Because I don't lose sight of the path of life in Sheena Ringo & Hiroji Miyamoto's 'Kemono Yuku Hosomichi' and Sheena Ringo & Tortoise Matsumoto's 'Nukidori', I can remain human | The beauty of Sheena Ringo's lyrics! | Songs recommended for ADHD, HSP, INFP, and INTP!

In the last two posts, I was saved by the songs
Tokyo Jihen's 'Tomei Ningen' and 'Killer Tune' as an HSP, INFP, and INTP. Now that I've gained enough life experience to finally have a solid interpretation in my late 20s, I've taken a slow, fresh look at the lyrics and written down my thoughts on how they might have these meanings too.

I've only excerpted the lyrics, so when the time comes for you to face them, please look them up and do so! lol

As someone with ADHD who listens all the time but gets distracted by every sound and can't memorize the lyrics,
looking at just the lyrics helps me focus, and the brilliance of Sheena Ringo's lyrics really sinks in.

Getting older makes me feel the aging process and I tend to get negative, but
the more life experience I gain, the better I understand the quality of the lyrics.
This alone gives me a reason to live, seriously lol. Thank goodness.

When something painful happens, I think, 'Is this what it meant?' or
I understand the lyrics through the world I see after overcoming things,
and I'm so excited to really understand them,
so I look at various lyrics and get obsessed with Sheena Ringo's, wondering, 'Can I understand this now?' lol

As I wrote last time,
celebrities have a lot of contact with people, so I think they experience life much faster and more intensely than the average person.
They experience a lot of both good and bad things.

Actually, I think the negative elements end up being greater.
Being on guard, becoming paranoid, or developing trust issues.
Sensitive yet powerful people have their faces exposed,
and the emotions and words of ordinary people attack them in reality and on the internet,
so I imagine there are more bad things, like being pushed around until their balance is lost.

Just because you're sensitive doesn't mean you're weak.
But HSPs have an image of being fragile.

Being sensitive means there is too much stress in living.
To the point of wanting to die.
Because society is built for the majority of ordinary people to survive,
minority individuals face a lot of stress.

If you're sensitive, every little thing becomes a solid, fatal wound, and you use up your energy recovering,
so living every day takes a toll on your body.
Stress also affects the body, lowering immunity and causing poor health,
weakening both mind and body.

But there are many things you can only understand because you are sensitive...

Some people get overwhelmed and collapse,
but through experiences like learning how to let go of attachments and burdens, or putting everything down to rest,
you learn more about life, the inner workings of humans, and important invisible things than ordinary people do,
so if it becomes knowledge, it becomes a weapon, and I think you can fight even strong opponents.

It's tough until then, but if you can enjoy your own growth like in a game,
I feel like there are more opportunities to grow than for ordinary people, and a high possibility of becoming strong!

People at god-like, top-tier levels are often HSP, right?
Or ADHD, because their concentration and the world they see are different after all.

I might still be at a low level... or rather, I am low!
So I'm growing by having various experiences!
I must be better now than I was in the past!
I want to master something someday! But I'm indecisive and can't decide what yet...

In games, you gain combat experience, level up, and fight stronger opponents, winning and losing, but that becomes good experience! As a result, you grow, it's a good thing, and there's nothing bad about it!
Life is similar, isn't it?

But as you level up,
you realize the difference between the world you saw because you were weak
and the world you see after becoming strong,
and sometimes you're happy,
but there's also an indescribable sense of loss and other emotions.

When your standing point changes, what you see changes,
and your own emotions change, your thoughts change, and...

There was a world I could see precisely because I was sensitive,
like how to choose words for others or how much to do for them.
When you become strong, can you be kinder to people more sensitively... No, I feel like you become duller, and then you also become aggressive.

You might demand growth from others and expect them to do what you were able to do.
You might overlap them with your pre-growth self and think they aren't trying when they are in a state before they've made an effort.

If you grow, you might look down on people who are similar because your past self was inferior.
Do you become condescending because you're getting closer to ordinary people?
Did you lose your sensitivity? What did you gain and what did you lose?
Do you properly understand your current self? Are you misunderstanding?

Was I sensitive because I was weak...?

The fear that if I become strong, I'll be okay even if I'm dull.
What is kindness, and for whom is it condescending or arrogant?
Are people with a tendency for moral harassment sensitive?

