Melancholy in the Global City/グローバル・シティの憂鬱(Guroobaru Sitti no Yuuutsu) / by ヒカシュー(Hikashu)
Lyrics: Koichi Makigami Music: Masami Sakaide
(Lyrics in romanized Japanese)
Kuuzen Zetsugo
Zendai Mimon no jidai ni ikite
Kanjou sae mo jouhou shori shite itami mo nai
Denshi meeru wa todoka na katta
Intaanetto
Haikai shite iru rou nyaku nan nyo
Shinken na hodo kokkei ni mieru
Rinku no umi
Monitaa mitsume furiizu shiteru
Nicchi mo sacchi mo ika nu koto demo
Nan toka kan toka kirinuke te
Kimi ni tsunagu
Ingin burei
Chinpu na hatsugen deeta ga subete
Iiwake dake ga seijuku shite iku
Sekai wa tsumi
Denshi no egoizumu kokoro kuruwa su
Un tomo sun tomo ikanu koto demo
Ecchira occhira oshi te miru
Ichi ka zero ka
Infura seibi dekinai
Soudan Mijuku na fairu
Kimi e no omoi paketto ni tsume te
Kaisen ochi
Miryoku no meiro
Masaguru ishiki
Un tomo sun tomo ikanu koto demo
Ecchira occhira oshi te miru
Ichi ka zero ka
Nicchi mo sacchi mo ika nu koto demo
Nan toka kan toka kirinuke te
Kimi ni tsunagu

(Translation of lyrics in English )
Living in the unprecedented age in history
Even the feelings are processed as information without pain
The email didn't reach you
Men and women of all ages
Are wandering around in the internet
The ocean of links looks
The more ridiculous the more they are serious
They freeze staring at the monitors
I wiggle my way out of the situation
Between Scylla and Charybdis
To connect to you
A feigned politeness and banal statements
Data is everything
The world that has achieved a mastery in excuses only
Is sinful
Electronic egoism drives you out of mind
I try to push something dead as a post
With all my effort
All or nothing (It will be either one or zero)
Infrastructure improvement is impossible
The half-baked files
When I fill my feelings in the packet,
The line gets disconnected
My consciousness roves
In the glamorous maze
I try to push something dead as a post
With all my effort
All or nothing (It will be either one or zero)
I wiggle my way out of the situation
Between Scylla and Charybdis
To connect to you
-------------------------------------------------
(Lyrics in Japanese/日本語)
空前絶後
前代未聞の時代に生きて
感情さえも情報処理して痛みもない
電子メールは 届かなかった
インターネット
徘徊している老若男女
真剣なほど滑稽に見える
リンクの海
モニター見つめ フリーズしてる
にっちもさっちもいかぬことでも
何とかかんとか切り抜けて
きみに繋ぐ
慇懃無礼
陳腐な発言データがすべて
言い訳だけが成熟していく
世界は罪
電子のエゴイズム こころ狂わす
うんともすんともいかぬことでも
えっちらおっちら押してみる
１か０か
インフラ整備できない
相談未熟なファイル
きみへの思いパケットに詰めて
回線落ち
魅力の迷路
まさぐる意識
うんともすんともいかぬことでも
えっちらおっちら押してみる
１か０か
何とかかんとか切り抜けて
きみににつなぐ
