Talk:1% (song)

Where are the lyrics?

@ Moscow Connection,

I was hoping to get to read the lyrics. But all I did find in this article was the link in the last box (at the bottom) Category:Songs with lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto. But the link there only links back to this article. Closed circle, but no lyrics.

====================================================
{To save me adding colons, I simply inserted above line.}

The following lyrics are from:
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/translations/31/328/Tomomi%2520Itano/1%2525/none/0/0/0/0

What they delivered was a trans-scription from Japanese to Latin letters.

I started to request translation from Yandex.
When I was finished, I saw that in the address bar is:
https://www.google.com/search?q=japanese+translate+to+english&source=hp&ei=mFJBY5atJt6Cxc8P5c-2OA&iflsig=AJiK0e8AAAAAY0FgqDoMgeDCgDY9o6ateZkpw3ND7-TM&oq=japanese+to+english&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYADIGCAAQHhAHMgYIABAeEAcyBggAEB4QBzIFCAAQgAQyBggAEB4QBzIGCAAQHhAHMgYIABAeEAcyBggAEB4QBzIGCAAQHhAHMgYIABAeEAc6CwguEIAEEMcBENEDOgUILhCABDoICAAQgAQQyQM6BwgAEIAEEAo6CggAEIAEEMkDEAo6BwguEIAEEApQrhpY8nFg3LwBaAFwAHgAgAGABogBriaSAQsxLjYuNy40LjYtMZgBAKABAbABAA&sclient=gws-wiz

Because of a 3'900 letter limit, I had to get it translated in parts.
Positive side effect: paragraph by paragraph.

Question:
What have these lyrics to do with "1%"?

• @Steue: Hello! We can't put the lyrics here cause the lyrics are copyrighted. What we can do here on Wikipedia is to explain in our own words what the song is about. But, according to Wikipedia rules, such information would have to be sourced (see Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources). So I don't think it is possible right now... (You will have to find a source that discusses the song's lyrics.)
  She says she's lonely and she wants to be loved, and just one percent love would be enough for her. I'm not too good at Japanese and I can't say right now if there is a particular person she wants to be loved by of if she just means she wants to experience the feeling of love and being loved. It's probably the second one. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:42, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, Moscow Connection

Keeping the lyrics

I hope, we can at least keep the lyrics here (in the Talk), for discussion purposes.

1%

Your explanation for the "1%" makes sense. And I'm perfectly willing to believe you, but I still can't see where it says this in the lyrics.

"1%" of what? His love?
Then there would have to be a concrete/specific person.

concrete or imagined person?

"1%" of what? His love?
Then there would have to be a concrete/specific person.

In line 1:
I guess the "KONKURIITO" is a hill or a building;
and she sings: "Asebami is waiting " (not just standing or sitting).

In line 2:
There is coming a car. I guess she has been waiting for a specific person in a car.

There is also: "Oroka Nada-san".
"-san" is said after the name of a (male?) person, in an address.
So there is a concrete name.

In line 12:
She says: "I won't tell you anymore".
To me this sounds like to a specific person.

Yes, okay, thank you, that makes sense, it is a specific person. When I was replying I didn't have time to watch the music video and I remembered it differently. I will watch it now. (I'm not very active on Wikipedia right now, but I'm planning to return.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:26, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

I still can't see where it says this in the lyrics
—"1％愛されたい (Ichi pāsento aisaretai)". "I want to be loved 1%".

"1%" of what? His love?
–Not sure now... But when I listened to this song (and I listened to it a lot a few years go), I understood "1% love" as a one-percent solution of love or something like this. Like, it's still true love, but it's not as strong as 100-percent love. --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:46, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
