GINZA! Featuring Mieko Akaba (©2006 John T. Windle)
“Who me? I’m a talking about a Ginza.
Ah-I’m a coming here for many years
Hm…from my young girl. He-he-hee.
Mm, umm here-when I’m here
I feel like am becoming little girl-
uh-princess ha ha”.
Irrashaimase. Nanka osagashide irrashaimasu deshouka?
Irrashaimase. Nanka osagashide irrashaimasu deshouka?
Cruising over the scene
Gazing on the game gridiron.
Surveying the streets, the beauties and the beasts
with their weapons turned on.
Wandering around this town,
whispering it’s institution.
The conviction, the desire
and the fire within
I see I am steered to a conclusion:
Ginza women are shopping machines.
Purses loaded, poised to intervene.
Ginza women are shopping machines.
GINZA! GINZA!
Ginza women are shopping machines.
Raison d’être: purchasing dreams.
Ginza women are shopping machines.
GINZA! GINZA!
I’ve tried to decipher
The de-pa-to demographic
Girls and their mothers and grandmothers in tow
There’s no class, it’s eclectic(a).
Ginza women are shopping machines.
Ginza women are shopping machines.
Ginza women are shopping machines.
Ginza women are shopping machines.
GINZA! GINZA!
He he heh don’t you know?
He he heh don’t you know?
Do you take shopping
To be your lawfully wedded husband,
to have and to hold from this day forward?
For better, for worse,
for richer or poorer?
In sickness and in health,
until death do you part?
Don’t you know?
Don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t you know?
Irrashaimase. Nanka osagashide irrashaimasu deshouka?
Irrashaimase. Nanka osagashide irrashaimasu deshouka?
Men should not neglect
this residence of silver.
When love is frost, ignore the cost,
this magnet always delivers.
The temples rise and fall
to serve the voided vixens.
Tetris in the capitalist-Tristessas are everywhere
healing themselves,
there’s solace in shelves.
Ginza women are shopping machines.
Purses loaded, poised to intervene.
Ginza women are shopping machines.
GINZA! GINZA!
Ginza women are shopping machines.
Raison d’être: purchasing dreams.
Ginza women are shopping machines.
GINZA! GINZA!
