Throughout their 10 years of activities the band experimented with a variety of different styles, such as rockabilly and surf-rock. Their lyrics–most of which were written by Asai–touched upon serious matters such as broken families and animal mistreatment, but also imaginative creatures and individuals made up in Asai’s mind. The band’s lineup remained consistent until breaking up in 2000. After the disbandment, Asai Kenichi created his own label, Sexy Stones Records, and founded the bands SHERBETS, JUDE and AJICO. Drummer Nakamura Tatsuya went on to concentrate on his LOSALIOS project, while bassist Terui Toshiyuki recorded material in bands such as ROSSO and RAVEN. In later years, he has also played bass on some of Asai Kenichi’s solo project releases.

動物実験撲滅ソング
BLANKEY JET CITY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ウッドベースかき鳴らす
TERRY ショーが終わって
STING RAYのルーフ
腕を伸ばしたRUBY Life my Surfing
ステレオが夕陽に染まり
本能たちが目覚めてゆくよ
緩やかなカーヴを描いて
ポニーテイルのほうが
きっともてるよHONEY
明かさないで
この世界の仕組みなんかを
くだらないこの社会だぜ
だれもかれもが
12数えたら少年たちは
Get a forever. May be.
明かさないで
この箱の仕組みなんかを
変えれない運命なんて
どこにもないよ
CHINESE RESTAURANTで
ウッドベースかき鳴らす
TERRY Knife together
12数えたら少年たちは
ナイフ手に入れているかも
These lyrics are from the song "動物実験撲滅ソング" ("Animal Experiment Annihilation Song") by the Japanese rock band BLANKEY JET CITY. The lyrics depict a scene at a Chinese restaurant where different characters and elements come together. The mention of bassist Terry and the end of his show, along with the roof of the Sting Ray, sets the stage for the atmosphere in the song. Ruby, who stretches her arm and surfs through life, represents a sense of freedom and adventure. The stereo turning red as the sunset colors it suggests the awakening of instincts. Elizabeth's guitar and the mention of a ponytail hint at her attractiveness and popularity.
The lyrics then shift to a deeper message, urging not to reveal the mechanisms of the world and society, as they are seen as trivial and meaningless. Everyone, including the boys who have reached the age of twelve, should focus on getting a forever, perhaps indicating that they should find their own purpose or passion. The repetition of "明かさないで" ("Don't reveal") reinforces this plea to not expose the workings of the world.
The mention of a knife in the final lines could carry different interpretations. It could symbolize the arms these young boys have acquired or suggest an element of danger or rebellion. Ultimately, the message seems to advocate for finding individual agency and not being confined by predetermined destinies.

STING RAY?ルーフってあるから、車の事ですよね⁉️コルベットのスティングレイで画像を見たのですが、とても綺麗なラインを持ったカッコいい車ですね。🤗 タイトル名の動物を人間(私達)と仮定すると、強烈なメッセージソングですね。
