Music: Kouno Yuuichi (河野裕一)
Arrangement: YAPOOS

“Shounen A” is a song released by YAPOOS and included on their fifth album HYS as track #6.

少年A – Shounen A/Boy A

He was writing a composition for homework
Somehow his right hand was bleeding
His fingertips tense,the pencil
Makes a snappy noise and brakes,the sentence
It’s always been a secret
Revenge toward the society elaborated in the room
Dissatisfied with himself for he’s so weak
Writes the names of those he’s willing to kill
Pointed out to solve differential,integral calculus
When he stood in front of the blackboard with a chalk in his hand
His fingertips tense,the chalk
Makes a snappy noise and brakes,the symbol
Say he’s quite
But his fingers speak fluently
He took it on ƒÆ and ƒÁ
A small unconscious hysteria
Algebra Language Classics English Ethics Physics History Art
Earth Science Music P.E. Chemistry

思春期病 – Shishunki Byo/Puberty Trouble

Say I’m a liar
But my lying habits won’t get better
Dreams and reality,all the same
My steps are unsteady
My heart beats even when I’m calm
Locked the door
Say I’m moody
The daytime and nighttime are different
Tired,happy
Maybe I should pray to god
I’m such a bad child
Leaning on the windowside
Tomorrow I celebrate my birthday
Last year,about this time,my body was heavy
As though it refused to grow
It’s always puberty,tomorrow’s my birthday

シャルロット・セクサロイドの憂鬱 – Charlotte Sexeroid no Yuutsu/Charlotte Sexeroid Blues

Silver heatproof suit diffuses reflection
Nails made of duralumin
Code number on the right pupil
No more dirty work
Barbara’s against Me
But the new century can’t defend that robot principle
Got to escape into outer space
Old types are being destroyed
There’s a detonator in my brain
I’m a machine with no rights
A hundred,no eternal solitude
Life in an empty rocket
But still,I decided to live
The digital indication’s in countdown
Going to be destroyed in the atmosphere
Don’t know why I tried to live
Not knowing,going into the stratosphere
I’ll bet on the most largest,unfathomable miracle
I’ll bet that the one who makes contact
Will come for me
A hundred,no eternal solitude
Inside an empty rocket
But still,I decided to live

Arrangement: YAPOOS

“Love Bazooka” is a song released by YAPOOS and included on their fifth album HYS as track #3.

ラヴ・バズーカ – Love Bazooka

Slapped,kicked,but I still love you
A Maiden’s heart in love,human torpedo exploding
Rejected,then use the Bazooka,one blow will end it
A maiden’s heart in love,prepare for suicidal attack
I’ll see to it you won’t be able to wear a hand knit sweater
A maiden’s heart in love,all into pieces
Besides,I’m ugly,I’m stupid
Moreover,I’ve got a terrible personality,I’m tedious
Above all,I don’t even think about your feelings at all
Not a bit,not a tiny bit,I LOVE YOU
In war, forgetting the important thing
As long as you don’t say you love me
Vicious Circle,Vicious Circle,Vicious Circle
Vicious Circle,Vicious Circle,Vicious Circle
I deserve to be disliked for what I’m doing
Sometimes I feel miserable,what am I doing
But next Valentine’s Day,I’m going to make a gigantic
Chocolate you won’t be able to finish
A maiden’s heart in love,human torpedo exploding
Besides,I’m ugly,I’m stupid
Moreover,I’ve got a terrible personality,I’m tedious
Above all,I don’t even think about your feelings at all
Not a bit, Not a tiny bit,I LOVE YOU
Maybe we’re one type of love
That can’t be,now it’s war time

Song: Honnou no Shoujo (本能の少女; A Girl of Instinct)
Lyrics: Togawa Jun (戸川純)
Music: Nakahara Nobuo (中原信雄)
Arrangement: YAPOOS

“Honnou no Shoujo” is a song released by YAPOOS and included on their third single EP Honnou no Shoujo as track #1 and fifth album HYS as track #2.

