無責任一代男
植木等 Lyrics

In "無責任一代男," the singer 植木等 portrays himself as the "most irresponsible man in the world." This is established from the very first line of the song, where he sings, "I am the man who has been called the most irresponsible in this world." 植木等 then goes on to detail how he's been getting by in life by taking advantage of easy opportunities, from his childhood to his adult life. He brags about being the most popular student in his school and getting special treatment from his teachers. He talks about getting a job through connections and then brown-nosing his way up to becoming a department head.

He then briefly touches on his dating and marriage life. The singer says that he flirts with any woman he sees but doesn't really mean to go through with anything more than that. When he's considered for marriage, he backs out because he didn't really have any intention of settling down. Staying with the theme of being irresponsible, he talks about how he just sleeps at his desk at work and still manages to become the president of his company.

In the end, the singer concludes that the most important thing in life is timing, rather than diligence. "無責任一代男" is a satirical commentary on how some people can get by in life based on looks, connections, and taking the path of least resistance, all while avoiding any responsibility themselves.
