暗い部屋で一人 テレビはつけたまま 僕は震えている 何か始めようと 外は冷たい風 街は矛盾の雨 君は眠りの中 何の夢を見てる? 時代は裏切りも悲しみも 全てを僕にくれる 眠れずに叫ぶように からだは熱くなるばかり Good Night 数え切れぬ Good Night 罪を越えて Good Night 僕らは強く Good Night 美しく あの偉い発明家も 凶悪な犯罪者も みんな昔子供だってね 外国で飛行機が堕ちました ニュースキャスターは嬉し そうに ｢乗客に日本人はいませんでした｣ ｢いませんでした｣ ｢いませんでした｣ 僕は何を思えばいいんだろう 僕はなんて言えばいいんだろう こんな夜は逢いたくて 逢いたくて 逢いたくて 君に逢いたくて 君に逢いたくて また明日を待ってる

Song Production Information

I think J-Rock is a movement that cannot be missed when talking about the '90s.
Among them, "JAM" has a wonderful melody, arrangement, and lyrics, and its title is proudly engraved in my list of masterpieces.
This time, I tried to use a 2003 rock image, but this type of cover no longer has the stylish part of the music, so perhaps only the idea and unexpected song selection is unique.
I asked two musicians active in the indie scene, Junpei on vocals, and Prince Mikami on guitar, to perform on this song, and it resulted in a rough, sharp, and nice sound. If you can taste the crushed feeling, that's probably our rock spirit(??)
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
The original song was released about eight years ago as the ninth single of "THE YELLOW MONKEY", a band which represented Japanese rock during the '90s.
There's no tension, just energy. It's languid and unstable, yet up-tempo. The remix, performed in a comfortable style, seems to reflect how we live in a world which changes at a faster speed every day than back then.
Not only does it just make me remember nostalgic messages, it's my perfect BGM for living in this current era!... And I'm surprised!... Aren't there more people who might also be surprised?
