ii kusuri to, warui kusuri comes with the same purpose as always, like in “dadaism#..” bring a lot of different things and put all together in the same work.

When we see the tracks "ii kusuri" and "warui kusuri" we automatically think they are antagonists, ‘cause of their translations “good medicine, and bad medicine”. Even more when you see that the first one is a heavy song, and the second is a ballad. But this is not what happen. Are songs with too differents purposes, being that "ii kusuri" talks about parasitic, or abusive relationships, and “warui kusuri” is a personal declaration to the fans.

Contextualizing the lyrics to the songs, the “medicine” of ii kusuri looks like drugs, something to anesthetize the reality for some moments, nothing lasting, not a cure, a palliative. About the “medicine” of warui kusuri, looks like something closer to the literal, a bad medicine, that doesn’t work, something that no matter how much you take, have no effect.

“Yoshiatsu: Once I thought music can’t save the world. What if we can’t even save those who like our band? No matter how much I write, no matter how much I sing, a lot of sad things are happening around us. At a certain point I gave up. But then I started to feel that my fans are worried about me and wait for me, that’s why I’m writing songs again. I go on. [...]”

[extracted from the interview they gave about dadaism #3 that you can see by clicking >>> here <<< ]

Alice in underground is a soft song (comparing to the others), with a funny touch, and very abstract, that would fit perfectly in other works like “yume tarareba”, for example.

To finish, 2017.07.21の日記 is a tribut to Chester Bennington, so beautiful, which can draw tears from more sensitive souls. Have a simple refrain, but, with a little, says a lot, being also very contagious, to sing and to listen. 

 

And you? What  you think about the single?
