The Peak of All Fools Ⅲ (Japanese Edition)

Opening the door, Stench of early summer air, Standing frozen there. All mixed up in one, Mountain of garbage stacked high, Flies dancing around. Renting the first floor, People from a foreign land, Strangers in this town. Fury hits the sky, Banging hard on every door, Smashing through the walls. Gathered in the yard, People from so many lands, Lost and so confused. Japanese words fail, No communication connects, Signs and gestures try. Pungent to the nose, Desperately sorting it all, At the garbage shed. Now it’s clean and bright, Reaching far beyond the words, Smiling face to face. Late into the night, Someone's knocking on my door, Faces from the day. In my risky clothes, Just a revealing nightgown, Following their lead. "Party," so they said, Sensing danger in the air, Guarding my defense. Trained upon the hills, With this body built so tough, I will never lose. Thick and humid air, Heaviness of male sweat, Dangerously close. Spread upon the board, Homemade dishes from their homes, Feast of gratitude. Everyone stands up, Shouting out with all their hearts, Stammering in tongues. "Big sister, you know, Thank you so very much, today," Grateful words resound. All the cautious walls, Vanish into bubbles of beer, Fading fast away. Joining in the ring, Smiling in the souvenir, Picture of the night. To my family home, Sending update of my life, Forwarding the shot. With a silly grin, Surrounded by a crowd of men, Caught upon the screen. The immediate call, Ringing out so loud and fierce, Breaking through the phone. "Divorced, and you are, Surrounded by foreign men? What on earth is this?!" "Go and get a match! Do not shorten your parents' lives! Find a husband now!" "Wearing such loose clothes, Smiling like a total mess, The Peak of All Fools!"　 "I get what you're saying, Dad I do Thanks for worrying about me The news from TV and smartphones is always just people getting angry You can't really tell what's true and what's fake just by staring at the screen That's why I think the most important thing is to go see with your own eyes and think for yourself When all kinds of people gather there will be good people and bad people, of course that's just human nature What's important isn't making someone your enemy It's just that our wisdom and kindness as we live in the future are being tested" "...Well, I just said something that sounds a bit cool. But basically, it's not like I want to convince anyone or have a tough debate. If everyone just thinks 'hmm' with their own head, and tomorrow becomes a little easier to live, that's the best thing. Alright. Thinking seriously like that somehow made me hungry. Ah, I brought that strange dish from earlier. Every time I eat it, I feel like my mouth might shoot fire, but my life hack for tomorrow starts with finishing dinner first!" "Whoa, eeeek~! So spicy!!!! My mouth hurts~!!! I wonder if my stomach will be okay tomorrow..." ↓　こっから日本語だぜぃ～　↓ 歌詞が複雑化しちゃいましたん ドアを開け 初夏の異臭に 立ち尽くす 一緒くた 積み上がるゴミ コバエ舞う 一階を 借り上げたのは 異国のと 怒髪天 全てのドアを 叩いて回る 集まった 様々な国 戸惑いの 日本語は 通じぬけれど 身振り手振り 鼻を突き 必死に分ける 集積所 綺麗になり 言葉を超えて 笑い合う 夜更けにね ドアを叩いた 昼の顔 熱帯夜 薄着のままで ついて行く 「パーティ」と 不穏を察し 身構える 腹筋割れた この身体なら 負けは無い もわんとする 男の体臭 ヤバい距離 テーブルに 並ぶ手作りの 郷土料理 全員が 立ち上がり叫ぶ たどたどしく 「姉さんね 今日は本当に ありがとう」 警戒は 酒の泡へと 消え去って 輪に入り 笑って写る 記念写真 じっかへの 近況報告 転送す ニヤケ顔 男の群れに 囲まれて 折り返しの 電話の音は 割れるほど 「バツイチが なぜに外国の 男たち？」 「すぐに荷物まとめろ 明日引っ越せ」 「すぐ実家に戻れ、明日帰ってこい」 「見合いしろ 親の寿命を 縮めるな」 「そんな薄着で へらへら笑って アホの極みだ!!!」 「お父さんの言うことも わかっているよ 心配してくれて ありがとうね テレビやスマホから流れるニュースは いつだって、誰かの怒る声ばかりで 何が本当で、何が嘘なのかなんて 画面を眺めているだけじゃ、きっとわからない だからね 自分のこの目で見に行って 自分で考えてみることが 一番大切だと思うの いろんな人が集まれば いい人も、悪い人も、そりゃあいるよね それが人間っていうものだもの 大切なのは、誰かを敵にすることじゃない これからの時代を生きる私たちの 知恵や優しさが、試されているだけなんだよ」 「……なんて ちょっと格好いいこと言っちゃったけど 要するにね、私はだれかを説得したいわけでも 難しい議論を 戦わせたいわけでもないの みんながそれぞれ 自分の頭で『うーん』って考えて 少しでも 明日が生きやすくなれば それが一番だなって よし まじめに考えたら なんだかお腹が空いちゃった あぁ さっきの不思議な料理貰ってきたんだ なんか食べるたびに 口から火ふきそうになるけど 私の明日へのライフハック まずは晩ごはんの完食から始めよう！」 「うわっ ひぃぃぃぃ～ かっらい!!!! 口がいたぁ～い!!! 明日 お腹大丈夫かな・・・」
