Originally a 5-piece all-girl high school band that covered songs by チャットモンチー, GO!GO!7188 and Sambomaster, they began writing their own songs and performing locally around Tokyo. In 2013, as high school seniors they were finalists in the Yokohama Highschool Music Festival. To concentrate on studying for university entrance exams, the band went on hiatus but reunited as a 3-piece and began playing shows again in March 2015.
Their music shares the same soulfulness, dark lyrical content, emotional power and sonic intensity as リーガルリリー and きのこ帝国's earliest material.
Ending
Hitsujibungaku Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
もうやめだ
君もわたしを愛するの
もうやめよう
物語の頁数を数えるのは
もうやめよう
ある時
気づけば僕らは
終わりを望む
君のこと考えるの
もうやめよう
そしてあといくつ
過ちを繰り返せば分かる? 分かる?
透明な街 東京は晴れ
呼吸は正常 心は空
透明な君 東京は影
呼吸が苦しい 風がいっぱい
僕ら
どこへも行けずに
夕陽を見るのよ
ある時
気づけば僕らは
終わりを望むよ
望むよ
These lyrics from Hitsujibungaku's song "Ending" express the singer's desire to move on from a relationship. The first two lines express the desire to stop thinking about the other person and to stop loving them. The following line talks about stopping the counting of the pages of the story, perhaps indicating that the singer wants to stop dwelling on the past and move on. The fourth line reveals that the singer has reached a point where they are hoping for an end to the relationship.
The second stanza contrasts the transparency of Tokyo's streets and the singer's own clarity of mind and heart with the transparency of the other person in the relationship, who seems opaque and difficult to understand. The final lines of the song describe the two people being unable to go anywhere and watching the sunset together, with the singer once again acknowledging their wish for the relationship to end.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of resignation and a desire to let go of a relationship that is no longer working. The imagery of the transparent city and the opaque lover build upon this theme and create a powerful sense of contrast and emotional distance.
