proclaiming we're in a lesbian music renaissance NOW thanks to artists like Billie Eilish, Chapell Roan, Fletcher, Phoebe Bridgers, Dove Cameron and Renee Rapp is qWHITE interesting to me (dgmw I like those artists but)........... people are acting like Janelle Monae, Victoria Monet, Hayley Kiyoko, Arlo Parks, Halsey, Kehlani, Syd, Dua Saleh, Raveena, Kelela, and even Megan Thee Stallion haven't been CONSISTENTLY making music about loving women and eating pussy for well over a decade. is it only a "sapphic music renaissance" when white lesbians and queer women do it?
ICHIJOU SINGS
Did you know that Ichijou has his own character song?
"selfish" (kind of a mean name tbh)
it's from one of the recent Kaiji pachinkos of course
Daisuke Namikawa is singing it just as he does the voice for cutscenes (also there is another singer as well)
it's good and bad at the same time lol. 2hu arrange-like electronic is not what i expected, i think jazz or showtunes suit him more.
lyric transcription + edited machine translation below:
Something about this is so genuine and funky. It feels so natural that if I heard the correct lyrics it wouldn't process as right in my brain. This man yelling about his green tea and watermelon sour patch kids fits so well with the live music playing in the background, the atmosphere, the whole situation. It's like some reverse slam poetry talking about how good life is and how the simple pleasures should be enjoyed. I'm in love with this tik tok.
