KANU

オレの腕時計 チープカシオ

だいぶ愛用 十年くらいもう

ド定番ブランド いまむかしも

カウント快調 電子回路

時間示す文字盤とバンドしかない

しがない超簡素

手首からTell me what time it is

時間を伝えるのにただ一途

ユーティリティ充実より

アイデンティティに忠実

これには時計だけ Like ミスターSASUKE

余計な芸はねえ

ぶれないタイム スタイルはライフサイズ

地球とおんなじサイクル

つまりトレンドより太陽と連動

単純で壮大な存在

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

いま何時にシンプルな回答

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

オレも貫く シンプルな有り様

つか腕時計なんかスマホでOK

カッチリ決めコーデなら高けえ時計持っていればいい

電車乗れないし 脈とれない

ぶっちゃけカシオなくて困らない

別に上がらない生産性

だがまたDay by Day

変わらないアティチュード

ただずっとタイムカウント

1 thousand あと少しのYen

機能は最低限で経済的Pay

だけど値段で決まんねえレゾンデートル

金や数字で決まる価値観には屁こく

過ごす時間ですごく愛着湧いて

特別な宝物になる

そうリアルな 価値になる

大切なのはお気に召すかどうか

好きかどうかYESかNOか

それが価値基準

オレは安時計のリストバンドつけて

次元別のサウンドで

狙う君のライフタイムベスト盤を

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

いま何時にシンプルな回答

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

オレも貫く シンプルな有り様

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

いま何時にシンプルな回答

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

オレも貫く シンプルな有り様

I wanna be like a チープカシオ

    Cheap Casio

    KANU

This is the 2nd EP from KANU, a rapper based in Ofuna, Kamakura.

The project features production by fellow Kayac colleague and artist okkaaa, with the entire EP composed and recorded within the company's meeting rooms.

The EP consists of three tracks, each themed around different "moments":

"KANU the Rapper" : KANU recounts the past that inspired his stage name.

"Dive": He likens his sudden life transformation - which began with his foray into rapping - to skydiving.

"Cheap Casio": He reflects on his aspirations as a rapper by drawing parallels to a wristwatch, which silently and steadily marks the passage of time.

The artwork was created by colleague Yohei Okada. It is based on a scene captured during an after-party for a solo live show hosted by KANU at the Kayac office.

Artist Profile

  • KANU

    An employee of KAYAC Inc. and a practicing rapper. He is active across both professional and personal domains, notably writing lyrics for a promotional web movie featuring the band ORANGE RANGE as part of the company's client work. In 2025, he released his 1st EP, command+New, followed by his 2nd EP, MOMENT the next year, which was produced by his colleague and artist, okkaaa. As a project manager, he leads online courses for Sendenkaigi and leverages his driving force to energetically plan and manage live performances and events. In January 2026, he independently hosted a solo live concert at the KAYAC Inc. office, and in August of the same year, he successfully organized KAYAC SUMMER FES 2026, a summer festival where every single performer was a KAYAC employee. Viewing hip-hop not as the music of an outsider, but as something that gives us the courage to step outside and an endeavor to question existing frameworks, he focuses on creative work that empowers people by singing about his own challenges and the joy of embracing them.
