ねらわれた少女

きみを誰かねらってる
やがて　きみは愛にしばられる
それは悲劇だ　見過ごしに出来ない
さあ　逃げよう
 
夢の数はキャンディと
同じくらい　ここにあるはずさ
なのに誰かを　愛したらひとつさ
さあ　逃げよう
 
街はカラフルなカーニバル
赤いハイヒールをぬいで
アイスクリームなどなめながら
きみは舌を出して見せよう
 
きみを誰かねらってる
やがて　きみは愛にしばられる
そんな大人にさせたくはないから
さあ　逃げよう
 
部屋はポプコーンの雨降りさ
白いアンブレラをさして
揺れるブランコから手をふって
きみはウインクなどしよう
 
部屋はポプコーンの雨降りさ
白いアンブレラをさして
揺れるブランコから手をふって
きみはウインクなどしよう

The Girl Everyone's After

Someone is after you
Soon you will fall prey to his love
That would be a disaster, I can't just let it happen
Let's get away
 
There are many alluring dreams - as many as candies - that...
...the guys here might offer you
But if you really love someone, just pick one
Now, let's get away
 
This city is like a colorful carnival
Take off your high heels
And as you lick your ice cream,
...stick out your tongue and taunt them
 
Someone is after you
Soon you will fall prey to his love
I won't let you experience that growing up
Let's get away
 
Popcorn is raining in my room
I hold up a white umbrella
You're swinging on the swing and wave at me
Just give me a wink or something
 
Popcorn is raining in my room
I hold up a white umbrella
You're swinging on the swing and wave at me
Just give me a wink or something

Poor Chiemi, her songs are good but she never got a fair chance, the amazing Haruomi Hosono was behind some of her songs yet she wasn't a hit at the time TT (*Her and Misako had the perfect set up tbh)

Shes one of the retro idols who had a big resurgence in interest in the 2010's, mainly because of her Techno-kayo songs (wich sound great*), I wonder if she knows about that

Also the performance in wich shes on a drama, someone in the comments posted the full episode! So if you wanna see what the show was all about and what Chiemis character was doing you can see that vid

Shame that she has retired, I wonder in wich year she did tho. Does she know about her surge in popularity in the 2010's? Did she buy the reissue of her album? Hope she comes back soon

The songwriter Aku Yuu also seemed to be a big name songwriter. Just like Chako, big name songwriters / composers failed to boost their sales. 

And suddenly we got a lot of Chiemi here. Manabe Chiemi, Hori Chiemi, Yokoyama Chie(mi), there's probably another Chiemi among the real name of the idols I've translated. 😅

 

Yeah, the intro music is cool. 

 

Which video? I can't find the link. 

 

If they reissued her album, she must have known since she would be paid some royalties. 💴 l guess maybe she retired a few years after her last single since she still did some modeling.

Yea, its a shame since the lyrics and the song as a whole are really nice, they really suit Chiemis voice

Not as much as the Norikos tho!

Fr, "Kimi wo dareka neratteru yagate kimi wa ai ni shibarareru~"

Its sadly been deleted, it was fine as of a couple of weeks ago, shame that it was deleten

I wonder if she bought it since it was the "+ 7" version, wich basically has all of her discography. I want to buy it someday, but I might go for some other albums first like Lou Fin Chaus "+2" album and Micchons/Kanas albums ^^

Also some more performances:
 





She also had a cute commercial for a "record" shaped chocolate!

The choreography was also unique. There were always the two mimes dancing behind her. 

 

Sakai Noriko, Ogawa Noriko, Matsumoto Noriko, Kamachi Noriko, who else? 😅

 

Lol. Yokoyama Chie live performance video (idolpopdatabase YouTube channel) was deleted right before I was about to translate her second song. 😅

 

There's another cute CM of Manabe Chiemi



 

Feedeeri☆Feedeeri☆    Mon, 18/12/2023 - 15:26

Yes! I love how they hid her before she put on her mask lol

There are some more Norikos, like Noriko Watanabe (big actress)! There might be some Norikos among the real names of some idols, other than the "queens" name ofc

Poor Chie, she got her performance deleten before it could be used

She had a lot of CMs for an idol who retired after a brief time to be honest, but the little monkey is so cute!!
