In 2013, on the DizastaMusic YouTube channel, Miller created the video "Do the Harlem Shake (Original)," which originated from a clip of the video "Filthy Compilation #6 – Smell My Fingers",the video has been viewed 60 million times (as of February 2019). The original clip led to the creation of the Harlem Shake meme, which was directly responsible for the debut of Baauer's "Harlem Shake" song atop the Billboard Hot 100. In addition to the DizastaMusic channel (inactive since 2015), he has operated two other channels: TooDamnFilthy (a secondary channel) and TVFilthyFrank (main channel).
His absurdist YouTube channel, now defunct, consisted of music, rants, ukulele performances, and a bizarre show, with all of the main characters played by Miller including the titular character of Filthy Frank. He also produced absurdist comedy music under the moniker Pink Guy, with his discography spanning two full-length albums and an EP. His second album, Pink Season, debuted at number 70 on Billboard 200.
In late 2017, Miller retired from the YouTube channel to focus on his music career under the name Joji, producing more nuanced and serious music, releasing the EP In Tongues, which peaked at number 58 on the Billboard 200, and his debut studio album BALLADS 1, which reached number 1 on Billboard's top R&B and hip-hop chart in November 2018. With this, Miller became the first Asian artist to do so. Miller's music has been described as a mix between R&B and trip-hop. As of 2022, Joji has released two more studio albums: Nectar on September 25, 2020, and SMITHEREENS on November 4, 2022.
Love U
Joji Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
過ぎた日々のSweet soul music
切なすぎる想い出さ
I love you so
流れゆくメロディライン
何もかも止めてしまう
この街角 出逢いそうで
I love you so
木洩れ陽のようなお前のこと
愛し続けてる
何も言わずに消えちまった
冬のあの日を忘れない
お前はそうさ いつだって
運んでくれたよ Good luck
ひと目だけでも逢いたくて
車を飛ばした
魂の抜け殼さ
お前失くしたあの日から
もう一度抱き寄せたい
I love you so
木洩れ陽のようなお前のこと
愛し続けてる
何も言わずに消えちまった
冬のあの日を忘れない
お前はそうさ いつだって
運んでくれたよ Good luck
ひと目だけでも逢いたくて
車を飛ばした
唇が覚えてる
過ぎた日々のSweet soul music
切なすぎる想い出さ
I love you so
The lyrics of "Love U" by Joji reflect on past memories with a former partner and the longing to see them again. The song begins by reminiscing about the past with the mention of "Sweet soul music" and how it evokes bittersweet memories. The chorus expresses the deep love and desire the singer has for their former partner, despite being aware that they do not feel the same (the line "you don't love me, no more" is repeated).
The second verse mentions a specific memory from the winter where the partner disappeared without a word. The singer continues to hold on to his love for the partner, expressing that he wants to hold them again, and mentions how he drove quickly to find them. The song ends with repeating the first verse, emphasizing the impact the past memories have on the singer with the line "I love you so" being the sentiment that carries throughout.
The song's lyrics showcase the raw and emotional journey of a person hung up on their past love. The references to music and memories further emphasize this nostalgia. The use of imagery such as "wood-filtered sunlight" and "empty shell of the soul" add to the melancholic tone.
