Episode 176 : It's Goin' Down...

"I AM"

- Chuck D

Hope you've had a good start to 2024! While it's been a bit bumpy over here, the selection on the first episode of the year is strong from start to finish. If you know every single one of these tracks already...we should probably have a chat as you clearly have an ear for the good stuff!

Playlist/Notes

Organized Noize ft. Big Boi, Big Rube, Sleepy Brown, and Cee-Lo : We The Ones

A very fortunate find during a recent digging expedition, I didn't even know that the "Organized Noize EP" existed until I had it in my hands. Looking around on Discogs, it seems that it was a limited release in 2017 of 500 copies, on fiery orange vinyl and with a fantastic cover. Apparently twenty years in the making - probably because the production team behind OutKast, Goodie Mob, and more were kind of busy - it's a quality seven-song collection that you can now also get digitally! I heard a few seconds of this track at the listening post and it was the one that convinced me to buy the record, a musically-stirring and always-relevant and timely call to stand up and fight against oppression.

Orbital : Adnan's

This industrial-sounding track from the 1996 "In Sides" album was an extended version of a song they contributed to the 1995 "War Child" charity LP, and was named after a young boy who was killed by a missile during the war in the former Yugoslavia. Paul Hartnoll of Orbital broke this, and the rest of the album, down in a way only one of the creators could - so I'll link you to his own words.

Sepalot ft. Blu : Surrender

I've heard the instrumental of this many a time and had actually forgotten that there even was a vocal version! The beat went down well on the most recent #BeatsOnly show on my Twitch channel, so I thought I'd bring it out on this episode. The angular production from German producer Sepalot lurches, twitches, and squelches, with Blu fittingly being a bit more aggro lyrically than you might have expected from some of his better-known work. I have this on the B-side of a 12" headed up by "She Likes Me" with Frank Nitty, but you can also find it on the 2014 "Red Handed" LP.

Jigmastas ft. Shabaam Saadique : Too Ill

Does what it says on the tin! DJ Spinna on production on this track with the dramatic backing, courtesy of a well-known old TV show sample, while the processing on the vocals makes it sound like weak MCs are being admonished over the phone! By the way, the spelling of Shabaam's name is different than what I've seen on previous releases, but as it's written this way on this album ("Resurgence") I'm taking that as being correct unless/until I find out otherwise.

Public Enemy : Louder Than A Bomb

A classic from what is often said to be the greatest Hip-Hop album of all time, "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" (lot of text to write on a cassette label btw). Those who follow me know I'll sometimes refer to the more grimy records as "not calling for the building of a new nation or anything" but this track literally does! Chuck D will always be the first name that comes to mind when pro-Black, politically-driven Hip-Hop is mentioned, and this is just one of his outstanding vocal performances. Bomb Squad on production of course, with a hard-hitting track that would dominate most other MCs, even now. Sonically, you might notice that the sound is busy but not "thick" - if it was made nowadays, I suspect it'd be mixed with a lot more bass, not to mention built with more high-fidelity samplers. Would that have been "better"? Hard to say, but this is revolutionary in all senses regardless. 

Bumpy Knuckles & DJ Premier : B.A.P. (Bumpy and Premier)

For those of more gentle dispositions, you may as well skip to the next track! Otherwise, this is quintessential boom-bap rawness, courtesy of DJ Premier - one of the finest exponents of the style - and fellow Gang Starr Foundation MC Bumpy Knuckles. Wicked track from the "KoleXXXion" LP, where Bumpy starts each verse with the same four bars, before raining fire on snakes, suckers, and studio gangstas over the rugged beat. No sir, Bumpy did not fall off, not even a little.

Stro Elliot : Miles Funk

I may have been late getting on the Stro Elliot train, only hearing his stuff in the last three years or so, but now I'm firmly on board and settled with a book and some snacks. The drums are cracking and merciless on this track from his 2016 eponymous LP, and they lead the way for the bassline and funky guitar to do what they do. Definitely check the album - it's really excellent work.

