== What is the source of these lyrics? == | |||
The Japanese lyrics on this page seem very weird to me for multiple reasons that make me doubt that they're the official lyrics. | |||
Firstly, the spacing. Japanese written only in Hiragana (which is often seen in children's media) often includes spaces for ease of reading. However, the spaces here are placed weirdly. The particles (small words like "wa", "ga", "no", etc.) are spaced separately from the words they're attached to, which is extremely uncommon. This style of spacing is not even used in the original Japanese version of Pikmin. In the Hiragana-only mode of Pikmin, particles are written directly after the words they attach to, without an intervening space. For example, the first sentence of Olimar's introductory monologue is written as "{{j|わたしの なまえは キャプテン・オリマー。|Watashi no namae wa Kyaputen Orimā.}}", where the particles "{{j|の|no}}" and "{{j|は|wa}}" do not have spaces between themselves and their preceding words. | |||
Secondly, the punctuation. The Japanese lyrics on this page use "。。。" as ellipses instead of "…", "⋯", or even "・・・". This is a very weird choice of punctuation that seems to indicate that the lyrics here were not typed by somebody who knows Japanese very well. The "。" character is not normally used for ellipses. | |||
Thirdly, the typos. In the lyrics for "Namida ga Afureta" included on this page, the second line of the chorus includes two typos. The word "{{j|って|tte}}" is misspelled as "{{j|て|te}}", and there is an extraneous character "{{j|な|na}}". If these were the official lyrics, it seems weird to me that they would include these obvious typos. | |||
Does anyone have a source for these lyrics? Is this really how the official Japanese lyrics are written? I apologize if this comes across as rude or disrespectful. I just want to make sure. [[User:Zavegonzo|zavegonzo]] ([[User talk:Zavegonzo|talk]]) | |||
