Intro

“Minor Task Girl” is a track by The Ohayogozaimas, featured on their debut album Monosugoi, which was released on December 31, 2015.

The lyrics deal with the detached, busybody natured people and their emotional detachment from the people around them.

Structure

The song is 3 minutes, 31 seconds long. On the original Monosugoi release, the track blends in with the intro track. The guitar riffs throughout the song carry a busy attitude which reflects the lyrics. The first verse is a back and forth with Nagi and Saba, and the chorus of the song is a back and forth with Utsu-P and Saba. The second verse is different, instead with a different vocal melody entirely, with instrumentals first highlighting the guitar and then giving Utsu-P a brief bass solo underneath Saba's vocals. The chorus plays a second time, then the breakdown build up starts. The main section of the breakdown is a call and response type melody with Nagi's vocals and multipled layers Saba's vocals, respectively. The song ends with a third repeat of the chorus and one final playthrough of the main riff.

Alternate versions

A remastered version is featured on Yorisugoi

Live Performances

This song is performed infrequently live by The Ohayogozaimas.

Lyrics

(Color coded to Nagi and Utsu-P's solo lines.)

献花が散らばった雨の路上の
見渡す限りの悲しみに
合掌もせず目もくれず歩く
野暮用があるから
また誰かのSOSが駅で鳴り
電光掲示板が報せても
躊躇もせず目もくれず向かう
野暮用があるから

毎晩 生まれては 毎晩
踏まれてゆく
摩耗した一億の自我
こんな所で そんな事まで
考えてられないんだ 僕は

もう大した用なんて無いし
今だって話すことはない
内容も無いような他愛もない
ひょんなやり取りだけ
猛烈な雨も 強烈な哀傷も
全部放ったまま
明日もなにかかしらの理由付けて
逢いに行く
野暮用がある

音を上げた生活の隙間からは
貴方の音だけしか
聴こえなくなっていった

毎晩 生まれては 毎晩
踏まれてゆく
どっかの誰かの断末魔
あんな事があって
どんな事があっても
足は止まらない

もう大した用なんて無いし
今だって話すことはない
内容も無いような他愛もない
ひょんなやり取りだけ
猛烈な雨も 強烈な哀傷も
全部放ったまま
明日もなにかかしらの理由付けて
逢いに行く
野暮用がある

夜が日を繋ぐ 雨が地を繋ぐ
声が人を繋ぐ 情が繋ぎ止めている

生活から逃れながら
雨から逃れながら
自らの形を保つための用だ
今日は何を話そう
明日は何を話そう
これから何を話そうか

もう大した用なんて無いし
今だって話すことはない
内容も無いような他愛もない
ひょんなやり取りだけ
猛烈な雨も 強烈な哀傷も
全部放ったまま
明日もなにかかしらの理由付けて
逢いに行く
野暮用がある

Romaji lyrics

Kenka ga chirabatta ame no rojou no
Miwatasu kagiri no kanashimi ni
Gasshou mo sezu me mo kurezu aruku
Yaboyou ga arukara
Mata dare ka no SOS ga eki de nari
Denkou keijiban ga shirasete mo
Chuucho mo sezu me mo kurezu mukau
Yaboyou ga arukara

Maiban umarete wa maiban

Mamou shita ichi oku no jiga
Konna tokoro de sonna koto made
Kangaeterarenai nda boku wa

Mou taishita you nante naishi
Ima datte hanasu koto hanai
Naiyou mo nai youna taai monai
Hyonna yaritori dake
Mouretsuna ame mo kyouretsuna aishou mo
Zenbu hanatta mama
Ashita mo nanika kashira no riyuu tsukete

Ne o ageta seikatsu no sukima kara wa

English Translated lyrics


Floral offerings scattered about on the rainy road
Sadness as far as the eye can see
Walking without even
Because there's a minor task
Someone's SOS rings out at the station again
Even if the electric noticeboard informs people,
I don't hesitate or even look at you, I'm on my way
Because there's a minor task

Every night they are born, every night
they are trampled
One hundred million egos wear out
Such a kind of place, such a kind of thing,
I can't even think of it

I don't have anything else to say
Even now, there's nothing to talk about
There's no content, just aimless rambling
Just a strange exchange
The fierce rain, Intense sorrow
Were all set free
For some reason or another,
I have to go meet someone because
There's a minor task

Only your sounds
Can be heard
From the cracks of life as I raised the volume

Every night they are born, every night
they are trampled
Someone's hour of demise
That kind of thing will happen,
But no matter the circumstance
My feet never stop moving

I don't have anything else to say
Even now, there's nothing to talk about
There's no content, just aimless rambling
Just a strange exchange
The fierce rain, Intense sorrow
Were all set free
For some reason or another,
I have to go meet someone because
There's a minor task

Night touches day, Rain touches earth
Voices connect people, Emotion holds us together

While escaping from life
Escaping the rain,
All for the sake of keeping my own shape
What will we talk about today?
What will we talk about tomorrow?
What shall we talk about now?

I don't have anything else to say
Even now, there's nothing to talk about
There's no content, just aimless rambling
Just a strange exchange
The fierce rain, Intense sorrow
Were all set free
For some reason or another,
I have to go meet someone because
There's a minor task

Trivia

  • This is the first The Ohayogozaimas song to feature Utsu-P's vocals.
  • In live performances, Nagi sings Utsu-P's part. This is likely due to the complexity of the bass line of the chorus making singing and playing at the same time impractical.
  • The tile “Yaboyo girl” is a play on words as “yaboyo girl” sounds exactly as “yaboyo ga aru” which is said throughout the song.
