Wednesday Campanella • From “Kawaii girl”
Kawaii girl’s Monster Island Japanese Lyrics English Translation
Kenmochi Hidefumi writes about days of the week when characters have microwaves in their bellies and pill bug mental states. The songwriter describes gathering clams on the shore and dancing like Godzilla in a playful monster manifesto. These physical images reveal a hundred ways to be a little monster bursting with innocent impulses.
