Lyric
Hyottoko (feat. Hon Da Q, YUKKO!, GoRo the Vibratian & Final Drop)
YUIMA ENYA, DJ KENSEI
暗い蔵で暮らすひととし
喰らう へその緒からヒトの素粒子
生も死も分からず ゆらりゆられ
あなたのハートビート感じ蹴り上げる
Loop, loop で bloom する
Bloom groove が groovin’ loop
こんな時も変わらず飲んで飲まれ
あなたのハートまで巻き込みさらい
一心同体の状態は相対
So tire だとあなたも so so sleepy
つながる種と芽と根 止め処ない
誰でもため息出るくらいの愛
暗い蔵 くゆらす枝
クラウド掻き分け見る夢ひたすら
未来は今 今は過去
囲む広大な湖の粉寄せ合いさらい
I & I 晒し合い
And I’m 壮大 暮らし合い
紡ぎ繋がり苦しみの先には
もっと広大なあたらしい世界
暮らし合い 世界 cry cry cry…
Cry cry 息してよ
全てが しんぱい
いらん いらん
欲はない 暮らし以外 いらない
甘い からい 苦い つらい
教えて ちゃんと知らせて
当たれど 蹴られど
受け取る 一緒に食らう
オン カカカ ビサンマエイ ソワカ
オン カカカ ビサンマエイ ソワカ
オン カカカ ビサンマエイ ソワカ
かかあの背中浮かべマイウェイ
オン カカカ ビサンマエイ ソワカ
オン カカカ ビサンマエイ ソワカ
オン カカカ ビサンマエイ ソワカ
かかあの背中浮かべマイウェイ
Sounding fun
Walking in the train
In the opposite direction
Walks to fulfill the desire
The train will never stop
It carries those bodies to the holes
The circle is connected
Physically with anger and reality
Those bodies will never stop
Moving forward
Easy and severe
Sounding fun
Laughter and dance
Unless you die
Laughter to the bliss
Dance to the bliss
Baby will smile
Never stop walking
Laughter to the bliss
Dance to the bliss
Baby will smile
Never stop walking
The hot tub is my ritual
And back then the water was boiled with woods
Air was blown by mouth with a tube
Hyottoko, the pursed face
He is a funny one and strong one
He makes the people smile
Laughter to the bliss
Dance to the bliss
Baby will smile
Never stop walking
Laughter to the bliss
Dance to the bliss
Baby will smile
Never stop walking

Waidai (MaL RMX)
YUIMA ENYA, J.A.K.A.M.
YUIMA ENYA was born in Tokyo, moved to the US at the age of 18, and graduated from The New School, a prestigious jazz university in NYC. Her roots lie in jazz through encounters and training at open mics in the city, and in improvisational music. She has been involved in various projects in Latin, reggae, Afro, soul, and jazz, and released her first album in 2022. In 2024, her remix EP, her current project with SUPER CATS, Thiiird Place, and a cover of Sade's song with Inokashira Rangers were released on vinyl, making her probably the most prolific female singer in Japan today.
In the summer of 2023, J.A.K.A.M. as JUZU a.k.a. MOOCHY approached YUIMA to collaborate on a song that would later become "Waidai", and this was the beginning of the production of the album "Norito". J.A.K.A.M. started a band and DJing at the age of 15, and has recorded all over the world since 2003. He is an exceptional beatmaker who travels the world, crossing and traversing cultures and ethnicities, and recreates the depth of music that has continued since ancient times as dance/street/tribal music via hip-hop, world music, house, and dub approaches.
Around the same time, after an improvisational live set with DJ KENSEI, YUIMA, and rapper YUKKO!, YUIMA asked DJ KENSEI to produce a song. DJ KENSEI, born in Tokyo, began his DJ and music production activities in the mid-1980s, and was active from the deepest part of Japanese hip-hop in its early days, creating original sound spaces with his diverse selection and sound control. He has released many tracks on vinyl records, CDs, and cassette tapes under various names and projects, including DJ KENSEI, Indopepsychics, Final Drop, and KOKENSHOW. In mixing, he focuses on organic grooves and feelings, even when the sound source is electronic.
While they all develop unique music, they seem to share one thing in common. They and YUIMA have a deep compassion for people and life, and see 'people' regardless of their nationality, and perceive that music represents and influences each other's soul. YUIMA wrote the lyrics to all the songs in "Norito" while thinking about people's society, feeling their sufferings and joys, and being deeply moved by the relationship between this and music.
Norito is a prayer and expression of gratitude to all the gods in Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan.
