Gei School Otokogumi

Sendai Kamotsu's song 'Gei School Otokogumi' delves into the complexities of youthful desires and forbidden relationships within the context of a school setting. The lyrics are a vibrant mix of playful and provocative language, reflecting the band's unique style that often blends humor with deeper social commentary. The song opens with a call to 'Sendai Sensei,' setting the stage for a narrative that unfolds over the course of a week, highlighting the protagonist's internal struggles and unfulfilled desires.

The lyrics describe a 'gakuen paradaisu' (school paradise) where the protagonist experiences intense, often confusing emotions. The use of days of the week to structure the song emphasizes the routine and monotony of school life, juxtaposed with the protagonist's yearning for something more. The mention of 'Hiwaina danshoku paradaisu' (lewd male paradise) and 'henna shiru' (strange fluids) suggests a hidden world of sexual exploration and taboo relationships. This is further complicated by the reference to an 'Ejipushan' (Egyptian) lover, symbolizing an exotic and unattainable desire.

The chorus reflects the uncertainty and excitement of youth, with lines like 'Seishun haru no yukue mada wakaranai kara' (I still don't know where the spring of youth is going) and 'Renaisuruni wa risukunante tsukimono' (Love always comes with risks). These lines capture the essence of adolescence—an age of exploration, risk-taking, and the search for identity. The repeated chant of 'Gay gay gay gay!' towards the end of the song is a bold declaration of the protagonist's sexual orientation, challenging societal norms and embracing their true self. The song concludes with a call to cherish the present moment, 'Ikkaikiri no ima wo mune no okuni nokosou' (Let's leave this one-time moment deep in our hearts), underscoring the fleeting nature of youth and the importance of living authentically.
