Until The End Of The World

Red Light Syndrome

Tis a noble sport but it does have its downside. The lifespan of a wrestler is typically reduced by 15-20 years attributed to the health consequences of the sumo diet. They are also banned from driving cars partly due to being too big to fit behind a steering wheel. This song, however, is about another fight which we must win!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSnhY0xBK7k

I’m a sumo wrestler
Don’t fit in a Tesla
I weigh 400 pounds 
Or ‘bout that
And a lotta the food’ll be
Rice, ramen noodles
Yeah
Ya gotta be fat

No gougin ’ no kickin’
Just slappin’ and trippin’
Huff, luffa 
Keep your breathing in sync
Throw salt in the air
Show your palms 
That’s just fair
Make sure your mawashi’s 
Tucked in
   
Le lutteur de Sumo
Il ma fait ‘ah’
Il ma fait ‘oh’
Le lutteur de Sumo
C’est si bon
C’est si beau

No gougin’ no kickin’
Just slappin’ and trippin’
Make sure your mawashi 
Tucked in
 And remind that bozo
Once he touches the doho
It means that he loses
I win

Huffa luffa
Huffa luffa
Huffa luffa

My Love

This song expresses the possibility of a new path forward in the midst of struggling to come to terms with a very sad breakup.

The structure is designed to connect to the future, so that the possibility of charting a new path is continuous.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself.Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花), a Vocaloid singing voice synthesizer.


Thank you so much for listening!


The lyrics are as follows (Japanese):
消えてゆく場所はここにあるの？
もう一度会うことも言うこともできないの？

始まりの終わりが何かを
告げて　涙に変えゆく
永遠の言葉はいつでも
儚く途切れて　新たな道を描く

色褪せた過去の傷を背負い
夢の跡抱きしめて遥かなる道に立つ

始まりの終わりが何かを
告げて　姿を消しゆく
永遠の言葉はいつでも
儚く途切れて　新たな道を繋ぐ

the End of the Beginning

Here my friends is the Re-Master of one of my most popular Contemporary Classical Piano Improvs.

In it, i seek to describe a life-experience that elicited feelings more intense than happiness, or even Joy; like the inexplicable emotions felt at the birth of one's first child; or... by reason of one of those deeply transformational experiences that enlighten us forever.

An impossible thing perhaps.

However... my dear Listeners,
Here it is.
And... 'Yes! It's Something Like This'.

It's Something Like This *

True story: I socialized with a guy in the late 90s who had been in a mid tier rock band (redacted) in the late 70s/early 80s. After the fame, there wasn't any money, and he had a regular everyman job like me. He had great stories, though...
A slow burner blues with a smooth groove.
From the album: "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025)

Lyrics:
I just hate that celebrity bullshit
I can smell it
From a million miles away
That's what he'd say
Right there, at the bar
Having a drink
Or 2
Or 10

A broken-down singer
With too many dreams
A broken-down singer
With too many screams
Up over
A heavy metal (huh!)
Double kick drum
He says: I've been on tour all over the world
I've  been to a lot of places
And I just love every place that I'm from
But, I could use 
A billion dollar blues
Billion dollar blues
A billion dollar blues...

I was restless
And I had stars in my eyes
Dreaming about the magazine covers
And the limousine rides
Having those women at my will
Taking all the cash out of the till
Some nights I  just stay up late
Thinking about it. 
Thinking about what could have been

And......
Then I walk in ...
To a room full of bitter Muses
With bad attitudes
And  short fuses
I could use
A billion dollar blues
Billion dollar blues...
