Ko-Go-No Goraiko-Z brings high-energy vibes with ‘I’m Junkie, My Funky.’ The lyrics writer, Great Hashimoto, pens a wild ride through a night of gambling, while the melody mixes punk rock with a frantic rhythm. Guts Komaken adds depth with a driving bassline, setting the tone for the chaos.
The poet Great Hashimoto tells the story of a gambler caught in a cycle of spinning and losing. One line, ‘I’ve basically been working for free,’ captures the frustration of chasing losses. The performer uses chaotic energy to mirror the gambler’s highs and lows.
