… Read Full Bio ↴This page is about the alternative rock band "gadget." from Tokyo.
"gadget." was an alternative rock band based in Tokyo and was active until Dec. 2009.
The members were... KENZO-A(Vo.+Gt.), Marcherry(Ba.+Cho.), Nanka(Ds.+Cho.), Jun-pei(Gt.).
After breaking up, KENZO-A, Marcherry and Nanka formed Gabriels Stiletto.
Jun-pei Joined 東狂黒 (Tokyokuro).
Since KENZO-A was the mastermind of the band, Gabriels Stiletto carries on the music style and some of the songs.
Kenzo-A spent his high-teen era in Los Angels and laid his musical foundation there being sorrounded by arty, psychedelic, punky atmosphere of the city's nature. When he moved to Tokyo, he formed a new band called the Gadget with a drum player Takada (Mono). Then he started a solo project called "gadget. "(in small letters with a dot on the end) and that was the start.
Marcherry was an illustrator who had designed some Kenzo-A's bands' flyers and posters and CD covers. She had no experience as a bass player but some as a saxophone player in a jazz band. She started playing the bass when she decided to join "gadget." .
After several member changes, Nanka joined as a drummer and made a great contribution to developing their rhythm style.
Jun-pei (a.k.a. Red Show) who had just finished his career with a hard rock oriented punk band the Resistance which was well known in Nagoya punk scene, came to Tokyo and saw the gadget.'s show. Although the music style was nothing he's ever experienced, Jun-pei instantly knew it was the band he's meant to play in.
While they play gigs mainly at underground events in Tokyo,
they have established their cult fan base world wide through internet.
This led them to their first Europe tour with Dead Sexy Inc. and Toxic Sonic on November 2008.
On April 2009, they made the come back for second Europe tour including shows at the Le Printemps de Bourges and L'Olympia in France.

gadget. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sure it was an accident
My hands are made of nitroglycerin
That explains the incident
Fortune built my homes in daydreams
Pages I'd never seen
I'm sorry you were so disappointed
The undersigned is you
Lay your life on the line
No questions
(Life on the line)
That's fine
(Life)
Just sign on the dotted line
You didn't hesitate at the inkwell
A sample of the poet's blood
Guitars pluck a tune in the ozone
But me, I'm just stuck in the mud
Fortune left my hopes in daydreams
Pages I'd never seen
I'm sorry you were so disappointed
The contract states quite fundamentally
The undersigned is you
Lay your life on the line
No questions
(Life on the line)
That's fine
(Life)
Just sign on the dotted line
Fortune built my hopes in daydreams
Pages I'd never seen
I'm sorry you were so disappointed
The contract states quite fundamentally
The undersigned is you
Lay your life on the line
The song "Four" by gadget. is a complex yet poetic commentary on the concept of contracts and how they relate to our lives. The opening lines, "I'm sorry about the mess on the table, I'm sure it was an accident, My hands are made of nitroglycerin, That explains the incident", set a tone for the rest of the song that is filled with remorse, apologies, and explanations for why things are the way they are.
The lyrics then shift to the idea of "Fortune" building homes and hopes in daydreams and pages the singer has never seen. This speaks to the idea of ambition and the pursuit of success in our lives. The line "The undersigned is you, Lay your life on the line" is the pivotal moment in the song where it becomes clear that the singer is addressing someone specific - someone who has signed a contract and made a significant commitment.
The song is ultimately about the power dynamic inherent in contracts - when you sign on the dotted line, you are making a commitment that could potentially change your life forever. The repeated refrain of "No questions, that's fine, just sign on the dotted line" drives home this point even further, emphasizing that there may not be any room for questioning or hesitation once a contract is signed.
Overall, the lyrics to "Four" are incredibly introspective and poetic, exploring complex ideas about contracts and the decisions we make in our lives.
