My life is mine I gonna show you what I am I don’t wanna be nobody else I just wanna be myself Why do you care what others think? I never quits no matter what I don’t wanna lose myself From now on I’m still the same I wanna live as it is I don’t wanna be nobody else I just wanna be my self Where there is a will there is a way? The wish is father to the thought I don’t wanna lose my self From now on Please tell me why you cried and lied But I wish you all the happiness in the world I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself I don’t wanna lose my self I don’t wanna lose my self I don’t wanna lose my self No one can get in my way of life!

Fades away 03:13
I’m feeling blue Cause I heard the sad news What should I do? I’m feel for you But there’s nothing I can do Tears raining in my heart Grief never fades away Grief never fades away Grief never fades away But get over it! Grief never fades away Grief never fades away But rainy days never stay Just like you Just like that I feel the same way I feel like out of sorts Remember that I always stand by you I’m with you You’re not alone Grief never fades away Grief never fades away Grief never fades away But get over it! Grief never fades away Grief never fades away soon But rainy days never stay After a night comes a day

Fate Line 04:15
I always say the same but I know Fly me up so high in my mind So take my hand just in case I'm here all the time Trying to light up the dark tonight When I lost my confidence Trying to open up my heart I’ll be seeing you on my side Reach out to wipe my tears When I’m in deep sorrow Reach out to the truth Just like reading my fate line. I wish I could become a bird but I know Fly me up so high in the sky We are searching for a meaning to live I will be there for you Trying to light up the dark tonight When I lost my confidence Trying to open up my heart I’ll be seeing you on my side Reach out to wipe my tears When I’m in deep sorrow Reach out to the truth Just like reading my fate line

about

Mophing People is a project by Makoto Miyoshi (Rumania Montevideo, Gt/Vo) & Litsuko (ex. Shonen Knife, Ba/Vo), both of them are well known around the Japan Alternative/Rock scene till now. Their debut 'Alternative E.P' was influenced by many Alternative, Grunge till Shoegaze bands, like Dinosaur Jr, Lush, Mud Honey, etc. Mophing People will take you high, from power noisy feedback sounds and bring you down to a melancholy one!

1. Be Myself
LitsukoメインVo。例えばmud honeyなどの90年代グランジ、オルタナのざらつき感にpowerpopのメロディアスなエッセンス。veruca salt好きにおすすめ。しかしこれほど曲全体にわたってギターのfeedback noiseがはいったポップソングが他にあるだろうか。それがbe myself。

2. Anytime
travis,coldplayなどのUKギターロック直系の哀愁溢れるサウンド。サビでは轟音ギターLitsukoのchoが加わり独特の広がりを見せる。正直誠Voは何がいいたいのかよくわからないが雰囲気はある。これほどシンプルでいいのかというほどシンプルだが、だからこそ何度も聞きたくなる。

3. Fades away
これは三好誠とLitsukoが最初にセッションした曲であり、ユニット結成のきっかけとなった曲である。これによりLitsukoのVoが三好誠のノイジーかつ轟音のギターに乗るという基本路線が完成した。4つのコードしか使っていないとは思えないほどメロディアスな感じ。少しdinosaurJr weezerっぽい感じのshoegazer,オルタナパワーポップ。
 
4. Fate line
Mercury Revのようなストリングスとbpm65というゆったりとしたテンポでe.pの最後にふさわしい曲。どっかしらの辛気臭いUKバンドっぽい。しかしこちらも男女混成Voとアコギ、ストリングスにより、まさに映画のエンディング曲のような壮大さを醸し出す名曲。
