Zashikiro Editing Test

Sakichi longs for a lively place. His mother has a low income, but she feels sorry for Sakichi and takes him to an amusement park. However, at the park, everyone ridicules Sakichi and his friends, calling them "one-eyed!" The park attendant tells mother, “You’re ruining everyone’s fun, so get out of here!” The town is filled with campaign posters from the Japanese government proclaiming "Chosen-tokuju," "Japan is out of the post-war period!" and "Long live liberalism." ("Chosen-tokuju" refers to the economic boom in Japan that was the result of the Korean War.) In town, a young couple ridicules Sakichi and his son, calling them "one-eyed!" and "gross!" His mother protests, but is punched by the man. The woman supports the man. Sakichi runs to mother. His mother tells Sakichi, "Only Mommy will always be on your side, no matter what."

Limitless Paradise’s St. Louis Blues 2nd version

After recording the first version, Hiroshi Harada's cousin Naosumi recorded a new version and suggested to Hiroshi Harada, ''Use this one for the movie''. It's true that songs filled with emotion are wonderful. However, Hiroshi Harada decided that the first version, which had a constant tempo, suited the film's image better, so the second version was not used.

Zashikiro Temporary editing

Sakichi boy, is assaulted by everyone and his only friend, a little fish, is killed. While the perpetrators of violence were smiling and living happy lives, Sakichi was living a life of despair and sadness. Sakichi’s mother sees this and takes revenge on those who assaulted her child. The police come and blame Sakichi’s mother. Mother protests to police, “These guys are the ones at fault!” Mother says to Sakichi. “No matter how bad things happen to you, I’ll always be on your side! I’ll be on your side until the day I die!” The police angrily shoot his mother as she resists.

Mother screams. “KUYASHII!”

It seems that there is no English equivalent to "悔しい(KUYASHII)". We also looked it up on the English teacher's pages, but all the alternative translations were different. “KUYASHII'' does not simply mean unpleasant or irritating. “KUYASHII” is “When you are accused, ridiculed, or persecuted by someone stronger than you, you are weak and can never compete with someone stronger, but the feelings of anger and hatred remain.You cannot throw away those feelings. ”

It also means hating the perpetrator, but more than that, “KUYASHII'' is a word that is filled with hatred, anger, and resentment towards the absurd reality that cannot be achieved by one's weak self.That is what it means. That is what it means.

In other words, ”Everything is hateful to the weak, defeated self''. If I had to translate ”KUYASHII'' into English in a short way, wouldn't it be ”I hate everything''? This is the emotion that underlies all of Harada's works.
