about
What about this song with a Japanese title?
It's TourdeForce cover-version of "Gegege no Kitarō", a theme song (released in Japan on October, 1967) used in all anime adaptations of a famous manga (with the same title) created by Shigeru Mizuki in the year 1959.
The song is quite well known in Japan and it is considered one of the most iconic anime themes ever made.
It was originally performed by Kazuo Kumakura and was written by series creator Shigeru Mizuki (lyrics) and Taku Izumi (music).
We think it fits well for Halloween. Enjoy!
lyrics
ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 lyrics
(Japanese Romaji and English translation)
Ge, Ge, Gegege no Ge...
Asa wa nedoko de guu guu guu
(We sleep in the morning, zzz zzz zzz)
Tanoshii na tanoshii na
(It's so much fun, it's so much fun)
Obake nya gakkou mo
(Ghosts don't have to go to school)
Shiken mo nanni mo nai!
(And we never take any exams!)
Ge, Ge, Gegege no Ge...
Minna de utaou: Gegege no Ge...
(Let's sing all together: Gegege no Ge)
Ge, Ge, Gegege no Ge....
Yoru wa hakaba de undoukai
(All night we play sports in the graveyard)
Tanoshii na tanoshii na
(It's so much fun, it's so much fun)
Obake wa shinanai
(Ghosts will never die)
Byouki mo nanni mo nai!
(And we never even get sick!)
Ge, Ge, Gegege no Ge.....
Minna de utaou: Gegege no Ge...
(Let's sing all together: Gegege no Ge)
Minna de utaou: Gegege no Ge...
(Let's sing all together: Gegege no Ge)
