Togawa Jun (戸川純), born March 31, 1961, is an experimental Japanese vocalist… Read Full Bio ↴Togawa Jun (戸川純), born March 31, 1961, is an experimental Japanese vocalist and visual artist. Debuting in 1984, she began her career as a parody of the typical Japanese idol star at the time. It was soon apparent that her eccentric personality, surreal or disturbing lyrics and extensive vocal range set her apart from the usual cute pop singers that were popular in Japan. Her mash-up of "lolita" voice, straight singing, screaming, and operatics, married to traditional Japanese melodies, militaristic marching themes, and techno-pop continue to endear her to Japanese "maniac" fans, such as devotees of horror or erotic manga, particularly young women.

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.

『People in the Forest』
music by：Jun Togawa
Lyrics by：Kenzo Saeki
Composed：Takao Higae＆Iva Davies

The two of us are lost in a forest
We feel a gaze upon our backs
Deep in a forest where wind does not blow
We begin to hear murmurs

Now we see them, now we don't
Face to face
They peek and they laugh
Exchanging a glance
Eyes to Eyes
They keep watch in silence

People in the forest
People in the forest

The two of us are tired of walking
But now we sense a gazing eye
Deep in the silence of a grove
We hear a giggle and feel a shudder

Now we see them, now we don't
Face to face
They peek and they laugh
Exchanging a glance
Eyes to Eyes
They keep watch in silence

People in the forest
People in the forest
People in the forest
People in the forest
People in the forest
People in the forest

作曲：比賀江隆男＆Iva Davies

迷い込んだ私達見つめている視線感じる
風も吹かぬ森の中囁きあう噂きこえる
見え隠れする Face to Face 見合わせて微笑む
目くばせする Eyes to Eyes 見つめあいおし黙る
People in the forest
People in the forest

歩き疲れた私達眺めている瞳感じる
黙り込んだやぶの中ひそみ笑いひやりこぼれる
見えかくれする Face to Face 見合わせて微笑む
目くばせする Eyes to Eyes 見つめあいおし黙る

People in the forest

Писатель Гиичи Фудзимото сказал: «Гении не видят маленьких каменных валков. Подумайте о большой вселенной».
Я думаю «сейчас» на пространственном уровне.
Также учитель часто говорил, что видел ноздрю, но у женщины, пришедшей ко мне в мае 2020 года, было угольно-черное темное лицо и кольцо света, вместо глаз было два, вместо ноздрей — два, а один вместо рта. Я остановился и уставился на нее, но когда мои волосы мгновенно выросли примерно на 2 м, я был убежден, что «О, я возвращаюсь оттуда в человеческую фигуру», и покинул это место.

Или от Майтрейи (369) Бодхисаттва 〘Мирокубосацу ∞〙

The writer, Giichi Fujimoto, said, "Geniuses don't see small stone rolls. Think of the big universe."
I think "now" at the spatial level.
Also, the teacher often said that he saw a nostril, but the woman who came to see me in May 2020 had a jet-black dark face and a ring of light. There were two instead of eyes, two instead of nostrils, and one instead of mouth. I stopped and ended up staring at her, but when her hair grew about 2m instantly, I was convinced that "Oh, I'm going back to a human figure", and that's the place. I left.

@Ja Sam My favorite album is "Tokyo no Yaban". I feel that Jun Togawa's personality was very much captured in it. She's such a versatile artist, and there are many other things to listen to, such as albums from the Guernica era and those from her band YAPOOS.

It crosses the borders of chy and being pure and vibrant and this is why I love that period of 80s it is special not in Japan only but the whole world was different than now. I was kid then to experience that magical sense. Ouuff I miss these years.

I think she is too unique for that statement to be true, she is just herself. I can see the comparison tho, specially The Dreaming Kate, only Jun has a more futuristic (not on this song ofc), sometimes kind of gory and more surreal thing going on.
