Hataraku Maou Sama
So what anime are you watching recently? I am watching Hataraku Maou Sama which is also currently airing in Japan.
Hataraku Maou Sama はたらく魔王さま, the title when translated to English means
"The Devil is a Part-Timer".
Story goes like this, the
Devil King Sadao was beaten by Hero Emilia and ended up in modern-day Tokyo
where he has to work as a part timer to pay off for his living expenses as he
has no real-world skills to speak of. The Demon Lord Satan found himself and
King Sadao in human form in our human world, and they have to totally learn how
to adapt to a new human environment.
In Tokyo, King Sadao is
just like any normal human being, as he is not able to use his powers, if not
he would not be flipping burgers in MgRonalds.
But he does look cute in
the uniform and looks just like the boy-next-door working part time in a fast
food restaurant, doesn’t he?
Imma enjoying the comedic
moments in this series, and as the story progresses, we get to know more about
King Sadao and how his character slowly reveals.
The genre of this series is
of a wide range, it can be a comedy, bits of romance, and I can really relate
to the working environment in MgRonalds and the call centre ^^ and I think the
character setting was quite well-established in the anime. It’s a light-hearted
drama.
I usually watch this after
work, to destress and have a good laugh, or at least it will put a smile on my
face after watching it. And I really like the voice of King Sadao, really fits
the character to a tee with his lively yet modulated voice.
I am still at episode 5,
and there’s hardly a boring scene because at this stage, still getting to know
about the characters and how the story will unfold. I guess I should download
it into my phone and watch it during my commute time to work so I can speed up
:)
The theme song is rather
anime-ish and motivational, just a nice song you need to listen on your way to
work everyday to instil some positive thoughts of the day.
You can find the
song here
The lyrics are rather
inspiring and upbeat and were written by the singer herself too. No wonder I
can feel the really lively mood of the song.

English Lyrics
Get out of the gate
True sky
This moment, this place, is
where it begins
Let's try to imagine what
we can go
There are even events that
are unbelievable
Even further... we can
overcome them all
Power of dream, can make
everything come to life from zero
Shine and fly to that sky
Light blue wind, I want to
flap my wings to it all I can
With the best of smiles and
laugh
Let's go!
Let's fly out to the
unknown world now
The one who picks and
chooses his future, is myself
Let's go on chasing our
dreams, there will also be days where we cry
That is the most important
wish, don't let it fade
Because I will surely meet
up with you tomorrow
When I'm with you,
everything becomes fun
I want to be with you no
matter when it is
The words that I can't
convey, I embrace them
And gently.... let my feelings
fly out
Power of love, from where
does life comes from?
It's a mystery you know,
when you realize the sign
Jewellery heart, grabs up
to it, and don't let go
This is the strongest of
encounters, more straightforward than anyone
Even if everything about
the world changes
The truth is the only thing
that won't change
Let aim for the top! Don't
you forget that
Even if the road the star
signs get cloudy
You should just go back to
how you were from the start
You can find something that
only you can do
At the end of the light,
there's no limit
Let's fly out to the
unknown world now
The one who picks and
chooses his future, is myself
Let's go on chasing our
dreams, there will be days where we cry
That is the most important
wish, don't let it fade
Because I will surely meet
up with you tomorrow
get out of the gate
true sky
Kanji Lyrics
この瞬間、この場所がスタート
イメージしてみよう 何ができるのかな
信じられない出来事だってある
もっと… 越えていけるね
power of dream 0から生まれるすべて
輝いて fly あの空へ
light blue wind 思いきり、羽ばたきたい
最高のスマイルで 笑いながら さぁ、ゆこう!
未知の世界へと今 飛び出そうよ
未来を選び、決めるのは自分
夢を追いかけてゆこう 泣く日もある
それは大事な願い、消えないで
きっと逢えるから 明日の君へ…
君といると 楽しくなれるよ
どんなときだって いっしょにいたいんだ
伝えられない言葉、抱きしめて
そっと… 想い飛ばした
power of love どこから生まれてくるの…?
不思議だね sign 気づいたら
jewelry heart つかまえて、はなさないで
最強の出逢いだね 誰よりもまっすぐに
たとえ世界のすべて 変わったって
真実だけは 変わらずにあるよ
上を目指してゆこう! 忘れないで…
星座が示す道が曇っても
0の自分へと還ればいい
君だけにできること 見つけられる
光の先へ… 限界なんてないの
未知の世界へと今 飛び出そうよ
未来を選び、決めるのは自分
夢を追いかけてゆこう 泣く日もある
それは大事な願い、消えないで
きっと逢えるから 明日の君へ
