[English]

Hello, I’m STUTS.

I’m a trackmaker and producer.

I also do live performances,

usually using this MPC,

a sampler machine,

where each pad contains a sound.

I change things up in various ways,

and combine them

to play and perform live like this.

Nice to meet you.

3, 4.

Using up the 9th to the 10th year,

can’t use up the studio fees,

so let’s do it quickly, THE FIRST TAKE.

This is STUTS and PUNPEE,

Let’s go.

I don’t know if it’s day or night here,

but let’s use it up.

Let’s go.

STUTS beats, STUTS beats.

The morning fog, like a film,

quietly purifies the digitized city.

Early morning, where should I start?

Editing fragmented memories, ah,,, it was like this, right?

STUTS has been busy lately, weekends like this are like jewels.

“Hook the trigger to rise,” the rhymes are solid.

Something good might happen, THE FIRST TAKE!

1, 2, 3, 4, ah,,, 5 people, 2 cabs, to that city.

Streetlights lit, crowds, entanglements,

through the taxi window’s frame, we’re beatniks.

Our specialty, “earnestness,”

let’s forget it for now and be rewarded.

Unbelievable, more than the movie I just saw,

this night is getting longer, YouTube.

Using up countless nights,

I realize everyone but you is missing.

Carrying the sunrise on the Yamanote Line, running home.

Before Sunrise, yeah, Sunrise, hurry.

If I’m told something now, the sky might start crying.

Wait, what were we talking about?

Before Sunrise, yeah, Sunrise, hurry.

That pushy glasses face, rich kid,

talent from Itabashi’s prodigal son, YO.

The result’s average, HALF man, HALF P,

but at night, I’m a Super Namekian reborn (HEY).

Using songs I made without trying as weapons,

I fight daily, let’s bring it out.

In the quiet nights ahead, ideas and hints lie dormant.

The booming bass becomes a trend,

but in living rooms, the lows are cut.

But someday, the TV kid

stands in front of huge speakers,

knows the real raw, and becomes a pro.

"Dreaming of K Arena with a sampler," a story from back then.

Comedians are so outdated now?

“That model, that idol, probably

watch our YouTube,,,

and talk nonsense.

Early morning at Matsuya, endless dreams leave me at a loss.

No talk about s*x today.

That guest live was surprisingly intense, annoying!

Even past thirty, still like this.

The shop owner used to be in a heavy metal band.

Let’s use up the night.

The Tai Chi grandpa wakes up, hey everybody.

Using up countless nights,

I realize everyone but you is missing.

Carrying the sunrise on the Yamanote Line, running home.

Before Sunrise, yeah, Sunrise, hurry.

If I’m told something now, the sky might start crying.

Wait, what were we talking about?

Before Sunrise, yeah, Sunrise, hurry.

Using up countless nights,

someone’s dream is also missing.

Carrying the sunrise on the Yamanote Line, running home.

Before Sunrise, yeah, Sunrise, hurry.

I could go now, but it’s a little lonely.

Wait, this is your story…

Before Sunrise, yeah, Sunrise, hurry.

For the homies not here now,

maybe I’m seeing this grand view for them.

Using up the city’s nights,

using up the hometown’s nights,

everyone lives their story and breathes.

Let’s get it.

STUTS Beats still, canker sore hurts, ah.

Thank you.

STUTS beats STUTS beats

フィルムみたいな朝もやが

デジタル化された街を静かに浄化してく

午前未明 どこから話そう

ちぎれた記憶の脚色作業 あー,,, たしかこう

最近STUTSも忙しい こんな週末は宝石のよう

“上がれちゃう きっかけを ひっかける” 韻固ぇし

いい事おきんじゃね？THE FIRST TAKE!

1,2,3,4 あー,,,５人 ２台タクでさぁ あの街に

灯る街灯 人混みに しがらみを

タクシーの窓の画角に 我らビートニク

得意の”ひたむきさ”は

この際わすれて 報われよう

信じられないよ さっき見た映画より

この夜が長くなる ようつべ

いくつもの夜を使い果たして

気づけば 君以外 行方不明

朝焼けを山手線で運んで走る帰路

Before Sunrise そう Sunrise 急げ

いまなにか言われたら空が泣き出しそう

ってか一体なんの話だっけ？

Before Sunrise そう Sunrise 急げ

しゃしゃった眼鏡フェイス ボンボン

な才能 from 板橋の放蕩息子 YO

出来は普通だぜ HALH 人 HALF P

でも夜に再生スーパーナメック人 (HEY)

作ろうとしないで作った曲を武器に

日々闘うよ さあ繰り出そう

人気のない夜の先々に案とヒントは眠ってる

ブンブン 唸るベースがブームになる

けどお茶の間じゃ Low もカット

けどいつかのテレビ小僧も

でっかいスピーカーの前で

本物の Raw を知り一人前になる

"サンプラーでKアリーナとか夢があるじゃん" いつかの話

芸人なんてもう古いぜ？

“あのモデルもアイドルも多分

俺らの YouTube をみて,,,

てバカ話してる

朝方の松屋 果てのない夢は途方にくれ

今日はセッ〇スの話は無し

あのゲストライブ意外とヤバかったな うぜー！

三十路過ぎても こんな感じ

店員のオヤジも昔ヘヴィーメタルバンド

夜を使いはたそう

太極拳の爺がむくり 起きる hey everybody

いくつもの夜を使い果たして

気づけば 君以外 行方不明

朝焼けを山手線で運んで走る帰路

Before Sunrise そう Sunrise 急げ

いまなにか言われたら空が泣き出しそう

ってか一体なんの話だっけ？

Before Sunrise そう Sunrise 急げ

いくつもの夜を使い果たして

誰かの夢もまた行方不明

朝焼けを山手線で運んで走る帰路

Before Sunrise そう Sunrise 急げ

今いけそうだけど 少し寂しいよ

ってか これ君の話だって…

Before Sunrise そう Sunrise 急げ

今ここにいないダチ公のために

この大きな景色を見てるのかも

都会の夜を使い果たして

地元の夜を使い果たして

皆それぞれのストーリーと息をして

Let’s get it

STUTS Beats still 口内炎痛え　ハー

ありがとうございます
