue Hearts are really the only punk that I listen to but lyrically ( judging by this and Train Train) ,from an American perspective, they seem more hippy than punk. American punk seems to be rebel, rebel, rebel but this is more intellectual. I like it. I listen to mostly Japanese music now and I have some Blue Hearts but I don't pay much attention to lyrics. I see you reacted to some groups that I like and I have subscribed.
👑ブルーハーツ / 青空 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wsegnRfMnR8.html The lyrics of this song deal with issues such as racism and conflict. In this day and age, I would like people all over the world to read and listen to the lyrics of this song carefully. This song is about (I think) the Rosa Parks incident in 1955. Hiroto's movements are often misunderstood, but his facial expressions and actions are not meant to mock anyone, but to show that people should not be discriminated against because of their appearance. Although he was initially criticized by the public for his illness and alleged drug addiction, he quickly became a charismatic figure in the Japanese music scene because of the message his music conveys. He is currently the vocalist of a band called The Cro-Magnons, but even in the year 2022, the music created by Hiroto Komoto and guitarist Masatoshi Majima holds a special place in our hearts.
This song was sung by the Japanese in the 1990s, transcending racial barriers. In 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, he refused to give up his seat to a white man against the orders of a public bus driver, [1] and was arrested on suspicion of violating the Jim Crow Law and became prominent. This triggered the outbreak of the Montgomery Bus Boycott incident. Rosa was considered a cultural icon in American history and was called the "mother of the civil rights movement" by the United States Congress because it became the catalyst for the civil rights movement by African-Americans (blacks). As a shared property (shared heritage) of the human rights movement, its actions are highly regarded internationally.
Thank you for loving Japanese music and giving your insight. I've listened to "Blue Sky" countless times, but never thought about the background behind the bus. You are possibly right because Marcy's (this is how we call the guitarist) lyrics are always incredibly deep and witty.
From an overseas perspective, BLUE HEARTS may look like a crazy band, but the reason why it's so popular in Japan is that the lyrics are wonderful and it's passionate.
I'm looking at my MEET THE BLUEHEARTS- BEST COLLECTION IN USA and I see it has English translation. I've always just listened without paying attention to the lyrics. American punk is about rebellion but these lyrics are more intellectual. I like them because they're more hippy like and more about love and respect. But I'm wondering if from a Japanese perspective, are these lyrics rebellious? And are they typical of Japanese punk?
@@jefffromchicago6321 I think they are one of the leading punk rock bands in japan, but not typical one. And i agree with you. there are some songs have a rebellious meaning, but Not resistance or destruction, just they want to ask essence and the truth peacefully.
@@jefffromchicago6321 Their lyrics are so full of love and respect. Some of the lyrics are a little against authority, but that's why they are so popular.
@@renstupid Thanks. I see from the replies here and from another reactor the the Bluehearts are not a typical Japanese punk band. While other groups are negative with a challenging attitude the Bluehearts have a positive and hopeful message.

I don't know that's band is how understand by the other language speakers. that's difficult, and But their acting is like my first heard blue hearts. this movie is so good for there is no border for good songs.
The first time I knew this song was in 1989, just the timing of the release of this song. I was studying in the US as a student at the time. Therefore, I was so moved by the words of the song.
