Lyric

Japanese Realism/Kyo

Moment Joon, Fisong

Let it breathe

I love that even the banality is built on some blood

That's some cold shit

カーテンは横に、ツイッターは下に

そうやって一日を更新

「いつになっても異邦人」と言われてきたMoment

でも頑張って町の色に染まったら

今は僕だって透明

町で見かける隣人の亡霊

1945、60、95

2011、2021

彼は忘れたそう 生年月日

でも忘れたお陰でハッピー

やっと時代から自由になることに成功

10年前に出たと言われてもおかしくない J-pop

それが流れる近所の生協

今朝も入る ゾンビ消費意欲

隣の婆ちゃんに合わせる気力

それを戻したくて

5秒ほど悩んだあと取る期間限定のスウィーツ

レジで出すポイントカードにキス

僕の歴史になるだろう レシート

唯一変わるのは消費税率

エヴァが言った通り生きてて手に入れた500円のピース

If I told somebody that this is something that I chose

Why oh why, then why not something better?

Only god knows

別に嫌いな訳じゃない

別に好きな訳じゃない

自分で選んだ訳じゃない

If I told somebody that this is something that I chose

Why oh why, then why not something better?

Only god knows

別に嫌いな訳じゃない

別に好きな訳じゃない

自分で選んだ訳じゃない

削れた靴の底が証明

昨日 曜日を忘れて書くノートで

선택했나봐 今になってI know that

落ちるのが怖くて白線に沿ってる

送り出す前線 SNSの上

晒し合うこと文化と呼ぶな決して

바닥에 침 뱉고 갈테니 넌 닥처

届くわけないこの空のEmailも

I’m back on this bicth これで何回目

かける天秤 同じ天気繰り返してる

今駅のホームから落ちて死んだとしても

変わりが生まれるだけ

Does not change mother fuckers

変化恐れたおれが1番の保守

그때는 친구가 말했어 "Of course"

耳に朗報 不安、怒り双方

抱きしめて眠る昨日今日

What's wrong

If I told somebody that this is something that I chose

Why oh why, then why not something better?

Only god knows

別に嫌いな訳じゃない

別に好きな訳じゃない

自分で選んだ訳じゃない

If I told somebody that this is something that I chose

Why oh why, then why not something better?

Only god knows

別に嫌いな訳じゃない

別に好きな訳じゃない

自分で選んだ訳じゃない

Let it breathe

    Moment Joon, Fisong

A collaborative album by rappers Moment Joon and Fisong, active in Osaka. As immigrants and Zainichi Koreans, they freely traverse Japanese, English, and Korean in their lyrics, bouncing over a soundscape that represents today's hip-hop, encompassing everything from Drill to Neo-Boom Bap, Crunk, Lo-fi, and Detroit styles. The album is a perfect blend of homage to the history of hip-hop and unprecedented innovation, comprising 13 tracks that breathe both the new and the old. It touches on music, roots, anger, politics, Japan, trauma, self-reflection, history, guilt, hope, and the human connections that generate all these elements. The Hip-Hop Album is born out of the connection between two individuals who are different yet similar.
