ZAZEN BOYS

Alternative Rock

・Overview & Author’s personal opinion

Formed in 2003 with Shutoku Mukai, formerly of Number Girl, at the center.

The members’ strong personalities clash with each other, and the freaky sound that emerges from this clash continues to evolve with each album.

The band’s self-styled hip-hop with no hesitation, chillingly strong beats, and steel-like funk strumming cut the listener in two with a single stroke.

Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm!

Rhythm anyway!

Cool guitar riffs!

I love it!

Honnoji

Waiting at Honnoji

Waiting at Honnoji for ever and ever and ever

TAXI

Go to the woods.

They're waiting for me

TAXI, go to the woods

A series of bones scattered in a graveyard

A very long history of swimming

Waiting in line for pork miso soup at a soup kitchen

The arrival of the UFO

How many years until the next one comes

10 years ago

Collapse of the time line

The next one will come in 100 years

Until then, I'm waiting.

Waiting at Honnoji...

Stooping over, looking at the microcosm on the balcony

standing on my head and looking up to the heavens

exhaling the fumes of my cigarettes

the neon sign of a pharmaceutical company disappears at 10 p.m.

a helicopter still circling at the stroke of midnight

the flashing red lights of processing trucks that have crashed into on-street parking

The street lights on the national highway turn orange

The flutter of summer insects gathering

Night begins

I begin to ask questions

I talk openly to myself

The night begins

Waiting for me at Honnoji...

Life

Life in the water

Life in the cold water

Waiting at Honnoji...

Waiting at Honnoji, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting...

Waiting at Honnoji...
RIFF MAN

Rising Inferiority

Drifting emotions

The real image of oneself that emerges

a soundscape that beats and riffs

a collection of riffs and riffs

Emotions drifting adrift in a torrent

searching for

the true nature of the impulse

coming to the surface

the true nature of impulse

the inferiority complex rises up and the real image of oneself emerges

in the audiovisual room of my brain

pa,pa,pa,pa

all kinds of things come out of my head

shadows and images in my eyeballs

a hazy feeling that I recall momentarily

Shadows and images that come to the surface

Shadows and images

rising dragon

leaping out of the shadows

Rising dragon

Rising dragon

Ascending Dragon

Self-consciousness defense shattered

Shooting a point, now clearly visible sound field

the real image of oneself appearing in the inner field of the brain world

the ascending dragon that pops out

Riffs and riffs that beat

Rising dragon leaping out of your ears

Rising dragons leaping out of your ears

Rising dragons popping out of my ears
ポテトサラダ / potato salad

I want a bowl full of potato salad

I want a bowl full of potato salad

I want a bowl full of potato salad

I want a bowl full of potato salad

I want to go to some deserted provincial town

I want to walk into a bar in front of a train station and order something without hesitation

I want to order a bowl full of potato salad

After that, I want to hang out with someone.

I want to eat a bowl full of shijimi soup.

I especially want it the morning after a night of drinking.

I want to drink Junmai sake with Shijimi clam soup as a side dish.

I want a bowl full of shijimi clam soup!

I want to eat

I want a bowl full of potato salad

I want a bowl full of potato salad

I want to land quietly in a dark town in some deserted provincial city, and have a little chat with someone somewhere

I want to go into a bar and order a bowl full of potato salad.

And after that, I'm gonna have a little getaway with someone.

And then I'm gonna go hang out with somebody somewhere.

Ordering a bowl full of potato salad

I want to drink whiskey and ginjo-shu with it as a side dish

I want to eat a bowl full of potato salad

I want to eat a platter full of crabs

I want to live on the surface of the North Sea

I want a bowl full of potato salad

I want a bowl full of potato salad
