[Intro - dry funk drums enter gradually, syncopated bass, muted guitar, talkbox synth makes short vowel-shaped phrases, no full words yet] Wah... Oh... Uh-ah... …… 何じゃ [Verse 1 - low emotionless female vocal, tight kick and snare, sparse bass groove, talkbox answers only in short gaps] 我は何も 言うておらぬ 口も閉じて おるというに 何ゆえそなたは 喋っておる 知らぬ 知らぬ 我を見るな [Talkbox Answer - prominent monophonic talkbox synth, clear vowel movement, short rhythmic phrases, close and dry] NOT ME NOT ME SAY IT SAY IT 言うてない 言うてない WAH-OH WAH-OH [Pre-Hook - bass becomes more syncopated, muted guitar answers the talkbox, Kaori remains restrained] 勝手に笑い 勝手に歌い 我の声まで 盗みおって そなたは誰じゃ [Talkbox] WHO AM I? 知らぬ [Talkbox] SAY MY NAME [Hook - talkbox becomes the main melodic lead, strong funk groove, Kaori gives short deadpan responses between phrases] 我は言うておらぬ [Talkbox] YOU SAID IT 言うておらぬ [Talkbox] SAY IT AGAIN 我ではない [Talkbox] NOT ME NOT ME 口を貸しただけじゃ [Talkbox] TALK TALK TALK [Verse 2 - strip back the drums slightly, bass and talkbox begin call-and-response, Kaori stays centered and dry] 我が黙れば そなたが喋る 我が止まれば そなたが踊る 一音やれば 十ほど返す 実に やかましいのう [Talkbox] OH-YEAH 褒めておらぬ [Talkbox] OH-YEAH [Call & Response - tighter funk pocket, talkbox steals the contour of Kaori's phrases and reshapes them melodically] 知らぬ [Talkbox] SHI-RA-NU 黙れ [Talkbox] DA-MA-RE 勝手にせよ [Talkbox] KAT-TE-NI KAT-TE-NI …… 真似をするな [Talkbox] MA-NE-SU-RU-NA [Talkbox Solo - vocal lead takes over completely, expressive pitch bends, wide vowel sweeps, rhythmic mouth articulation, short intelligible phrases mixed with wah-like syllables; drums, bass and muted guitar stay locked in the funk groove] WAH-OH AH-UH-AH SAY IT SAY IT NOT ME WAH-YEAH OH-WAH 知らぬ 知らぬ SHI-RA-NU TALK TO ME WAH-AH-OH [Break - instruments suddenly drop to bass pulse and short talkbox phrases, Kaori very close and completely emotionless] ……満足したか [Talkbox] NO まだ喋るか [Talkbox] YES そうか …… ならば [Final Hook - full groove returns, talkbox and bass tightly interlock, strongest talkbox melody, Kaori remains completely deadpan] 我は言うておらぬ [Talkbox] YOU SAID IT 何度言わせる [Talkbox] SAY IT AGAIN 我ではない [Talkbox] NOT ME NOT ME 口を貸しただけじゃ [Talkbox] TALK TALK TALK 我は言うておらぬ [Talkbox] 言うておらぬ …… そこまで真似るな [Outro - drums disappear, bass stops, talkbox repeats Kaori's final phrase as a playful melodic motif, gradually closing its vowel shape] [Talkbox] 言うておらぬ 言うておらぬ SHI-RA-NU... Wah... [Kaori - dry voice] やかましい [End]
