東京事変 Lyrics

I think I only love your profile
And I yours you look nice from the side
Were I you, I would have said something better
Like what? I can find nothing to say

"Try to search for"
You don't know me
'Cause you do not know yourself
Neither do you
Look at yourself

"Try to search for my face of truth"

So we touch each other
Strongly after slight inquiry
And play our trump card
And scar ourselves for life
We are so fine
That is exactly what we have really wanted

I know you better than you know yourself
That's not possible after all, I've never known you
"Try to show me your face of truth"

When I want to put my detector deep inside you
Just as now
You shut off the one way in then hide it away
Just as now
What's more when you want to
Go out I want to stay home, and vice versa
"Lovely!"

You know my profile better than I do
I imagine, and vice versa
I know your profile better than you
I promise, and vice versa
But you'll you never see my front
I'll never see your face
And I'll never see your front
You'll never see my face

Since their inception, Tokyo Jihen has released five studio albums, of which three peaked at number 1 on the Oricon charts.

Shiina had always wished to work with a band, and selected its members while working on her third solo album, 加爾基精液栗ノ花. The band, comprised of guitarist ヒラマミキオ (Mikio Hirama), PE'Z keyboardist H ZETT M, drummer 畑利樹 (Toshiki Hata), and music producer 亀田誠治 (Seiji Kameda) as bassist, was first introduced as Tokyo Jihen during Shiina's Sugoroku Ecstasy tour. Being part of a band allowed Shiina to both share the songwriting process as well as tone down her public image.

In July 2005, H ZETT M and Hirama left the band. H ZETT M returned to his duties as pianist for PE'Z and Hirama returned to his solo career. Two months later, あっぱ pianist and vocalist 伊澤一葉 (Ichiyo Izawa) and 浮雲 (Ukigumo) joined Tokyo Jihen as the replacement keyboardist and guitarist, respectively.

On January 11th 2012 Shiina Ringo announced the band's breakup on their official website.
