❝WHERE IS THE SILENT MAJORITY?❞
YU TAKAHASHI ISN’T TRENDING. HIS SONGS AREN’T IN ANIME. HE’S NOT DOING CHOREOGRAPHY FOR SIMPS.
BUT HE’S ASKING REAL QUESTIONS. WHERE ARE THE VOICES THAT CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY? WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE FOR WHAT'S BEING LOST?
INSTEAD, YOU’RE WORSHIPPING IDOLS WHO SELL GRAVURE DVDs WHILE CALLING THEM "ARTISTS".
MODERN POP FANS NEVER EVEN MENTION LYRICS. THEY THINK A SONG IS GOOD IF IT’S “CATCHY”.
BUT SONGS LIKE “WHERE IS THE SILENT MAJORITY?” AREN’T HERE TO BE CATCHY.
THEY’RE HERE TO MAKE YOU WAKE THE HELL UP.
沈黙はぶっ壊してやろうぜ。 BREAK THE SILENCE.
START CARING ABOUT THE "MESSAGE", NOT JUST THE HYPE.
Lyrics:
The people who once played rock ’n’ roll,
The ones who sang “Love & Peace” —
Where are they now?
This world’s darker than wartime.
More people are killing themselves
Than getting killed in battle.
And we’re just watching!
We’ve got endless weapons and fighter planes
And if someone uploads a disgusting image, it’s all over?
Like that’s all it takes to shut you up?
The people whom you really love
Let ‘em hear your damn voice.
What’s up, little miss shut-in?
Before you lock the door,
How about a drink and some truth?
I still believe in the day
We’ll say it loud, from the chest:
“I’m glad I was born here. I love this damn place.”
The S*x Pistols didn’t sing love songs —
But damn, they screamed peace louder than anyone.
Even if they’re not on the front page anymore,
In that place, precious smiles and tears are still alive — even now.
We got 50 nukes on this shaky island.
And an archipelago that shakes 5,000 times a year.
And this is where we live?
This is our Blowin’ in the Wind?
You there, big brother – you look cheerful.
They’re clowning your whole "Yutori generation"
Let’s make the voiceless voice ring out.
Let's wake the hell up!
POWER TO THE FREAKIN’ PEOPLE!
TEAR the silence down.
WHERE’S THE LOVE & PEACE
ROCK ONCE PROMISED US?
How are you feeling, Dad?
What’s the approval rating for the next Prime Minister?
How do you feel about the condition of this country
Where 2D characters are more alive than real people?
Huh?
You — yeah, YOU.
You got a voice?
Then don’t die with it buried in your throat.
I believe in the day
I can say, truly: “I’m glad I was born and raised here.”
Believe in love….
Smash the damn silence!!!
