2027Text: Kurando Furuya, Hitoshi Odajima, Tomoki Kurokawa

Fuck you, son of a bitch!

Return From the Darkness

Return From the Darkness

Wow.

Am I blacking out now? Is this a god talking by himself?
Am I like a pink dumbo? Or the three caballeros?
Well, it’s a valuable experience.

“Hey, are you all right?”

All right, all right.

Anyway I wanna see this view well.
The green light I see over there.
No. It’s red.

Am I going to die?

Taking a black dog,
along the river
to go up steadily……

There are black pets dancing.

Fluffy, fluffy.

And Renown girls in some place are also dancing.

“Hey, K.”

Who? Kami-sama’s voice?

“Indeed. I am a Kami-sama. You must speak out.”

What? What should I speak?

“You must advertise.”

Oh, right.
I almost forgot a solid light bulb in my room was getting burned out.
I’ve gotta go get it after work tomorrow, otherwise I can’t move myself like memo memo.

“Hey, are you OK?”

Oh, I hear 21LO’s voice.

The money I lent him was a thousand yen bill (Japanese yen? Euro? Pound?) which was picked up by Genpei Akasegawa.

What am I, what am I, what am I talking about.

If I’m like this……

If I’m like this……, friends of mine will forsake me.

Return From the Darkness

Opened my eyes, I see unfamiliar ceiling.
A Zakuian with a familiar face is looking into my face.
Looking to the right, I see the back of Nomura-san leaving the room in a hurry.
They are chatting something, but I can’t hear.

K “Well……”
2 “Are you OK?”
K “Yeah. I’m OK. Thanks.”
2 “Can you wake up?”
K “Yeah. Well, you know I saw something so cool. A dream that I go to a club in Manchester……”
2 “A dream?”
K “What? Is it real?”
2 “No, it’s not that. Are you going crazy like you got punched in the head?”
K “Well, don’t know. Anyway it was too dark to see, but something realistic……well……”
2 “You know, speak later something like that when you get sober. But it’s good at least you can speak. The scary Nomura-san left somewhere.”
K “A porn book.”
2 “He took the porn book. A Lolita bitch. I don’t fucking return this equipment, you know.”
K “Huh.”

K “Oh, right! I saw a paper. Kami-sama.”
2 “What? Did you go mad?”
K “No no. He told me to “speak” anyway. A revelation?”
2 “God is dangerous. That opinion. We must feel ashamed of religion in this country.”
K “No. It’s about paper. Kami-sama. And he told me to advertise.”
2 “You mean the book?”
K “Yes. He was a nice Kami-sama. He also gave me money, in a club or somewhere in Manchester.”
2 “What are you talking about? It’s way psychedelic.”
K “Yeah, it was like udon psychedelic.”
2 “A ha ha ha ha ha!!! Oshiri Pen Penz!!!
K “Huh huh.”
2 “Ha ha ha ha ha!!!”
K “Ha ha ha! Anyway, it’s so psychedelic.”
2 “Got it. Let’s do it on the radio in that sense.”
K “Yeah. Radio.”
2 “Can you get up?”
K “Well, probably”
2 “Never come to the damn room like this again.”
K “Fucking Nomura!”
2 “Never return the equipment.”
