Its one of my favorite genres of idol song. Some of my other favorite  songs in this genre include, Kobushi\u2019s Kore Kara Da and Angerme\u2019s Taiki  Bansei. These songs tend to be released when I am going through a  struggle and give me perspective. I often think the songwriters are  talking to themselves when they write these songs, but even if they  aren\u2019t, Jinsei Blues felt tailor made for me. I love the message, and  showing the girls as non-idols always works for me. Just like Kobushi\u2019s  Kore Kara Da, this has the girls in \u201cnon-idol situations.\u201d Its like,  what would these girls be doing if they weren\u2019t idols? The general theme  of Jinsei Blues is, if you are doing something difficult, do not quit,  just keep showing up and trying to make a change. If you do that, you  will eventually achieve your goal, so long as you do not quit. I once  read that quitting means that you are no longer willing to hear people  tell you no about whatever you are passionate about.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this  song having blues in the title, none of the song has blues as a genre in  it. The blues in the title likely means \u201cfeeling down,\u201d not the  american music art form. The intro sounds every bit like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JLeCLRK8Ws859D%25E8%2596%25ABthis&amp;m=1\">&nbsp;Irish dance music<\/a>&nbsp;in  my estimation. Irish dance music &nbsp;is highly percussive, and the music  is highly syncopated, much like Tsunku\u2019s new little ditty. The verses,  just stay on the same chord, there really isn\u2019t musical movement until  the chorus where Tsunku gives me that lovely circle of fourths I  patiently wait for. In the choruses, the vocal parts are delivered like a  rhythmic chant, its very similar to \u201care you happy.\u201d Since the song  really doesn\u2019t have that much musical movement in it (chord changes,  &nbsp;dynamics, instrument addition and subtraction) the real flavor of the  song is added with rhythm and syncopation. Its a great song.<\/p>\n<p>There  is this cool computer garbled talk effect that happens on the  background vocals that I love, it occurs in the one word parts of the  verse (Kowagaru na). For the third chorus Tsunku jumped in 2 beats early  before the chorus with the first jinsei tte which is 6 beats instead of  the normal 8 beats (2 measures). Also the bridge is only 7 measures  instead of the normal 8, its all sorts of witchcraft in this song \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Format of the Song<\/p>\n<p>(Numbers to the left represent the amount of measures in that part of the song)<br \/>Intro &#8211; &nbsp;8<br \/>Irish Interlude 1 &#8211; 8<br \/>verse 1a -8 (Kowagaruna)<br \/>verse 1b &#8211; 8 (Shinjou mo)<br \/>pre chorus 1 -4 (waraette) (Move to another chord)<br \/>Jinsei tte 1 &#8211; 2<br \/>Chorus 1 a &#8211; 8<br \/>Chorus 1 a Jinsei tte &#8211; 1<br \/>Chorus 1 b &#8211; 8<br \/>Chorus 1 end -4 (Jinsei blues)<br \/>Irish Interlude 2 &#8211; 4<br \/>verse 2a -8 (ukareru shi)<br \/>verse 2b &#8211; 8 (aijou mo)<br \/>pre chorus 2 &#8211; 4 (waraette) (Move to another chord)<br \/>Jinsei tte 2 &#8211; 2<br \/>Chorus 2 a &#8211; 8<br \/>Chorus 2 a Jinsei tte &#8211; 1<br \/>Chorus 2 b &#8211; 8<br \/>Chorus end -4 (Jinsei blues)<br \/>Chorus 2 breakdown 6<br \/>Bridge &#8211; 7<br \/>Jinsei tte 3 &#8211; &nbsp;1 and a half (6 beats)<br \/>Chorus 3 a &#8211; 8<br \/>Chorus 3 Jinsei tte &#8211; 1<br \/>Chorus 3 b &#8211; 8<br \/>Chorus 3 end &#8211; 4<br \/>Irish Interlude 3 \/ Outro &#8211; 4<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jinsei Blues (\u4eba\u751fBlues) \u4f5c\u8a5e\uff1a\u3064\u3093\u304f\u3000\u4f5c\u66f2\uff1a\u3064\u3093\u304f\u3000\u7de8\u66f2\uff1a\u5927\u4e45\u4fdd\u85ab This continues a long tradition of \u201cYou can do it\u201d songs from hello project.
