Four seasons of life the last leaf falls, Cherry blossoms bloom in the downtown Tokyo,
Paper lanterns hung for the moon festival, MCP's gotta go, so we gotta leave Toronto,
Say goodbye to my home and travel across the globe, Study Japanese before I go to understand their code,
Arigato from now to the time of the Edo, Samurai Champloo in the sunflower meadow,
The land of the rising sun, mechs and gundams, Post apocolyptic visions of the future,
Ghost in the Shell cybernetic human users, Bonsai trees, to ancient silk tapestry,
Green tea ceremony don't forget to let it steep, Or you'll lose the potency won't energize your chi,
A thousand paper cranes of Origami, Teleports my soul to the land of swords and shinigami.
BREAK>>> KOGEEMO
A sense of beauty of Japan.. A meaning of WABI an SABI..
I add it to a phrase (the music). And the put meaning becomes *NISHIKI of words more..
7TH GALAXY.. KANNA.. KOGEEMO, we play the melody, that lyrical theory....
*NISHIKI – There is various implication, but it is the will "that it have a heart toward greatly" here.
Verse>>>2 WISDM
My bamboo flute plays to many regions, From Hokaido to Kyoto,
In kimonos geishas dress for their nightly visit, Pale moon face with the red painted lipstick,
She plays the mandolin, I've heard her before, On another song, on another day, on a distant shore,
She said they dropped the bomb when she was the age of 4, The year was 1945 and many died,
And many survived but how many live this life, Of nightmares of atom bombs at nightime,
The last samurai drinkin off their rice wine, Drunken soldiers with barrels and holsters,
Need to read the art of war to come closer, The way of the sword is more noble than a toaster,
sayonara from the wiz now it's over.
Verse>>>3 KANNA
Why don't you dance tango,
Under moonlight in Tokyo,
The scent of cherry blossom will allure you to the soul of wisdom,
It's as clear as sky, Vermilion silhouettes are reminiscences of dreams..
