Lyrics

Japanese

女性  また少しあなたの髪  グレイに変わったの
      私好みの色に  染まってゆくわ

男性  誘惑の真っ赤な薔薇  それは君のことさ
      あの日あの時から  この道はもう戻れない

二人  誰にも知られず  交わすアイコトバ
女性  赤いピアス
男性  時計はずす
二人  それでわかりあう

二人  息も詰まるほど　みつめあう二人
男性  帰さないよ
女性  帰らない
二人  二つ影消える  街角

Music Comment

"Hey hey, who's going to sing next? Huh~!? Kachou and Mami-chan?" Such a common scene during karaoke.

Song Production Information

Seiya Murai

This song contains the scene of a boss who likes duets, and a female office worker who has no choice but to follow along, which seems common in drinking parties held by any company. The singers, Kazao Kachou and Mami-chan, also have such kind of relationship.
Don't you think it's interesting that there's a gap between Kachou's slightly sexy singing, and Mami-chan singing like she's indifferently working (laughs)?
This song's genre can also be called mood kayou, and since I've never made a song in this genre, it was quite difficult.
Since it's a karaoke song, I included some detailed tricks, such as the dropping key in the beginning, and the performance cutting off before the song finishes. Did you notice them?

Character Information

Birthplace: Planet OEDO
Hobbies: Playing with children in a Japanese rowhouse (Taro), doing housework (Okon).
Likes: Sweet dumplings. Shaved ice. Okon's shop is the best! (Taro), Ta,...... ro-cha...n. (Okon)
Dislikes: Onions.

They're on a lovey-dovey highway at full-speed! During their latest date, they appear to be going to the currently trending "KARAOKE box" in Planet OEDO.

If I had more have time, I'd have added a bit more changes to this couple. They're a straightforward lovey-dovey couple, as usual.
But, based on the karaoke melody, I wonder if it'd be even better to have an old man and a young female office worker?
