Amayadori Illustrated Diary #022-#028

Alright, strap in, friends, this is going to be a long one.

Chapter 22 references a classic japanese tradition in which, in order to overcome the stress and anxiety that comes with standing in front of a crowd, one draws the character for "person" on the palm of their hands three times (hence why Atsu says "it's one too many") and pretends to gulp it down.

According to at least these two QAs i found, this practice comes from the idiom "人に呑まれる, to be swallowed up by a crowd". Seeing that the verb for "swallowing", 呑む, can be used in both the "swallow a thing" and "being overwhelmed by something" senses, the practice aims to ease the pressure put on an individual by reversing the situation, that is, the individual simbolically swallows the crowd instead.

The punchline of the chapter relies on the fact that Ame guides Sooda to draw the character for "Umbrella", 傘 instead. In Japanese, Kanji can be merged together in order to form other Kanji, and indeed, the Kanji 傘 is formed by four repetitions of 人, a "cross" (十, the number 10) and a "roof" (𠆢, doesn't really mean anything on its own).

Of course, seeing how it involves extreme wordplay with japanese characters, it was essentially impossible to localize, which is why i left the characters in the speech bubbles to see if I could still get it across.

On chapter 25, Atsu brings up various terms that refer to the blossoming of cherry trees under a rainy/cloudy weather, these are, in order of appearance:

• 桜雨, lit: Rain cherry blossoms, translated as rainy blooms, and 桜流し, lit: Cherry blossom wash/flow, translated as flowing blossoms. These are nouns made by joining "Cherry blossom" with other words, and don't have a direct translation or equivalent in english;

• 花ぐもり, lit: Clouds made of flowers, translated as clouds of bloom, is used when the flowers are blooming under a cloudy weather;

• 花冷え, lit: The cooling from the flowers, translated as petal breeze, refers to flowers blooming when the winds are chilly;

• 花風, lit: flower winds, translated as wind blossoms, refers to when the wind blows through the blooming flowers;

• 花嵐, lit: flower storm, translated as such, refers to when the blossoms are hit by a strong rain, scattering their petals around.

The punchline of the chapter comes from Sooda suggesting Mapo Glass Noodles, "麻婆春雨", the kanji for "glass noodles" is Harusame, "春雨", which also refers to the gentle drizzles of rain that occur during springtime. I tried my best to localize it but i found it very hard to get it across without leaning too much towards one meaning in particular, so i figured i'd make a note instead.

On chapter 27, Sooda says she bought the food from a デパ地下, which translates more literaly to "underground department store". From what i could understand, some department stores in Japan prefer to sell their perishables and other foods in an underground floor, however, over time, the term simply came to refer to the food sections in department stores in general.

The archive for their first live concert has since expired, however, the physical release for their 1st album, also titled "The Umbrella Folds Down", seems to still be up on the Findmestore. Alternatively, you may simply listen to it on streaming.

If you use LINE, you may also purchase their Sticker collection.

雨宿り Amayadori

五輪真弓 Mayumi Itsuwa

駅のホームで見かけた

あなたは昔の恋人

その懐かしい横顔

思わず声をかけたわたし

あなたは驚いたように

煙草を落としてしまった

砕け散った炎の日々が

束の間によみがえり

見つめ合う

どうしてる今は

あれから君は

元気にしてるわ

いつだってわたし

お茶でも飲もう

少しの時間

電車は

通り過ぎてゆく

あなたはコーヒーカップに

角砂糖ふたつ入れて

今の僕はこんなものさと

笑いながら

髪をかきあげた

そう だけど 不思議ね

あの日別れたことも

ただ あまりに若

すぎただけだと二人

たがいに許し合える

愛したわ わたし

あなたのことを

今は別々の

夢を追うけど

めぐり逢いは

素敵なことね

雨やどりするように

二人

愛したわ わたし

あなたのことを

今は別々の

夢を追うけど

めぐり逢いは

素敵なことね

雨やどりするように 二人

Amayadori 天宿り (Soraru) - Letra y traducción

※En el caso de querer utilizar nuestra traducción, por favor, pedirnos permiso y darnos los créditos.

composición, letras y arreglo: Mafumafu

強がってばかりで 意地張ってばかりで Tsuyogatte bakari de ijihatte bakari de 背は小さいままで 夕焼け空 暮れていく Se wa chiisai mama de yuuyakezora kureteiku

