Another point, perhaps the most significant one, is that the Japanese version, when compared with the original, is hugely pared down.

This is true of all Japanese lyrics because Japanese needs so many syllables to say things. All Japanese lyrics are minimal.

A lot of what is different between this and the original is simply that there isn’t enough room.

The Japanese version of the German Bienchen Summ Herum (hachi ga tobu) misses the whole point that bees are busy and harmless, and it’s simply because there ain’t enough space. Japanese is a horribly inefficient language for lyrics.

The views on society are definitely different in Japan than in America. In the US you're encouraged to be different & are praised if you are. Actually, sometimes if you aren't 'special enough' then you're considered somewhat of a failure.
I actually worry about blending in too much.
"Am I boring? Maybe I'm just like every other person out there with nothing special to stand out about myself."
Like Kermit said, "It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky"
...BUT...
"I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be"
