I think Kemuri has officially kicked Asian King Fu Generation off of the podium for most favorite Japanese band. I was on Spotify looking up some Japanese bands to make a new playlist featuring J-Rock, and I stumbled across Kemuri. Kemuri is ska. A SKA BAND. I haven't listened to a good ska band in YEARS. But when I put these guys in my ears... holy shit. They rekindled my love and appreciation for ska like it was never gone to begin with. I started with their old stuff from back in like late 90s, early 00s. Sounded like it got the time perfectly. They recently just came out with another album this year. Gave it a listen, and holy Satan riding in on a male stripper dressed like a sexy unicorn. It was fucking gorgeous. Like it's great music that makes you want to take a bassoon to Trump's face over, and over, and over, rocking out while doing so.
Any ways, here's AWE.
The winners smile and the losers cry...
And I give them a shower of applause...
Awe...I praise the win with awe...
Awe...I praise the loss with awe...
Everybody wants to win but not everybody gets be the winner...
Awe...I praise the smile with awe...
Awe...I praise a tear with awe...
Awe... I follow my heart to be myself...
I try to be myself in my life...
I awe and I face an end game...
The creators keep on creating and the imitators keep imitating...
Awe...I praise the faith with awe...
Should I praise a fake with awe?
Everybody wants to be the one but not everybody can be the one...
Awe...I praise the faith with awe...
Should I praise a fake with awe?
Awe...I follow my heart to be myself...
I try to be myself in my life...
I awe and I face an end game...
Awe... I follow my heart to be myself...
I try to be myself in my life...
My life is changing into our life...
I awe and I face an end game... I awe and I face an end game...
