・Overview & Author’s personal opinion
THE YELLOW MONKEY was formed in 1988 and disbanded on July 7, 2004, after announcing their suspension on January 8, 2001.
They were later reunited on January 8, 2016.
They are a Japanese monster rock band that has sold over 10 million CDs since their debut, including singles and albums.
Each member of THE YELLOW MONKEY has a nickname.
The band’s appeal lies in the prose-like lyrics that vocalist Yoshii writes, the band’s ability to perform backed by solid skills, and above all, the fact that all members are tall and stylish.
It is rare to see a Japanese person dressed like a stereotypical rock star and looking good doing it.

球根(kyu-kon)/(plant) bulb Hair Palm of the Hand The light of love Sparser than a dream, lonely heat Ah I can't be forgiven No one can please me If you bloom, I'll dig a hole The world was about to break Now, in the meteor-like rain I tied your body tight with mine Night cries the staccato of life Wait in the soil, bulb of life Let your sadness grow roots No This bright red passion dyed us both To die or to live, that's all that matters The world has turned into a mess But I'm sprinkling the water of hope, Fu Fu We tied our bodies tightly together In eternity, the staccato of life Ah Wait in the soil, bulb of life Let your roots grow in your soul Bloom... Flower. Flower. Flower flower
天国旅行(Tengoku ryokou)/trip to heaven I want to be so nostalgic I want to cry. I'm going on a trip to heaven on a cramped bed train Goodbye to my dirty heart and this world I don't need all the kind love now I don't care if it's a fake peace The VCR in my fading consciousness is spinning I'm a lark chirping poppy petals I'm a lonely horsetail Ah, I want to remember as much as I can and play The painful things, the happy things, the things we loved each other like crazy I don't mind getting as dirty as I can I can't die laughing, because I can't The sound of the sea roar Beyond the clear skies The wind blowing there, the smell of the time The tide is rising, from our knees to our shoulders Beyond the pain, it becomes joy My body's falling apart, I'm melting and laying around I like heaven, I'm happy Body falling apart Body falling apart Body falling apart, body falling apart Horsetail
