Description:
Musician "Shinich" and "jun" of Japan made this song. "jun" sings the song. "Shinich" sings by backing. Writing songs is jun. I took charge of the accompaniment and the arrangement.
........................................................................................
This song refers entrepreneur "Horie" of Japan. "Horie" was a president of "Live-door" company. However, it was arrested because of the doubt of the malfeasant. A lot of young Japanese adored him. However, after having arrested him, a lot of young people despised him. There was no pillar in "Tower in the castle in the air". Sand was money. Money was blown off by the wind.
There is land in Japan, and is a sea.
Wisdom was cultivated spending hundreds of years.
The world where only small number of people can be abundant is not wanted in Japan.
"Money runs about the Japanese whole country.There is equally to all members a chance to obtain it."
As for this word, value sometimes rises than money.
........................................................................................

Lyrics:
This is a free translation. It is not literal translation at all.

Sunday evening.
I was called by them.
I treated them to a gorgeous dish.
The red signal has already blinked to the presence.
I am confused.
We get into bed.
However,
Already the entrance to the death there.

Hell from heaven.
Was only the result all of me?
It starts shutting as the door of my conscience grating.
"Person's mind" bought by money.
Ambition.
Despair.
Upstart.
Mistress.
I want to return in those days.
5 4 3 2 1 more time!

The part there that never touches.
Which do you choose the encounter to painful later eyes the endurance
of now?
What even in where do you want?
Please teach to me.

All were party.
To the way of the child who cannot endure itchy.
The scab has been peeled off.
The body and the life also have the rhythm so.
The desire disarranges the rhythm at time.
The following rhythm is waited for it was possible to become a little
wise in this.
5 4 3 2 1 more chance!

Body and Life have the rhythm, indeed &mdash 03/27/06 - 01:09:14 PM
Wo. Totally cool. Man, the movement, energy, wondrous guitar work,
smooth sweet not-quite innocent female vocals, centered and leading
drumming, and funkily devious bass line all coalesce into a backing
score to a great nightmare documentary. Even the impossible
translation adds to the slightly unhinged aspect of the experience.
"Was only the result all of me?" - what a great line. Cut up the words
and spill them into new meanings, like notes and melody. Everything
coheres in this post-modern piece in which meaning is groundless and
no one has the patience to "endure itchy." Thanks for providing the
background news items. Great track. (I'd put this into Progressive
Fusion or Art Rock, mainly due to the invigorating and inventive guitar
work, but also to the melodrama and storytelling that is going on. The
vocals also sound like pop rock, not jazz, and so the Prog/Art Rock
genre seems more apt.)

If in doubt, call it "fusion" :{)

Mr.Tobin James,
I wish to express my gratitude deeply for your comment.
It is a maxim of Japan.
"In the life, there is a mountain, and is a valley."
There is a failure on the other side of the success.
There is a hell, on the other side in Lola.
The stomach is enough if it fills it by 80%.
Moderation is necessary for the life.

Though such a word can be understood ….
The life is a very difficult way….
Even a great leader….
Even the people on the street….
It is a problem that we worry through life.

Yes.
This is Progressive.
Fusion or Art Rock is suitable.
I made the wrong choice.

Your song was so fascinating... &mdash 03/27/06 - 07:35:03 PM
...that it led me to look for Takafumi Horie on the Internet...

What an interesting man and interesting story, with so many levels and
questions...

Since you have already posted songs about rocket ships, I thought it
interesting that this man was working on a commercial space project,
among other things...

I sometimes have difficulty understanding exactly what you intend with
your lyrics, Tadashi, but they have led me in a direction I might never
have gone otherwise...

The music is imaginative and rhythmically sophisticated as well...

Ed,
Jun created this poetry.
She wrote the riot of Japan.
Work to translate Japanese into English is very difficult.
Especially, because I am not good at English.
I wish to express my gratitude for your comment.

at once exotic and familiar &mdash 03/27/06 - 11:03:50 PM
Tadashi, you seem to have taken more risks than usual - this is the
most vocals I think I've heard on any of your posts. I love the way your
music is so unpredictable, yet so incredibly tight. Your drum
programming is amongst the best I've ever heard - on MacJams or
anywhere! As usual, your guitar and keyboard work are mind-
boggling. This is serious music with humour - at once exotic and
familiar. What would we do without our regular dose of Tadashi
music?!

Neil,
The chance was gotten from jun and Shinichi this time.
Because I did not sing the song, it was a good chance.
I wish to express my gratitude to two people.
And,
I wish to express my gratitude also to you who lives on the
treasure island at the southern hemisphere.
Always thank you for a detailed Listening.
I am glad.

interesting music &mdash 03/28/06 - 05:54:11 PM
like that pic as well.

Lots of funk, seems like a lot of work when in to this. Like how the bass
vibrates powerfully in both ears. Cool electric guitar screeching!
Like that popcorn popping bass and the list goes on. . . .

The music is pure Tadashi, beautifully complex and endlessly engaging. The addition of Jun and Shinich singing is an unexpected surprise, and I love how their vocals work with your music. Really great!
