Additional info on some of the above artists...
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.

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.

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.

人は大変忙しいのに
僕のまわりは誘惑だらけ
うれしいね
今日も朝からテレビとビール
君はそれをプー太郎と言うけれど
いつもそばにいるだけ
君を愛してるよ
仲直りの情事 君は特にきれいさ
Woo...
今日はとっても天気がいいよね
おまけに鳥も泣きじゃくりだし
そんな日には午後から
そうね熱海にでも Oh
たまには休まなきゃね
退屈の向うで出るものは出るのさ
Woo...
大きな雲が流れて行くよ
小さな声の虫も 死んでゆく
いつもそばにいるだけ
だけど愛してるよ Oh
今日はとっても天気はいいけど
朝から君は泣きじゃくりだし
そんな日には2人で
そうね熱海にでも Oh Oh
僕のまわりは誘惑だらけ
うれしいね
In the song "開店休業" by Unicorn, the lyrics reflect a sense of busyness and distraction that surrounds the singer. The opening lines convey the overwhelming nature of life, where people are so busy that they feel like they would even loan out a cat's paw. This metaphor emphasizes the extreme level of busyness and the constant temptations that the singer experiences in their surroundings. Despite the chaos, the singer finds joy in the midst of it all, highlighting a sense of contentment or perhaps resignation to their situation.
The lyrics also touch upon the mundane activities that provide a sense of comfort or escape for the singer. Mention of watching TV and drinking beer in the morning suggests a routine or habit that the singer finds solace in. The reference to "プー太郎" (Poo Tarou) adds a playful element to the lyrics, indicating a lighthearted interaction or nickname within the singer's relationship. The declaration of love towards someone close to them reveals a deeper emotional connection amidst the distractions and temptations in their environment.
As the song progresses, the imagery of a beautiful day with crying birds adds a contrast to the initial sense of busyness and distraction. The mention of going to Atami in the afternoon suggests a desire for relaxation or escape from the daily grind. The lyrics convey a need for occasional rest and respite from boredom or monotony, acknowledging the importance of taking a break to recharge and reset amidst the chaos of everyday life.
The refrain of "Woo..." throughout the song enhances the dreamlike or contemplative atmosphere, emphasizing the singer's introspection and emotional depth. The repeated motif of being constantly by someone's side and loving them despite the challenges or distractions further underscores the theme of finding solace and meaning in relationships amidst the chaos of life. Ultimately, the lyrics of "開店休業" by Unicorn capture a mix of emotions, ranging from busyness and temptation to love and appreciation for the simple moments of joy and connection in everyday life.
