Lyrics :

Its started a long time ago
when you had nothing to do 
But stretching time
to feel up the hours

Mates didn’t come back
To bring you a lighter
That’s how they help you out 
To get back again to 
Sober days 
Soberdays

You used to be wild man
That freezes without trousers 
You’d rather be in the forest
But you scared of tigers
Even more lost
In front of dishwashers
You’ll get shit together
As soon as you enters
Sober days
Soberdays

You’ll clean your rotten teeth tomorrow
You packed your socks and jeans tomorrow
You’ll get yourself a job tomorrow
A girl a song a dog
Tomorrow, sober days

 So put on a tie
and shave your cheeks
wash up the stains
and get matching socks clean-up your brain
get yourself a nickname laugh at all jokes
get crazy to live in sober days

Waiting to get bald

Soberdays

Nabowa - Demo2

サニーサイドメロディー Ego Wrappin

グッドバイ[cover of toe](original ver.)

Gentle, mellow, calm, peaceful..... a few words would come up to describe... but... A quiet joy of life....that might be one of the better expressions when you want to talk about the music of Curly Giraffe. Curly Giraffe is a one-man band by a human being, Kiyoshi Takakuwa. Originally a graphic designer based in Tokyo, Kiyoshi started his professional musical career as a bassist of Rotten Hats (a 6-piece rock/pop band from late 80's to early 90's), then a connoisseurs' favorite trio band GREAT 3, derived from Rotten Hats after its breakup, both bands had enjoyed cultic and solid fanbase in the Japanese rock market of the time. After the issue of Best & Live Best album in 2004, Great 3 decided to be separated and step off from the scene for a while. Then Kiyoshi started reviewing demos of his own music he had recorded by himself at his home, stored in the vault for the past couple of years and determined to launch into his own project at last. That was how Curly Giraffe arrived. First appearance was a limited EP exclusively available at Tower Records in 2005. It quickly went sold out. Next spring he delivered the first longplay album, which amazed people by selling over 2,000 units only at Tower's store in Shibuya. The album also stayed on top 10 of iTMS Japan's rock chart over a year. The quiet sensation continued with the 2nd album "Ta-dah" issued in 2007 and the first Best-Of on major distribution (avex) the following year. In spite of constant release and high accolades to his music, the true portrait of the aritst was not much spoken. Few recognized that it was Kiyoshi, and Curly Giraffe had stayed as a mystery for a long time even among fans. With the first two highly-acclaimed albums Curly Giraffe came to be noted for his multi-talent that varies from songwriting, singing, playing most of the instruments as well as producing, to the cool stylish artwork designing all by himself. Spending a few years in Australia in his childhood, enjoying all kinds of pop music and rock'n'roll on the radio made him feel more comfortable in writing melodies to English lyrics and singing in English, which differentiates his songs and performance from those by many other artists of such in Japan. Also combining folky and hand-crafted touch with electrified sound in the background makes Curly Giraffe music so unique and equal to nobody's, while people would recollect from his voice and melodies the reminiscence of some great precedence singer-songwriters such as Jack Johnson, Donovan Frankenreiter and James Iha etc. Yet the songs by Curly Giraffe sound so mellow and calm with exquisitely beautiful melodies and carefully crafted arrangements and impeccable sound production, all done by the artist himself. More than anything, the warmth glowing in his smooth and relaxing voice is truly definitive and the biggest attraction of his music. This spring, 2009, Curly Giraffe returns with a new recording titled "NEW ORDER". The album, scheduled for release on April 22nd, will surely catch the ears of wider range of audience with the collection of 12 strong tracks and the best sound production in his career as a recording artist ever. And after the release of his 3rd album, this tall, gentle, herviborous animal can be found delivering great music with his friend musicians live on a few stages including a notable early & mid summer festivals. Check out your nearest CD stores and iTMSJapan .. April 22nd. You can witness Curly Giraffe going to be a peaceful epoch of the current music scene in Japan. Also, the other side of Curly Giraffe is a busy musician supporting other singers and bands including Chara, Cocco and many other popular songbirds both on tours and for their records as well. The good news after his own new album, Curly Giraffe will have a compilation CD titled "Thank You For Being A Friend", where many talented female singers - Cocco, Akino Arai, BONNIE PINK, Chara ,KUMI(LOVE PHYCHEDELICO) and others cover some of the best Curly Giraffe songs. Let the cow at rest. 2009 is the year of CURLY GIRAFFE.
