・Overview & Author’s personal opinion
Gesu no Kiwami Otome is a Japanese four-member band formed in 2013.
They blend various musical styles such as pop, rock, and electronica into their unique sound.
Their lyrics are characterized by a cynical perspective, often addressing societal issues and relationships.
With distinctive melodies and innovative arrangements, their songs stand out.
The vocals of Enon Kawatani and the ironic lyrics are particularly striking features.
Having several hit songs, each member also engages in diverse activities. The band is recognized as a notable presence in the Japanese music scene.
A lot of the songs have a very stylish feel to them, and it makes my old ass squirm, but that’s also the beauty of this band.

私以外私じゃないの (WATASHI IGAI WATASHIJANAINO) / I'm the only one who's not me. It's not me except me I've cried over and over again with a dull face I lived a life of ceaselessness over and over again today Every time I look forward to a better tomorrow I hid today behind the mirror I blinked and blinked and blinked again and again, easily upset by my changing heart But surprisingly, the moment I meditate on it I realized that tomorrow was not so bad. I'm the only one who's not me. Of course I am. So I'm trying to sort out my feelings of unrequited love... and live with them. Isn't that normal? I heard someone's voice, someone who thought they'd come out of their shell. But I'm not there anymore. Why don't you be me? Hey. You want to be me, don't you? I've let myself go up in smoke with words I can't even say out loud I'm too ashamed to say it I'm ashamed to say it, but if I weave together what only I can protect... Maybe it's not so bad after all. I'm the only one who's not me. It's only natural. That's why I want to live my life, sorting out my unrequited feelings I'm the only one who's me. No one can replace me. I took today out of my life, so I wouldn't run away from it, and I threw it into tomorrow, and I opened my eyes. No one is me but me. And apparently, neither are you. We turned our backs to each other and said, "I guess that means no one can replace me." So I'm not afraid anymore. I'll wait until after midnight. I'm trying to sort through all the unrequited feelings I have today, and I'm wishing I was still alive. I inhale.
両成敗でいいじゃない (RYOUDEIBAIDEIIJANAI) / It takes two to make a quarrel I don't blame you if you don't want to admit defeat. If you won't make the effort to turn the tables, so be it. You're so good at sucking the top of the barrel of belief and laughing at it. I can't win with you. You're always harping on about something, aren't you? I'll stop fighting, and we'll talk about it in the gentler half of my head. I've made up my mind. You and I both lose. It takes two to make a quarrel It just won't stop. It's mind-boggling, isn't it? It takes two to make a quarrel It's comedic, it's serious. It doesn't make a difference. Good and evil are no different. The word "data-processed" shouldn't even be in the air. You know, you're always harping on about something, but... But I'm done. Let's talk about it in a kinder, gentler half of your head. Yes, you and I both lose It takes two to make a quarrel It just won't stop. It's mind-boggling, isn't it? It takes two to make a quarrel won't stop Comedy at first glance, but then I got serious. It takes two to make a quarrel won't stop It's never going to stop. I know, it's mind-boggling It takes two to make a quarrel won't end I don't want tragic stories in this song It takes two to make a quarrel won't stop It just won't stop It takes two to make a quarrel It just won't stop It's just mind boggling, isn't it? It takes two to make a quarrel won't stop I know it seems comedic, but isn't it better to like it than to think about it too hard? You don't have to like it It takes two to make a quarrel
キラーボール / KILLER BALL I'll say it as many times as I have to. The black stuff dancing inside you Oh, I hate the look on your face as if you're trying to hide it Fictitious days of dancing to the unimportant TV news Oh, those shitty nights go around with a killer ball La-la-la-la-la-la-la. It's just like they say. La-la-la-la-la-la-la. Just like it always is. La-la-la-la-la-la. Why don't we dance? You'll just lie again and cry for nothing, and tomorrow will be just as tiring as today. I just found out If you don't stop dancing while the killer ball is spinning, no one will get hurt I was so tired of dancing that I went to that girl's house at 5:00 in the morning. I went to her house at 5:00 in the morning. Then you came up to me with tears in your eyes. I hugged you and said, "Are you always like this? Are you always like this? While you loved me And then I started to hate you. And as they loved me I hated him more and more. I'll just lie again, cry for nothing, and tomorrow will be just like today in this tired world I just found out If I don't stop dancing while the killer ball is spinning, no one will get hurt Dance with the sirens of the killer ball and the eyes of the cold ones Tonight... La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. I'll say it as many times as I can The black thing dancing inside you Oh, I hate the look on your face as if you're trying to hide it and you're just fine Dancing to the unimportant TV news every imaginary day Oh, such a shitty night goes around with a killer ball I'm gonna lie again and cry for nothing, and tomorrow I'll be back in the same tired world I'm in today I just figured it out. If you don't stop dancing while the killer ball is spinning, no one gets hurt. I'll do it over and over again The siren of the killer ball Dance with the eyes of the cold ones Tonight, too, la-la-la-la-la
