Recommended Song: Fuhen

Artist: ano Song Title: Fuhen (普変) Lyrics/Composition: Ozaki Sekaikan (CreepHyp) Release Date: October 12, 2022 Album: Nekonekotoito Lyrics Translation: https://www.marumaru-x.com/japanese-song/play-evr841mpnm Recommended Listening: https://youtu.be/xniehuh4ofI?si=s5xzGsFwWlPBk5E5&t=57 Seeing the THE FIRST TAKE version reminded me of a fun anecdote from the music world: Queen's lead singer, Freddie Mercury, and Michael Jackson had planned to record together. Rumor has it that Freddie was displeased and canceled the collaboration because Michael brought his pet chimpanzee to the recording studio. Freddie reportedly said: "It's one thing for Michael to show up to recording sessions in his pajamas, but bringing a chimpanzee into the studio? That's just too much .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ" So, is it okay for ano to record in her pajamas? Lyrics: "You're not ordinary at all like this, they start pointing fingers and laughing" (こんなのは普通じゃないからって 指差して笑っている) Combined with the song title's homophone 'fuhen' (普変 - commonality/universality and invariability), it reflects on the serious issue of 'normal people vs. freaks.' But she really is a freak (in a good way), which is hilarious.
