About these sets

Magic, Part 2. MAGIC's second half. Exhibition Death Match is an argument with everyone who ever measured you and borrows their language to do it - 物差し, 測る, 効率, 協調性, 人望, 筋道 - while Ame to Boku no Hanashi ends a relationship in the plainest possible words and Happy Birthday spends a birthday alone: 手違い, 着信, 縮まる, 片想い.

Magic, Part 1. MAGIC (2019) is back number's most confident album. Mabataki defines happiness as holding an umbrella over someone - 差す, へりくだる, 目を凝らす - Summer Wonderland supplies the vocabulary of a complicated summer (忖度, 波風, 目眩, 踏み切る), and Artist turns the music business into a shop window: 担保, 充満, 見世物, 撒き散らす.

Dai Fuseikai. 大不正解 (2018) is back number at their most caustic. The title track is a couple who refuse to complete each other - 完全無欠, 原型, 補う, 噛み付く - Kyoukasyo daydreams over textbook margins (落書き, 壮絶, 大袈裟, 積み立てる), and Loneliness stages an interview with God and borrows arithmetic to do it: 多数決, 四捨五入, 端数, 切り捨てる.
