Tooi Sakebi

Nakaido Reichi's song 'Tooi Sakebi' delves into themes of rebellion, freedom, and the existential struggles of individuals who feel unjustly punished by society. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels they are suffering consequences for actions they did not commit. This sense of injustice is highlighted in lines like 'なんのつみもないはずなのに なんらかのばつをうけてる' (I should be innocent, yet I am receiving some kind of punishment). The protagonist feels trapped in a world where freedom is costly, and their spirit remains unbroken despite the high price they have paid.

The song also explores the idea of eternal outlaws, individuals who wander through the 'とおいよる' (distant night), never fully belonging to any place or conforming to societal norms. These outlaws are depicted as misunderstood and eternal, suggesting a timeless struggle against the constraints imposed by society. The lyrics 'しらないだろうえいえんのならずものたちを' (You wouldn't know the eternal outlaws) emphasize their perpetual state of rebellion and the isolation that comes with it.

Nakaido Reichi's musical style, often characterized by its raw and emotive delivery, complements the song's themes perfectly. The sense of defiance and resilience is palpable, making 'Tooi Sakebi' a powerful anthem for those who feel marginalized or misunderstood. The song's narrative encourages listeners to embrace their inner strength and continue fighting for their freedom, no matter the cost.
