Voilà l'explication du titre original, "Aruitemo, aruitemo" :
"Good to hear from you, Tadanobu.
It means "Even Though I Walk and Walk," or "Although I Walk and Walk."
So it's easy to see how this turns into "Still Walking."
I'd imagine that's the genesis of many titles. It sounds a lot smoother than "Even if I walk," or Although I walk," which would be suitable for an edgy, come-on type of title.
You could take it further and call it "Walking On," or "The Longest Walk," and so on. It could end up almost anywhere! Especially as he's walking quite a bit! You could even call it "Forrest Gump 2."
Here's the breakdown:
"Aruku" means "to walk," (the full verb being "arukimasu," though irrelevant to us here.)
The stem," aruku," morphs into "aruitemo," with the "itemo" suffix meaning "even if."
"+temo," with some variations, can be grafted onto any verb to create the same effect.
Quite economical."
