In my previous work, 'Love That Can't Be Returned,' I brought tears and return slips to many people.
And this time.
I finally encountered her.
A woman behind the returns counter.
Her serious gaze as she checks the condition of items.
The way she processes refunds with practiced hands.
And above all,
that gentle voice asking, 'Do you have your receipt?'
Before I knew it, I had fallen in love.
But she is the Return Girl.
A woman who knows all about returns.
Will she accept this love, I wonder?
Or will it just be processed as a return?
Funny, a little bittersweet, and sometimes completely nonsensical.
I've packed 20 such songs into this collection.
Please note, returns are not accepted for this work either.
However, love advice is always welcome.
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.
