Phantom Vibration
Lyrics: Yamasaki Seiya
Music: Kyuso Nekokami
I look at it more than anyone, even more than I look at the girl I like
I look at it for two hours in one day, this tiny appliance has
developed and has passed through culture, the entire world in the palm of my hand,
a more realistic reality, eating into our reality.
Whatever time it is, checking it comes to mind and I am soon gazing at my smart phone
Even if I don’t have to, I still am looking at it, checking out 2chan summaries,
Majikichi Conan(1) is pretty funny, right, I’m gonna bust a gut laughing on the train
Shut up, Shut up, my phone is calling, it’s just an email magazine but I’ve got to react, it’s not ringing, but I think it might ring, my smartphone is already a physical part of me
Phone calls and email and apps and LINE, I’m not looking, but I need to check it
I felt it vibrate, even if it’s an email magazine, even then, I’m not looking, but I need to check it
Incoming call from an unknown number, even if they’re calling me, I can’t take the time
An message with mysterious contents arrived three days ago, I need to check it
Oh, what should I do, just as I thought, I need to check it, even though I just did, I pick up my smart phone becaue I need to check it
The day when our hearts and bodies will dance along riding the electro-magnetic waves is near
my smartphone is already a physical part of me
I need the info when something goes on, since the net is open to the public
Always seeking community, despite harming community in reality
Looking for entertaining news, trying out newly made apps
Sending picture messages of anything and everything, filling up all folder capacity
Whatever time it is, checking it comes to mind, your smartphone is always near
No matter what it looks like, if my battery dies, I’ll be looking for a plug
Even if for a moment I lose mobile connection when my smartphone battery dies, I need to check it, need to check it
Shut up, Shut up, my phone is calling, it’s just an email magazine but I’ve got to react, it’s not ringing, but I think it might ring, my smartphone is already a physical part of me
my smartphone is already a physical part of me
Phone calls and email and apps and LINE, I’m not looking, but I need to check it
I felt it vibrate, even if it’s an email magazine, even then, I’m not looking, but I need to check it
Even if for one day, I’m separated from my smartphone and I try to freely go through my day,
Even then we continue our dependence on the convenient smartphones we love so much
Aah, my fellows and I are constantly lonely, doing nothing but seeking connections to others,
But in the end have no more connections to people in reality, nevertheless, you are calling me
my smartphone is already a physical part of me (x8)
1) So, majikichi is 2ch lingo meaning “seriously messed up,” I don’t frequent 2ch enough to know what exactly this refers to, but I’m assuming it’s a meme…I’ve found some posts rewriting Detective Conan manga scripts with crude jokes and vulgarity…so probs that
