The more you buy today, the more you gain.
It's only after returning home that you realize that not buying at all would have been the best deal.
This work is a record of humans trying to be a little happy while being swayed by small traps called points, coupons, sales, double campaigns, and so-called 'effectively free' offers.
Even though you think you are saving, somehow your wallet is light.
Even though you should have gained, the refrigerator is overflowing.
Even though you went out to buy what you needed, on your way home you end up carrying some strange detergent and mysterious frozen food.
A convenient and advantageous era.
But the things you truly wanted were not eligible for point rewards.
Point plus double day.
The only thing being fully redeemed today is the feeling of having gained.
Sassou Henpin Boy is a solo artist who turns the everyday sense of discomfort, the melancholy of working people, and just a bit of offbeat humor into music. The origin of the name comes from what he calls a 'pretty troublesome realization': the most important things in life can't be returned. You can return what you bought, but you can't return the time that's passed, a word you said too much, a wrong decision you made at work, or a life choice made on impulse. While he seems to walk through these irreversible days in a breezy manner, in reality, he carries them along quite a bit. His musical style is unique, blending city pop, rock, folk, and the feeling of a canned coffee on the way home from work. He specializes in songs that support those who aren't flashy heroes but are just trying to get through the day quietly, unnoticed by anyone. Typical themes include the emptiness after work, late-night convenience stores, the silence at the returns counter, apologies that didn't come out right, and the kind of half-hopeful, half-resigned feeling of saying, 'Well, I guess I'll go again tomorrow.' About his own music, he says, 'In a life you can't return, at least I want to keep the receipt.' Is he breezy, or does he want to return everything? That contradiction is exactly what Sassou Henpin Boy's music is all about.
