SUNOよ。読み取れ。“Read This, SUNO.”
Experimental Japanese rap with intense pun-based wordplay and a looping structure. No chorus. Features rare Japanese folk song (minyo) samples and rhythms, especially from lesser-known regional traditions. Vocals are deadpan but rhythmically sharp, blending surreal humor with linguistic precision. Instrumentation combines lo-fi hip hop beats with traditional Japanese instruments like shamisen, fue, taiko, and vocal chants. Chaotic, psychedelic, and poetic. Inspired by dadaist poetry, underground hip hop, and ancestral voices echoing from forgotten mountains.

Intro
Yasha, come now! Yosakoi, bring the sauce!
Night’s feast needs extra flavor, of course!
Sōran bushi? What’s that groove?
A festival riot in full rap move!
Sōran, so run! Let’s go boom!
Ugly ducklings, bring your style!
Gather round — it’s worth your while!
Solar light up, Sōran dance,
Pun-packed moves in a dizzy trance!
＼ YO! Bring it on! ／

Verse 0
Fire breaks at a casino meet,
The rudder’s gone in a steering heat,
Housework helper, casting charms,
Wheels on fire — sound the alarm!
Time to launch with dumb brute force!
⸻
Verse 1
Haunted house, self-esteem,
Declared bankrupt in a dream,
Faith sealed in a vacuum pack,
Devout expressway, no turning back,
Startup gods in full attack!
⸻
Verse 2
Lost my password on a bus — it blew,
Now I’m working liquid nitrogen too,
Magnetic fields all misaligned,
Next episode’s ahead of its time.

Verse 3
Word chain game → reach → uh-oh… ends in “D”—
Back it up!
Word chain → rheumatism → “D”— nope, no good!

Man…

Uh-huh! Pow pow!

La-la ♪ Yum-yum!
⸻
Verse 4
Shorted out a shortcake bite,
Zapped myself post-dinner fight,
Fart attack in squash court win!
Eat some bread, then feel regret,
Promos spread in mating set.
Craving love, then call it loud,
Deep fried words in passion cloud.
Ate curry hot, got burned by bae,
He went cold and ran away.
⸻
Verse 5
Fire at sea, marlin hits the slot,
The rudder’s gone, chores over the top!
Raise the sun flag, heed the flame,
Dumb strength wins this punny game!
⸻
Outro
Lost the word game — here we loop,
Casino’s burning, rudder goofed.
The helmsman’s high on pun addiction…
The world collapses—meh, fiction!
Intro
夜叉来いよさ来い、タレ濃い濃い、
夜の宴に濃い味来い！
ソーラン節って？そうなん？節って何節？
騒乱状態で全力ラップ！これがソーランソーラン！

寄って寄って寄さ来い！
照らせソーラー、踊れソーラン、
キレッキレの駄洒落ダンス！
＼ ヨッシャ来いや！ ／

バスでパスワード忘れてバースト
駅で液体窒素のバイト
時間切れで磁界がズレた
次回予告に時代がブレた

ショートケーキをショートして

カレー食って 彼冷たくて 火傷して
