Audio Clip extracted from JP drama

aleku · 6 Jul 2004

I have a audio clip extracted from a japanese drama, I was trying to copy down what the girl is saying, here is my attempt:

合コンだっていったんするし、クリスマスや誕生日には彼と一緒にいたいなんてそういうあきたいごく普通女のよ!

Can anybody help to correct it?

aleku · 7 Jul 2004

With the help of a japanese friend, I finally got the sentence correct:

合コンだって行ったりもするし、クリスマスや誕生日には彼と一緒に居たいなって、そういうごくありきたり普通の女なのよ

Hmm,

在り来たり【ありきたり】 (adj-na) common; ordinary

Nice one.

Is that from A beautiful Life?

aleku · 8 Jul 2004

Nope, it was from "Pride" by Kimura Takuya

In ep#2, Kimura Takuya asked Takeuchi Yuko why did she "choose" him, that was her voice.

cacawate · 8 Jul 2004

Ahh, I see. It sounded like something Youko would say from 'A Beautiful Life'. So, How is that drama anyways?

aleku · 8 Jul 2004

It is about Ice-hockey, love and friendship, can give it a try
I give it 3 out of 5.

cacawate · 8 Jul 2004

Deal! Try 'A Beautiful Life' if you haven't also. It's about a girl in a wheelchair with a terminal disease who finds love. It'll tug at the ol' heart strings.

I give it a 5 out of 5*.

*Probably cause it was my first drama. Natsukashii.

This is Yuko's direct response to him on her reasons for choosing him....:?

@aleku
So, I've been listening to it for a bit this morning, and everytime it gets to the ありきたり part I can't seem to hear it correctly. To me it sounds like ありきたや.

So, how'd you get it? I'm guessing everyone else here heard it correctly too, because this hasn't come up yet (of course all the other people that posted are excellent with their Japanese, including you).

How am I hearing this? I even went as far as thinking it might've been ありきたりゃ, but Google laughs at me for that (But not for 在り来りは, which gets 14 hits). Well, any help with listening skills on this would be appreciated, even if it is you guys/gals just telling me you had no problem hearing り.

Thanks a million,
-Jeff

Aha! Actually you're quite right that there's a mistake in the transcription in that area.

It should be ありきたりな普通

And if you look at the definition of ありきたり it's as a _na_ adjective.

But in the end, I still didn't hear it correctly. It's amazing how the り and な run together so fluidy. Do you think she might have pronounced it ありきたんな? That's probably a stretch.

Well, this thread has become very interesting to me, so I pose another question: Why do you think she opted to use ありきたりな普通の女 instead of ありきたりな女? Do you think it puts emphasis on the ordinariness* of herself?

ありきたりな女だ
"I'm just an ordinary girl."
ありきたりな普通の女だ
"I'm just your everyday, run-of-the-mill girl."

Thanks again for this awesome thread. Now, let's get this discussion goin'!

*I'm surprised that's a word.

aleku · 9 Jul 2004

yes, actually i also heard there is a "NA" after ありきたり, my guess is ....
she speaks so quickly(because Kimura was angry, and was running away, she was shouting at the back), so the sound was like some kind of "taking a breath" after speaking such a long sentence(in the drama, she actually speaks much longer than the extracted audio clip).

I wasn't able to listen the sentence myself, my japanese friend helped to write it down for me, too bad I didnt asked her what about the "NA" after the ありきたり

okay , it goes like this

He asked her why she chose him, she answered that because he shone like a star in the Ice-Hockey rink (Kimura is the captain of the team), he then said "what if I quit the team? then i wont be shining anymore, (will u still like me?)..."

then he started to walkaway from her, and that was the time she said that.

If they're speaking directly, however, I don't think she would use "Kare....."
or I want to be with him.

Yeah, but she _isn't_ addressing him at that point. Note the って.

クリスマスや誕生日には彼と一緒に居たいなって、そういうごくありきたりな普通の女なのよ

For Christmas and birthdays, "Wouldn't it be nice to be with my boyfriend," that's the sort of everyday, normal woman [I am]!

彼 as Boyfriend makes perfect sense....I've only used 彼氏 myself, though, so is it pretty common to hear "Watashi no kare" or "Watashi ni wa kare ga imasu" (?)

As you might expect it's EDICT'ed
彼【かれ】 he; boyfriend; (P)

Try a Google on "あたしの彼"
1. 彼氏
2. 彼
3. 彼
4. 彼氏
5. 彼
6. 彼氏
7. 彼
8. 彼氏
9. 彼氏
10. 彼
I think it's pretty much interchangeable

OK--thanks. I didn't have time for that kind of search at the time....
