I have typed up all of their lyrics except the songs on the newest release here as well as all the lyrics for Hakujitsu's and Kurohime's songs. [Please do not repost them]
I'm not sure when I'll have time but I do intend on typing up the new songs as well.You got a some of it right just by listening though.
Here are the correct lyrics
「刺激が欲しいの♡」
可愛くハートなんかつけやがって
ウケはいいみたいけど
なんかこう 私には出来ないあぁ そうです…
ノリにあわせて 笑ってるだけ
ほっぺた痛い
…めんどくさい笑顔でいるってめんどくさい…
どうしてこんな癖がついたの
心の底から笑ってない
「笑顔が好き」！？ふざけないで
知ったような口聞かないで
笑顔でいるってめんどくさいキミは暗く見えるから
笑った方がいいよなんて
言われれば言われる程
なんかこう 出来なくなってあぁ そうです…
わかっているの
こんな自分も よくないってこと
…めんどくさい笑顔でいるってめんどくさい…
子供の頃は素直でいれた
最近まともに笑ってない
楽しそうな周りの声
だけどなんだか入っていけない
笑顔でいるってめんどくさい笑顔でいるってめんどくさい…
「笑顔が好き」！？ふざけないで
知ったような口聞かないで
笑顔でいるってめんどくさい笑顔でいるってめんどくさい…
子供の頃は素直でいれた
最近まともに笑ってない
楽しそうな周りの声
だけどなんだか入っていけない
笑顔でいるってめんどくさい ！あー、めんどくさい。

17 hours ago, emmny said:it totally reads like a protest against their mgmt
That seems to be the case.
I haven't followed Meji in like 4 years but my friends who still do told me their management pulled the plug on everything without any warning, most likely due to declining ticket/CD sales.
Of course I can't tell you if that's actually the case but given their recent behavior I do think that's the reason. I could be totally wrong though. That's just what I heard from friends when the hiatus was first announced. I haven't asked for follow up info cause I don't really care but regardless if that really is what happened I feel bad for them. Their manager is an asshole so I wouldn't put it past him.

Yes they did. That's why they changed their name.
They still sometimes play with vk bands though.

3 hours ago, qotka said:when did An start performing with them? was he the guy who played with them at the twoman with kizu?
An started as support right after Roji's last live, so after August 11th.
And yeah that was him at the twoman with Kizu earlier this month. I'll give him credit, he improved quite a bit from their threeman with Scapegoat and sibilebashir just 10 days before that. At that live he messed up significantly during every single song they played. He fucked up so badly during Komoriuta they had to back track a bit and start again. At the Kizu twoman he fucked up Komoriuta again and his drumming was off during like half of kamisori but other than that I thought he was ok for the most part......but they simplified every song for him and as a Roji fan that makes me sad. Roji's drumming was a big reason why I like XAA-XAA.Anyway, although he has shown signs of improvement, I was kinda hoping that An was temporary until they found someone better. I'm also feeling pretty pessimistic about their future. They've been slowly waning for a long time now (since around last December) and Roji's departure made them lose a lot of fans. An is not very well liked among the fans who still go so I'm sure with him formally joining the band they're only going to lose even more fans.

@MihiHalf of their songs have pinky furi which is a lot of fun. I can try to explain it for you.
You can see the furi for Uso Kiss here (3:54 if the video doesn't start at that point)Right hand pinky out (U), left hand pinky out (SO), cross your pinkies (KI) then bring them forward (SU)
Egao deirutte mendokusai's pinky furi is my favorite. You put your right pinky to your right cheek (egao), then your left pinky to your left cheek (deirutte), then cross your hands and tap your wrists twice (mendoku) and spread them out (sai).
For Chuushitai, you bring your right pinky towards your lips then move your hand towards the right (chuushite), then have your hands face each other and have them move in a frontwards circular motion (onegai), and move your hands up and spread them apart (oh yeah).
Kimi izon tattoo's is more simple. During the "anata ni totte no watashitte ittai nani?" part you turn to the right holding your right pinky out and jump with the beat, then you clap and quickly turn to the left and jump with your left pinky out "anata ni totte no watashitte ittai nani?". You clap then turn back to the right again "ahhh sono bashinogi aaaah gotsugou shuugi", then clap and turn back to the left "sonna koto nai yo, kakimidasanaide".
I can definitely get you cheki! With the strict 2 copy per live limit on CD's it might take me a while to buy them for you guys, unfortunately. I don't know if I'm allowed to go through the line again and buy more but I can ask Aya or Yoshi when I see them next Sunday.
Cheki however has no limit so that's not an issue.👍 I can't guarantee who you get but I can try trading with the other fans if you want a certain member. -

