A Walnut 04:29
- A Walnut - I Made a walnut You Ate it Reflector Even the last drop of the little fruit has already dried up and been forgotten Some bee pills Silver mutton Crystal combined with Cheerful mold But nothing will surely be nothing I even snap off the bud I Made a walnut You Ate it Reflector In my half-dream of fruit I polished it from morning till evening Shell liqueur Sweet essence I fill my sigh from a purifying flask But nothing will surely be nothing It will be a while before I awake from my experiment __________ 胡桃 - A Walnut - 僕 胡桃をつくった 君 たべた 反射板 なけなしの実のひとしずくさえ とうにひからびて忘れた 蜂の丸薬と 銀のマトン 化合する結晶と 陽気のかび でもきっとなしのつぶて 双葉さえも摘みとるさ 僕 胡桃をつくった 君 たべた 反射板 有りの実のうつつ夢みし 朝な夕なと磨いた 貝のリキュールと 甘きエッセンス 浄化するフラスコに 吐息つめて でもきっとなしのつぶて しばし醒めぬ実験は

- Motorcycle - Motorcycles Are like flying fish The metal cradle The body in convulsions The swinging pendulum Of some inorganic substance The exhaust sounds Like singing A metaphor That has slipped off track __________ モーターサイクル - Motorcycle - モーターサイクルは 飛び魚みたいに 金属の揺りかごは ケイレンするボディーさ 振り子と換わるは 無機質アニマル 肺気音は高らかにうたう 軌道をはずれた メタファー

- Ironclad Mermaid - I row a cardboard boat I’ll take you to Utopia The shining crystals on the waves Reflect a thousand-year-old kingdom Anywhere the wind blows Ta-ri-i-ra, ta-ri-i-ra The bronze mirror sparkles on my breast Showing dream after dream Even the compass has sunk In the prism and the foam of the sea The iron scales of a mermaid have been torn off The fair is over All the rumors have completely died down The sea blowing across our path Tempts us to Hades Gloria __________ 赤い靴ユートピア - Ironclad Mermaid - ダンボールの舟こぎだして 君を道づれさユートピア 波間にきらめく水晶は 千年王国うつす どこ吹く風よ タリィーラ タリィーラ 胸もとにかがやく銅鏡 いくつものゆめゆめ見せる 羅針盤さえ沈めた 海のプリズムとあぶくのなか 鉄のうろこの人魚を 身ぐるみはがして  あとのまつり 杳としてうわさも聞かなくなる 行くてをさえぎる潮風は 黄泉路へさそうよ グロリア

- Dancing Twins - In my pupils The shooting star of the twins Jumps and spins, Popping in to space Shwatz-son Let’s dance until the morning __________ ダンシング・ツインズ - Dancing Twins - 瞳のなか 跳びこんでクルッ 双生児の流星が はじけて シュワッツ・ソーン 朝まで踊ろう

- Ka-no-pu-su-no-ha-ko - I walked to the British Museum To see an Egyptian mummy Lying in a glass case Linen stuffed in his mouth Arms, legs and neck His image overlapped with a certain man Destroying the film of my memory On the chest of the dead There was a heart scarab I will find a map of the underworld And wake them up From their 3000-year sleep Red blood, silver blood Canopic box--I will seal it A gorgeous human-shaped coffin This image overlapped with a certain man Destroying the film of my memory Murals and jewels Crowns, the Rosetta Stone I will find a map of the underworld And follow the path Beyond the door __________ カノプスの箱 - Ka-no-pu-su-no-ha-ko - 大英博物館に私は足をはこぶ ガラスケースに眠るエジプトのミイラを見に 腕や足、頚、口につめこまれたリンネル ひとりのおとこの映像が重なり 記憶のフィルム消滅させていく 死者の胸の上にはハートスカラブ 地下世界の地図みつけ 三千年の眠りをさます Red blood, silver blood カノプスの箱 封印する 絢爛豪奢な人型の棺に ひとりのおとこの映像が重なり 記憶のフィルム消滅させていく 壁画や宝石、王冠に、ロゼッタストーン 地下世界の地図を見つけ 扉の奥の通路を抜ける

- I'll just go birdwatching - I'll just go birdwatching I'll just go birdwatching If I had the power of foresight I might keep sending a signal To the hovering image in a state of zero gravity So as to touch the feathers of a shape-memory alloy "I could be strange, and you could be too. Why don't we smile?..." This memory is two-dimensional. In the pictures. The answer is like this If somebody asks me. I’m not sure my signal has been caught I hold the velvety wings Muttering without knowing it Zero gravity Floating down __________ ちょっとバードウォッチングに - I'll just go birdwatching - わたしちょっとバードウォッチングに‥ わたしちょっとバードウォッチングに‥ もし予知能力はたらくなら 送り続けるだろうか信号 無重力さまよう画像に 形状記憶合金の羽根にふれに "I could be strange, and you could be too. Why don't we smile?..." This memory is two dimensional. In the pictures. The answer is like this if somebody asks me. 受けとめているだろうか信号 つかまるのすべらかな羽根に 知らず知らずつぶやいてる Zero gravity Floating down

"The Japanese avant-garde pop band strove to create a “sacred ambiance” on their second album, fusing unconventional arrangements with bouncing volleyballs and an eyes-wide air of wonder."
“It’s rare that art-pop matches its extravagance with such alluring modesty. In doing so, Paradise of Replica feels like encountering cinematic spectacles in miniature.”
—Joshua Minsoo Kim (Pitchfork, September 30, 2022)
