1 - INTRODUCTION
2 - 'VIEWTIFUL WORLD' LYRICS
      Japanese Lyrics
      Phonetic Transcription
      (Attempted) Translation
3 - CLOSING



==========================================================================
 1   .   I N T R O D U C T I O N
==========================================================================


This is just a transcription and translation of "Viewtiful World",
Viewtiful Joe's theme song. There's two videoclips for this song,
both of which are available for download (though at a mediocre
quality, sadly) from Capcom's official homepage:

http://www.capcom.com/v-joe/video/vj_video.mov
http://www.capcom.com/v-joe/video/vj_warehouse.mov

If you own the American (or Japanese?) version of the game, you can
unlock the "Warehouse" version of the videoclip in the game itself by
beating it once. If, like me, you have the European version, you're out
of luck. Well, look at the bright side, at least we paid twice as much
for the game than Americans did! Wait a second...

Anyway, what I offer for you here is the Japanese lyrics of the song
(which to display you'll need to open this document in NJStar or
similar), then the phonetical transcription to our alphabet (romanji),
then the  best I could do for a translation (I don't know much Japanese,
and the English+Japanese mix lost me quite a bit at times). I tried for
a literal translation when it made sense more or less, and a best guess
of the meaning when a literal translation didn't resemble anything
coherent.

Well, that's pretty much all. Oh yeah, there's a reason I didn't include
my e-mail address here, and that would be because I don't want to be
e-mailed about this one FAQ, seeing as this'll be a one-shot thing. Thanks
for your understanding!
