This song is probably why I thought so highly of Sadomasochism at one point. All of the songs are good, and then there’s this song (and Loop) and BAM suddenly I thought this was サリー’s best album. It’s still really good, though.
There are a lot more Photoshop metaphors here than for word processors, so the choice of calling the song “New Text Document” must be some kind of satire, haha. Beyond that, I can’t really grasp any deeper meaning in the song…

Yeah, this has an official lyric video. What do I care? This is the best song on this compilation. As a note, the lyrics were written by コウキ, another New Yorker who has been assisting in the Japanese scene for years already. I feel like these lyrics are a step above a lot of other English lyrics (first language or otherwise…) and 刑の字’s vocal performance(s) are actually very good. I believe this is only the second time he’s publicly done vocals (a Reon歌ってみた being his first)?
Anyway, I’ve formatted the lyrics a little differently from the book and changed “unwordly” to “unworldly,” because I don’t even think “unwordly” is a word.

明太子◎ also goes by 明太丸, though I’m not sure how he distinguishes those names. Yonakiyasha has a “Fear, and Loathing In Las Vegas” kind of sound in his own music lately, different from his “Fade Into Color” Vocaloid music, if you follow those.

No video. This is not my favorite song, but I think the chorus is extremely catchy… the lyrics turned out to be quite cute, though.