Thanks for the compliment! And thanks everyone for the reactions. I haven't written that many live reports since last summer so it's nice to know that people read and enjoyed what I posted. I'll definitely post more when I have the time.
Today a friend of mine brought to my attention that since the guys don't have their own Twitters anymore overseas fans don't really get to see many pictures of them outside of live photos and the pictures Hoshiko posts on Twitter so I'm gonna share some of my cheki with you guys.
I only have cheki of Saki in the new set of costumes so far but I have cheki of all of the guys in the old costumes.
Please don't repost them on Tumblr/etc. or I won't post any more in the future.
Spoiler
The 親 and 上司 signs were used for the ridiculous rapping intro to uruse damare at the 3/30 fourman with zigzag, purple stone, and smileberry
The day they released kimi, izon, tattoo so Saki's holding the CD
And Saki in the new costume
I have no idea why he's wearing two different shirts but I'm personally a fan of the first one which is belly shirt with a see through blouse with decorative green buttons over it. The second one is a long black shirt that says "I'm Sick" in green

I went to their show at Shinyokohama NEW SIDE BEACH!! yesterday. I’ve written a short report for you guys while it’s still fresh in my mind. I also have a couple more drafted: 7/16, 6/25, 6/11, 3/30, 2/5 (the Tokyo oneman). I’ve been pretty busy recently so I’m not sure when I’ll get around to posting those though. Sorry for keeping you guys hanging.
Spoiler7/30 STYLISH WAVE @ Shinyokohama NEW SIDE BEACH!!
When the curtains opened, Aya, Yoshi, Kei and Jitan were all on stage with their instruments. Saki was nowhere to be seen but you could hear him speaking and reciting kiitemonaishi motometemonainoni, their call and response track that eventually leads into fashion menhera . All of a sudden Saki appears at the back of the hall and slowly makes his way towards the stage as he has us repeat kiitemonaishi motometemonainoni. No one could really repeat anything else he said this time because he spoke so fast and said so much everyone was dying of laughter.
After he finally got to the stage they had us repeat fashion menhera! while fist pumping and went into the song. Unfortunately they experienced some technical difficulties with the back track towards the end but they all handled it like pros and kept going without it despite the trouble. After fashion menhera was finished they still had some issues with the backtrack but Saki took the opportunity to rile up the crowd and joke around while Kei fixed it.
Next was kimi, izon, tattoo. After the first chorus Aya, Yoshi, Jitan, and Kei all jumped down into the crowd [you can see that at the end of the video Mihi posted] and began to stamp people in the crowd with their hankos. Saki went down a little later. I first got stamped by Aya, who was super excited by my group of foreign friends and acquaintances seeing them for the first time and yelled HI HI HI HELLO HELLO over and over again while eagerly stamping all of us. Kei also made his way towards my friends and I and stamped me, then the backtrack went into the distortion part during which the guys oritatami (full-body frontwards headbanging? I guess you can describe it as such?) with whoever is next to them at the time before going back to hanko time. Kei was next to me at that point so he put his arm around me and the girl to his left and we oritatami’d together. Yoshi also made his way towards us and stamped some of my friends and the girls behind us. At one point near the end I saw Saki towards the back trying to stamp a girl on the cheek while she yelled YADAAAA and he apologized several times before finding other people to stamp. lol
After they all made their way back to the stage they continued with the rest of the song before transitioning into uruse damare, the song with the hilarious rapping prelude I mentioned previously though Saki didn’t do his rapping this time due to the limited time of their set. Instead they all had us enthusiastically giving the finger a couple of times before going into the song, during which we give them the finger during the chorus every time Saki sings “uruse damare”.
After that was chuushitai, a very upbeat song with lots of moshing and spinning. It was pretty much the same as it usually is (like in the video posted here from 7/16)And last was choukyoushite kudasai, a heavier track with an upbeat/jumpy chorus during which Saki has us do something different each time they play it. The first time we jumped, the second time we moshed, and the last time they had us all move closer to the stage and made us sit down before headbanging on the floor. After having us stand up they finished the song and they all laid down on the stage while their closing track played and the curtains closed.
Set list:
1. ファッションメンヘラ (fashion menhera)
2. 君、依存、タトゥー (kimi, izon, tattoo)
3. うるせぇ、だまれ (uruse, damare)
4. ちゅーしたい (chuushitai)
5. 調教してください (choukyoushite kudasai)
Also, an update re: my shopping service for the upcoming release:
unfortunately, there’s a limit as to how many CDs I can buy at one live. I can only buy two of each CD, so the next time I go (8/20) I can only get one copy of Namae ga nai for myself, one for one of you guys, and two of the compilation CD for you guys unless I can get one of my friends to help out. If not, I’m seeing them again 8/29 and can get two more copies then. I’ll keep you guys updated. -
Posting in this thread just to say how much I hate Gosan's vocalist.
I saw them last July at a taiban at Ikebukuro Edge and despite that I was standing in the back with my back against the wall, he made his way towards me, grabbed me, and shoved me forward because I wasn't doing the furi for his shitty band. Plenty of people in front of and next to me weren't doing furi either but he fucking targeted me because I'm a foreigner and stick out from the rest of the crowd. He fucked off for a bit and came back, put his hands on me, and tried to force me to oritatami but I told him to go die and he finally understood that I want none of that shit.
Since then whenever my bands play with Gosan I chill in the hallway (and so do a bunch of Japanese bangya. Dude is infamous in the scene)How they got so many fans in the past year is beyond me but a friend of mine who went to an instore a while back says their eigyou game is next level so that's probably why.

