It's supposedly “one, two, three, five”―though ‘go’ was indeed pronounced like the English one, IIRC. And yes, I've googled all that in variations and with what keywords I could conjure. We're talking advanced loss. Had to exclude Scatman, too―respect to the dude but he's not a Japanese girl.
- teddyh 7y ago> Had to exclude Scatman, too―respect to the dude but he's not a Japanese girl. He was reportedly popular in Japan, so perhaps your remembered song is a derivative or reference to his song “Ichi Ni San… Go!”?
- aasasd 7y agoThat's really stretching the idea, but I did listen to the song back then, and probably the whole album because why not—but nope, no relation. Now, the Princess Superstar's song is uncannily similar, also consisting largely of banter (though with noticeable differences in delivery)—but the Japanese connection eludes me. I, in fact, first discovered ‘Perfect’ randomly and rather recently through a remix, and then listened to all the other versions, and still found no leads. Googled for Japanese covers or sources, for good measure, to no avail.
- teddyh 7y agoDid you try midomi.com or similar sound-based search?
- aasasd 7y agoYup, and I described my experiences with them here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20232444 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20232444 Also, my taste for un-melodicality tends to cause trouble in this department.