After all, everyone has sensitive parts, weak points.
Maybe a defensive reaction comes out when those are tickled.

It feels like a living creature.

To be human, strong, sensitive, and beautiful... amazing.

That is... Sheena Ringo!
The more I live, the more I realize how amazing she is,
and her existence and spirit are dizzying.

I feel like she said herself that she is close to ordinary,
but what kind of ordinary is that? What is ordinary, I wonder.

But for someone with this much evaluation, status, and honor,
to have that much humility and honesty...

Is it because she sees so many things and people
that she says she is close to ordinary...?

Among celebrities who are incredibly amazing, there are some who are truly wild, but
indeed... looking at Ringo-san, I also feel an ordinariness...

Does ordinary mean working, getting married, having children, doing housework, and living a general life?

It's not an ordinary life, but
is it a thought process of knowing and understanding what is ordinary...?
They say you can do extraordinary things because you know what is ordinary.

When she is Sheena Ringo on stage,
she sings difficult songs wonderfully, scattering beauty, cuteness, loveliness, transience, and bewitchment,
and she is undoubtedly accomplishing something incredible.

Ringo-san appeared on many stages at various festivals this summer!
I wanted to go...
I can't go to live shows in the summer because of summer fatigue, so I'm looking forward to everyone's reports!

Ringo-san's smiling, happy live photos were released,
and for the first time in a while, I was overflowing with 'How cute...!'

Even though the stage is high and the photos were taken from below in the audience!
Shockingly perfect cuteness! There is no other person in their 40s whose smile is this cute and lovely!
Her outfit is also wonderful, but her face enjoying herself is the most wonderful... I love it...

She's like a god in human form, and I want to believe she's human, but
it's a level of amazingness that makes me think she's an 800-year-old yokai trying out being an 'ordinary' person and enjoying it...
And she's raising three children with this...? Is that for real...
Her physical strength and what she possesses from the start are just too different...

In interviews and such, she shows glimpses of a playful, graceful mom in her 40s...
I'm sure both are Ringo-san, but I also think she is playing 'Sheena Ringo'.

Not in a bad way, but like a service spirit... like fan service for the geeks,
it feels like she's bestowing what we wished for, but 'little by little, okay...'
It also seems like she's playing hard to get,
perhaps so it doesn't end by revealing everything... I think.

No, it won't end... your charm will never run out in a lifetime, so please be aware...

I also feel the power to skillfully show what she should show and turn everything into charm.
Is this what it means to be high-level...?
What kind of experience do you need to reach that level...?

Honestly, besides the music and lyrics, she saves people too much... she's building up so much merit... is she something like a god in her next life...?

She sang this at this year's summer festival... I cried.
I want to see it live someday...
This time, I'd like to recommend this!

Ringo Sheena & Hiroji Miyamoto 'Kemono Yuku Hosomichi' Lyrics excerpt below. Some old kana usage converted! Like 'wi' and 'gai'.

This world is impermanent, everyone knows it.
Everything is shifting, in that ceaseless flow.
We are just wandering about.

...With the song featuring Mr. Miyamoto, the greatness of both of them is so intense, and the way they sing is so cool that...
I was listening without even grasping the meaning of the lyrics, which was a waste lol.
But after listening for years, I finally reached the lyrics lol.
Now that I'm in my late 20s and have gained life experience, I can enjoy it even more!

Starting with 'This world is impermanent' and Mr. Miyamoto's wonderful, powerful singing voice,
the phrase 'everyone knows it' already saved me!
That's right... everyone knows, but we're all doing our best to live...

I think this song is easy to understand just by reading the lyrics, so it ends up sounding like my own impressions...

From 'Everything is shifting' onwards, I deeply feel that the people around me are all wandering too... that's right...
In the midst of that, everyone is working hard at something.
Everyone is at the mercy of the times, people, things, and things that change.

I wanted to listen to this when I was tired of life,
so I want to recommend it to people who have lived through the era of being in their late 20s or older and are tired!

I wonder if I'm dying while living all bundled up.
Am I killing my own talent while thinking I'm taming it?

