The hero embraces me
As he slips into Las Vegas
The mirage over the roulette
one night stand, and a family is formed

Scattering crisp dollar bills
Having meals on the open terrace
The modern Siegfried
His transformation belt under the cloak

Being kidnapped
And trapped
Then rescued, fall in love
Look, SOS, dashing into the phone booth
With a striking pose, what a cool person

Ah, justice’s ally is surely the devil’s underling
ringing phone, yes ring ring
Ah, delusion and a questionable kiss mark
Jealousy around the clock, emotions ready to flare
Purity and this swinging heart
Oh dear, I very much want to fall towards you

A life wallowing in money
Locking us in a private room
Discrimination and societal rules
Delicate atrocity

Being passed around
Exchanged
Blamed, one more time
Being hated
Cast away
Picked up, one more time
Being kept in suspense
Kept waiting
Burned, that is LOVE
Viper vs mongoose
Stampede into the temple
The night before the divorced marriage

Ah, battle of the century, proof of blood and tears
The church’s bells go ring ding dong
Ah, the rampage won’t end
Sister C and flirty Mister
Zoroaster surpassing humans
It’s a serious illness, this bleeding heart
I’ll probably always fall towards you

Even so, ah, justice’s ally is surely the devil’s underling

インテリジェンス (Interijensu) – Intelligence

from Joukyou shouko album.

——

Hearing 1 and knowing 10, that power is intelligence
That’s intelligence
Hearing the road and knowing the address, that power is intelligence too
Just intelligence

Hearing a little and knowing everything, that’s intelligence
Amazing intelligence
It should get through to you, intelligence
My intelligence

Erm, it may be too late for me
But I want to be a genius professor
I’ll study all day and night
Will I succeed? With my plain IQ 306

Solving the dilemma during trouble, that’s intelligence
Strong intelligence
Unknowns becoming old knowledge, yes, that’s intelligence
Yeah, intelligence

Yes, I’ll try working hard
Because I want the Nobel Prize
Putting on glasses and a headband
Can I do it? I can do it, right?

Erm, it may be too late for me
But I want to be a genius professor
I’ll study all day and night
Will I succeed? When I’m just IQ 306

ハンサム (Hansamu) – Handsome

from Joukyou shouko album.

——

Must be great to be handsome
You’re the coolest one
So handsome, so handsome
You are so handsome

Turn around and gaze at me
Look look look, what a pretty face
So painful, I’m drowning
Round and round and round, so dizzy

Must be great to be handsome
You’re the coolest one
So handsome, so handsome
So handsome, so handsome, handsome
I like you that way

Chasing and finding you
Hey hey hey, am I a bother?
So dazzling, I’m fascinated
Shine shine shine, a beautiful person

A bound album
Full of your smiling photos
My freshly picked heart of romance
It’s magical, you’re so handsome

Lonesome cowboy
Midnight heels
I have some feelings for my dear
Let’s be gentle
That’s the only rule
So handsome, so handsome
So handsome, so handsome, handsome
I like you that way

So cool, baby
The best in history!
This is (love)
Never going to get enough, baby

It’s alright to be incomplete
But flirting is a no-no!

Must be great to be handsome
You’re the coolest one
So handsome, so handsome
So handsome, so handsome, handsome
I liked you that way

Don’t become an unsteady man
Never going to get enough, baby

Getting on the 8am train, yawn
It’s a yawn-inducing normal monday
Just another day of hard work
Without any chance of new meetings

It’s still early, don’t give up, girl
Every time you sigh, it’s good bye to happiness
On this day, exciting things
Will surely happen

It’s good to feel your heart racing sometimes
It’s good to feel happy sometimes

Rainbow love will surely come true
Rainbow
Rosy love is surely this love
Rainbow love

Well, there’s so much to say
I won’t be able to finish in 3.5 minutes
This and that, blah blah yadda yadda
And I meet you

Haven’t I already given up due to bitter experiences?
Haven’t I had a late start due to carelessness?

What time is it? 9am? 5am? 12am?
Rainbow rainbow
The train ride is an aimless journey again today
Rainbow love

Want to visit Paris in the early summer rain
Want to bunch up my flaxen hair

Rainbow love will surely come true
Rainbow
Rosy love is surely this love
Rainbow love

それってMagic (Sore tte Magic) – That’s Magic

from Joukyou shouko album.

