The First Installment of Our New Project!
A track that truly kicks off the dance beats and rock tunes.
1. The Paradox of the Title "Isogabamaware"
A neologism that reinterprets the proverb "Haste makes waste" in a modern way. - It overlays the meaning "There's no point in rushing-just go around (circle)" onto the impermanent cycle of life.
It serves as a satire on our fast-paced modern society, while also delivering a liberating message: "Don't rush-just go around."
2. The Frustration and Helplessness of Daily Life
"Everything I have to do just feels like such a hassle."
A direct expression of the "burnout and procrastination" felt by modern people.
No motivation, everything is a chore.
"Going back to square one and rolling the dice again? No way! I don't want to!"
Life is likened to a board game.
The loop of "going back to square one" no matter how hard you try, the helplessness of having to rely on luck (the dice), and the childlike cry of "I'm sick of this!"
3. Fusion with Buddhist Philosophy
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form"
A quote from the core of the Heart Sutra: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."
The state of enlightenment that "all forms are essentially empty, and emptiness itself is all forms."
Sublimating the "hassle" and the suffering of "going back to square one" in daily life into the ultimate concept of emptiness (not meaninglessness, but impermanence).
"There is a resonance to "All things are impermanent"
Beautifully expressing "All things are impermanent" (everything is transient) as a "resonance."
Combined with "Nothing but...," this presents a positive view of impermanence-not as resignation, but rather as a pleasant resonance.
The drama of "Anxiety - Enlightenment."
It begins with irritation and resignation ("This is such a hassle! I can't do this! I don't want to!"), and ends with acceptance from a Buddhist perspective that "everything resonates with impermanence."
A positive sense of liberation that doesn't turn dark-perfect for the "curtain-raiser" of a new project.
Linked to the visuals (a car with headlights on = "modern people who keep running, "a colorful DJ booth = "a world that spins with sound").
The theme of "Keep spinning" is embodied not just in the lyrics, but throughout the entire music video.
A message that gently reassures listeners dealing with everyday stress-"There's no need to rush; just keep moving"-while powerfully pushing them forward with rock and dance beats.
