Just wanna say this is an awesome work...
I wrote some lyrics that could match with this. Keep in mind that I’m a more Rock/Metal fan than a Hip Hop head, so I picture this as something in the style of Red Hot Chili Peppers but with two vocals, one for the verse and the other for the chorus.
(0:33)
Someday you’ll realize this is the world you live in
(0:37)
To discover the things you thought to never see
(0:41)
To learn that the ocean is deeper than it used to be
(0:45)
To feel the sky is high and yet you still can breathe
(Chorus) (0:49)
Who told you this was a funny game?
(0:52)
They never dare play
(0:56)
They did the same, well, dare to switch the way
(1:00)
Because someday, some day
Some day, some day
(Break)
(2:23)
Someday you will tell me how everything changed
(2:30)
If you remember, then learn to forget
(2:34)
Because someday…
(2:38)
Someday you’ll realize this is the world you live
(2:42)
To discover the things you thought to never see
(2:45)
Tell me if the world owns me something
(2:50)
I thought what I got, was for nothing
(Chorus) (2:54)
Who told you this was a dangerous game?
(2:57)
They never dare to play
(3:01)
They did the same, well, dare to switch the way
(3:05)
Because someday, some day
(3:09)
Who told you this was a funny game?
(3:13)
They never dare play

I only learned a few minutes ago that none of Memories Of Tokyo-To's music is from the games, NO. WAY. That just goes to show how well you perfected the feel of Jest Set Radio's music. Kudos man

Back in 2002 I played JSRF and thought/hoped that the music of the future would be like this. Now listening to this it's more like a blast to the past.

I'm so glad I finished listening to my Discover Weekly. The last song was 2 Mello's "Ba-Da-Ba" and now I can't believe how every one of his albums is right up my alley for a different genre I'm into and every song is just so well made. Amazing work.

Man, you went and punched me right in the childhood

Really, 2 Mello, you should have a lot more subscribers. By the way, I always listen to this album on Spotify for that daily dose of sweet JSR vibes.
