Yasuha – フライデー・チャイナタウン (Fly-day Chinatown)

Title: フライデー・チャイナタウン (Flyday Chinatown)
Artist: Yasuha
Release Date:  Sep 21, 1981

I’ve been getting more YouTube suggestion for Japanese City Pop lately and I had the pleasure of hearing Flyday Chinatown for the first time.  People in the comments seem to have very different claims as to the meaning of the song, and I have found many of the English translations available are incredibly different.   I will add my own interpretation, which is based off of some Japanese listeners’ interpretations of the song.

孤月の節 Lone Moon Moon[1]Translating 節 as “moon” makes this translation sound awful.  節 actually does not literally mean moon, but interval of time (in this case, dividing the year).
Since months are based on the moon, “moon” was probably the best translation available.
