KOSAME – “THE 8th FAREWELL” First EP
ABOUT “THE 8th FAREWELL”:
Kosame’s first EP, “The 8th Farewell” is what happens when you take a real life genius Japanese girl who is really pissed off and give her a platform to express her anger through music. Kosame aligns herself with the idol world, despite her songs being very much written in the style of artists, but this is because Kosame is a new breed of idol… a half-artist/half-idol. There are no boundaries or restrictions to her music, or expression, and her first EP is a perfect example of this creative leap into madness.
According to KOSAME, each song tells a story that she wants to share with everybody, including the DEEPLY painful and personal CORD. This song documents Kosame’s own descent into mental darkness and overcoming it… for now. Kosame’s goal is to tell more stories to each of you, and she hopes you’ll take time to listen and vent with her and let it all out.
In Kosame’s own words, here is a description of each of the songs:
コード（CORD）
⇨教育虐待の末 少女が選んだとある決断。
⇨The story about the girl who was abused mentally and physically abused because of the strict education requirements from her parents
待って （Wait for me）
⇨避けられない別れの瞬間に起こる葛藤。
⇨Mental Conflicts that occur at the inevitable moment of farewell
寡欲グランマの憤怒
（The anger of grandmother who doesn’t expect much）
⇨戦争を経験した（実の）祖母が、現代社会のストレスに対し脆弱すぎる（あるいは克服する努力をしない）者たちへ、怒りを表している様子。
⇨This is a story about the anger of a GRANDMOTHER who experienced the war and lost her friends because of the falling bombs.
And she also feels that young people are too fragile and too sensitive to the stress of small things, because their problems are too small compared to what she experienced during the war. So she is angry about that point, too.
ダーティ•ウーム（DIRTY WOMB）
⇨結婚10年目のある奥様から、”夫に不倫をされた”と
依頼を受け、
我々復讐委員会でその不倫夫にとある制裁を下す話.
⇨ One day we, the unhappiness control board helped a lady get revenge on her husband.
She was betrayed by her husband after ten years of marriage.
So, the unhappiness control board gave her husband a painful sanction…
