1. Unicorn from the United Kingdom played country and folk rock. They broke up in 1977. Several of the bands album were produced by (and featured contributions by) David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

2. Unicorn was a progressive melodic rock band from Sweden, fronted by Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge of Sanity, Nightingale). They released two full-length albums (Emotional Wasteland and Ever Since), two EPs (After Before and The Weirdest of Tales), and two demos (A Collection of Worlds I and A Collection of Worlds II).

The band's style was a far cry from the brutal death metal Swano would later become known for. (Swano formed Unicorn as a young teen.) Unicorn is a very melodic, light progressive band. Nightingale comes closest to their style, though even Nightingale is much heavier.

Swano is currently working on a new project called Second Sky. He says Second Sky is the new Unicorn. An album is expected in 2009.

3. Unicorn (ユニコーン) is a Japanese band fronted by Okuda Tamio(奥田民生), active in the 80s and early 90s. During that time the band released eight albums and nine singles. The band reunited in 2009.

12. UNICORN from the U.S. plays noise drone electronics. W. T. Nelson formerly of Bastard Noise (risen from the ashes of Man Is the Bastard) and Sleestak has released a split CD with noise artist 2673, a split CD with Bastard Noise, and a full-length titled "Playing with Light". Less harsh and more melodic than previous projects.

15. Unicorn is a five-member girl group formed for Girls Planet 999's Creation Mission. The group consists of K-Group's Kang Ye Seo (강예서), Kim Bo Ra (김보라) and Kim Chae Hyun (김채현), C-Group's Huang Xing Qiao (黄星侨), and J-Group's Kawaguchi Yurina (川口ゆりな). Together, the team performed and released "Utopia".

16. Unicorn ( 유니콘‬ ) was a five member South-Korean group under Cartoon Blue Company. Produced by R&B singer Kim Jo Han, they debuted on September 3, 2015 with the mini-album UNICORN 'Once Upon A Time'. The group disbanded in September 2017. The group consisted of Rumi, Yujin, Gayoung, Sally and Winnie (who had left the group before their disband). Sally is now a soloist under the name Soseo and Gayoung is now a soloist under the name Mauve with the debut single My Cat.

17. Unicorn is led by Jenna Hardie, who has previously fronted other Perth bands like The Government and Gold Suns. Unicorn has released two singles so far, Cats and Twisted.

仕事できる男それが彼女の好み
気合入れて勤めたのだが忙しいわつまんないわ
今の会社かなりレベル高い方だし
親父がらみのコネもあるからやめるわきゃないし

いつも僕はひとりきりフロに入って寝るだけ

たまにオフィスで電話かけたら彼女の声が

忙しいのは自分だけと思わないでジャマしないで

眺めることさえできない君の髪を歩く姿を
眠る事しかできないせめて夢の中ででも君に逢いたい

いつも僕はひとりきりフロに入って寝るだけ
いつも僕はひとりきり明日のために寝るだけ
いつも僕はひとりきりいつも僕はひとりきり

眺めることさえできない君の髪を歩く姿を
眠る事しかできないせめて夢の中ででも

思い出す事ができない君の裸をとぎれる声を
眠る事しかできないせめて夢の中ででも

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of UNICORN ユニコーン's song Hataraku Otoko 働く男 paint a picture of a man who is trying his best to impress his girlfriend by working hard at his job. However, despite his efforts, he finds his work dull and unfulfilling. The company he works for is known as one of the best, and he even has connections through his dad, so he feels like he can't just quit. The man's loneliness is palpable as he spends his nights alone in his apartment, sleeping or occasionally calling his girlfriend. She too is busy with work, but he wishes he could spend more time with her, even if just to watch her walk or look at her hair.

The theme of the song revolves around the idea of conformity and trying to fit into societal norms. "Hataraku Otoko" loosely translates to "working man," and the lyrics imply that such a person is expected to work hard, even if they don't like their job. There is also an underlying sense of longing for a deeper connection and frustration with the monotony of daily life. The man's inability to even remember his girlfriend's naked body or the sound of her voice emphasizes the sense of isolation and disconnection from his own desires and emotions.
