I get many feelings mixed with strong emotion when I listen to some of Momus' songs. I'd like to express them held in the middle of my gall bladder because I really need to let them out today.
❤︎The Cheque's In The Post [from the album "The Ultraconformist"]
When I was a junior-high student, I listened to this song for the first time. Though I neither read the lyrics nor understood them but it sounded heartrending to me at that time and it's been one of my favorites. Last year, after I found him on the internet and I knew he lived in Osaka, I timidly started following him...like listening to his music again and searching for his information on the internet etc...I found his youtube channel and saw some movies which seemed to have been made by himself. One of them was the music video of this song. He on it looked very sexy and I got surprised. I saw him holding a calculator ( first I thought it was a tape recorder or a musical instrument. ). And I got to know the meaning of the song and I realized why he looked so sexy. And I also felt that he surely should live here in Japan with his girlfriend. That's why this song makes me feel a little bitter. Hmm.
❤︎Nervous Heartbeat [from the album "Public Intellectual: An Anthology 1986-2016" originally from "Ocky Milk"]
I listened to this last summer for the first time. This really sounds like a Japanese popular song, I mean it's more like Showa era's "kayo-kyoku". I got so shocked because I felt like he was not the Momus I'd known anymore. But he should have changed...because of his living in Japan and...his Japanese girlfriend! His voice sounded so tender and I couldn't believe my ear listening to him singing some Japanese onomatopoeia and mimetic words. This made me really imagine their daily life. Phew.
❤︎Widow Twanky [from the album "Public Intellectual: An Anthology 1986-2016" originally from "JOEMUS"]
I also listened to this last summer. I got interested because his voice was like mechanically effeted. I really liked the melody and how he sang, which have something that made me kind of nostalgic like his song "Nicky" also did when I was young. "Nicky" was the exact image I had about him when I was young and now my image of him is like the atmosphere of "Widow Twanky" as I saw him moving on his Tumblr page. I have no choice but say he's changed...I still like him though. Sigh.
❤︎Complicated [from the album "The Philosophy of Momus"]
This brought me real heartbreak. Because I knew he got married through the sleeve notes of this album by Kahimi whatever. I closed my Momus world twenty years ago ( when I was 17 years old ). And that's why I listened to the songs released after "Twenty Vodka Jellies" (1996) last summer for the first time. But this song also recalled me to his world when I saw the music video that he re-recorded recently. I liked this song so much and still do so that I can play it in my Broca's area. I'm really happy to meet this song again.

I have a tendency to avoid being involved in any relationship with other people because I don't want to be hurt emotionally. I'm too unconfident to show my feeling being hurt. I may sound like young people these days though. At that time I gave up being in his world, and that's why it's easy to image how I would be next time. But I think I also have changed at least. Because I fell asleep while I was writing this last night. Even though I was so desperate.
Or things are a little different this time. I'm old enough to feel more than before. As my ex-inmate whom I respect told me, I have only what I can do or should do. His "aggressive process of elimination" method have been making me stronger. So now I love what I love now. I'm not sure of tomorrow but I will know how I would be. I'm singing "Complicated" on the guitar now. What a beautiful song! Don't you think so?
