・Overview & Author’s personal opinion
Poet, singer, painter, bicycle racing enthusiast, essayist, actor, drinker, expressionist.
An artist who miraculously embodies the romance of the unsuspecting poet in a time when it is often forgotten to live a truly independent life.
When I listen to his music, I feel a shock, like I’ve been punched in the face.
His songs seem to be in direct opposition to the state of modern Japan, which tends to fall into a “it’s safe to do it this way” mentality.
It’s just cool.
This is the kind of adult I want to be.

生きてるって言ってみろ(IKITERUTTEITTEMIRO) / Alive! walking with a badly soiled hand towel around his waist You're not even a dead man. I stop in front of my house and push the door with determination You're not in hell. Tell me you're alive Tell me you're alive Tell me you're alive Loneliness, tenderness, bitterness are the melodrama of this world It's not a slaughterhouse hippie hootenanny, the child of beggars immersed in the joy of despair You're not a cripple Tell me you're alive Tell me you're alive Tell me you're alive with dreams and reality hanging in the air, tears and loneliness as your partner You're not even a cockerel long hair Mannerism Innocence where's the root of your thick roots? You're not a tombstone. Tell me you're alive! Say I'm alive Say I'm alive
トドを殺すな (TODO WO KOROSUNA) / Don't kill Steller's sea lion. Singing to poor Steller's sea lions and poor humans Animals who live through the blue of Hokkaido's sky and sea If they're useful, they're good If they're not useful, they're evil Who said no? Don't kill the Steller's sea lion Don't kill the Steller's sea lion. We're all Steller's sea lions. Hey! Don't shoot. Hey! Don't shoot. Hey, hey! Don't shoot me. Busy housewives watched the TV carefully, wondering how many Steller's sea lions they'd killed today. The man was taller than he was, and he never looked up. The child's face turned the color of concrete. A dream is just a dream A dream A dream Don't kill the Steller's sea lion Don't kill the lion We're all Steller's sea lions. Hey! Don't shoot. Hey! Don't shoot. Hey! Hey! Don't shoot me. Hey, you! Don't shoot me.
一切合財世も末だ (ISSAIGASSAI YOMOSUEDA) / It's the end of the world for all of us. I saw a big red dog in despair. The dog was accompanied by a human child and they were going towards the mountains. His face was panting and shaking, sometimes it looked as if he was laughing. A life born with a flop, flop, flop A life that died out with a clunk, clunk, clunk. No matter how many times spring comes, flowers bloom, mountains and rivers become precious and moist They're all so worthless I'd like to put a lead bullet in them It's the end of the world, the end of everything The despairing dogs are actually blue skies, only their ideas are filled with darkness not even a dream in hand to defend or to attack only the progress is powerfully told It's a life born in a trickle, a trickle A life that died out with a clank, clank, clank Don't tell me why it's flowing, let me try something You're nothing if you're just standing there worn out like a cog in a wheel It's the end of the world, the end of everything There are times when I wish I could fall asleep to a despairing dog The day I recognize the weight of the sky and carry it with me, the only thing that comes to mind is the house of my birth the road leads to the blizzard sky It's a life born in a pokari-pokari. It's the life that died out with a click, click, click The leaves of the eight-armed leaf fall down, weeping at the bright voice There is no evil or justice It's about which one you're afraid of It's the end of the world for all of us Home It's an abandoned dream Home Abandoned dream