——

Oversleeping feels a little great
Going to fall alseep again, curled into a resting ball
A trap lurking in shallow breaths
Steel eyes wrenching open
On Sunday

Tired of watching stacks of movies
TV is always interesting
Midnight nightmares fly away
Drip drip drip

The smell of baked bread
Sniff sniff, what a great smell
The color of the sky upon waking
Azure, what makes me happy is

The light shining in through the open window
Fluttering about in the dazzle, magic magic

colors reflecting in my sleepy eyes
A story that doesn’t exist anywhere

Alice in the mirror, an enchantress
Speedreading through fairytale dramas
The first notes on a broken piano
Are so disconnected

The smell of baked bread
The sizzling sound of grilling ham
Mixed and sprinkled over cooked rice
With miso soup too?

Before this released arrow reaches its target
Drifting in this closed gap, magic magic
The light shining in through the open window
Dissipates, why can’t I swim in it?

I know what I wanna be
yes, I know what I wanna be

I’m going to Tokyo, to the city
It’s not really something special
Just an isolated journey by myself
An easy gait, talilata
To the airport still out of sight
Soaring to the sky at high speed
Landing at Narita
Tokyo’s a tornado today too
money making people
Money making
many men businessmen
You people are world business satellites
Can’t start out if you can’t get it right from the start
Over the mountains and valleys
I reach Zulu Nation
listen to my voodoo
my name is Shaka Zulu
So much trouble
These language rules
I’m Jack the ripper, I speak
Splatters in my head
A rapper riding on the floating beat
“Interested in party night?”

Bubbling pool and glittering gold
A whole new whole
I long for it

why don’t you think so?

Oops, emergency landing, temporary home
Check that dishonest mouth
Memory flashback
15 16 17 and
My life Kool Herc
Sugar Hill Gang yes
hip hip hop you don’t stop
“That’s right” my mother says
Selfish is my way of life
Oh dear! I’ve said too much
How many kilometres to life’s crossroads?
Live broadcast from the intersection, crossroads
prof.INOUE are you there?
Set it on this soul
Everyone is becoming something
Talking about being the “it girl”
Oh well, that’s that
“Interested in party night?”

Leather boots
Mini skirt on
To the parade with this charade

why don’t you think so?

おとといおいで (Ototoi oide) – Come, day before yesterday

from Kami-sama no kami-sama single + Joukyou shouko album.

——

Hello, can you hear me?

The night I gazed up at the
Floating bubbles disappearing day after day
Even the Milky Way blurring my vision
Seemed to be trembling, how nice

Hello, can you hear me?

Because I can’t talk about it with anyone
I try calling God

If today is not tomorrow, but yesterday
Then tomorrow is today and yesterday is the day before yesterday
Come, day before yesterday, I’m waiting
The boat is resting here
Today is not today
If only, ah, it was that day

Hello, can you hear me?

The night I gazed up at the
Floating bubbles disappearing day after day
Outside the window, beyond the blinds
The city of lights is so beautiful

I don’t need an answer, so may I ask?
I’m going to bed tonight, goodbye

The lullaby that comes with the words “goodnight”
Tomorrow is tomorrow, I am me
As if tomorrow’s wind is blowing
Somehow, it’s done
Today is only today
If only, ah, that is true

If today is not yesterday, but tomorrow
Then yesterday is today and tomorrow is the day after tomorrow
Stirring the helm towards the day after tomorrow
Where will the ship head to?
Today is not today
If only, ah, it was that day
If only, I wish

神様の神様 (Kami-sama no kami-sama) – God’s God

from Kami-sama no kami-sama single + Joukyou shouko album.

——

Just what is happening to this world?
I soar up into the sky
Going round and round the Earth
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
This repeating biorhythm
Somehow seems like an automated washing machine

Yes I’m just spinning around the world
Because I do as I please
spinning around the world
Because I sometimes wish to deliver these impatient feelings

When people ask “How have you been these days?”
“I’m fine thank you” That’s what I’ll say
I’m steadily becoming a braggart, so
Quietly come to me and scold me

Since the time I loved, I’m God

In truth, as you said
The suddenly rising
History just repeats
Beginnings and endings, oh how mysterious
Beauties of Nature, snow, moon, flowers
Going round annd round in seasons
Grasping omniscience and omnipotence

I’m just spinning around the world
Can I just do as I please?
If there’s nothing you desire
Then there’s no meaning, right?

Yes I’m just spinning around the world
Because I do as I please
spinning around the world
Because I sometimes wish to deliver these impatient feelings

Tap tap tapping but undeliverable
Such “I LOVE YOU”s exist too, right?
Knock knock, getting entangled
Miracles will happen for inseparable love

God, it seems like I’m your God
