[konohamaru-sensei]

forgot I was tagged by @akamikazae until I saw @lemony-snickers's post about it. so the top 5 songs for me lately.

Tatsuya Kitani - プラネテス / Two drifters (if I don't scream sing the bridge I am probably dead)

AJR - Yes I'm a mess (i started listening to this because of sousei akabane and havent stopped in the last 3 months LOL I COULD HATE MY GUTS WHEN THE SUN COMES UP BUT I LIKE MYSELF LIKE THISS)

Tatsuya Kitani - 私か明日死ぬなら/ Promise me (i want to cry each time i listen to it, seriously he has the english translation on his youtube channel please watch it. the title in japanese is "if i died tomorrow")

Hozier - Talk (I'm in a mood)

Tatsuya Kitani - ずうっといっしょ！/ Always together XD (oh i have many feelings so many feelings. so many feelings. especially about the line 共に過ごした日々が (the days we spent together), ささやかな幸せが (the small happiness we shared), かけがえのないトラウマになってたらいいな (I hope they are becoming a precious trauma for you). UGH.)

also special mention of プランA of Dish because its so fun and I enjoy the elusive samurai this anime season.

I forgot how badass the freak on a leash video was. I have gotten swallowed by a ton of early 2000's songs this morning.

[sundial-girl]

YEAG him being a cat is why he has a pet cat named tami in my hcs im always ready to dump my hcs about them actually theyre so silly... also fun fact they use jibun and boku in the song [boku gives masc vibes + jibun is male] but calls themselves a heroine. teniwoha giving us another trans character after azuru and renri/pos

Takahashi Yoh posted a new "song" on his side channel, called "Twit......ter......? Ah, you mean """X"""?". It was made in response to him subscribing to "Twitter Blue" (Is that what it's called?) and, thus, accepting his role as Elon's "dog" LMAO. Despite it's length and topic, the song is still really good!

I figured I might start making posts about any new song that manbo-p posts, as a way of keeping this blog a bit more active and not focused on 10 year old posts LOL

Original lyrics + translated lyrics under cut!

Original lyrics:

Xの収益化通ったので イーロン様の犬になりました

(完全最高SNS """X""") (完全最高SNS """X""")

Xが暮らしの中にある 喜びを日々噛み締めてます

(完全最高SNS """X""") (完全最高SNS """X""")

さえずるな Xを今受け入れろ イーロン様より賜りし

(完全最高SNS """X""")

諦めろ 資本にひれ伏せ愚民ども

「こいつこれで金貰ってんだ」って目で 俺のエックセズを見てくれ

-----

Translated lyrics (translatiob by me):

My X monetization has been accepted, and so I've become Lord Elon's dog

(The very best SNS*, """X""") (The very best SNS, """X""")

I revel in the joy of having X in my life everyday

(The very best SNS, """X""") (The very best SNS, """X""")

Don't be a fool and embrace X, it's a gift from Lord Elon to you

(The very best SNS, """X""")

Give it up, you fools, bowing down to capitalism

Look at my checkmark** and think, "I can't believe this guy is paying for this"

------

*SNS = Social Networking Site **The original song says "Look at my X's", but I figured saying checkmark would be more understandable. The lyric as a whole is a reference to the current trend of people making fun of Twitter Blue subscribers for "paying for a free site".

Akuma

Macaroom, Swimming Classroom (2018)

Genre: Electropop, trip hop, organic electronica, "future memories" Feel: Peaceful, industrial, adorable, ethereal, a little penetrating (if you're into that), Japanese as hell, artsy as fuck

When to Listen

You'd listen to Fiona Apple but that's a little intense right now.

You'd listen to industrial but that's a little intense right now.

It's a gorgeous day out and you'd like the feeling of warm sun on your face but that's a little intense right now.

A road trip during that lull where hype music is a little intense right now.

Why I Deem This Song Toasty

The Artsiness Factor

macaroom is weird.

And way cooler than me.

According to their Bandcamp:

macaroom is a Japanese electro-pop band founded by vocalist emaru and composer Asahi. macaroom makes and plays pop music adopted from “phonelyrics”, studied by Asahi. This relates to the sound function of words. The band also worked on a project to transform one of John Cage’s works into pop. 

What are phonelyrics? How do you transform John Cage into pop?

[nicnacsnonsense]

I am used to being able to put on a song that I haven’t listened to in 10 years and being able to sing along with all the words as if not a day has passed, but it’s a little weirder when the song in question is in Japanese, a language I do not speak.
