<div>OK Roland - I'm going to bow to your superior knowledge. My Shimazu entry will be corrected forthwith to From Love to Love.</div> <div> </div> <div>I feel that is probably better than using the inaccurate-sounding TV release title, which I'd stick with only if it had been specifically applied to the Shimazu film itself.</div> <div> </div> <div>ALEX<BR></div> <div><BR><B><I>Roland Domenig <roland.domenig@univie.ac.at></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">yori can have different meanings: (1) from; out of; since; than; (2) other than; (3) more; (4) more than.<BR><BR>Alex, I still have reservations against your interpretation of the title. My feeling is that the yori in "Ai yori ai e" has a different meaning than the yori in "Koi yori butai e". The former I'd say corresponds to (1), the latter to (3) or (4). I doubt that in the 1930s the term "ai"
was used to refer to the love to one's family, especially the parents - that would have been "kô" or "oyakôkô" (filial piety). <BR><BR>Michael, Minako in the film works as a so-called jokyû, which can be translated waitress or hostess. <BR><BR>Roland <BR><BR><BR>-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-----<BR>Von: owner-KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu im Auftrag von Alexander Jacoby<BR>Gesendet: So 25.02.2007 23:52<BR>An: KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu<BR>Betreff: Re: AW: Shimazu title translation<BR><BR>I don't know - I am still inclined to think that "Love Before Love" is OK in the sense of "Putting [One] Love Before [Another] Love".
