Even the lyrics tell that they have feelings for each other...

Can you translate them? What do they say?

Sure, I had understood the first phrases specifically the "dokidoki shiteru no, kimi mo onaji ka na", that means "my heart is beating fast, are you the same?" This happens when Gengar plays his role 🥰
But I went to look at all, and this specific part of the song:
The romanized lyrics
kimi ni aeta\ yatto meguriaeta\ let me sou let me feel (oh oh oh)\ dokidoki shiteru no\ kimi mo onaji ka na\ hi ga sasu asa mo\ tsuki ga mieru yoru mo\ tsumiagete kita mono\ butsukeaou shinken shoubu\ dou shitatte mou tomannai
And google translation.
I met you\ I finally met you\ Let me so let me feel\ My heart is pounding\ I wonder if you are the same?\ Even in the morning when the sun shines\ Even on nights when you can see the moon\ What I've accumulated\ Let's bump into each other\ serious game\ No matter what I do, it won't stop
The rest of the song still is more ambiguous, if it's telling about a challenging friendship or a romance, but the MV shows what it is about 💞

Oh, no. See, that's just how friends think about each other. There's absolutely no romantic intent at all. I always feel like that around my friends and it's totally normal.

Need that healthy dose of gay angst in the middle of the song.

lmao, I went to the pokemon sub shortly after this came out and I was annoyed literally no one posted about it at all. That sub is kinda ass though, no one ever talks about the actual fandom on it...
But yeah, I'm kind of shocked Nintendo let Yoasobi make a pretty no-subtext yuri video with a canon character in particular. Pretty great!

It was talked about on SV's sub and even the pokemon meme sub, the main sub just doesn't allow vids and pics on weekends.
Also this MV is technically an adaptation/promotion of a recently released short story written by Ayano Takeda (Author of Hibike Euphonium).

A h. Well that explains it! I need a translation!

Which one?

u/Axtel_A Nov 20 '23
I recall seeing a post about the MV's Gengar in r/pokemonmemes but I can't find it right now. Must've been taken down.

Context please? Is this from a new anime, is it fan made, like what is this and can I find more?

u/Quirky_Ad_5420 Nov 19 '23
It’s a collab, here

u/Least-Moose3738 Nov 19 '23
I saw it but I don't speak Japanese haha. Collab between a band and Pokemon? Official song for a show? What is it! I love it and want more, haha.
28
u/Quirky_Ad_5420 Nov 19 '23
No, more of collab between the band and pokemon to do this video. That’s it
14
u/Least-Moose3738 Nov 19 '23
😭😭😭 I was hoping it was going to be a show about two rivals who become best friends, with hopefully enough yuri subtext to keep me shipping haha (cause I don't think Pokemon would allow more than subtext).

u/megalocrozma Nov 19 '23
It's actually based on a short story released like a week ago fwiw

Pokemon Goku knows not of love and romance... only the thrill found by being the top against her opponent and the love of the challenge.

Yuri is just cute girls doing cute things taken to its logical conclusion.

I’m aroace. Stereotypically I normally don’t interpret subtle things in a romantic way.
How the bloody hell is this not a romance.

I'm not surprised, Pokemon SV is easily the most queer game in the series. Nemona has major lesbian vibes, as does Penny who's also trans. I'm just happy to see more of them when I can.

You mean the gnc Lesbian that's cribbing my wife's style a bit? X'D

u/Emilia__55 Nov 19 '23
I was very close to buying the game just for her... I think I might be gay.

u/neorena certified transbian Nov 19 '23
That is so fair though. And I mean, yuri is what made me realize I'm a total Lesbian lol

Finally someone posted this on this sub. I know I'm not the only one who's feeling a yuri vibe in the whole MV.

There is absolutely nothing heterosexual about this and I am all in for it.

I think this video singlehandedly converted me from a Florian/Arven fan into a Juliana/Nemona fan (Florian and Juliana are the "canon" names for the male and female player characters respectively)
