~special video review: ‘You Make Me Want To Be A Man’ – Utada.
previous: introduction
Foreword/Disclaimer thing: I made all the screenshots myself. I made 196 screenshots of the video in Window Media Player. I really can’t look at the Print Screen button anymore.
I’ve divided my work into several parts. Eight to be exact. So this is 2/8.
The video I used to screenshot was deleted after I was done with this review.
Talking about videos. I HIGHLY recommend you to watch the video while reading this, because I wasn’t able to printscreen everything correctly.
If someone actually thinks I own the video that I directed it or whatever.
You should really be ashamed.
A 15 ( almost 16 (October 17) >:O ) year old girl that could produce such a PV. Yeah right.
I don’t own the video or audio. I own this review.
Let’s start.
-First Chorus-
I really want to tell you something,
[21]: It’s an albino Japanese! Nah. It’s an android. Utada laying there singing with all sorts of holographic screens showing sportsmen.
[22]: a mechanical body is being scanned.
This is just the way I am
[23]: the way she is? A passive machine watching screens of sportsmen? A woman wanting to be just like man? I think she means that she is a woman.
Tututuutuu
[24] & [25]: A face and body being scanned. The data going next to the body. This is being viewed by someone, for there are distortions like on a screen. This is a male body. Going by the Eden thing I said at [4] (a deserted city, highly mechanic: Eden for science) , this would be Adam.
I really want to tell you something, but I can’t.
Android Utada again. Notice all of those cables attached to her android body. They remind me of the cables in the intro. I think these are those cables, and they link here to the outside world. The screens show sports and other things like a scary clown.
You make me want to be a man
[28]: an athlete doing the high jump over the stick thing. Yes I know all my gymnastic terms 8D. Those men jump really really high. Such power.
Tutututu
[29]: I think these are the polythingies of a man being scanned or rendered for whatever reasons.
Arguments that have no meaning
[30]: look it’s a bed, of some sort, that Utada is lying on. That thing reminds me of those beds that you have to lay on when getting your brain scanned. Notice the scenery behind her. Technology everywhere. She looks trapped.
[31]: polythings of men running. (yes I know my terms)
[32]: it’s our sperm cell!
This is just the way I am
[33]: the way she is? A passive android woman, that can’t do anything but watch screens of the outside world? No wonder those arguments have no meaning. No wonder she wants to be a man, they seem to have all the fun. No wonder she can’t ‘tell you something’ she’s a woman.
Tututuu
[34]: Our high jumping man. Strong ne?
You really want to tell me something,
But you can’t.
You make me want to be a man
[35]: You really want to tell me something. By this moment, I’m really wondering who the hell she is talking about. Obviously a man, but who?
[36]: But you can’t. She’s trapped, Utada, in this world as a woman.
[37]: You make me want to be a man. Is she scanning herself?
[38]: To be a man?
-End First Chorus-
I think Utada is in the core of the city. Viewing all sorts of images of men and women. She’s scanning the body of men. I think she’s trying to become one herself. Freaky, ne?

~special video review: ‘You Make Me Want To Be A Man’ – Utada.
To celebrate my Exodus purchase. This is a video review of You Make Me Want To Be A Man: the video, analysis and my opinion. God, this will be really hard to analysis, so I won’t be able to go in depth.
My opinion about the song? It’s absolutely stunning. The vocals, the instruments, the beat, the whole thing. ( 9 / 10 )
Foreword/Disclaimer thing: I made all the screenshots myself. I made 196 screenshots of the video in Window Media Player. I really can’t look at the Print Screen button anymore.
I’ve divided my work into several parts. Eight to be exact. So this is 1/8.
The video I used to screenshot was deleted after I was done with this review.
Talking about videos. I HIGHLY recommend you to watch the video while reading this, because I wasn’t able to printscreen everything correctly.
And I’m going to post this in parts. I might post something inbetween. You can find the parts in the Utada Hikaru category.
If someone actually thinks I own the video that I directed it or whatever.
You should really be ashamed.
A 15 ( almost 16 (October 17) >:O ) year old girl that could produce such a PV. Yeah right.
I don’t own the video or audio. I own this review.
Let’s start this.
Keep the title in mind people. ‘You make me want to be a man’. A woman is singing this, so whatever could she mean?
Perhaps she wants to have the phallus?
Perhaps she doesn’t want to be known as the typical ‘housewife’.
Perhaps she’s transsexual, though that’s unlikely.
Perhaps I just should tell you what I think the video tells me.
First there’s a nineteen seconds intro, with various clips shown in a very futuristic setting. If you’re used to the video clip of Hikari or Keep Tryin’, then you’ll probably think: ‘What The Hell?’
When you’ll see Utada, you’ll think: ‘HOLEH CRAP”
But let’s first focus on the intro clips, keeping the name of the song in mind.
Introduction
*tututuututu tutututututuu tutututututuu*
[1]: Pillars or buildings. They’re rather futuristic; they’re immediately setting a sci-fi theme. So, what about the shape of the building, they look rather phallic. I’m just keeping the song title in mind.
[2]: You might not see it, but it’s a rocket launch, that’s just about to launch. Rockets made people able to broaden their horizons and expand your limits. Who made that possible? Men: The human kind with a penis. And because I can’t get my mind out of the gutter, it also could be ejaculation. Like, the orgasm of science. Or not: phallic-ness and stuff.
So, I guess I can say with confidence that these two screenshots already set the theme for the rest of the video. Let’s move on.
At screenshot [3] the shuttle is starting to get off the ground. ORGASM OF SCIEENCCEEEE.
And [4] is a spherized shot of a city. It’s all cramped together and deserted. In the eyes of Science, it would be like Eden.
[5]: the rocket has been launched and is now in space. How amazing, what the men of NASA did.
[6/swirly]: dammit I forgot to number the Gymnastics Girl (but I did add a swirly) Ah well, for this one, I had to look up some information about Gymnastics.
Gymnastics is a sport in which men are allowed to do more, simply because it requires more physical strength. Girls are weaker, so they do less.
[7]: You might not be able to see it. But it’s part of a building in the futuristic city. I think men have made it.
[8]: A male astronaut. This is the guy controlling the huge penis rocket.
[9]: a male gymnastic, doing his thing on whatever it is called in English.
[10]: Utada, with Kanji changing a few times in fractions of seconds. The band is also behind her.
[11]: a passage way
[12]: does the passage way lead to a bigass motor? It looks like the motor is being scanned.
[13]: The shuttle. In its full glory in space, I guess.
[14]: Ah lookie, the man is in space. He’s expanding the limits of human knowledge [= power = money etc]. Man do these things don’t they? Also, if number 3 was an ‘orgasm of science’ than he’s a little sperm cell.
[15]: though you can’t see, there’s something floating by. I think it looks like a human. I secretly believe it’s Utada.
[16]: cables, lots of cables. Futuristic and technologic and sci-fi. The cables are leading to the next picture:
[17]: another machine. And it also looks like it’s being scanned.
[18]: cables, the camera’s moving upwards.
[19]: a room. Like the cables were leading to this. And the room leads to:
[20]: a transition to:
We have finished the introduction and my conclusion is that the video is about Utada trying to be a man (wait, what? Duh?), because they seem to do all great things. Set in a new futuristic world.All the passage ways, seem to lead to the core of the futuristic world: to Utada. In Eden that would be the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. A Superego. A thing only God is supposed to know: what’s good and bad.
