it's kind of sick/sadistic/emo/whatever

but i really, really like it.

and her voice is kind of whiney/high-pitched/nazel/whatever

but i kind of really really like it.

and i really like her du lan face when she's singing.

like she doesn't give a shit if you think her voice is too screechy.

or if you don't give a shit and don't want to buy her album.

hell yeah.

makes me feel like frigging want to shake my head off.

or slit my throat, put a finger up my gullet, cut my wrist or something.

of course i'm just joking.

さくらん「錯乱」

sakuran. also means confusion　

a reasonable jazz number by 椎名林檎 shiina ringo.

my all time favourite. couldn't find the album version, so here's the live.

she's more chest-voice-alto-bassy in live but i think it's not too bad.

and the translated lyrics:

__________________________________________________________

song:Keshou Naoshi 化粧直し/ Adjusting My Make-up
album: Adult

artiste: tokyo jihen 東京事変

My room after you left it keeps getting muddied white
as if the past is a faraway fog
The strength I can’t prove a second time keeps growing hazy
If it rains on our parting this morning, fine

I knew loneliness, meeting you
But I lost you, and now I’m truly alone for the first time

A fragrant loquat – our garden has been rotting away wounded for a long time now
So many times we’ve said too many goodbyes

Please come home just once more
Because I won’t put your love to waste that time, really

I knew loneliness, meeting you
And I became aware that I’ve been losing you too all throughout this long time
When words fluttered around and withered in midair
I finally realized it
That I am truly alone「本とに一人」