Dubbul O & Jointhedots : Life:Mics

A great new Manchester release to open the year! You should already know that Dubbul O is one of my favourite MCs from any coast or territory, while the excellent Jointhedots have been holding it down in fine style since most of the members were part of the best-known lineup of The Mouse Outfit. The most special feature on this track is the guitar of the much-missed Phil Ratcliffe, who sadly passed away in 2022, and whose family will continue to benefit from any posthumous releases. Coming together over the peak of the COVID restrictions, this track started when bassist/bandleader/producer Defty sent beats around Manchester for musicians to add their own touches to. As well as Phil Ratcliffe, the flautist Dr Claire Press got busy on here - you may remember her memorable work alongside Dubbul O again on "Never Get Enough" all the way back in 2012! Flavourful and polished music as always from this collective, and worthy of your support.

New Sector Movements ft. Allysha Joy : These Times

Neither of these artists were on my radar previously, so it was a big bonus when First Word Records included this cut on the "Two Syllables Volume Twenty" compilation! As it turns out, New Sector Movements is actually an alias of IG Culture, a UK stalwart respected for his work as part of Dodge City Productions, and of course he shows the deft touch of a veteran on the music here. The vocals are carried by the powerful voice of Australian songstress Allysha Joy, who started singing as a youngster in the church and you can hear the influence very much still with her! This track in full is actually about six minutes long, so if you like what you're hearing, you know what to do...

Common : The Movement

I'll have you know that I did actually mix this in bang-on, but J Dilla decided to go all the way weird with the timing and drum placement at the start, to the point I almost re-ripped the tune from the "2K6 : The Tracks" CD to be sure! This one had somehow escaped me on first listen, but it's got that electronic sound that was increasingly a feature of Dilla's late work, with that edginess contrasting with Common's smooth and familiar voice.

Actual Proof ft. TP : Show You The Way

North Carolina in the house, with Actual Proof (Enigma and Sundown) linking with guest TP (who I don't know much about) for a 9th Wonder-produced track that sounds very different than the intro might lead you to expect. Lyrically, in places it almost comes off as a rougher, less civilised take on "Mind Sex" by dead prez, blended with some of that LL Cool J - in attitude, if not in flow! Track down the 2012 "Black Boy Radio" LP for this one.

Mecca:83, Buscrates, and J Vibes : Amber Hue

Such warm vibes emanate from this 2019 composition, with Macclesfield, Pittsburgh, and Aarhus (Denmark) in collaboration. I don't know who did what, but the final result is a thing of beauty!

Tall Black Guy, Craig Mack : Flavor In Ya Ear Remix

The original beat by Easy Mo Bee is one of the greatest in Hip-Hop history in my opinion, so it takes a brave man to put his production in its place - and right here, Tall Black Guy is that man! Tough drums and a relatively simple bassline provide the structure for some spaced-out touches and soul vocal sampling to undergird TBG's take on one of the all-time great posse cuts.

1773 & Strange Soul Music : Dialed In

Manchester's Strange Soul Music is a fearsome producer, the man no-one wanted to face in last year's WORKINONIT beat battle! He's been putting in that work for years and this is from one of his latest releases, "The Strange Soul Project" a seven-track collaboration with Chicago MCs Jay Nagoma and Wisdm Uno. Themed around a method of internet access that might be unfamiliar to the younger listeners, this is a brief, but strong, opener to the project.

Clear Soul Forces : Nine 5ive

It's a shame that the 2020 "ForcesWithYou" LP is ostensibly the last from this Detroit crew - their stuff has always been energetically high-quality. Ilajide on the beat of course, while on the mic, CSF reference everything/one from Busta Rhymes to Mortal Kombat via George Washington Carver in a track that lasts well under three minutes. May the force be with them, indeed.

Heather B : Steady Rockin'

Straight-ahead Hip-Hop, with the commanding voice and bars of Heather B over the boom-bap production of DJ Premier. Vocalist Twyla adds a little sugar to the hook, but the rest of this track from 2002's "Eternal Affairs" is pretty much as stripped-down as you can get.

Khrysis : The Devil Wears Designer (Instrumental)

North Carolina representing again here, with a groove borrowing clearly from a classic soul record on this instrumental from "The Hour Of Khrysis".

DJ 2-Tone Jones ft. Prince Po, Asheru, Joe.D and yU : Not Down

I've always thought that one of the most important inflection points in the culture was when our ability to self-police was countered by the epithet "playa hater", which nowadays is more likely to take the form of "but he getting the bag tho". This call to arms from the "Contraband From India" LP features real MCs with real commitment letting us know that the leeches, the culture vultures, exploitative corporate interests of various shapes, and everyone else taking away from the culture rather than adding on need to be ejected. The production is not minimal as such, but well-spaced, with the sparse drum pattern and Indian string samples avoiding a situation where the instrumental ends up fighting the MCs for the spotlight, which is critical when what they're saying is of actual importance.

