Iron Fox & Smoky Raccoon
TANUFOXCreated by M.Sawaguchi / Lyrics by M.Sawaguchi
This track is an avant-garde dystopia song where a highly automated, near-future battlefield bizarrely collides with the world of traditional craftsmanship. The lyrics deliver a razor-sharp satire of our digital society, set to the erratic rhythm of "Discordant Jazz." It introduces two central figures: the "Fox," a cold, autonomous AI weapon, and the "Raccoon," a corporate trickster who uses buzzwords to cover up collateral damage as mere "software bugs." Standing in stark contrast to this digital deception is the narrator—a lonely blacksmith who rejects material wealth to pound heavy iron, symbolizing the resilience of the human soul. However, just as the song reaches its philosophical peak, the serious tone is abruptly shattered by a maniacal, defiant laugh ("GA-HA-HA-HA!"), plunging the narrative into pure theatrical chaos. With its dramatic shift in perspective and dark, cinematic atmosphere, this conceptual track is bound to leave a powerful, haunting impression.

LYRICS:
Verse 1]
The newest "Fox" tears through the killing field
With a sensor-eye, cold and perfectly sealed
Carving out "Truth" at a lightning-fast pace
Not a flicker of doubt on that silicon face
Pulling the trigger with a zero-delay grace.
[Verse 2]
And behind the curtain, the "Raccoon" beats his drum
Touting "System!" and "Future!" till our minds go numb
Spitting out smoke to mask the casualties' name
If blood hits the floor, "It’s a bug!" is the game
Vanishing the receipts of the guilt and the shame.
Dancing in the Taiji, spinning left and right
A comedy of errors, blinded to the light
Are your brains still sleeping in a digital haze?
Are you missing the rhythm of this Discordant Jazz?
(Listen up! Can’t you hear the mess?)
The Fox fires the shot, the Raccoon’s in stitches
While I’m back at the anvil, ignoring the riches
Just pounding heavy iron… the soul never switches.
…Just kidding! GA-HA-HA-HA!