Siempre actuando rudo, siempre actuando tercamente El cielo en una puesta de sol roja se oscurece, mientras mi espalda sigue siendo una pequeña silueta

臆病なままだな 泣き虫なままだな Okubyou na mama dana nakimushi na mama dana あぜ道でふざけた あの頃から変わらない Azemichi de fuzaketa ano koro kara kawaranai

Sigo siendo un cobarde, sigo siendo un llorón No soy diferente de ese entonces, cuando jugueteaba por el sendero

いけないこととわかっている Ikenai koto to wakatteiru 許されないとわかっている Yurusarenai to wakatteiru それでも今日は雨が降るから Soredemo kyou wa ame ga furu kara 雨宿りをしていこう Amayadori wo shiteikou

Entiendo que no se debe hacer Entiendo que no debe ser perdonado Aun así, hoy lloverá así que Vamos a refugiarnos de la lluvia

ああ 借り物としても Karimono toshite mo 今はただ貴方が愛しくて Ima wa tada anata ga itoshikute 知りたいこと以外 知らないから Shiritai koto igai shiranai kara このままでいよう Kono mama de iyou

Ah Incluso si es sólo algo prestado Ahora sólo me importa qué tan amado eres A excepción de lo que quiero saber, no sé nada Así que sigamos de esta forma

人気のない小道を 言葉も無く歩いた Hitoke no nai komichi wo kotoba mo naku aruita 信じ合えたあの頃のように Shinjiaeta ano koro no you ni

Caminamos sin palabras en el camino desierto Como aquel entonces, cuando podíamos confiar el uno en el otro

数えるほどの幸せに 誇れるものがあるのなら Kazoeru hodo no shiawase ni hokoreru mono ga aru no nara Dentro de mis momentos felices que puedo enumerar, si hubiera algo de lo que pueda sentirme orgulloso

同じ世界で こんな世界で Onaji sekai de konna sekai de 愛し合えた それだけだ Aishiaeta sore dake da

Sería que en el mismo mundo, en este tipo de mundo Pudimos amarnos, no más que eso

この雨が止まない ずぶ濡れの世界にいられたら Kono ame ga yamanai zubunure no sekai ni iraretara 染みだすローブも乾かないのに Shimidasu roobu (robe) mo kawakunai noni

Si pudiera quedarme en este mundo empapado donde esta lluvia no para Aunque tu túnica mojada no se seque

借り物としても Karimono toshite mo 今はただ貴方が愛しくて Ima wa tada anata ga itoshikute 知りたいこと以外 知らないから Shiritai koto igai shiranai kara

Incluso si es sólo algo prestado Ahora sólo me importa qué tan amado eres A excepción de lo que quiero saber, no sé nada, así que

もう少し Mou sukoshi Sólo un poco más

まだ降りそうだ まだ続いているから Mada furisou da mada tsuduiteiru kara 「もう私を連れ去ってよ」と “Mou watashi wo tsuresatte yo” to 一言だけ聞かせて Hitokoto dake kikasete

Todavía parece que podría llover, todavía continúa "Ya llévame contigo" Déjame escuchar esas simples palabras

ねえ Nee Hey

(*) La manera usual de escribir "amayadori" (天宿り) es en realidad 雨宿り, que se lee exactamente igual. En vez usar el kanji de lluvia (雨 • ame) en el título de la canción utilizan el kanji de 天 (ten, ama, ame, amatsu), que significa "cielo" en el sentido bíblico de la palabra (antónimo de infierno). "Amayadori" significa literalmente "refugiarse de la lluvia", pero se hace este juego de palabras quizá como manera de decir que, ese momento en que se está refugiando de la lluvia con esa persona, se siente como estar en el cielo.

Most sources estimate that Rigel is 870ly away from the sun, that means the light we currently see comes from the very tail end of the Heian period (794-1185). However, estimates for Betelgeuse vary from 400 all the way to 700ly away from the sun, which puts the origin it's current observable light anywhere from the very end of the Kamakura Period (1185-1336), the Muromachi (1336-1573) or the very short Azuchi-Momoyama (1573-1603) Periods, to a little into the Edo period (1603-1868).

Gyokuro, or Jade Dew, is the highest grade variation of green tea in Japan (some even say of the whole world), it is harvested only once a year during winter. It undergoes a special harvesting process where the youngest leaves are shaded from the sun roughly 20 days before plucking, they then undergo several different drying processes and are set to age for up to six months before finally reaching retailers.