Please remember to support the artists you like! The purpose of putting the podcast out and providing the full tracklist is to try and give some light, so do use the songs on each episode as a starting point to search out more material. If you have Spotify in your country it's a great way to explore, but otherwise there's always Youtube and the like. Seeing your favourite artists live is the best way to put money in their pockets, and buy the vinyl/CDs/downloads of the stuff you like the most!

Yakushimaru Hiroko Lyrics: Woman “W no Higeki” Yori (Woman "Wの悲劇"より; ~ From “Tragedy in W”)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

Don’t leave. Stay here with me I cross my arms by the window Where stars fall like snow How lovely

If you’re going to say you could never love me, Then I don’t mind being friends I put on a brave face, but my voice Trembles...

Oh, here I am on a boat crossing the river of time Adrift without oars As I lie there, fragments of stars pile up On my hair, on my chest

I don’t mind if I catch fire in an instant And burn until I’m nothing more than ashes Don’t chide me now For being selfish...

Oh, here I am on a boat crossing the river of time Adrift without oars I stare back at you tenderly A town where the stars fall, where there’s only you and me

Don’t leave. Stay here with me I’ll be nice and quiet Stay here until the morning sun shines on us, at least I wanna keep laying eyes On your face as you sleep

ROMAJI

前回のダンスホールの内容が正直あまりにも不甲斐ない内容で、彼女に情報提供をした日本人の方々もただ自分のプロモーションで、日本のダンスホールの歴史をしっかり伝える気がない様に感じられてしまう光景を目の当たりにし、また島国意識のエゴと考え方に少し残念な気持ちになっていたので、ドイツの人達にちゃんとした歴史と内容を伝えるMessangerとして、今回 Roots & cultureの回という事で、少しではありますが彼女に協力をさせて頂きました。 誰が日本のダブの最重要人物であるか、その人をしっかり調べて、ちゃんと表紙にして下さいと彼女には伝えました。 今1番ホットな若手から、この人達がいなかったら日本のダブのカルチャー、バンドは存在しなかったアーティスト、バンドの名前を提供しました。 最終的に選曲等は彼女が決めました。 新旧混合、アンダーグラウンドからポップまで。 個人的にはもっとメンションしてほしいアーティストがいっぱいいたのですが、今回はこんな感じの内容になりました。 もし、お時間ある方は聞いてみて下さい。 Monday, 6pm Berlin time on ByteFM!!! After taking a look at Japan's pulsating Ragga- & Dancehall-Scene in part one, we'll turn to the calmer but none less powerful sounds of #Roots and #Dub in part two. This edition of #ForwardTheBass will introduce to you important veterans such as #Fishmans, DRY&HEAVY, #AudioActive, OKI DUB AINU BAND, #LittleTempo and Mighty Massa, who produces fine music until today. But also younger producers like Dub Kazman / Rough Signal Records JPN or Hondub Hiroaki and the bands #YOUTHofROOTS , #Homegrown and #OisoRockers contribute some bass-heavy listening examples. The show also presents solo-artists such as #ShandiI, Yugo Taguchi, Spinna B-ILL, melodica-player Jah93/苔-koke-DUB as well as a saccharine cover-version of singer #Miko and Ragga-MC #RudebwoyFace . An exotic sonic pleasure, not only for Reggae- & Dub-Fans! https://www.byte.fm/.../18/laenderspecial-japan-teil-2/ #bytefm #onlineradio #online #radio #japanreggae #japandub #dubjapan #reggaejapan https://www.instagram.com/p/CTMgsSGs7MG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Episode 149 : Twists & Turns

"We set out on our travels, we do the best we can..."

- Mos

The autumn is firmly with us here in the UK, but spending even more time in the house means more time to dig through interesting picks for the show! This month we've got some serious old classics alongside a good chunk of new Manchester music, and a flow that takes some unexpected turns but should have you fully mellow by the end of the hour. Hook up your sound system of choice and enjoy the ride...

As promised, here's the link to buy one of the last few tickets to see Ras Kass and Big Noyd on November 19th, where I'll be spinning some tunes myself on the warmup!

