Lyric
Hiotoko
YUIMA ENYA, DJ KENSEI
まるで裸のまま踊るように
君は生きてゆくだろう
うちへ帰ろう
風呂に入ってご飯食べよう
Think of it
僕らには愛があるじゃないか
響く
君の気持ちを抱きしめてみて
土を踏み固め
進む道あれば
暗闇もある
鞭打つ体には登りゆく朝日
がよく似合ってる
Something about this
Get your body move
Let your heart beat
Sing your soul out
Love is all around
Get your body move
Let your heart beat
Sing your soul out
Love is all around
Get your body move
Let your heart beat
Sing your soul out
Love is all around
Get your body move
Let your heart beat
Sing your soul out
Love is all around

Hiotoko
YUIMA ENYA, DJ KENSEI
Initially, I heard DJ KENSEI playing only the beat of this song on stage, which led to its production. Hon Da Q's "Matsuribayashi" (festival music) and organic electro sound was something new. From a movie I saw called "The Color of Pomegranates" and from an encounter with a blues singer, I wanted this song to express the beauty of life, of those who live it to the fullest. Inevitably, it overlapped with the existence of "Hyottoko," and I once again acknowledged my longing for such a way of life.
