"Kabukichou no Joou" [Single] / Muzai Moratorium [Album]
Suntory "The Cocktail Mimosa Cracker" CM song
The Queen of Kabukicho
Lyrics & Composition: Ringo Sheena
Arrangement: Seiji Kameda
Whenever I hear the voices of cicadas, I remember Kujuukuri Beach
Leaving the hands of my wrinkled grandmother, alone I visited the red-light district
My mother's the queen of this place and I'm like the spitting-image of her
Everyone reaching out to me, still a child, I was fascinated by the red-light district
When I turned 15, the queen left me and disappeared
She probably lives with that man who came every Friday
"He who once flourished will surely decline"
The time came for me to know what that meant and I set foot in the red-light district
I detest the woman who disappeared, but it's summer now
And I proudly display my title as queen
Now that I'm a woman, I only sell myself
so I'll lose everything when I want sympathy
Once you leave the east exit of JR Shinjuku Station
there will be my garden: The great playground Kabukicho
From tonight, I, her daughter, am the queen of this town

Semi no koe wo kiku tabi ni me ni ukabu Kujuukurihama
Shiwashiwa no sobo no te wo hanare hitori de otozureta kanrakugai
Mama wa koko no joousama ikiutsushi no you na atashi
Dareshimo ga te wo nobete kodomo nagarani miserareta kanrakugai
Juugo ni natta atashi wo oite joou wa kieta
Maishuu Kinyoubi ni kite ita otoko to kurasu no darou
"Ichido sakaeshi mono demo kanarazuya otoroe yuku"
Sono imi wo shiru toki wo mukae ashi wo fumiireta wa kanrakugai
Kiete itta onna wo nikumedo natsu wa ima
Joou to iu katagaki wo hokorashige ni kakageru
Onna ni natta atashi ga uru nowa jibun dake de
Doujou wo hoshita toki ni subete wo ushinau darou
JR Shinjuku Eki no higashiguchi wo detara
Soko wa atashi no niwa daiyuugiba Kabukichou
Kon'ya kara wa kono machi de musume no atashi ga joou
