Wai Bakkai (Only You)

[Machine Translation] Kagoshima-based doo-wop singer "Jimmy Irie" has produced not only doo-wop classics covers and original songs but also doo-wop arrangements of Kyushu and Kagoshima folk songs, Showa songs and children's songs. He has released not only doo-wop classics covers and original songs, but also doo-wop arrangements of Kyushu and Kagoshima folk songs, Showa-era songs, and children's songs. This time, I sang the world famous song "ONLY YOU (original singer: The Platters)" in Kagoshima dialect! In January, 2026, he sang "ONLY YOU (original singer: The Platters)" in Kagoshima's MBC radio program "Blue! Takuo Noguchi, the MC of the popular radio corner "Momeni 600" on MBC radio in Kagoshima, said "ONLY is "Bakkai" ! ONLY YOU is "Wai-bakkai" in Kagoshima dialect. Jimmy Irieda, who was listening to the song, translated the lyrics in Kagoshima dialect. In the 21st century, the era of 2025, permission to translate lyrics and songs (especially foreign songs) is very strict. We are grateful to the American right holders and related parties who accepted our seriousness and gave us the OK, even though the content included puns. It all started with the radio. This time, too!

鹿児島発信のドゥーワップ・シンガー"ジミー入枝"。これまでに,ドゥーワップ・クラシックスのカバー集、オリジナル・ソングの制作のみならず、九州・鹿児島民謡,昭和歌謡,童謡唱歌のドゥーワップ・アレンジ作品をリリースしてきたが、今回は、ワールド・ワイドな名曲「ONLY YOU (オリジナル歌手: ザ・プラターズ)」を鹿児島弁で歌ってみた! 2026年1月,鹿児島・MBCラジオ『青だよ! たくちゃん』内の人気コーナー『めにめに600』で、MC: 野口たくおの発言「ONLYは "ばっかい" ! ONLY YOUは,鹿児島弁で "わいばっかい"」がきっかけ。ちょうど聞いていたジミー入枝が鹿児島弁による訳詞を制作。訳詞・替歌の許諾 (特に外国曲)が非常に厳しい21世紀・令和の時代。シャレを含む中身ながらも,コチラからの本気度を真正面に受け止めて頂き、OKを出して頂けたアメリカの権利者,及び関係者に感謝。きっかけはラジオから～のキセキの連続! 今回も!
