KUROYUME

Kuroyume is a rock band from Gifu, Japan formed in 1991.

There is currently no significant activity since their tour in 2015.

They play visual kei, J-ROCK, alternative metal, and punk.

Their music style varies quite a bit depending on when they were active, but I like them when they were playing punk.

I’ll also introduce some of my favorite songs that can be found on YouTube.

FAKE STAR(English translation of lyrics)

An Obtrusive System Jams the Charts
Count Down

Crushing the buds with seniority
Proud Face

Break out, too Burst
Before I get dyed

Get out, Get up
Get out of there

Fool’s Attention
Money is the key
Priority

Break out, too Burst
On a remote island

Get out, Get up
Plan to take over the world.

I can see through the crazy brainwashing
I’m a fake, a fearless FAKE STAR
If it’s real you’re trying to buy
I’m a FAKE STAR full of lies
FAKESTAR
I’m a FAKE

You just true man
I’m just an imitation
You are (YES MAN)
Do it like a fool

If your old roots are real
I’m a fake, an unpopular FAKE STAR
If you’re good at being a gaijin
I’m a FAKE STAR full of lies
A crazy false image
Don’t be so flippant
I’m a fake, a fearless FAKE STAR
FAKE STAR
I’m just a Japanese FAKE STAR!

BOY (English translation of lyrics)

In this gentle city, a handcuff named MORAL is chewing tasteless gum.
They could hang on my arms.
Baby
A crowd of people pass by, all with the same face.

I want to remove the inconvenience tomorrow, even if I have to
A recluse made fun of me when he saw me hurrying

Sunday
Quietly, because I’m too apathetic to laugh
Myself
That day when I put my palm to my chest

Yes, the door opened faintly
I’ll get out of there
There’s something crazy in this small basement
It’s crazy
Clutching a little wish
The boy believed.
More than anyone’s voice, more than anyone’s dream
To defy
To defy

A very expensive neck chain worn by someone who couldn’t admit it
“Doesn’t look good on you at all.”
“It doesn’t suit you one bit.” I look away and repel him.

Oneday
I was languidly exhaling cigarette smoke.
Someday
I want to be honest and do as I please

Yes, the door was definitely open
I’m not going to look back
This filthy paradise has lost its heart
I’ve lost my mind
The boy is singing to muffle the slightest hint of confusion
More than anyone’s imitation, more than anyone’s words
To doubt
To doubt

Yes, the door opened slightly
I’ll get out of there
There’s something crazy going on in this small basement.
It’s crazy
Holding on to a little wish
The boy believed
More than anyone’s voice, more than anyone’s dream
To defy
To defy
To defy
To defy
Boy!

The boy believed.
The boy is dreaming
The boy was singing
He’s always singing

And he’ll always sing
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
And on and on and on
And on and on and on