2 hours ago, Shaolan974 said:their oneman at 2017/07/23 at Shibuya WWW was their 3rd oneman live only
Actually it was their fifth oneman but third "official" oneman. They had an "extra" oneman for Zyean and Ricko's birthday in January and another in April for Boogie's birthday, and next month they're having another for Sena's birthday, so the "fourth" one-man will actually be their seventh.
Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to this. Tonight was fucking lit.

If it was you who approached me at that Jiluka taiban with Aiolin and VRZEL and again at the Jiluka/Fixer twoman then yup that's me. Indies vk is a small world.
It looks like I have 3, possibly 4 people interested in a shopping service so far so I'll let you guys know of the details once I work everything out 👍
I'm not going to the oneman so the earliest I can pick up 名前が無い is 3 days after the release on 8/20. -
On 7/17/2017 at 1:45 AM, Komorebi said:at other taiban lives where they weren't playing I heard fans say they followed them so they do have a decent following it seems.
Do you mean me lmfao.
They've been doing quite well recently, not just in Kansai but Kanto as well, especially in the past 2 or 3 months. In April they started going down into the crowd and stamping people with hanko during kimi, izon, tattoo and it's become a huge hit even among bangya who aren't fans of the band. There's always a big rush of people who run in just for it.
Btw, the second song they're playing in the video @Mihiposted is ちゅーしたい which will be on the new release coming out next month. If there's enough interest I may consider doing a shopping service for it as well as the 500 yen 入門盤 CD and cheki.
Also I completely forgot I posted here a few months ago saying I'd share live reports and dumb stories so I'll do that within the next couple of days.

6. ファッションメンヘラ (fashion menhera)
7. 夜乙女 (yoru otome)Unfortunately this CD does not come with a lyrics booklet (probably why it's so cheap)

17 hours ago, chemicalpictures said:yeah, I want to check the lyrics to see how they portrayed it. The references on the PV are kinda thrown out here and there. The Kiddie also have one song called Omelas. Would be interesting to compare both interpretations
I typed them up quickly for you. There might be some errors but I can fix them later.
Enjoy Sena's English

NICE!^^ can't wait to get mine.
6 hours ago, Greyen said:So jealous that you have the new JILUKA already! I probably wont get my copy till a week after it comes out with the shipping I chose.
Little hearts and Jishuban sold copies early to those who participated in their instore events yesterday. I was a little shocked when they announced it a few days ago cause I've never gotten a new release this early before. Flying get (obtaining the CD before the official release date) is a pretty normal thing in Japan but it's usually just 1 or 2 days before, not 11 days before.
I'm sorry I can't upload it, but I can tell you now it's well worth the wait. Definitely a strong contender for release of the year. All the tracks are top notch but Bloodshot is probably my favorite since it's a drinking song. lol The opening for Omelas is also pretty nutsIGM_Oficial and Greyen reacted to this -

Previews are up for the single
On 6/9/2017 at 7:26 AM, Yukimoto said:I'm guessing they know that so they always put their lives together because at least if they are touring with someone else it's someone else who is just as good and can bring in the fans and maybe get more fans from their partner! I do want that DVD though..... Wonder what it consists of<3
They're on the same label (along with Grimoire) and they're all good friends so they've played together quite a bit but not so much recently other than the upcoming tour.
The DVD is just the PV for their song 晴れのち雨のち曇りのち嵐. The song is a ballad and the pv isn't particularly interesting. Unfortunately I can't rip it and make a mp3 out of it so it's probably just gonna sit on my shelf forever.

In 2014 Crazy Shampoo did a series of five onemans over the span of five months and distributed a free CD at each of them. Dance, Testament, and Regulation were 3/5 of those free distributes. The other two were パナシェ and 真昼の兵隊. None of them saw a proper release because their label dropped them, forcing them to disband at the last of those five onemans.
As @Shmillymentioned previously, they also had two free distributes at their onemans at Rokumeikan in September 2012: ゲルニカ and 抜刀.
ゲルニカ is the song they play at 7:14 here
抜刀 is the first song here
Unfortunately, I don't know a single person who has either CD and I saw Crazy Shampoo for the first time a month after those onemans so I never got my hands on them. ゲルニカ is my favorite Crazy Shampoo song so I'm pretty disappointed I've never seen it show up in Closet Child/Puresound/various auction sites in the past 5 years. However, I am grateful that it still exists on YouTube and on their live DVDs.
They had a couple other songs they often played but I don't believe ever got recorded (ニトロポリタン, パニッシュ！！, ActresS, グルコサミン). To my knowledge the only free distribute that ended up on an official release is アンブレラ.
