The Meaning Behind The Song: (MAINICHI) by MIYACHI

As a music promoter, I have come across many talented artists and songs throughout my career. However, there are certain songs that truly leave a lasting impact on me. One such song is “毎日” (MAINICHI) by MIYACHI. I remember stumbling upon this song during one of my late-night music exploration sessions, and I was captivated from the very first note.
The lyrics of “毎日” (MAINICHI) revolve around the everyday grind of the Japanese everyman, specifically focusing on the life of salarymen. MIYACHI reflects upon this monotonous routine, which is unique to Japan’s office workers. The extensive public transportation system in Japan, as opposed to everyone having their own car like in America, adds to the routine nature of their lives.
The song begins with the repetition of the word “毎日” (mainichi), which means “everyday.” This repetitive chant throughout the chorus emphasizes the soul-crushing monotony of salary work. MIYACHI wants to highlight the struggles and hardships faced by these individuals, as they wake up every morning and go through the same routine day after day.
“I feel like Arthur the Joker, doc would you look at my folder?
Don’t think I’m making it sober, medicine all on sofa.
Japanese never miss work,
Got the fam to feed, that’s for shit sure.
That pressure build and they chirp chirp,
Still demons under my shirt shirt.”
MIYACHI acknowledges the pressure and expectations placed upon these salarymen to provide for their families. The constant chirping from society to meet their responsibilities weighs heavy on their minds. In these lines, MIYACHI compares himself to the fictional character Arthur from “Joker,” highlighting the internal struggles and demons he carries within him.
The song beautifully captures the emotions and frustrations of those caught in the daily grind, where work becomes the center of their universe. MIYACHI’s raw and honest lyrics coupled with the infectious beat produce a powerful and thought-provoking track that resonates with listeners.
This song holds a personal significance for me as well, as it speaks to the universal struggle of finding purpose and meaning in our daily lives. It reminds me of the times when I have worked tirelessly to achieve my goals, sometimes sacrificing my own well-being. However, it also serves as a reminder to find balance and to appreciate the small joys in life amidst the challenges.
Overall, “毎日” (MAINICHI) by MIYACHI is a song that captures the essence of the Japanese salaryman’s life. It serves as a window into their experiences and sheds light on the monotony they face daily. MIYACHI’s ability to convey these emotions through his music is commendable and has earned him a special place in the music industry.