Twitter : @airadam13

Twitch : @airadam13

Playlist/Notes

Freak L ft. Tray Bag MC : Line For Line

This is an MC I'm light on facts for - he released two 12" singles in 87/88, and that seems to be the end of his recorded output. However, it's about quality and not quantity and the "Line For Line/When The Pen Hits The Paper" single is a great one to have for lovers of the first golden era. Vandy C is on production with the mix handled by the late great Paul C, and Freak L kicks rhymes in a vintage but polished style. 

DJ Spinna : Urgent

Tucked away on the B-side of the "DJ Song" 12" with Ticklah, this is a jazzy instrumental I thought was worth sharing - and one that goes to show that Spinna, who is well known for the squelchy basslines as well as excellent house production, can flip pretty much any style you want.

N.O.R.E ft. Bumpy Knuckles : Thiz Iz Hip Hop

We start the section off with the aggression on 10, with a selection from the appropriately named "Crack On Steroids" mixtape - one which I think passed quite a few people by! You can't front on this track though, with a killer three-borough combination - Noreaga from Queens and Bumpy from Long Island bringing the straight gutter lyrics, and DJ Premier repping Brooklyn on production with his patented boom-bap style. 

J-Live : Get Live

If you've been lucky enough to see this man live (there's that word again), you may have seen him MCing and DJing at the same time, a rare skill. This isn't that, but he does self-produce this cut alongside the rest of the "Always Will Be" EP - all I need now is to find out he did the cover art as well! 

Ill Camille ft. Brevi : All I Know

Inland Empire's Ill Camille comes through with the heavy co-sign from a certified Cali legend, Battlecat on the beat! She takes an autobiographical approach on this tune from "The Pre-Write", which is somehow already ten years old, describing her quest to rock mics - mission accomplished. Brevi does a good job with the hook and additional vocals, giving you an uplifting breather between Cam's verses.

Mos Def : Habitat

I hadn't heard this for ages and completely forgot how much I've always loved this track! "Black on Both Sides" is an album I actually don't play very often, but this was an early standout for me the first time I heard it back in 1999. Everyone has a story of the place they come from, and while Mos specifically describes his upbringing in Brooklyn, this is really a song for everyone and the place you might call home - either because that's where you come from, or because you've made it one. DJ Etch A Sketch only has a few production credits, but absolutely knocked this one out of the park - bumping and cheerful in a way that's difficult for many to execute.

The Detroit Experiment : Highest

The 2003 eponymous album by this group is a real meeting of the minds, all great Detroit musicians - Carl Craig, Bennie Maupin, Marcus Belgrave, Regina Carter, and the late Geri Allen. It's a mix of jazz and electronic styles that's well worth checking out, and this track shows just one face; a cool, late-night bump that builds with element after element before taking you down easy at the end. Carl Craig and Karriem Riggins did their thing on this cut.

Organized Konfusion : Late Night Action

The "Soul In The Hole" soundtrack on Loud had quite the collection of great tracks - not all of which actually appeared in the film - and this is one well worth a re-visit. OK (Pharaohe Monch and Prince Po) produce this one as well as lacing the mic, and the guests Boku Rule and Cairo work hard to keep up their end of the workload!

Gang Starr ft. G-Dep and Shiggy Sha : The Mall

This is one of those tracks it feels like most people just do not like - but I've always enjoyed it since the first listen! A guest-heavy outing from the "Moment Of Truth" LP, it's not until the final verse that Guru touches the mic - but all the MCs have fun with their rhymes around hitting the shops and getting fly. DJ Premier is of course on production, and caps things off with a deft cut-in of a lyric you may recognise during the hook...

Omas : Eat To The Beat

It's been a very long time coming, but we finally have the first full-length solo project from Manchester's Omas, better known to many as DJ and producer for The Natural Curriculum, or as 1/3 of the At Large crew. He's a man who digs in the crates heavy and is always working on something, whether on the MPC or on the wheels, and it's great to hear a whole LP of his uncut ideas. "Plying Trade" has only recently been released, so if you're quick you might be able to get one of the remaining vinyl copies!

