想 → sou
優 → Yuu / yasa

Also it’s used in 楽しい(Tanoshii) which means “fun”

ーーFAR EAST PHALLUS KICKER – LINER NOTES


Song Description HIDEKI


1.極東LOVERS (FAR EAST LOVERS)

At the time we formed, we hadn’t decided on a specific concept yet.
But we definitely needed a song that would represent FAR EAST PHALLUS KICKER.
When I imagined a scene of us four, the atmosphere of the song plopped up, which made me think, “Oh! This feeling is perfect!” From there it didn’t take a long time to finish the song.

2.candy Blue
For this song I wanted to try an experiment. I wanted to create a song with 3 chords, those who know Chu-ya’s music know that it’s not a common style/method for him… As a result it turned out really cool!! … A minor of 3 chords♬→ It was an absolute must♪

3.love 2 die
I needed a song that was gritty and fast with a sense of gravity for the overall balance. The feeling of the riffs are really nice!

4.dead road
Like “FAR EAST LOVERS” I wanted to create a song that would be suitable for the band. I wrote this song with the beauty of “JAPANESE LANGUAGE” and “ROCK in my mind, and I also wrote half of the lyrics. The words are very simple and easy to understand, but the music and lyrics are sad in some way. This song also represents FAR EAST PHALLUS KICKER!


Song Description Chu-ya


1. 極東LOVERS (Far East LOVERS)

風 (Kaze) Wind → As fast as the wind.
2. candy Blue
林 (Hayashi) Forest → As Quiet as the forest.
3. love 2 die
火 (Hi) Flame → As daring as fire.
4. dead road
山(Yama) Mountain → Immovable as the mountain.

The back-title of this mini-album is (風林火山 Furinkazan)
“As fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as daring as fire, and immovable as the mountain
Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain“.

As「FAR EAST PHALLUS KICKER」we are hitting the indie scene with this spirit!
PLEASE Look forward to our future activities!
