Purpose, self-deprecating. The Yellow Monkey.

Band was cool. We already disbanded.
It ended of sincerity.

It started with David Bowie-like glam-rock.
Baseline is like KISS. I pretty good.

Representatives of their songs, the ballads.





THE YELLOW MONKEY - Jam


Alone in a dark room, the TV is turned left
kurai heya de hitori, terebi wa tuketa mama
暗い部屋で一人, テレビはつけたまま

I'm shivering, to start something
boku wa huruete iru, nanika hajimeyouto
僕は震えている, 何か始めようと

Outside the cold wind, the rain city of contradictions
soto wa tumetai kaze, mati wa mujyun no ame
外は冷たい風, 街は矛盾の雨

You're dreaming of, what sleep in?
kimi wa nemuri no naka, nan no yume wo miteru?
君は眠りの中, 何の夢を見てる?

Age is also sadness and betrayal, all of us to me
toki wa uragiri mo kanasimi mo, subete wo boku ni kureru
時代は裏切りも悲しみも, 全てを僕にくれる

Lie awake at like crying, just get hot body
nemurezuni sakebu youni, karada wa atukunaru bakari
眠れずに叫ぶように, 身体は熱くなるばかり


Good Night, countless
Good Night, kazoe kirenu
Good Night, 数えきれぬ

Good Night, over the night
Good Night, yoru wo koete
Good Night, 夜を越えて

Good Night, we are strong
Good Night, bokura wa tuyoku
Good Night, 僕らは強く

Good Night, beautiful
Good Night, utukusiku
Good Night, 美しく


Is wrapped in an ephemeral, is drunk with sadness
hakanasa ni tutumarete, setunasa ni yoisirete
儚なさに包まれて, 切なさに酔いしれて

I'm not even a shadow and figure
kage mo katati mo nai boku wa
影も形もない僕は

I want nice things, from not selling much
suteki na mono ga hosii kedo, anmari utte nai kara
素敵な物が欲しいけど, あんまり売ってないから

Favorite song to sing
sukina uta wo utau
好きな歌を歌う


The sparkling earth, and want to hug you
kirakira to kagayaku daiti de, kimi to dakiaitai
キラキラと輝く大地で, 君と抱き合いたい

Painted red jam in this world
kono sekai ni makka na jam wo nutte
この世界に真っ赤なジャムを塗って

Even the guy to eat
tabe youto suru yatu ga itemo
食べようとする奴がいても

Boys make mistakes, makeup girl tears
ayamati wo okasu otokonoko, namida gesyou no onnanoko
過ちを犯す男の子, 涙化粧の女の子

Even as the end of the world, the love of two people is unchanged
tatoe sekai ga owaroutomo, hutari no ai wa kawarazuni
たとえ世界が終わろうとも, 二人の愛は変わらずに


Good Night, countless
Good Night, kazoe kirenu
Good Night, 数えきれぬ

Good Night, beyond the sin
Good Night, tumi wo koete
Good Night, 罪を越えて

Good Night, we are strong
Good Night, bokura wa tuyoku
Good Night, 僕らは強く

Good Night, beautiful
Good Night, utukusiku
Good Night, 美しく


The inventor also proud that, even violent criminals
ano erai hatumeika mo, kyouaku na hanzaisya mo
あの偉い発明家も, 凶悪な犯罪者も

He just had all the old kids
minna mukasi kodomo dattene
みんな昔子供だってね

Plane crashed in a foreign country, Newscaster happily
gaikoku de hikouki ga otimasita, newscaster wa uresisouni
外国で飛行機が墜ちました, ニュースキャスターは嬉しそうに

"Japanese were not passengers" "Were not" "Were not"
"jyoukyaku ni nihonjin wa imasendesita""imasendesita""imasendesita"
"乗客に日本人はいませんでした""いませんでした""いませんでした"

I What am I going to do
boku wa nani wo omoeba iindarou
僕は何を思えばいいんだろう

I What am I going to say
boku wa nante ieba iindarou
僕は何て言えばいいんだろう

Two Much like the night, Two Much, Two Much
konna yoru wa aitakute, aitakute, aitakute
こんな夜は逢いたくて, 逢いたくて, 逢いたくて

Two Much you, Two Much you
kimi ni aitakute, kimi ni aitakute
君に逢いたくて, 君に逢いたくて

I wait for tomorrow
mata asita wo matteru
また明日を待ってる
