Lyric

"Shiga Yori Ogoto" is a sharp social-commentary rap track that exposes the contrast between silence on the surface and desire beneath in a quiet regional city of Japan.

Shiga is often described as a place with "nothing there," known for clean water, Lake Biwa, and tourism. This song deliberately flips that image. By setting the story in Ogoto, Mr.510 NEET highlights what never appears on travel posters: anonymous nights, moral contradictions, and consumption hidden behind calm daytime faces.

The recurring motif of black bass-an invasive species in Lake Biwa-functions as a central metaphor. While blamed and targeted for removal, the bass only exists because humans introduced it. The song draws a parallel between environmental damage and human desire:
problems are condemned, but responsibility is avoided.

Through rapid-fire Japanese verses layered with minimal English phrases, the lyrics feel less like emotional confession and more like a cold report. Fathers, bosses, and "respectable" figures by day become anonymous consumers by night. Excuses such as "It's just work" or "Everyone does it" are portrayed as universal shields that allow people to silence their conscience.

Rather than judging or moralizing, the track simply observes. The lake never speaks-but it reflects everything. The calmness of the water contrasts with the sludge beneath, mirroring a society that prefers quiet hypocrisy over honest confrontation.

"Shiga Yori Ogoto" is not an attack on a single location.
It is a snapshot of a structure that exists everywhere-a place where desire accumulates, responsibility dissolves, and silence allows everything to continue.

The lake stays.
People come and go.
Like black bass, it only keeps multiplying.
