A fast read before the full lyric

A raw J-pop track from 1997 that asks 'Baby nande?' over and over, never quite getting an answer.

The phrase 'Baby nande?' isn't really looking for an explanation.

It's more like a pressure valve, the sound of someone hitting a wall they can't get past.

Editor's note

DaeSung's Awake, Alseep and the question why

A raw J-pop track from 1997 that asks 'Baby nande?' over and over, never quite getting an answer.

Mata dokokade attemo Nanikuwanu kaode surechigaudake

The phrase 'Baby nande?' isn't really looking for an explanation. It's more like a pressure valve, the sound of someone hitting a wall they can't get past. When it shifts to 'Tell me bokuni tarunaimonowa nanda', 'Tell me what I'm lacking', the need shifts from why to what's wrong with me, which might be harder to answer.

Meeting again somewhere and just passing by with expressionless faces, that's the real quiet defeat. It's not a fight, just emptiness.

The way 'Baby nande?' cuts through each time, almost interrupting the flow, gives the track its ragged, insistent pulse.

Baby nande? Boku dake konna meni

Lady datte honki datta kimini

Konna koiwa hajimete imawa

Anata shika mienainoto

Korewa unmei…

Nante sono kotoba shinjitanoni why?

Samete yukunoka donna jounetsumo

Kimiga nozomu subetewo na

Kanaete kitadarou

Nemure kanashimimo nanimo kamo

Mata dokokade attemo

Nanikuwanu kaode surechigaudake

Baby nande? Kimidake mitetanoni

Tell me bokuni tarunaimonowa nanda

Tatoe sekaiwo tekini shitemo

Samete yukunoka donna jounetsumo

Kimiga nozomu subetewo

Na kanaete kitadarou

Nemure kanashimimo nanimo kamo

Mata dokokade attemo

Nanikuwanu kaode surechigaudake
