  Q. If you were to describe the album in a sentence? It's an album made at home, in the evening, while staring out the window idly without much thought. I hope those who listen to it enjoy it like that as well.  Q. The reason you made such an album? I wanted to try it once. It's the case with all other albums but even moreso with this, I wrote songs for myself. I really worked on the 3rd album that was released last July intensively. I pretended like it didn't happen but the aftermath really hit me hard, I think the way to recover is starting to work on a new project. So I thought this time let me just make an "in any case good" album! Q. What was the process like? it flowed smoothly. The songs were made in a blink of an eye and the lyrics were also written quickly. I usually write lyrics sitting on my desk but this time it was written lazing around lying on the mat or bed. If I get deep thoughts I just shake it off and watch Bonbono or funny videos while doing n...

  [Verse 1] I’ve forgotten everything now Or did I lose it all? I came searching for answers But I end up leaving questions behind It was a turning point When I get back home and lay down What kind of expression should I make Waving sorrow’s hands Might be coming or going Or standing somewhere [Chorus] Listen, young pal If you look for the things you lost where you lost them  Sometimes it shines a light that knows grief  [Verse 2] I dislike myself But I also like me who’s like that There was a time when I was repulsed by the frequently glimmering happy phrases  [Chorus] Listen, young pal If you look for the things you lost where you lost them  Sometimes it shines a light that knows grief  [Bridge] Look at me, I’m waving my hands Goodbye sadness, ooh, ooh [Refrain] Wind blows, and rain pours And flowers of a season bloomed, bye bye The clouds are white and the sky is blue I grew up at a certain time, bye bye

[Verse 1] Tonight, whose love will you be And dance with? After the cold winter passes The feelings that come swarming in My love, she becomes someone else’s and blossoms Seems like I’m responsible for the cold season My heart lowers in despair  [Chorus] My love Please don’t leave me This momentary unsettling spring day Will be over soon [Verse 2] Abandonment, it’s not even a difficult thing to do I’m so good at it I’m so easygoing, That it gets better sometimes [Chorus] My love Please don’t leave me This momentary unsettling spring day Will be over soon [Outro] Spring becomes the last season And it has to end That’s how I feel when I see those blooming flowers

  [Verse 1] A dated scenery  Ragged lovers Lukewarm raindrops The tantrums that grow on your feet With one eternal expression Shall we take a nap  Or sleep an entire verse We open the book Struggling with the flooding drowsiness  And in one same dream [Pre-Chorus] Sweet, sweet life Stop right there I will remember [Chorus] Oh I'll sing a song for every time of life I sang [Verse 2] “Make me a blissful song so I can sing it anywhere” Just then the sun illuminated her And I smiled quietly  [Pre-Chorus] Sweet, sweet life Stop right there I will remember [Chorus] I'll sing a song for every time of life I sang [Outro] Our weak selves Will be protected by love Love is fragile We need to protect that Rub your eyes and wakeup  While looking at me, as if stroking your eyebrows Outside is still the same Don’t rush our season Our season Is it beautiful or is it messy?

  [Verse 1] Whistles are blowing in the sky of May If you lay down in the sun  Arm pillows slowly start to slide  Her movements depict the season They keep fluttering I knew it was spring right away [Chorus] These feelings I have I put them in a song that I can’t even sing  Without knowing what to do or where to go  You stood there (When I see her smile, oh, distant light) [Verse 2] I.. hope love wouldn’t be painful Waiting is an innocent feeling You’re standing in a distant today as well [Chorus] These feelings I have I put them in a song that I can’t even sing  Without knowing what to do or where to go  You stood there [Bridge] Grip the fleeting green light And remember everything about me [Chorus] The sky of May The young us driven to the green days As if we’ve experienced eternal love You smiled like that (When I see her smile, oh, distant light)

  Q. I heard that your mother doesn't like your long hair which you have now become famous for. She even sent in a complaint to one of your radio appearances asking 'Why on earth do you grow it'. A. I didn't grow it because I wanted to. I didn't have time to cut it before some gig so I went on stage as is and the fans really liked it. So I kept growing it since. Q. There's the story with your mom, and looking at other stories here and there, I burst out laughing so many times. It seems like your life is a sitcom without intending it. A. I'm a bit like that. Life is like a sitcom, just like the saying "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up but a comedy in long-shot." There are obviously things you really hate and you could get stressed but in the long run, it's all comedy. You can only laugh.         Q. Jannabi's 3rd album 'The Land of Fantasy' has finally come out. How do you usually feel after putting out an album? A. This time i...

5 Questions and Answers with Jannabi Q What have you been diving into lately? It hasn't been long since the release of the album so it's still pretty hectic but amidst that I've been busy looking for new music. There's nothing like a new stimulus to beat the burnout that comes after every album. Q In comparison to your previous release, this album <The Land of Fantasy> is very unique.  It sounds like a song you'd listen to alone on a merry-go-round at a closed theme park. Also feels like I'm watching a high quality musical. Makes me wonder what the intention behind it was.  I hoped many people would feel entertained by it and through that, I included things I wanted to say as well. Just like a storybook or a movie, I made it hoping it would make people take a breath and picture their own image while listening. It seems like music has become closer to an accessory or some scenery these days, I wanted to make an album whose true value can only be felt while ...
