青い花柄のワンピース// Aoi hanagara no wanpiisu // Blue floral-patterned one-piece dress 脱げかけた黄色いサンダル// Nugekaketa kiiroi sandaru // Yellow sandals about to fall off 飲みすぎた道すがら// Nomisugita michi sugara // Drinking too much along the way 誰もがきみの噂話をしている// Daremo ga kimi no uwasabanashi o shiteiru // Everyone has a rumour to tell about you
パラッパ // parappa // Para(noid) Pa(rade) [repeat x 16]
いつもの街で会えるような気がしていたよ // Itsumo no machi de aeru you na ki ga shiteitayo // I had a feeling we could see each other in every city 馬鹿げた妄想で今夜もまた踊りつづける // Baka geta mōsō de konya mo mata odoritsuzukeru // Even tonight you still keep dancing to your absurd delusions
いつもの間にかTシャツを着る季節になって // Itsumo no ma ni ka T-shatsu o kiru kisetsu ni natte // Every time becomes a season to wear t-shirts きみの横には去年と違う人が居るね // Kimi no yoko ni wa kyonen to chigau hito ga iru ne // There is a different person at your side than last year
真夜中の交差点 迷子の行列 // Mayonaka no kōsaten Maigo no gyōretsu // A midnight intersection, a procession of lost children 風が吹いたら 夏がはじまる // Kaze ga fuitara Natsu ga hajimaru // If the wind blows, summer has begun
青い花柄のワンピース// Aoi hanagara no wanpiisu // Blue floral-patterned one-piece dress 脱げかけた黄色いサンダル// Nugekaketa kiiroi sandaru // Yellow sandals about to fall off 飲みすぎた道すがら// Nomisugita michi sugara // Drinking too much along the way 誰もがきみを貶しながらも見とれている// Daremo ga kimi o kenashinagara mo mitoreteiru // Everyone speaks ill of you despite being enraptured
パラッパ // parappa // Para(noid) Pa(rade) [repeat x 16]
真夜中の交差点 迷子の行列 // Mayonaka no kōsaten Maigo no gyōretsu // A midnight intersection, a procession of lost children 風が吹いたら 夏がはじまる // Kaze ga fuitara Natsu ga hajimaru // If the wind blows, summer has begun
真夜中の交差点 迷子のままで // Mayonaka no kōsaten Maigo no mama de // A midnight intersection, remaining a stray child 二度と戻れない 夏がはじまる // Nidoto modorenai Natsu ga hajimaru // There is no turning back, summer has begun
青い花柄のワンピース// Aoi hanagara no wanpiisu // Blue floral-patterned one-piece dress 脱げかけた黄色いサンダル// Nugekaketa kiiroi sandaru // Yellow sandals about to fall off 飲みすぎた道すがら// Nomisugita michi sugara // Drinking too much along the way 誰もがきみの噂話をしている// Daremo ga kimi no uwasabanashi o shiteiru // Everyone has a rumour to tell about you

The song "Paranoid Parade" was written By Sato (Kinoko Teikoku's leader/Gt/Vo) shortly after touring Canada during Next Music from Tokyo vol 5. During the tour the members of Kinoko Teikoku and Harafromhell became best friends and in particular Sato Chiaki and Tatejima Yoko really hit it off.
Tatejima Yoko is the singer for Harafromhell.
As you can tell she is gorgeous. She is also a proud otaku (her fave mangas are: Dorohedoro and Aku no Hana) and supreme master at photobombing. She is down to earth but incredibly zany; although, she behaved herself quite well in Canada during the tour. But in Japan she is legendary for being the craziest drunk. She doesn't get obnoxious, just EXTREMELY clumsy and does the WEIRDEST sh*t. Her fashion sense is also best described as: seriously?wtf The great part about her is that she really doesn't care about outward appearances and dresses simply for comfort. So she's usually seen rocking a T-shirt, jeans and Chuck Taylors. Actually, I'd prefer she dress this way when performing on stage but instead she usually wears super old fashioned long-sleeved dresses in weird color combinations that cover everything from her neckline to below her knees. And in Canada she also wore neon bright yellow sandals:
If you haven't guessed by now, "Paranoid Parade" is a song that Kinoko Teikoku's Sato wrote that describes her crazy new best friend Tatejima Yoko. Tatejima is the one of the coolest, sweetest, most interesting and completely bonkers girls you'll ever meet and we all love her!!!
It's awe inspiring to realize that inviting Kinoko Teikoku and Harafromhell together for NMFT5 resulted in this song being made. This a great song and probably my favorite off of their latest ep "Long Goodbye" If fans of Kinoko Teikoku learned to sing the following refrain for the NMFT6 shows in May:
Aoi hanagara no wanpiisu Nugekaketa kiiroi sandaru Nomisugita michi sugara Daremo ga kimi no uwasabanashi o shiteiru
then that would be fantastic! Notes: 1. this refrain is repeated 4x but the last line is slightly different the 2nd and 4th times. 2. if it's too difficult to memorize you can jot the lines down onto your iPhone or smartphone of choice 3. if these 4 lines are too much to handle then just sing the 'parappa parappa' part that follows the refrain !!
