How wonderfully ironic that I've just translated a song in which foreigners who try to speak Japanese are being made fun of! That's right, it's not that my translation is bad, it's that the Japanese in the song is SUPPOSED to be bad! The Kome Kome Club is using this song to point out that many foreigners ("gaijin") can't really pronounce Japanese words correctly (hence the "deth" as "desu"), and can only say stock phrases. Also, they have very generic ideas about Japan (samurai, sushi, geisha, etc.). And though I feel like some part of me shouldn't like this song, I just can't help it!

This is my first time in Japan
Ginza is very good!
Japanese lady, all Japanese women are Utamaro!
Yoshiwara is very good!
A'ha, a'ha, cross over the sky, a'ha, a'ha, cross over the sea
A'ha, a'ha, if you cross over the hills, foreigners
Got you, get you man
Everybody samurai, sushi, geisha
Beautiful Fujiyama, ha! Ha! Ha!
Hello, goodbye, how much is this!?
Kamikaze, harakiri, ha! Ha! Ha!
I like wall scrolls, miso soup
Cameras are okay, very good!
Tea, sake, Hiroshima, Nara, Kyoto
I got some girls at the disco, I've got 'em!
A'ha, a'ha, cross over the rainbow, a'ha, a'ha, cross over the night
A'ha, a'ha, cross over the time difference, colors fade, half asleep, get you man
Everybody samurai, sushi, geisha
Beautiful Fujiyama, ha! Ha! Ha!
Hello, goodbye, how much is this!?
Kamikaze, harakiri, ha! Ha! Ha!
Please give me a call
But you're leaving, so you forgot
A'ha, a'ha, cross over the sky, a'ha, a'ha, cross over the sea
A'ha, a'ha, if you cross over the hills, foreigners
Got you, get you man
Everybody samurai, sushi, geisha
Beautiful Fujiyama, ha! Ha! Ha!
Hello, goodbye, how much is this!?
Kamikaze, harakiri, ha! Ha! Ha!
I'm a foreigner, you're Japanese, together hand-in-hand
I'm a foreigner, you're Japanese, let's form a circle together
Everybody samurai, sushi, geisha
I'm a foreigner, you're Japanese, together hand-in-hand
Everybody samurai, sushi, geisha
I'm a foreigner, you're Japanese, let's form a circle together
Everybody samurai, sushi, geisha
Beautiful Fujiyama, ha! Ha! Ha!
Hello, goodbye, how much is this!?
Kamikaze, harakiri, ha! Ha! Ha!
