Elesi - Rivermaya, Japanese Version (Cover by Hachi Joseph Yoshida)

Following last week's song "214," I covered another Rivermaya song.
Rivermaya's songs are interesting because they have a unique atmosphere in their sound.
I'm sure there are many other good songs by Rivermaya, so let me know in the comments section which one you like!


The problem I had when translating this song was the lyric "elesi".
There was no other good word in Japanese, so I had no choice but to choose the word "propeller".
Normally, I would have chosen a word ending in the pronunciation of "i", emphasizing Rhyme.
Musically, I am conscious of not changing the melody, rhythm, and rhyme of the original, because I have respect for them.


By the way, I wish I could have gone to see their reunion live!


Please share this video on Facebook and other places so that many Filipinos can listen to it!

Japanese lyrics, arranged by Hachi Joseph Yoshida


This song is a Japanese version of "Elesi by Rivermaya".
Rivermaya - Elesi


It's an unofficial arrangement, but I hope it will be appreciated by many people living in the Philippines.
I've translated the original lyrics to make it easier for Japanese to understand.
