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.

胸がこわれそう
BLANKEY JET CITY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
私を犯してほしい
叫び声がとだえるまで
底のない真暗な
空間を高速で落ちて行くような
快感に私は飢えているの
生きてゆく全ての理由が
そこにしか見出せないでいる私は
そういう置手紙を残し
彼女は俺の家から
いなくなった
春の日ざしが優しく2人を包んでた
海沿いの公園を自転車で走りぬけ
息を切らしながら
入ったレストランで
愛しているって言った君は
きれいな心の持ち主
だから僕はうれしくて
胸がいっぱいだったさ
そういう思い出を残して
彼女は俺の家から
いなくなった
いなくなった
いなくなった......
These lyrics depict the intense emotions and desires of the singer in BLANKEY JET CITY's song "胸がこわれそう" (Mune ga Kowaresou). The first paragraph expresses the singer's longing for someone to ravish and violate them with their wild imagination. They crave the pleasure of descending rapidly into a bottomless, pitch-black space until their screams subside. This desire stems from their belief that all the reasons to keep living can only be found in that sensation, suggesting their purity.
In the second paragraph, the lyrics describe a scene where the warm spring sunlight embraces the two individuals. They ride their bicycles through a park along the seaside, gasping for breath as they reach a restaurant. It is here that the singer confesses their love to the person they are with, recognizing them as someone with a beautiful and pure heart. The singer is filled with joy and their heart overflows with emotions. This moment of happiness and connection is remembered fondly.
The final three lines repeat the phrase "いなくなった" (inaku natta), which means "disappeared" or "vanished." These words signify the departure of the subject, presumably the person the singer was in love with. The mention of leaving a letter behind further emphasizes their sudden and unexpected absence. The lyrics evoke a feeling of loss and longing, leaving the singer to lament the disappearance of their beloved, creating a sense of mystery and unanswered questions.