...I'm dressed up and have too much, but is it really what I like? Isn't my heart feeling lifeless...
This hits home for fashion lovers... always seeking status, skills, this and that, but life isn't just about improving yourself; having fun is important too!
I feel like I've been suppressing or controlling various desires, but I've had the experience of suppressing them so much that my heart died lol. Oh no lol. This song is for me lol. Crying lol.

I feel like talent doesn't emerge if you control yourself, so it hits me so hard...
That's why people I consider geniuses aren't normal; they're unbalanced and break through.
Mr. Miyamoto's way of singing and his way of life all match the lyrics so well, it's really good...
Just listen to the song lol.

My head and body are completely at odds.
I want to rely on a sensitivity that is simply frank before I am human.
Yes, my true nature is a beast. Let's run wild now with a defenseless life.

...Thinking involves reason, common sense, and various things that unconsciously put on the brakes,
and even if animalistic behavior feels like something savage to a human being,
in the end, we are the same living creatures.
I understand that I can rely on things I feel beyond language and developed communication lol. Oh no lol. Beast lol.
'Run wild now with a defenseless life' is so cool lol.

It's a song where I feel the power of a very strong creature, with Ringo-san, who seems like a being beyond human with a beast-like instinct, and Mr. Miyamoto, who has a beastly vibe, even though they seem like opposites lol. I really love it!

The destination is the place where life ends. Let's go as part of the great nature.
I tremble at the first path I step into, and learn what winter is.
I am ashamed of the yesterday when I was relieved to blend in and keep pace with others.

...At the end of running wild, my life will end, and for the amount I've worked hard,
I can reach a place where I've become happy.
I'm just a part of this world, so I'll live with peace of mind using my own life.

In a new environment, I'm scared and lonely, so I match those around me as a survival strategy,
but it feels like I've become something that isn't me, and I feel ashamed of my own weakness, smallness, and lack of pride... It happens lol. Like at a first job... I'm scared, so I act like a good person while watching the balance of my seniors...

I hate it when I think I'm being considerate, but I'm actually making others be considerate.
Is this feigned self-sacrifice just a pretense? What a hypocrite.
I want to be proud with a simply frank attitude before being humble.
Yes, my true identity is a beast. The result achieved with a numb life is everything.

...PretenseWhen I was listening to the song, I thought 'otamegokashi' was 'mitame daoshi' (looks can be deceiving), but I felt something was off.
I looked at the lyrics and thought, 'otame daoshi'? I looked it up and it was 'otamegokashi' lol. Heard it for the first time lol.
It seems it means doing something for your own benefit while pretending it's for the other person, deceiving them lol. I see lol.

It also said it's an act where dishonest politicians introduce policies under the guise of being for the people, while actually maintaining or expanding their power and interests, so maybe Ringo-san is hiding her dissatisfaction with politics too?
Awesome! Politics is the worst right now lol. I really want to do something about it...
I'm a considerate person, so I actually try not to make others be considerate, but I think too much and get exhausted, so I decided to only do the bare minimum... This song is really for me lol!
Being just a little kinder than average is fine. I can do it as much as I want, but I don't have to!

Being frank, not putting on airs, and being yourself is best in the end.
No matter how much you are considerate, humble yourself, and wear yourself out, the result you achieve is everything, really... Ringo-senpai...

I felt like I should stop using my power for that and work hard to get results! I felt like I could work hard for myself!
HSP people use their energy there, don't they... Let's use it for ourselves! Let's do that!

Loneliness is, in other words, freedom. Let's go far away in silence.

Real thing, fake, nonsense.Whether it's the real thing or a fake is meaningless.
I've had enough of the rhetoric.
Whether it's happiness or unhappiness, or even victory or defeat, it only has meaning to the person involved.

...Yes, being alone, loneliness is freedom! So time can be used for other things! You can study quietly, concentrate deeply, enjoy using your five senses, become stronger, and go higher!
Others write whatever they want about whether you have talent or are the real deal or not, but that's just their impression, so it has nothing to do with what you expressed.
The only thing that has meaning is what the person themselves thought or felt! Sometimes both are happy and both are winning!

From 2:02 in the YouTube video,
the 'has meaning~ whoa!!! whew up' part,
it gets exciting, and you can see Mr. Miyamoto and Ringo-san each enjoying themselves and respecting each other, which is the best! This video makes me feel like I can work hard at life too! Thanks to the official channel lol.

