日本語

例えば今5年前に または10年前に戻ったって 僕はどうせ此処に辿り着いて ほらねと思うだけ もっと上手くやれたはずだった もっと金も名誉もあったはずだ だけどこんな今日でこんな傷がなくちゃ 僕はきっと僕じゃないのです Bring it！ 譲れないとしたら Bring it！ 捨てられないとしたら 誰もが負債と思うだけのストーリー Bring off！ そこに君がいて Bring off！ 理由があって 今になって思うわ だから死ねないんだ だからこんな千載一遇 二度と逃すかよ

Dance！(Dance！) Dance！(Dance！) どうやらやっと僕の番だ Chance(Chance！) Chance！(Chance！) どこまで行ってやろうかね 未熟さに迷って 過ちに転んで だけどついに始まった Now Time is now Now Now Now Dance！(Dance！) Dance！(Dance！) どうやらこっちで良かった Chance！(Chance！) Chance！(Chance！) いま光が見えたような こんな散々な人生も悪くないさ 楽しくなんて無いが 生き甲斐ばっか転がってんだ

別の世界に僕がいて そこできれいに夢叶えていて 今しれっと入れ替わりたいかって 一度は思うだろ どうせ思うだけでやんないさ どうせ僕の僕はこの僕だ そしてやっとやっとやっとやっと 行き着いた今日が勿体無いよな Bring it！ かわせないとしたら Bring it！ 受けてたて艱難 そうやって知らずに未来を救って Bring off！ 報われやしないが Bring off！ 実は繋がって今になって思うわ だから生きてんだ だからこんな千載一遇 ただで済ますかよ

Dance！(Dance！) Dance！(Dance！) どうやらやっと僕の番だ Chance！(Chance！) Chance！(Chance！) ここまで来たんだ このままこんな散々な 人生も悪くないさ 楽しくなんて無いが 虚しいばっかでもないだろう

’cause it’s my life たくさん取りこぼした ’cause it’s my life 間違いばかりで ’cause it’s my life やめちゃおうともした した した して ’cause it’s my life でもここに居るんだ ’cause it’s my life まだやれるよな ’cause it’s my life これまでのすべてが 交ざって 重なって こしらえた渾身のChance さて ただで済ますかよ 二度と逃すかよ

Dance！(Dance！) Dance！(Dance！) どうやらやっと僕の番だ Chance！(Chance！) Chance！(Chance！) どこまで行ってやろうかね 未熟さに迷って 過ちに転んで だけどついに始まった Now Time is now Now Now Now Dance！(Dance！) Dance！(Dance！) どうやらこっちで良かった Chance！(Chance！) Chance！(Chance！) いま光が見えたあっち こんな散々な人生も悪くないさ 楽しくなんて無いが 生き甲斐ばっか転がって 今ひとつ手が届くだろう

I'm new to PGR. So I want to ask do you have the link of Yoji covering Kemu(Horie)'s song that you mentioned on band profile? ＾∇＾）

Hi anon! Sorry but he deleted all of his covers already a few years ago and I couldn’t save any of them. :’(

But as a band, they did cover Kemu’s Haiboku no Shounen, which you may listen to here:

Sorry I couldn’t be of more help, but hope you enjoy this!

PGR『シニバショダンス』LYRICS

Lyrics for Shinibasho Dance from PGR’s first album「Haisha Fukkatsu Sen Jiyuugata」

日本語

ええんじゃない　事なかれ

程なく廻って来れば

尤もらしさなど　僕等は似合わない

 真偽は任せとこ

噎ぶほど　やっぱ凄えなって

判別不可な才能を　各々燻らせる

 手持ちも信用値もすかんぴんな僕等でもね

有り体にいえば魂ぐらいは　ほら

(Life  is a black box)

持て余す程なの

 絶体絶命は誰しもさ

気になるあの子も時に叫ぶ

もうちょい愛が足りないのは

欲しがるばかりの僕等だから？

 満身創痍で踊りましょ

暗がりに感け　無様なほど

無礼講調子で手を伸ばせば

映るは僕等が在るべき場所

僕等が死ぬべき場所

 ぴったりすぎたから

息　詰まって捨てたわスタンス

大して愛着も無いのに

染み付く自分が嫌

 初期設定もストーリーもきっと並以下でもね

詳細も不明な魂だけは　ほら

(Life  is a black box)

どれにも似ていない

 絶体絶命は誰しもさ

偉そうな奴も時に転ぶ

もうちょい今日が足りないのは

今日にソレが無いから

 絶体絶命は誰しもさ

気になるあの子も時に叫ぶ

もうちょい愛が足りないのは

欲しがるばかりの僕等だから

 満身創痍で踊りましょ

暗がりに感け　無様なほど

無礼講調子で手を伸ばせば

映るは僕等が在るべき場所

僕等が死ぬべき場所

PENGUIN RESEARCH

Penguin Research is a 5-man Japanese rock band formed in 2015 under the management of ultraCeep. They debuted in 2016 under the Sony Music record label, SME Records, and was transferred to SACRA MUSIC on April 2017.

History The band was formed when Shota Horie was in search of artists whom he could work with and eventually found Yoji Ikuta, who was then doing covers of Horie's songs on the video sharing website, Nico Nico Douga. John Kanda joined afterwards while Keita Shinbo and Yosuke Shibazaki was recruited via held auditions. And thus, the 5-man band, Penguin Research, was born.

They released their first single, “Joker ni Yoroshiku,” on January 20, 2016 which marked their major debut and held their first one-man live, March 6th the same year. They proceeded to released their first mini album, “WILL,” on March 30th under ultraCeep, while their second and third singles, “Spotlight” and “Button,” were both released under SME Records in the same year; on June 8th and September 7th, consecutively.

On March 8, 2017, they released their first album titled “Haisha Fukkatsu Sen Jiyuugata”, and will continue to create music under the record label SACRA MUSIC from April onwards.

Composition and lyrics are done by Horie but everyone’s opinions are well taken into consideration. During recording sessions, Horie and Ikuta come together for another discussion to have full understanding of the music.
