(English and lyrics below)
明けましておめでとうございます！動画をアップするのがかなり久しぶりになりました。加えて、昨夏、予期せず水泳しちゃったとき（つまり「カヌー転覆事故」）に、いつも使っていたビデオカメラが他界してしまったので、新しいカメラを購入して画質の向上を図ってみましたが、いかがでしょうか。
2019年の初動画として、あいみょん「君はロックを聴かない」を英語で歌ってみました。この歌の解釈については、ある男性の視点から描かれたストーリーで、好意を寄せている年下の女性に対し、青春の頃聴いていた音楽やレコードを紹介する形で、お互いの距離を縮めようと努力する恋愛をイメージして訳しました。Enjoy♪
Hello all! It's been a while since I've uploaded a video, but I'm back for the new year and with a new camera to boot, since the other one met its untimely demise during an accidental evening swim (i.e. canoeing incident).
I'm starting the year with an English version of "Kimi wa rokku wo kikanai" (You don't listen to rock) by female Japanese singer-songwriter Aimyon, who gained a lot of popularity last year and appeared for the first time on Kohaku (popular Japanese end-of-year music program) this year. It wasn't with this particular song, but this one is apparently the fan favorite, which I can certainly understand. I plan to get to some of her other songs as well.
This song is from the perspective of a man (which is common for Aimyon) who is introducing a younger love interest to the music that he grew up with, hoping that it will bring them closer together.
Enjoy!

歌詞／LYRICS
～♪～♪～♪～♪～♪～
You look a little lonely and a little blue
Come here and let me play this song for you
Follow my lead and clap in time
To this simple little surprise
I’ll give it everything that I have
Upon the dusty record spinning round and round
Lost dreams from long ago are dancing now
I drop the needle with a solemn touch
You don't need to hold your breath so much
Come over and have a seat with me
The rhythm of my youth with a warm pleasant crackle starts to play
And we can dance to the cool and laid back melody
And even though I know that rock-n-roll ain’t what you listen to
I just want for you to grow a little closer to me
Even though I know that rock-n-roll ain’t what you’re used to hearin’
These old tunes are the ones I know, melodies that helped me grow
Saw me through the aches and joys of love
My heart is palpitating in time with the beat
A steady BPM of 190
Can you hear it pounding loud?
Why are you smiling at me now?
Until my eyes start shifting bashfully
The rhythm of my youth carries on like everything is the same
As I look into your eyes and the air starts to change
And even though I know that rock-n-roll ain’t what you listen to
I just want for you to grow a little closer to me
Even though I know that rock-n-roll ain’t what you’re used to hearin’
These old tunes are the ones I know, melodies that helped me grow
That once upon a time I fell in love to
And even though I know that rock-n-roll ain’t what you listen to
I just want for you to grow to love me like I love you
Even though I know that rock-n-roll ain’t what you’re used to hearin’
These old tunes are the ones I know, melodies that helped me grow
And now that make me ache with love again
君はロックなんか聴かないと思いながら
kimi wa rokku nanka kikanai to omoi-nagara
少しでも僕に近づいてほしくて
sukoshi demo boku ni chikazuite hoshikute
ロックなんか聴かないと思うけれども
rokku nanka kikanai to omou keredomo
僕はこんな歌であんな歌で
boku wa kon'na uta de an'na uta de
恋を乗り越えてきた
koi wo nori-koete kita
恋を乗り越えてきた
koi wo nori-koete kita
