BIJIN
Chanmina • From “Naked”
Naked’s BIJIN Japanese Lyrics English Translation
Chanmina questions the pressures of perfection in a world obsessed with HD visuals. She writes, ‘If I’d be loved for just vanishing like this, then I’d rather fade away beautifully right now.’ The poet uses raw honesty to critique how society judges appearances.
Bi bi bi ni shiro chuuiWatch out for the beauty standards,
