HANA YORI DANGO

うただーひかる

ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだか　せつない
さよならの後も　解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
Ｔｈｅ　ｆｌａｖｏｒ　ｏｆ　ｌｏｖｅ
友達でも　恋人でもない　中間地点で
収穫の日を夢見てる　青いフルーツ
後一歩が踏み出せないせいで
じれったいのなんのって　baby
ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだか　せつない
さよならの後も　解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
Ｔｈｅ　ｆｌａｖｏｒ　ｏｆ　ｌｏｖｅ

甘いだけの　誘い文句
味っけ無いトーク
そんなものには興味を　そそられない
思い通りに　いかない時だって
人生捨てたもんじゃないって
どうしたの？と急に聞かれると
ううん、何でもない
さよならの後に　消える笑顔
私らしくない
信じたいと願えば願うほど
なんだか　せつない
「愛してるよ」よりも「大好き」の方が
君らしいんじゃない？
Ｔｈｅ　ｆｌａｖｏｒ　ｏｆ　ｌｏｖｅ
忘れかけていた人の香りを　突然　思い出す頃
降るつもる雪の白さをもっと　 素直に喜びたいよ
ダイアモンドよりも　やわらかくて
あたたかな未来　手にしたいよ
限りある時間を　君と過ごしたい

ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだか切ない
さよならの後も　解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
Ｔｈｅ　ｆｌａｖｏｒ　ｏｆ　ｌｏｖｅ

North Korea is major player in animation industry

Analysts say Pyongyang’s animation expertise likely reflects the patronage and personal involvement of the country's all-powerful leader Kim Jong Il, a noted film aficionado

Thus begins the wildly popular South Korean cartoon series “Pororo the Little Penguin”—whose heroes and catchy theme are omnipresent throughout South Korea. Less widely known, however, is that the series has been produced in part by highly skilled animators in neighboring rival North Korea, one of the most isolated, impoverished, and technologically backward countries on Earth.

Expert animators, poor communications

“North Korea employs animation to deliver various messages to the public, and North Korean animators have been sub-contracted by Japanese and European companies. That is why technically they are strong.”

Media experts say North Korean production values are top quality. The state-run SEK studio is one of the largest in the world, employing 1,600 staff working with state-of-the-art equipment.

Among its clients are the Korean-American studio KOAA, for whom SEK worked on a U.S. $6.5 million feature titled Empress Chung. Another North Korean studio, Samcholli, helped produce “Lazy Cat Dinga” for Hanaro Telecom.

Iconix trained the North Koreans in 3D animation, Choi said, adding, “They were very quick learners. If they find a way to solve their managerial and communication issues, I see a possibility that they might catch up with South Korean animators within the next decade or so.”

SEK studios in Pyongyang animated 10 or 52 episodes of the first season of “Pororo,” he said, but Iconix found communications with their North Korean collaborators too cumbersome to continue.
