About these sets
Gusare, Part 2. ぐされ (2021), second half: 暗く黒く, ろんりねす, 繰り返す収穫, 過眠 and 奥底に眠るルーツ. The mood turns inward and domestic, with solitude and small comforts: 孤独, 落ち着く, 落ち込む, 思い出, 苦手. The closing track is an evening at home, full of plain household Japanese like 夕暮れ, 風呂, 返事 and 味方.
Gusare, Part 1. ぐされ (2021), the second album, first half: 胸の煙, 正しくなれない, 勘ぐれい, はゔぁ and 機械油. These songs circle around doing things properly and failing at it, which yields solid everyday words such as 真面目, 正しい, 無駄, 諦める and 悔しい. 機械油 is a fast, rap-like track about disagreeing politely, with 共感, 誤解, 失礼 and 油断.
Hisohiso Banashi. 潜潜話 (2019), the first full album. Much of it is set at school and among classmates: 居眠り遠征隊 gives sports day, packed lunches and rumours (運動会, 弁当, 噂), and 優しくLAST SMILE is a crush told through lateness, the nurse's office and staying up late (遅刻する, 保健室, 夜更かし). The rest is the vocabulary of saying what you mean: 素直, 迷惑, 冗談, 覚悟, 後悔.
