The brilliant songwriter and all-around nice guy, Jin Akanishi is about to launch his new album, Japonicana. Some netizens have already gotten their hands on a digital copy and thus on the lyrics of his songs. One in particular is very interesting:
That's what she said - lyrics

I'm thirsty - That's what she said
I can't drink this - That's what she said
This is too much - That's what she said
It's huge - That's what she said
This tastes funny - That's what she said
My throat hurts - That's what she said
I feel so good - That's what she said
I need this
Chug it
Swallow swallow swallow swallow
Swallow swallow swallow swallow
Chug it
Swallow swallow swallow swallow
Swallow swallow swallow swallow
Down up down up down up down down up up
Down up down up down up down down up up

I'm thirsty - That's what she said
I can't drink this - That's what she said
This is too much - That's what she said
It's huge - That's what she said
This tastes funny - That's what she said
My throat hurts - That's what she said
I feel so good - That's what she said
I need this
Chug it
Swallow swallow swallow swallow
Swallow swallow swallow swallow
Chug it
Swallow swallow swallow swallow
Swallow swallow swallow swallow
To the right, to the left, to the left, to the left
Down up down up down up down down up up
Down up down up down up down down up up
(repeat last 3 verses)
So what does it mean? Judge for yourself. The fact that Jin hasn't put one proper sentence in the entire song certainly leaves something for the imagination. It's hard not to think of date rape and misogynism when he uses such classy lines like "Slut + Bitch = Slutch", "I can't drink this", "This tastes funny". How much his fans want to support such a message remains to be seen. Japonicana comes out on March 6th and will be available on itunes and several amazon stores.
