ウマーベラス (umāberasu)

Monkey Majik's song 'ウマーベラス (umāberasu)' is a whimsical and humorous take on the universal love for food and the wishful thinking that it could all be calorie-free. The lyrics are a playful celebration of various Japanese foods, from donuts and castella cakes to gyū tan (beef tongue) and zunda mochi (sweet soybean rice cakes). The repeated phrase 'Everything is no calorie' encapsulates the dream of indulging in these delicious treats without any of the guilt or consequences associated with calorie intake.

The song's narrative follows a light-hearted and almost fantastical journey through different culinary delights. The protagonist seems to be on a quest to enjoy as much food as possible, with the humorous twist that no matter how much they eat, it all remains 'zero calorie.' This is further emphasized by the playful interactions with gym staff and the excitement of discovering new food places, like a sudden sushi shop or a hamburger joint. The lyrics also touch on the common experience of balancing indulgence with attempts at fitness, as seen in the references to going to the gym and sauna.

Monkey Majik, known for their unique blend of Western and Japanese musical influences, brings a catchy and upbeat tune to this song, making it not just a lyrical delight but also a musical one. The band's ability to infuse humor and light-heartedness into their music is evident here, creating a song that is both fun and relatable. 'ウマーベラス (umāberasu)' is a delightful escape into a world where food is abundant, delicious, and miraculously free of calories, resonating with anyone who has ever wished for guilt-free indulgence.
