Sex Pistols - - One Better!

SEX MACHINE GUNS!! Really!

From Ehime, Shikoku, land of "mikan" (tangerines). The song is "Mikan no Uta" --"Tangerine Song".

The lyrics say, "Tangerine, tangerine!! If you don't like tangerines, you're not really Japanese!" and they sing, "Ponjus -- tangerine juice -- it's the water of life!"

My friend who lives on Shikoku, told me about this! She went to a karaoke bar with her work colleagues for a soubetsukai (good-bye party) for one guy who is leaving that job. All of her colleagues are younger. She is 32. All of a sudden this quiet guy started screaming the "Mikan no Uta" song. She was so surprised.

I found out that their genre is: "Speed Metal Band"!! (who knew?)

Mikan No Uta Lyrics (Sex Machineguns)

Sex Machineguns - Mikan No Uta Lyrics

Ore no tamashi no sakebi da! ehime no kokoro! omaetachi!
Ehime no! mikan!

Mikan wa iroiro aru keredo
Ehime no mikan wa hitotsu dake
Ehime no mikan wo taberu nara
Nouka no ai wo kamishimero
Kawa wo suteru yatsu ga iru
Kawa wo sutete wa ikenai ze
Furo ni irete attamareba
Pokapoka

Kokoro ga nagomeba sekai wa hitotsu
Sekai ni habatake ehime no mikan

Mikan mikan mikan
Mikan mikan mikan
Mikan mikan mikan

Ehime no mikan wa sekaiichi
Mikan wo karada de kanjiyou
Mikan wo somatsu ni suru yatsu wa
Mikan ni yararete shinjimae
Kotatsu ni mikan ga nai ie wa
Nihon no kokoro wo nakushiteru
Nihon no kokoro wo torimodose

Mikan wo shibore kore ga ê ponjyuusu
Inochi no mizu da ê ponjyuusu

Minna de nomo ehime no kokoro
Mikan wo kueba sukuwareru
Orenji ni makenai kogane iro no kajitsu
Inochi no mizu da pon.ju-su
