Our favorite idol (アイドル） in Japan, Amina Du Jean, has new EP out. It’s called “Seppuku”.
Ritual disembowling (hara-kiri) has never been cuter or had a better melody. Mishima would have danced to this.
For more on the song and Amina Du Jean, checkout out her Bandcamp website.
This is the best angry girlfriend song in recent memory. The lyrics are calling for a sincere apology—and in Japan that can only be one thing. Just ask the 49 Ronin. 😉 Here is a rough translation of one stanza.
♬ちゃんとforgiveできない
謝るのは必要
Guess I’m kinda 冷たすぎ
ハラキリしてねぇ☆♬
I can’t really forgive you
You need to apologise
I guess I’m kind of too cold-hearted but
Please eviscerate yourself, baby.
Seppuku (full lyrics below)
ちゃんと許せない
お前はキモ豚やろうさ
It’s time to atone to me baby
セップクがいいよ
ちゃんと脳を使えない
あたしはfuck you言えない
介錯人になるぞ
頭をちょうだいよ
ちゃんとforgiveできない
謝るのは必要
Guess I’m kinda 冷たすぎ
ハラキリしてねぇ☆
寂しい気持ち
めっちゃいいかもね
大好き? 大嫌い?
めっちゃ疲れちゃってでも
Give me, give me all ya guts
ちゃんと許せない
お前はキモ豚やろうさ
It’s time to atone for me baby
セップクがいいよ
ちゃんとforgiveできない
謝るのは必要
Guess I’m kinda 冷たすぎ
ハラキリしてねぇ
？？？
Fuck offを言いません
もう君負けた
許せる 許せない
めっちゃ困っていて
Give me give me gimme ya head
ちゃんと許せない
お前はキモ豚やろうさ
It’s time to atone to me baby
セップクがいいよ
Fuck you.
Well, what do you expect, she’s from Detroit. You cross her and that apology better be written in your blood.