I have one meager life, might as well use it all up.
Even if sadness covers me, I'll embrace it and keep going.
I have one borrowed life, use it up shamelessly and return it.
Come on, devour it, laugh it off, and go down a path so narrow that no one else can pass.

...This is literal, isn't it? Since it's lyrics, I suppose you think about it in line with the music, but
it feels like she thought about the lyrics she wanted to make Mr. Miyamoto sing, which is good!
And both are protagonists, showing their best, and it's amazing that they have such great chemistry, it's the best!
I can only say it's the best lol.

Because I've worked hard at life for over 30 years, I can release the life worries, resignation, and feelings of being stuck that I feel,
and realize again that I am a living creature, an animal, so I should value my instincts and five senses,
and that I am just one individual on this Earth.
I tend to think about difficult things, but it's simple...! A song that really hits me for thinking too much...

But meager.
A life born by chance through fertilization.
There are over 8 billion humans.
It's a big number, but compared to other living things, you could say it's small.
Since I was born, I want to die after having various experiences and doing everything I can.

When you're alive, sad things happen to everyone in life.
Even if you can't see anything or move because of sadness,
that's also important, so you don't have to forget it.
I'll hold it like my own child and grow together while living...!
I've been unable to move because of sad things, so the lyrics hit home... Crying...

Is my life only this once...? Or maybe I'll be reincarnated.
My current life is lived as a human, kept alive by various people and things, so
without being shy or reserved, I'll do what I want to do,
end it pleasantly, and entrust it to the next.
I'll keep living without being satisfied, as I desire, without getting tired of it,
and since problems aren't a big deal, I'll laugh and enjoy them.
A path that only I, the only one in this world, can pass.
Pursue the life that only I can lead and die.

What a cool song... I'm falling in love with it...
It was mostly my impressions lol. This was my personal opinion that it feels like this kind of meaning!
All the lyrics soak into a life that has been painful, so
I especially want people in their late 20s and older who have experienced life to listen to it!

People who have thought about wanting to die are really tired...
First, rest... Money should be manageable in Japan right now.
Once you look into it and rely on help so you can just live, you can make resting your top priority!

Also, if it's an illness, cure what can be cured! If it's a constitution, deal with it!
I've had various things happen too...
Don't forget that taking care of yourself is the top priority!
Family, work, and money are important too!
But you are the most important! Please take care of yourself above all else!

This video is included in RINGO EXPO’18,
so if you play it at home and relax, your heart and body will get better! lol

It might be the most recommended among Ringo-san's live videos! There are many songs about thinking about life, but it's somehow ephemeral!

For CDs, I recommend them if you're tired of messing with your smartphone! Nowadays, we listen to music on smartphones too...
Everything is on a smartphone, so sometimes I get sick of messing with it all the time...

If you buy a stylish player, it can also be interior decor, which is nice!
This one is simple and cool! It might have a Ringo-san vibe!

I thought she released it as merchandise, and when I looked, it was there lol.
There's quite a lot of merchandise, but it's good material or made-to-order, so I'm an OTK (fan) who watches and regrets every time because I couldn't buy it or it was too expensive and I'm like 'damn it' because I can't get what I want lol.
I want Ukigumo merchandise... release something cute again lol.
But be careful because you don't know if this is the real thing or a fake! lol. You might not make it every time, but it's expensive lol.

Anyway, it's a great song! lol
A song that makes you feel the courage to live like yourself!

Ringo Sheena & Tortoise Matsumoto 'Menukidori' is also recommended!
The theme is similar and you can watch it on YouTube, so please do!

I was planning to write a lyric analysis along with this, but it got long, so next time lol

The Japanese language is truly difficult, so I am captivated by the talent and effort that goes into perfectly crafting such beautiful music and lyrics every single time!
I'm sure she is still creating songs... what an amazing person... it feels presumptuous for me to even praise her...

If you click to purchase from Amazon,
it saves you the trouble of searching,
and it helps my income, so I'm grateful!
This is nothing suspicious!
I am currently undergoing the official Amazon Associates review process!

Just by jumping to the Amazon page,
nothing bad will happen.
Please feel free to enjoy your shopping on Amazon!

Written by an OTK, HSP, ADHD, INFP, INTP lol
Thank you to the kind person who read it all the way through!
I have more recommendations, so maybe another time!
