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.

Kirei Na Kubikazari
BLANKEY JET CITY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
世界の色だとしたら
すべての小さな子供達に今すぐ
その事を伝えなくちや
いけないだろう
何よりも先に燃えて行く
あの空が夜に消えて行く前に
どうにでもなればいい
無茶苦茶にしてしまえ
すべてを焼き尽くしてしまえ
無邪気な顔して眠る子供の夢は
恐ろしい物語
でもけして汚れてはいない
夕焼けの色が
この街をゆっくり染めはじめて
また少しだけ世界が終りに近ずいた
森を駆け抜けるオオカミが
美しい足音響かせて
サヨナラを告げる
ずっと続く海岸線
この綺麗な首飾りを君にあげる
愛している 心の底から
眩しい光と争いがあふれる
はじめて出合った この世界を
この綺麗な首飾りを君にあげる
首飾りを
The lyrics to BLANKEY JET CITY's song "Kirei Na Kubikazari" convey a sense of urgency and a call to action. The opening lines suggest that if the colors of the sunset were the true colors of the world, then it is important to immediately convey this to all the small children. It seems like a message of awakening or an invitation to see the world in a different light. The lyrics then express a desire for the sky, which is burning and disappearing into the night, to become anything possible. The singer implies that they want to disrupt and destroy this world that seems chaotic and nonsensical. They want to burn everything down and leave nothing behind.
The second verse describes how the colors of the sunset gradually start to dye the city and hints at the nearing end of the world. The image of a wolf running through the forest with beautiful footsteps symbolizes the impending farewell or goodbye. The lyrics also mention a coastline that stretches continuously, and the singer offers the beautiful necklace as a gift to the person they are addressing.
Overall, the song might be seen as a reflection on the impermanence of the world and a desire to break free from societal constraints. It explores themes of beauty, destruction, and the innocence of children's dreams.
