先日、図書館でたまたまこの映画のDVD(和英ハイブリッド版)を見つけたので、レンタルして改めて、日英の違いを比べてみました。違いについては、インターネットで識者の方がいろいろ語られているので、ここでは書きません。
比較しているときに、興味深く思ったことは、この歌の場面での日本語の歌詞と日本語の字幕の内容が異なっていることです。英語の歌詞と字幕には違いがありません。動画の進行に合わせて、目と耳のそれぞれに最適化した翻訳作っているのですね、これは職人芸です。
The song named "Let It Go" is used in the Disney movie "FLOZEN", which made a big hit. At that time, I heard this song both in English (sang by Idina Menzel) and in Japanese (sang by Takako Matsu). I noticed that these same title songs had not equal meanings in the lyrics. The existence of the difference between English and Japanese impressed me. The Japanese lyrics seemed to be simplified, therefore the strong intention of the heroine "Elsa" was chipped in comparison with English version.
The other day, I found a "FROZEN" on DVD at a library and rented it to check each lyrics. Concerning about the difference, there are various opinions on the internet. I don't have the intention to add no originality opinion.
While I compered these lyrics, I was interested in that there was an another kind of difference between the Japanese lyrics and the Japanese subtitles. In English there was no difference between the subtitles and the lyrics. I realized that they made optimized translations for an ear and eyes individually, in matching with a display state of the animation. It was an expert technique.
