'Under Pressure' - an Okada Masaki MV

If by now it's not yet clear that I love Chiisana Kyojin 小さな巨人 (TBS 2017), well here I say it again: I LOVE the series. I have summarised all episodes and gave a review. I love the series, very much. I love that Okada Masaki got that role, as I said here, it diversified his portfolio big time. It's not that Masaki has never played detectives before, but this is the first time he played a detective with such a jagged, shaded character, that it definitely is a breath of fresh air for me! Hence this MV, using Queen's classic 'Under Pressure' (feat. David Bowie).

Okada-san himself has apparently been waiting for a long time for such a role that he got very excited when he was chosen to play Yamada Haruhiko. He also had to shoot at crazy hours, including up to 3 am in the morning (poor baby... no wonder he was often angry in the series, LOL!). The snippet of his interview is after the break, as well as the lyrics for 'Under Pressure'.

岡田将生「久々にこんなに胸が熱くなるようなドラマを見させてもらいました。まだまだここから怒涛の展開が待っているので、ぜひ広めていただければ嬉しいです」

...
特に前日の深夜3時過ぎまで撮影があった岡田はテンションが壊れ気味。同じく「自分が貫いているポリシー」という質問に対して、高笑いしながら「僕は朝ごはんはパンか朝ごはんかと言われたら朝ごはん派なんですよ！」といろいろとっちらかった回答をドロップ。 

「パンを食べたい人？　どうでもいい！　それが僕の正義だ！」（岡田） 

「ずっと寝てなくてダメなんです」（香川）、「もう全部面白くなっちゃってる」（昇太）と大先輩2人のフォローを受けつつ、なお高笑いし続ける岡田さんでした。 

(translation tba, gotta open my grammar book to have it translated, as correctly as I can)



The Queen 'Under Pressure' lyric is here:


Under Pressure 
Queen & David Bowie

Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's okay
It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people people on streets
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
Okay
Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets - ee da de da de
People on streets - ee da de da de da de da


It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher higher high
Pressure on people people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why?
Love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking

Reff:
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love give love give love give love
Give love give love give love give love give love


'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night
And loves (People on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
