僕しか知らない道忘れて
途方に暮れてみたよ
みるだけ
寂しそうな背中に気づいて
いるのにいないみたい、大丈夫?
容れ物が違ったらいいのか
中身が腐ったのか
朝が来て僕らは外に出かける
あー出かけて何がある?
あー生きてて何がある?
Step Out
死ぬために出かける?
家にいさえすりゃ
Shut In
引きこもって生きる?
どのくらいがちょうどいい感じなの?
What a silly boy!
外に出かけりゃムカつく
家にいたら息が詰まる
遠くに行きゃ金かかる
What a silly boy!
何をしててもイラつく
Step Out
道に金を捨てる
家にいさえすりゃ
街に居場所なんてないのに
三宿、下北(大っ嫌い)
Shut In
もはや僕の中に
僕の居る場所がないみたい
Step Out? Shut In?

Jacob Tanaka
He is also the vocalist, guitarist, main songwriter, and composer of the four-piece rock band "Landlord," which has received praise from many artists and music fans. He is a singer-songwriter, Yakob Tanaka, who has been releasing solo works in a DIY style. This album, his fourth full-length album in total, is an amazing two-disc set: Side A, which was produced with the help of guests and his old engineer Akihiro Iizuka on some songs, and Side B, which was composed entirely with his own performance and recording.
Although the songs on this album vary in time, ranging from the most recent songs to those created during the band's college days, the songwriting and multi-layered arrangements remain consistent, and a sense of pessimism pervades the entire album, resulting in a collection of timeless and exceptionally boring pop songs. The songs are deeper and more melancholic than ever, focusing not only on the traditional guitar-oriented elements, but also on the flowing piano and profound chorus work, gently but powerfully embracing the loneliness and emptiness of everyday life.
Now and Then is a lonely pop maestro who spins universally good melodies with exciting chord progressions in a total of 20 songs.
