Ohayo

According to Hirasawa, the song is about alienation and isolation. However, the lyrics are contradictory, something he only noticed during the mixdown of Landsale; he didn't tell anybody about it and hoped no-one would notice. The main melody of the song is a modified quotation of the Ultravox! song "My Sex" (written by John Foxx, Chris Cross and Billy Currie).

Versions
Unique in P-Model's repertoire for its arrangement: Hirasawa's lead and the first lineup's backing vocals, the Roland CR-78 pattern and electric guitar were common elements at the time; but the central parts are done through acoustic piano and a string section. Hirasawa felt the first take of the strings part didn't match his intent, so he asked the players to loosen the tuning of their instruments for the second, which they refused to.

 * The situation with the string players brought a bitter smile to Hirasawa's face years later: the exact same sequence of events happened again when recording "Bandiria Travellers".
