In a 2001 interview, influential alternative musician and producer Jim O'Rourke (known for his work with Sonic Youth, amongst others) picked a Togawa Jun album 20th Jun Togawa as one of his "best albums of the year."
Although her deeply un-commercial attitude kept her away from major "pop" success, she survived as an influential and respected underground music figure both solo and as the lead singer of Guernica (ゲルニカ) and Yapoos (ヤプーズ), and she recently released a new CD with her current project Jun Togawa Band (戸川純バンド) featuring elements of noise rock, disco, techno-pop, opera and various other genres, to favourable reviews from many underground music fans in Japan.
恋のコリーダ
戸川純 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
朝の光が眩しくて 横たわった男を照らす
煩悩の舟で業の海を征く
ラララ自我崩壊の夢を見ただけ
床の血痕 拭いつつ 子供の頃を思い出す
打撲に歪んだ男に比べ 何て静かな一日の訪れ
煩悩の舟で業の海を征く理性崩壊の夢を見ただけ
征服欲の湖水は満ちて 流れて落ちる破滅の滝へ
煩悩の舟で業の海を征く 秩序崩壊の夢を見ただけ
胸中 深く轟きて 声が聞こえる血潮の声が
呼んでいざなう混沌の ブラフマン的大宇宙
煩悩の舟で業の海を征く ラララ自我崩壊の恋の闘牛
The lyrics to 戸川純's song 恋のコリーダ describe a dream-like experience where the singer cannot remember what happened but realizes that they are holding a hammer in their right hand. The imagery in the song is impressionistic and surreal, with the morning light shining on a man lying down and memories of childhood rising to the surface. The singer is traveling on a boat of worldly desires through a sea of karma, experiencing dreams of ego collapse, rational collapse, and order collapse. The dreams ultimately lead to the conquest of the singer's love and an invitation to enter the chaotic universe of Brahma.
Through the exploration of the singer's dream-like state of mind, the song tackles themes of memory, desire, and the chaos of the universe. The lyrics use vivid imagery to create a surreal atmosphere that encourages the listener to engage with the meanings behind the words.

Lyrics:
I don’t remember if something happened
I’m gripping a hammer in my right hand
The morning sun is dazzling
And it illuminates a man outstretched
On a boat of kleshas
I cross the river of karma
La la la I simply had a dream
About ego death
As I wipe up the bloodstains on the floor
I remember back to my childhood
Compared to that boy bent by blows
What a peaceful day this was
On a boat of kleshas
I cross the river of karma
I simply had a dream
About the destruction of rationality
The tide has risen on the lake of conquest
And it flows towards a waterfall of destruction
For whose sake do these glistening tears fall?
The person I love is in my hands
On a boat of kleshas
I cross the river of karma
I simply had a dream
About the destruction of order
My heart throbs deep in my chest
And my spirit can hear a voice
A Brahman cosmos in disorder
Calling out to me
On a boat of kleshas
I cross the river of karma
La la la the bullfight
Of an ego death love

この歌大好きだ！戸川純も大好きだし、なによりレインボー戦隊ロビンが大好きだからです！
@mark-bo3qs
音程的にはカラオケのウォーミングアップに最適な曲です。
もちろん純ちゃんの歌い方は真似できません。
