The Japanese Invasion

V5

### Verse 1 **Chords:** Em – C – G – D (6/8, rolling) I wake up to a sea of kana on my phone, Timelines painted in a watercolor tone. コンティニュー? my dreams say “press start,” Every like, every share rewrites my heart. Portland rain on the glass, Pacific white, Screen glow cutting through the morning light. All my heroes wear blue hair and steel, Pixelated halos over what I feel. --- ### Pre-Chorus 1 **Chords:** C – G – D – Em タグは “AI Artist” typed in English only, コメント全部日本語, I’m the foreign lonely. Little messages float by: 「すごい!」in the stream, And someone just writes “thanks!” Like they woke up from a dream. --- ### Chorus **Chords:** Em – C – G – D – Em – C – D – Em This is the Japanese invasion of my screen, No tanks, just videogames and anime sheen. Comic books blooming in the back of my skull, Online accounts where the colors are full. Orchestra rising like a tidal sprite, Violins cutting through the neon night. If I keep staring I’ll go blind in this light— But I already have, I see with my mind, All the time. --- ### Verse 2 **Chords:** Em – C – G – D Down by the river, Pacific tinted sky, People pose for selfies, close one eye. Portland kids crying in the blazing sun, I’m just tracing sprites till the day is done. I hallucinate with both eyes open wide, Sometimes other people do, but they’re driving or they fly. In my case I wasn’t writing, I just used my voice, Sounded like a Scottish witch from Israel by choice. --- ### Pre-Chorus 2 **Chords:** C – G – D – Em アップロード, アップロード, little gallery ghosts, タイムラインで踊る, all my half-finished posts. They bow and say 「ありがとう」 into the flood, And someone types “thanks!” Like a spark in my blood. --- ### Chorus 2 **Chords:** Em – C – G – D – Em – C – D – Em This is the Japanese invasion of my art, No borders, just a UI wrapped around my heart. Final Fantasy choirs in a bedroom flat, Chrono Trigger echoes in a baseball cap. Epic orchestra and J-pop light, Guitar and koto in the same dogfight. If I keep dreaming I’ll fall out of sight— But I’m perfectly here, Streaming this weird Northern light. --- ### Bridge (Symphonic / Choral) **Chords:** Am – Em – C – G – D (Choir, Japanese) 「見て、見て、空の線」 「世界中のアカウント、全部線」 「ここにいる、でもどこにもいない」 「色の中でまだ歌いたい」 (Solo vocal – English) Violins like seagulls over harbor cranes, Taiko heartbeat underneath my veins. If I’m just a handle in a glowing tide, How come all these ghosts feel alive inside? --- ### Final Chorus **Chords:** Em – C – G – D – Em – C – D – Em This is the Japanese invasion of my lane, No war, just playlists looping in the rain. Every panel, every sprite, every frame, Writes my username inside the flame. Symphonic poem on a subway ride, Choral solos on the river side. If you see me floating in that pixel light— Just wave and say “thanks!” And disappear into the night. --- ### Outro **Chords:** Em – C – G – D – Em Shakuhachi echoes, violin sings one last line, Servers humming like a distant shrine. American artist in a borrowed dream, Drowning in a soft, Japanese beam. 「ありがとう」 fades in the scrolling white, I close my eyes and still see the site. The Japanese invasion, gentle and bright— No one gets hurt, We just turn into Light.
