Lyric
Hitokiri Izo, an Assassin
Takaharu Hirao
土佐の国の足軽生まれ 俺には理屈は用がない
狂った野良犬だと 奴らが背中から指さしてる
教えてくれよ本当のことだけを 疲れ果てて目を閉じる前に
人斬り以蔵 酒と女と
人斬り以蔵 殺しが仕事さ
名誉や地位の上で でかい顔する野郎たちも
切って捨てちまえば まるでおんなじ骸(むくろ)だぜ
何もかもを大きくかき混ぜて 転がってゆく当てのない世の中さ
人斬り以蔵 酒と女と
人斬り以蔵 殺しが仕事さ
冷たい夜の下で いつも俺は怯えていた
開かない重い扉 何度も何度も叩いてきた
迎えてくれよ俺を拒まないで 指の先まで凍り付いている
人斬り以蔵 酒と女と
人斬り以蔵 殺しが仕事さ
人斬り以蔵 酒と女と
人斬り以蔵 殺しが 仕事さ

Azalea Hills is a typical neighborhood located in the west of the sprawling metropolis of Tokyo. It's about a twenty-minute train ride from Shinjuku, the hubbub of the commercial and administrative central hive of Tokyo. Close to the train station of Azalea Hills is a small old-fashioned music bar, Bless, where its regular customers retreat when the working day is done. They are from all walks of life: from a handyman to a major company executive, with ages ranging from early twenties to late sixties. The bar is owned and run by Changie, a forty-year veteran in the music industry. Every night, the regulars shuffle in to play their favorite music: from Japanese enka blues to rock'n'roll. Born out of their impromptu sessions and midnight sprees came this series of compilation albums produced by Bless Records Tokyo. The songs recorded here are not the performances of one special night, but it offers you an experience similar to anytime you open the old wooden door; walk into the bar; join all the regulars, glasses in hands; and listen.