本能の少女 – Honnou no Shoujo/A Girl of Instinct

A mid-afternoon storm like a jet
Roaring rumbling up from the earth
Shuddering, they completely surround me
Oh, a kaleidoscope of butterflies

Wings the colors of the rainbow
Steel scales scattering

The only thing they can do is stay alive
The butterfly people who know only instinct

Rising in the air in gradations
Golden scales fluttering about
Long hair waving
I close my eyes and stand still

An afternoon spring storm like a Mach
Their shape is that of nature
They don’t have human problems
First of all, butterflies don’t commit suicide

Wings the colors of the rainbow
Steel scales scattering
If I were to die, the world wouldn’t change
But that doesn’t mean I need a reason to live

Throw cold water on your vitality
Take off your veil of intelligence and cast it aside
You should value your instinct
It’s the basis for survival

Rising in the air in gradations
Golden scales fluttering about
Long hair waving
I close my eyes and step forward

本能の少女 – Honnou no Shoujo/A Girl of Instinct

The afternoon storm is like a jet
It roars and it rumbles
It surrounds me,I’m trembling
Found out it’s a swarm of steel
The bright rainbow colored wings
Scatter scales of steel
It knows by instinct what to do
In life,butterflies
Gradation blowing up
In the dancing scales of gold
Long hair streaming
Eyes shut,standing
The spring day storm is like Mach
Their figure is like nature
They have no problems like humans
To bigin with,butterflies don’t commit suicide
The bright rainbow colored wings
Scatter scales of steel
The world won’t change even if I die
Don’t need a meaning to live,it has no sense
Water the life force
Take off the veil of intelligence
Have respect for instinct
The basis of survival
Graduation blowingh up
Inside the scales of gold
Long hair streaming
Eyes open,walking

Song: HYS (ヒス)
Lyrics: Togawa Jun (戸川純)
Music: Nakahara Nobuo (中原信雄)
Arrangement: YAPOOS

“HYS” is a song released by YAPOOS and included on their fifth album HYS as track #1.

ヒス – Hys

Hot, languid, the limits of endurance. Cold, intense, bearing this stress
Summer 8/16 Sunny: An online fraud suspect is arrested
Winter 2/28 Heavy snow: An insurance murder criminal is sentenced to death

Sleepy, bitter, the limits of endurance. Lonely, sad, bearing this stress
Spring 4/5 Cloudy: Allegations against a major construction company, declared innocent
Fall 10/2 Rainy then sunny: An indiscriminate terrorist is wanted for questioning

Nation-wide hysteria
But they call it national security
Blood type A accounts for 40% of the population
With militaristic seriousness, sudden suicide bombings

Heisei-era Japan, affluent Japan
So nervous, but with sudden spontaneous discharges

Nation-wide hysteria
But they call it national security
There was a coup in the past
But the revolution never happened

Heisei-era Japan, affluent Japan
So submissive, but with sudden spontaneous discharges

コンドルが飛んでくる – Kondoru Ga Ton Dekuru/The Condor Has Flown

My gambling was out of control and my family came to stop me
I thanked them but then I gave them the slip, and I just ran and ran
Over the hills and through the valleys
To a place where I was knee-deep in swamp

Blindly, full speed ahead, into the desert wasteland
Naked as the day I was born, I just ran and ran
Which way should I go now
To a place where I don’t know if it’s morning or night

Hateful voices, happy voices
Showered with jeers and praise, I just run and I run

Running barefoot
When my naked feet are on the rocks, I move with my naked arms
My naked feet are stained with blood, my naked arms are cut
My naked feet float in the air, my naked arms grow thick with feathers
When my naked feet dance in the air, I flap my giant wings

Arrangement: YAPOOS

“NOT DEAD LUNA” is a song released by YAPOOS and included on their fourth album Dadada ism as track #7.

Not Dead Luna

I swallowed hydrochloric acid, even cut my jugular vein
but I didn’t die, no, I didn’t die

The moonlight shines so bright it’s dazzling

I leapt from the 5th floor, ignored all the traffic lights
and yet I didn’t die, no, I didn’t die

The moon at night is crystal clear, sparkles the color of water

And then, suddenly, I fell in love, like in a dream
Our love for one another was intense, and I was happy
But before long I was alone once again, staring up at the sky
and I could see the moon shining as though it were my life

I’m broken-hearted and in utter despair
but I’m not going to die, no, I’m not going to die

The moonlight shines so bright it’s dazzling

Since then, I’ve worked a lot more, like in a dream
The effort I’ve put in has been intense, and I’ve made a lot of money
And even if, before long, I lose it, well, everyone’s lost something

The moon’s precious light shines as though it were my life
