"Ippai Oppai"?

Post by Vekurotto » Tue Apr 07, 2009 10:51 pm

After I learned that Ippai means "A lot" and Oppai is slang for "boobs" do you think that those lyrics to "We Gotta Power" really were supposed to mean "A lot of boobs"? I know it's completely random but somehow I think it makes since :P.
Be grateful the filler in Dragon Ball doesn't suck like the 3rd arc of Rurouni Kenshin.

It makes little sense. It's just like Cha-La Head-Cha-La - nonsensical words vaguely based off real words. Full power?

"Lots of breasts / I am cheerful"? It makes sense. Just not sense I wish it did. :(

It could just as well be Starbuck's slang for a Venti mother's milk latte, though, so don't jump to any conclusions.

Did this, by any chance, appear when ChiChi was on the screen?

It's okay comparing it to Funimation's subs for We Gotta Power:

The craziness surges toward us,
This is no time for tears.
I will raise my anticipations a hundred-fold,
And become our party's leading man.
That which you can lose yourself in
Will someday make you an incredible guy
NO... TEN P-KAN
The sky is clear
IPPAI OPPAI
I am feeling fine.
The trouble is here, so enjoy,
You naughty little boy,
We Gotta Power!
Dragonball Z
NO... TEN P-KAN
My head is clear,
RA-MEN ROPPAI
Mother doesn't care.
In the century's end, so twist and twirl,
You mischieveous little girl,
We Gotta Power!

Funi's song translations have me weary because of the nonsense parts.

Like on GT it starts with "DAN DAN, Little by little my heart is charming" or something like that, and I thought dan dan meant something like "Little by little"...

I find it amusing that a song contains a line that says: "you mischievous little girl" and a line that contains the words "A lot of boobs."

Just saying.

It's more like "big boobs" than "a lot of boobs."