Dubbul O & Jointhedots : What Ya Missin'

Manchester for a second straight track; this is probably the release I've enjoyed the most in the past month, with artists who have consistently delivered the goods coming through once again! Episode 118 guest Dubbul O, one of my favourite MCs, comes together with Jointhedots, a new band headed up by producer/bassist/bandleader Defty, whose name you should recognise from his Mouse Outfit work. The energy on this one is laid-back, with all elements from the MC through to each instrument having enough space to breathe and be appreciated. Keep your fingers crossed and ears open for more from this crew!

Loop Schrauber, TRIBEZ : Cruisin

A beautiful little beat on the Chillhop label, released last year as part of "Chillhop Essentials Winter 2020", this has a laid-back funk to it and the kind of sonic polish that makes you want to crank the volume all the way up! Loop Schrauber is a producer out of Regensburg in Germany, who clearly is as comfortable with a bass in his hands as on a drum machine, and this debut single with Tribez is a great bit of head-nod groove.

Pusha T : If You Know, You Know

This was the brash opening track from the "DAYTONA" LP. Kanye's production is loud, kind of on the edge, but Pusha T's clarity can cut through just about anything!  On this cut, he casually dismisses those who spit drug game lyrics without the background to make them convincing. By the way; just because I was clearly having a quiet day, I once decided to answer Pusha's question...

Le$ : Purple Heart

"Let me take the long way home" was very nearly the epigram for this episode - that pitched-down vocal sample on the hook (later heard at normal pitch) is dope as anything. An absolute killer from the 2015 "Steak X Shrimp 2" mixtape, Happy Perez goes in on the production and gives Houston's Le$ a perfect setting to flow in his characteristic relaxed fashion. He's one of the hardest working artists out, with a seemingly endless flow of releases, and is definitely worthy of your listening time if you enjoy this style.

Big Hutch ft. Bam : Just Another Day

Not even my favourite track on the solo"Executive Decisions" LP from the Above The Law producer and MC, but this bonus track has exactly the kind of breezy vibe to fit into this spot, hidden right underneath the proto-trap-ish drum patterns. With most of the album being straight-up MCing, this track takes a diversion into a mostly subdued singing performance, with featured artist Bam doing a solid job making the switch work.

Children of Zeus : What I'm Seeing

One more Manchester tune as we come towards the close of the show, a selection from the fire new Zeus LP "Balance", which they're currently touring to packed houses! A nice bit of double bass underpins this one, with Tyler's vocals at the start given space by not crowding the mix with loads of extra instruments. Then the subtle rhythm track comes in and things get even better, with all elements finally coming together when Konny Kon touches the mic at the halfway point. These guys have worked incredibly hard to build the skills and the sound that people are waking up and taking notice of - attention that is extremely well-deserved.

DJ Quik : Quik's Groove II (for U 2Rip2)

Getting you ready for the final wind down (shout out DJ A-Up), we go back to the "Way 2 Fonky" LP by one of the greatest ever to work the boards, Compton's own DJ Quik. Even nowadays, an chill instrumental workout like this would be notable on a Hip-Hop LP, but back in 1992, this was absolutely unique. Quik is truly an amazing musician/producer/engineer - get to know the catalogue.

Silje Nergaard : Be Still My Heart

This may not be to everyone's taste, but I've always loved this tune and it brings us down to full relaxation at the end of the show! Quite a few years ago a friend got me a CD from some MCs hustling their wares in the pub we were drinking in. It was a bit of a mixed bag, but one of the tracks opened with a sped up sample of "my heart is not lonely or broken, it's not of ice or of gold..." and I thought "I need to find where they got this sample from!" A bit of web searching let me to the Norwegian jazz single Silje Nergaard, and her 2001 album "At First Light", from which this is taken. There's not much I can say, just listen and enjoy as we wind down for another month!

Spinna B-ILL / ココイチ / VORTEX / dubblender Riddim by Myers Rock

[bakugou-ou]

I was wondering if you could recommend some songs?? I'm in the mood for listening to something new so I would like to see what you'd recommend!!

