Karisome Otome / Temporary Virgin
Karisome Otome (Death Jazz ver.) digital single, Sanmon Gossip

nee kiki otoko, joudan yo
sayounara
Oh man of the floating world, after the worlds of 2 a.m.
You’re a good person, but it’s time for the curtain to go down
Temporary pillows dividing up every day
It’s sad, a man who loves and was loved
A woman doesn’t need any vows of fidelity
Everything’s a production
He fell in love, he swelled up – it dazzled him
Oh! The autumn sky

A six-day iris, a temporary heart
A man who eats and is eaten is sad
Isn’t it all right for women to tell lies?
I have to be all dressed up to suit these farces
They say I’m surely already gone mad
A bad man, a lady-killer
We’re not so bad, are we?
You can cut and cut, but it won’t be cut off
Oh! The intermission

4 a.m. waning
Say “The truth is, I want to be with you”
Please don’t go home
Won’t you be lonely?
Wait, just wait a little
We can be who we really are
Hey, working man, I’m only joking
Goodbye
