英訳 『その他大勢タイプ』日向坂46【坂道で学ぶ英語と康】

『その他大勢タイプ』(My Type is "Many Others")（作詞：秋元康）

Lyrics

There are plenty more fish in the sea.
But the question is where to compromise.
Chasing after my ideal person will only lead to a broken heart.
Instead, I want a little happiness.

0:51
I finally learned that when I grew up.
I've got to broaden my horizons.

1:06
I'm not interested in good-looking men.
Protecting myself is more important than pursuing those people.
Safety first.
I'm exhausted from the competition.　
I can't feel relaxed.
I would choose an ordinary "many others" as I can have him to myself.

1:41
I've been at the mercy of romance.
It's about time for me to take a rest.

1:55
Instead, I want a boyfriend who will be with me whenever I turn around.

2:09
Is there anyone in this world who will love me only?
Just one person will do.
It doesn't matter how he looks.
More important is his character.
I don't want any rivals.
I like "many others"
I just realized that.

2:52
I don't need a perfect boyfriend people are jealous of.
You are always with me. That's why I love you.

3:16
I'm not interested in good-looking men.
Protecting myself is more important than pursuing those people.
Safety first.
I'm exhausted from the competition.
I can't feel relaxed.
I would choose an ordinary "many others" as I can have him to myself.

コメント

MVバチボコかわいいやんけ。キラキラしすぎて涙出てくる。自然と保護者の気持ちになって見てしまう。最近、ひなのちゃんブームが俺の中で来てる。日向坂が第２章に突入するのもあって、将来のために3期生内の推しをぼちぼち見つけようとしているからかもしれない。

歌詞も現代の若者の恋愛に対する姿勢を反映していて、とても共感できる。かつて『ロマンスの神様』で「性格良ければいい。そんなの嘘だと思いませんか？」と歌われた時代とは違って、恋愛に消極的な若者が多くなった昨今では、高望みせず、容姿より一緒にいて楽しいかどうかがパートナーを選ぶ上で大事な指標になってきている（気がする。俺だけ？）。

もちろん、容姿が良くてなおかつ一緒にいて楽しい人と付き合えるなら、それが１番良いのだろうけど、その努力をするぐらいなら、「同じものを見て感動できる同じ価値観」を持っている人と付き合って、「かわいい」はアイドルを見て摂取するぐらいがちょうどいいかなと個人的には思う。