I tend to really only listen to emo kid music from the early to mid 2000s and Japanese music, so I don’t know if you’ll find anything I like to be of any interest, but taking a quick look through my itunes library, here are some of the songs I listen to most

+ heartbreaker by supercell ft. Hatsune Miku (japanese)

+ dead by My Chemical Romance

+ first day of my life by Anna Scouten (it’s a cover of a song by some band I don’t really like, but I like her version)

+ hold me down by Halsey

+ ame tara tara by Spinna B-ill and the Cavemans (Japanese)

+ me!me!me! by Teddyloid ft. Daoko (Japanese; went viral like a year ago I think? Anyway, it’s a good song)

+ homesick at space camp by Fall Out Boy

+ there’s this one mashup of Alphabet Boy by Melanie Martinez, For Him by Troye Sivan, Stressed Out by 21 Pilots, and Haunting by Halsey that is lit, I love it so much even though I don’t like 21 Pilots

+ Peace Sign by Kenshi Yonezu (Japanese; bnha season 2 opening 1, I am addicted)

+ she’s 22 by Troye Sivan (it’s a cover but it’s good)

+ piece of my heart by Janis Joplin

+ reprieve by Vallis Alps

+ there for you by Martin Garrix ft. Troye Sivan (it’s relatively new?)

+ kago no sanagi by The GazettE (Japanese; tbh anything by them is jams to me, and for some reason I think about Kirishima when I listen to this song)

+ kakete ageru by Daoko (Japanese)

+ anything off the album “Adult” by Masa-P (all Japanese, but they’re really good vocaloid songs!)

I also listen to a lot of pansuri Korean music, since that’s the kind of stuff my grandma was into, but I feel like no one on here would care about that so :’)

Sorry if none of this is appealing to you and if you’ve heard it already, but I really only keep up with Japanese music, and English music I tend to be like a decade behind on oops.

lecca Lyrics: Soldiers feat. Spinna B-ILL

English translation and romanization below the cut. Thank you Zaegoro for the coffee! :)

ENGLISH

Little brother, dry your tears Little sister, dry your tears I must be stronger stronger

I’m paddling in circles, caught by the waves Pushed aside, separated from you If I could be granted a single wish Take me back to that day, that time, that place

The hands on the clock drop coldly Without even giving me time to fall to my knees I frantically strip down, and with the one body I have I clench my teeth and kill the feelings inside me

Getting washed away within the maelstroms An apathetic boyfriend at my side I tried to have both life and money Which, if you didn’t know, is most definitely a losing bet

Just the same old story? Not necessarily All these thugs out on the loose I’m at the mercy of time, bridging the divide Here’s one more warnin’ warnin’ for you

There was this view I once saw in a dream ...Is this what it looked like? I don’t know shit Must be some kinda idiot Chin up Suck it up All you can do is slip ‘n slide in the mud

I wouldn’t say I’ve been sufferin’ all that much though I feel like this is same old story I’ve heard before Get up Soldiers. I might be startin’ from the bottom But I’ll crawl my way up anyway I won’t lose track of the thoughts running through my head now

I don’t wanna be manipulated It happens all the time capitalism ‘cause people are bent on being a celebrity If you wanna be a stronger person, then c’mon now, don’t look away, you must be stronger I won’t hang my head even though I’m oppressed And I won’t get used to being at the bottom Just remember who’s playing the leading part

There was this view I once saw in a dream This isn’t what it looked like, this isn’t me But then I look around and see everyone else struggling to get ahead

I wouldn’t say I’ve been sufferin’ all that much though I feel like this is same old story I’ve heard before Get up Soldiers. I might be startin’ from the bottom But I’ll crawl my way up anyway I won’t lose track of the thoughts running through my head now

You’re gettin’ your ass kicked bad And you still think it’s someone else’s business? Why not get back up and take your dignity back? What you can see, what you have to gain Those are all up to you What, you think it’s over already? You can’t let it end It’s your turn next

I wouldn’t say I’ve been sufferin’ all that much though I feel like this is same old story I’ve heard before Get up Soldiers. I might be startin’ from the bottom But I’ll crawl my way up anyway I won’t lose track of the thoughts running through my head now

Stand up! I’m headed over that way C’mon now, fix your collar and take a step forward, take what you’re feelin’ to heart We’ll smile even when we trip and fall. We don’t mind losing We’ll get there someday, so let’s take a step forward, take what we’re feelin’ to heart

Little brother, dry your tears Little sister, dry your tears Little brother, dry your tears Get stronger, yeah, be stronger

Little brother, dry your tears Little sister, dry your tears Little brother, dry your tears Get stronger, yeah, be stronger

ROMAJI

Little brother, dry your tears Little sister, dry your tears I must be stronger stronger
