My dad’s a grumpy, ugly guy, a stubborn freak
But his art and passion really make him unique
To my mom, he’s the coolest man alive
So many people, so many styles
Different colors, different vibes
So many people, so many minds
That’s why the world is so much fun
My little sis, she’s got my dad’s cool taste
Wants to be a designer, full of style and grace
She’s sweet and spoiled, but hard to hate
So many people, so many styles
Different dreams and different smiles
So many people, so many charms
That’s why the world is beautiful
My best friend’s nickname is “Encyclopedia”
He’s smart and hot with a serious idea
Totally not like this tough guy me
So many people, so many brains
Different lessons, different lanes
So many people, so many skills
That’s why we found each other still
Ahhh, I’m so different from the crowd
I love sports, I shout out loud
Studying? Nah, I’m really bad
Got my looks from my ugly dad
Still, I got myself a girl
Guess I’m kinda happy in this world
But here’s the thing — my girl is MAGURO
No kisses, no cuddles — she’s always solo
But I still love her, not just for fun
Even if she’s cold, she’s the one
So many people, so many ways
Can't help it, love still stays
So many people, so many hearts
That’s how this crazy world starts
Everyone’s got their own flavor
Different tastes we all savor
In every meeting, hand in hand
The world keeps turning — and so do we
So many people, so many styles
Different colors, different vibes
So many people, so many minds
That’s why the world is so much fun
So many people, so many styles
Different dreams and different smiles
So many people, so many charms
That’s why the world is beautiful

KAITEN-SUSHI (English)
@Aika-Musics
I made this song with a lot of fun.
The original Japanese title is "Juunin Juiro" (10 people, 10 colors), but the English title is "KAITEN-SUSHI".
There are two versions of this song, one in Japanese and one in English.
The lyrics have the same meaning, but the melodies and arrangements are different, so please listen to both!
The title "KAITEN-SUSHI" is a fun title that is memorable, even though it has nothing to do with the lyrics, just like the English title of Kyu Sakamoto's famous song "Ue o Muite Arukou" (Sukiyaki).
The lyrics are not directly related to sushi, but some of them are reminiscent of sushi and sashimi.
I didn't use the name sushi, but used it as a metaphor to express the diversity and individuality of people, like the toppings on sushi.
The lyrics include the phrase "My girlfriend is a tuna."
In Japan, "tuna" is a slang term for a woman who doesn't react at all when touched or caressed during sex. It's like a dead fish on a chopping board.
The word choice is a deliberate homage to the theme of sushi, and the English title "KAITEN-SUSHI" playsfully matches the lyrics.
Just as there are many different types of sushi, each with their own taste and texture, people are wonderfully diverse.
"Ten people, ten colors" - life is just like a conveyor belt sushi restaurant.
I made this song with a lot of fun.
The Japanese title "Juunin Juiro" is "Juunin Juiro", but the English title is "KAITEN-SUSHI".
There are two versions of this song, one in Japanese and one in English. The lyrics have the same meaning, but the melodies and arrangements are completely different, so please listen to both!
Just like my favorite song by Kyu Sakamoto, "Ue o Muite Arukou", has a completely unrelated English title "SUKIYAKI", I chose a fun and unrelated title after my favorite Japanese food.
The lyrics themselves are not directly related to sushi, but there are some phrases that faintly remind you of sushi and sashimi without using the word "sushi".
For example, there is a lyric that goes "My girl is MAGURO". In Japan, "maguro" is a slang word for a woman who doesn't react at all during sex and sits still like a dead fish on a cutting board. It's not a very flattering word, but I used it intentionally to get a little closer to the English title "KAITEN-SUSHI".
Just as there are many different types of sushi and flavors, there are many different types of people.
In that sense, don't you think the phrase "ten people, ten colors" is like a conveyor belt sushi restaurant?
Artist Profile
@Aika-Musics
In my younger years, I was active on stage as part of a musical theater troupe. This led me to develop an interest in gospel music, and I had the opportunity to perform in concerts and participate in recordings as a family member of Yuka Kamebuchi & VOJA (The Voices of Japan), as well as occasionally as a member of the Anointed Mass Choir produced by Chie Ayado. After that, I shifted my focus to being a magician, spending nearly 20 years working both onstage and behind the scenes. Eventually, I felt the limits of my physical energy and beauty, and decided to retire from the stage. In recent years, with the rise of AI, even someone like me with no formal music background has been able to start making music. I've begun using AI to create original songs. I've always enjoyed writing lyrics and coming up with imagery, and now I'm bringing to life lyrics I wrote around 30 years ago. It's been a joyful process to see them become part of my music today. I will continue to create music in a variety of genres, not limited to J-pop or rock. Also, I would like to apologize to everyone. I found a mistake in the description of my song "DIVA." The date written in my old lyrics was February 9, 1997.
