Lyrics of a new song by Yasushi Akimoto had been a subject of argument a while ago, well, I know his lyrics have been terrible since the age of Onyanko Club. (For those of you who don't know about this issue, here's English article written by Sae Kitamura on Facebook.) Maybe it have become a bit better than before because it is recognized as a problem. On the other hand, there is no airhead girl in Ar Ciel since the living environment is more severe than Earth, and they can't survive if they are not smart.
学校教育という意味では無論各人差がありますが、それが本当の頭の良さではないのは承知の通り（学校教育という点では、ルカやさーしゃはかなり恵まれていないと思います）。そして、有利に生きるために人に媚びて愛されるように演じてきたルカは、それでは駄目だと気付いて"hartes ciel, melenas walasye."を歌います。例の秋元康の歌とはすごく対照的な気がしませんか。もっともっといい表現を作れるクリエイターが日本にはまだたくさんいる。私はそう信じています。
In terms of school education, each of them has a difference in levels of education, of course, but we know that's not an exact measure for how clever they are. (In terms of school education, I suppose Luka and Sasya are quite underprivileged.) Luka, who used to live pretending herself to be liked by people around, had realized that was not good for her, and sang "hartes ciel, melenas walasye." Don't you think it's a quite contrast to Akimoto's song? There are still many creators who can produce great works in Japan. I believe so.
