都会には幻想が落ちてる
凡人もヒーローになれるのさ
洒落た街夢の街空虚なゾンビ溢れていて
アレがしたいコレがしたい言うだけタダ理想論
理解者面した顔で人生の先輩かの様
年増の肴にされても幕閉じた者だろ
主観で完結より客観視で達観して
君の生き方どうなの?
私も大概良くはないが
頭飛ばして見てよ、ほら
都合のいい女でしょうに
金で買う愛も正しい友達だったら止めるけど
金で買う愛も正しい友達だったら止めるけど
都会には幻想が落ちてる
凡人もヒーローになれるさ
都会には幻想を腐らせて
幻を見続ける人がいる
自信たっぷり上京早々に食らい現実に嗤う
マヤカシになんてなりたく無いけど
夢うつつでいさせてよ
ねえ
媚びて売れるのも正しい友達だったら止めるけど
媚びて売れるのも正しい友達だったら止めるけど
都会には幻想が落ちてる
凡人もヒーローになれるさ
都会には幻想を腐らせて
幻を見続ける人がいる
溶けて
舐めてみて
甘けりゃいい
本当にそうなの?
私肩書きなんかでカテゴライズされたくない
見え方にこだわるもの全部ニセモノ
ニセモノ
ニセモノ
ニセモノ
都会には幻想が溢れてる
他人の面を借りて魅せるのさ
誇張して威張るのは如何様か
着飾り着膨れ嗚呼みっともないな
都会には幻想が落ちてる
凡人もヒーローになれるさ
都会には幻想を腐らせて
幻を見続ける人がいる

"Jinsei Kaitai -Life Dismantled- " is an attempt to release the inner conflicts and complex emotions we face in our daily lives through music.
As KATOKINO marks the 10th anniversary of this journey, I found myself pausing to reflect.
"I want to dismantle myself once, and start over."
That feeling became the starting point for this album.
During my time abroad, I came to truly appreciate the charm of J-POP.
At the same time, I felt a quiet urge to rebel against it just a little. That contradiction became another key inspiration.
Each of the ten tracks is built around a unique perspective and theme-exploring personal pain, questioning society, and more.
It's a multifaceted collection drawn from many angles.
This album is a journey of deconstructing oneself through the power of music, and discovering something new in the process.
It crosses genres, and brings individuality to the forefront.
I hope you'll take this work and dismantle it with your own heart.
Artist Profile
Kino Kato
Kino Kato began performing in 2014. In 2015, they won the Nagoya Grand Prix at the 9th Music Revolution. Their music features a percussive guitar style combined with lyrics that humorously and ironically reflect the absurdities of everyday life and discomfort with society. They traveled alone to London, the Czech Republic, and Paris, independently promoting their music. Their solo show in Paris was a full house, and they spent three months busking, developing a truly one-of-a-kind style of expression. In 2021, they launched their own independent label, ONIKO LABEL. The name "Kino Kato" comes from a childhood nickname. Due to their bowl-cut hairstyle, they were often called "kinoko" (mushroom) in school. "Kino" is a remnant of that nickname, paired with their surname at the time, "Kato."
