Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

lyrics
(In my dreams...)
It's a pattern
I've seen repeating
(From where you're standing)
The destruction
Is deleting
All the promise
I was holding
(From where you're standing)
And crippled
What was unfolding
I thought I wanted you
But now I see
(From where you're standing)
That's just not true
And it can't be
(I tried to meet you in my dreams)
((In my dreams))
Perceive me
From where you're standing
Judge me
I am expanding
So run away
From the brightness
This silence is
My politeness
Perceive me
From where you're standing
Judge me
I am expanding

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
