Big Foot

"Despite the title, this song is NOT about the legendary Bigfoot. (Though Mr. Hirasawa said in the Music Industrial Wastes: P-Model Side book that he doesn't mind at all if you think the album is about a Yeti.)

It's hard to say what this song is actually about, though. The overall concept seems to be about the interconnectedness of humans and technology, so in that context, a lot of the words in this song (like “stack”) relate to computer programming."

Lyrics

 * 1 "“Beautility” is a term used by Robert Cowan to describe the ideal blend of beauty and utility. The Japanese word 機能美 (which I translated with “beautility”) describes the beauty that naturally arises from a manufactured object fulfilling its function. It gives me an image of an artificial sun shining beautifully because that's what it was made to do."
 * 1 "Wherever I wrote “SPEED by SPEED”, the “by” corresponds to “SPEED 倍 SPEED” and means “Speed doubling speed” or “speed multiplied”, or more generally, increasing speed. The fact that “SPEED BY SPEED" shows up elsewhere in the original Japanese lyrics is interesting."
