Savaged land, parched earth
No food, no water
The arable land has been weathered
Natural resources have run out
No harvest. People are underfed
Refugees are crossing the border line
They’ve lost their houses
They’ve lost their families
Strain your ears, I think you’ll hear their cries
How can we arrive at world peace
This is the African crisis
No one can keep away from the truth
This is the African crisis
It’s reflecting the next world
Famished people, savaged people
Primitive world, closed society
No aid of the Government
The benefits from hypocrites
Westerners made a slave of the natives
They make a show of the natives
Will they have to endure
Till God gives them a helping hand?
Strain your eyes, I think you’ll see their lives
It’s more than human being can bear
This is the African crisis
No one can keep away from the truth
This is the African crisis
Let’s think what we should do for them
Strain your ears, I think you’ll hear their cries
How can we arrive at world peace
Strain your eyes, I think you’ll see their lives
It’s more than human being can bear
This is the African crisis
No one can keep away from the truth
This is the African crisis
It’s reflecting the next world
This is the African crisis
No one can keep away from the truth
This is the African crisis
It’s reflecting the next world
This is the African crisis
No one can keep away from the truth
This is the African crisis
It’s reflecting the next world
This is the African crisis

Artist Profile
CHIC et CHOC
English:CHIC et CHOC: A techno-pop music unit consisting of three members: Masato Mizushima (vocals & programming), Hideki Mizushima (keyboards & synthesizer), and Hideki Ikemoto (bass). Initially formed as a four-piece called mode et mode with Haruhisa Kagawa (synthesizer). Kagawa left early on but contributed significantly to their early songwriting with his diverse sound design. Their active period was brief, spanning the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, yet they left behind numerous high-quality songs. Unfortunately, they never released through a major record label, meaning only a few trendsetters encountered their music. However, in 2025, their music will finally be released worldwide. We are grateful for the modern era's established digital distribution scene. We hope you enjoy their music, which encompasses not only technopop but also ambient, ethnic, Asian, and J-POP flavors. /Français : CHIC et CHOC : Groupe de musique techno-pop composé de trois membres : Masato Mizushima (chant et programmation), Hideki Mizushima (clavier et synthétiseur) et Hideki Ikemoto (basse). À ses débuts, le groupe comptait quatre membres, dont Haruhisa Kagawa (synthétiseur), et s'appelait « mode et mode ». Kagawa a quitté le groupe peu après sa création, mais il a contribué à la composition des premiers morceaux grâce à ses talents de compositeur polyvalent. Bien que leur carrière ait été de courte durée, s'étendant du milieu des années 1980 au début des années 1990, ils ont laissé derrière eux de nombreux morceaux de grande qualité. Malheureusement, n'ayant pas été signés par une grande maison de disques, leur musique n'était accessible qu'à une poignée de précurseurs. Mais en 2025, leur musique a enfin pu être diffusée à l'échelle mondiale. Nous pouvons remercier l'ère numérique pour cela. Nous espérons que vous apprécierez leur musique, qui ne se limite pas à la techno pop, mais inclut également des influences ambient, ethniques, asiatiques et J-POP.
