Seifuku b-Shounen

Shinsei Kamattechan's song 'Seifuku b-Shounen' delves into the complex emotions of self-perception and societal judgment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their appearance and the harsh scrutiny of others. The repeated phrase 'kimochi warui' (feeling disgusting) underscores the protagonist's deep-seated discomfort with their own face, which they describe as 'majide kimochi warui' (truly disgusting). This self-loathing is exacerbated by the judgmental stares of others, referred to as 'akuma no me' (devil's eyes), which intensify the protagonist's feelings of alienation and rejection.

The song also touches on the theme of societal norms and the pressure to conform. The protagonist's plea to be in 'NOOMARU MOODO' (normal mode) highlights their desire to fit in and be accepted. However, they feel trapped in a cycle of judgment and exclusion, as indicated by the lines 'ZERO to HYAKU to chigau' (different from zero to a hundred). This suggests a sense of being out of place or not meeting societal expectations, further fueling their internal struggle.

Additionally, the song addresses the cruelty of others, particularly through the mocking and dismissive attitudes of 'GYARU-domo' (gals). The protagonist's frustration and anger are palpable as they express a desire to escape the relentless scrutiny and derogatory comments. The repeated command 'kocchi wo mirunaa!!' (don't look at me!!) is a desperate plea for relief from the constant judgment. This intense emotional turmoil is a central theme of the song, reflecting the broader issues of self-acceptance and the impact of societal pressures on individual identity.
