令和かれすすき
A melancholic Japanese pop ballad duet for male and female singers, inspired by the structure of classic Showa ballads. The male begins with a line, and the female responds with "Iie..." style rebuttal, echoing the original Showa duet structure. Arrangement is pop-oriented with piano and strings, subtle modern beats, and emotional build-up in the chorus. Theme: loneliness, emptiness, and social isolation in the Reiwa era, contrasting wealth and technology with emotional poverty. The chorus features both singers harmonizing dramatically, keeping the nostalgic Showa spirit but with a contemporary pop arrangement.

Lyrics
Reiwa Withered Pampas Grass (令和かれすすき) — English Lyrics
Defeated by rising prices
No, defeated by endless loans
Slurping instant noodles every night
Sometimes splurging on cheap takoyaki at Lamū
I asked what the meaning of life might be
The manager replied: “Hurry up and scan the register!”
Love and hope are ruled by the discount sale
Reiwa withered pampas grass, swaying in the wind
Defeated by the dating apps
No, defeated by divorce court
My profile photo — far too airbrushed
Two witnesses, one stamp, and it’s all over
The future grows blurry, my glasses slipping down
Three wrong PINs — my phone is locked forever
We laugh to hide it, cry again tomorrow
Reiwa withered pampas grass, trembling in the night
Reiwa withered pampas grass
Reiwa withered pampas grass
“Shall we go out for a drink tonight?”
“I forgot my wallet.”
Beneath the endless sky, we’re still laughing
You & I — Forever!

"令和かれすすき"日本語歌詞
物価高に負けた
いいえ、ローン地獄に負けた
カップ麺をすする日々
たまにラムーのタコ焼き
生きることの意味を問いかけてたら
答えは店長「レジ早よ打て！」
愛も希望もタイムセール次第
令和かれすすき 風に吹かれて
婚活アプリに負けた
いいえ、離婚調停に負けた
プロフィール写真 修正盛りすぎ
証人ふたりで ハンコをポンと押す
未来さえ霞んで 老眼鏡ずれて
暗証番号 三回間違えて凍結
笑ってごまかし 泣いてまた明日
令和かれすすき 夜に揺れてる
令和かれすすき
令和かれすすき
「なぁ一緒に飲もうか」
「財布忘れた」
果てない夜空に今日も笑ってる
You & I
Forever!
