So so good

## Audio

**so so good** is a song by Aile The Shota featuring artist Ma-Nu of Soulflex. It is the first track of his second EP, IMA.

## Background

Shota is a big fan of the group Soulflex and had the opportunity to work with some its members for his first single AURORA TOKIO. For his second EP he wanted to work with them again, but this time with beats made by member and composer Mori Zentaro. He also wanted to feature a rapper to which Zentaro suggested Ma-Nu.

Shota commented, "The theme of the song is the vibe I got when I went into the studio to write the lyric and melody after receiving the beat. The lyric, 'highly carbonated cider,' is really about drinking, like "drinking cider in the morning is a great way to get a boost for the day.' It's just like walking from my house to the studio. It reaffirmed for me how much I like this kind of songwriting. ... I wanted the song to have the spine of a pop song, and I wanted the chorus to be catchy because Ma-Nu was a guest performer, so I really struggled with the top line of the chorus. I really tried to create something original for Aile The Shota. But in the end, I think I was able to create a balance between 'danceable and catchy.'"

On March 19, 2023, he released a music video for the song, which he produced himself.

Fukaku suikomu taiyou muda ni hayaoki shite saikou

Choushoku wa nani ni shiyou haoru mai peesu

Niyakechau kurai no koodineeto

Shuwatto suru shigeki motomete

Kyoutansan no saidaa

Oki ni no spot ni kuridasou

Densen goshi no pasuteru so good

Machi yori kaoru fukamidori ni pumped up

Warai tarinai yo na madamada

Hora Time is money yappa sou janai

Mada konna jikan

Kawaribae nai hi demo ajiwaeba uta ni naru

Kudaranai koto ni mune odorasaretetai

Sawagidasu my feeling

Nogasenai

Saeteru asa ichi

Norikonashi kata jouju

Ima toppa up

Appaa de fanii

Appare ni deribarii

Koi suru sutamen

Biba don’t stop it

Rusuban wa iya darou yo

Ikisaki mo jiyuu massara

Na mo naki ichi nichi no na wo gandaara

Kibun ni hirei shite

Dareka no ire chie

Say goodbye

Tsuukisei yoshi iki suu dondon mirai

Gofungo no kousou kuwazu kirai

Omowaku wa douse itsumo mikansei

Irikunda tanken aishinuke

Kazemakase, hitomakase de naku (on my way)

Mune no uchi koso you de aru (on my way)

Omae no hou mo totonou made

Shirigomi nado fuyou fukyuu

Gazen guddo baibusu

Kawaribae nai hi demo ajiwaeba uta ni naru

Kudaranai koto ni mune odorasaretetai

Sawagidasu my feeling

Nogasenai

Harewataru new day

Ikansen sugu ni waraenai

Orera no daitai

Sageta mesen no saki de saikai

Konna uta ni sukuwarereba saiwai

Shikamettsura mekureba keikai

Tte wake demo nai kedo reigai

Nakerya tsukureba ii ribati

We are on my way mou konna jikan?

Ina, mada konna jikan!

Kono kimochi wa dare ni mo ubaenai

Kawaribae nai hi demo ajiwaeba uta ni naru

Kudaranai koto ni mune odorasaretetai

Sawagidasu my feeling

Nogasanai

**English Translation**
Inhale the sun deeply, rise up early for no reason is the best

What should I have for breakfast? Put on a cloak, go at my pace

Smiling so much at my coordinate

A sizzle that stimulates

A strongly carbonated cider

Let’s head out to my favorite spot

Pastel over electric lines so good

A deep green more fragrant than the city pumped up

Not enough laughter, not even close

Come now, Time is money. I knew it

Look at the time

Even a day that doesn’t stand out, if you feel it it can become a song

I want to be excited over trivial things

My feeling starts to make noise

Don’t miss it

A clear morning

How to ride it out; achievement

Breakthrough now and up

Funny in the upper

Delivery on a sunny day

Starter lineup in love

Viva don’t stop it

Don’t like staying at home

Don’t even know where you’re going

Gandhara, the name of a day with no name

In proportion to my mood

Someone’s putting in a good word for you

Say goodbye

Breathable. Breathe in. Slowly, into the future

Plan after 5 minutes: I hate eating

Thoughts are incomplete anyway

Intricate exploration. Lovelorn.

Leave it to the wind, not to people (on my way)

What’s in your heart is what’s important (on my way)

Until you are ready too

There’s no need to hesitate

Suddenly good vibes

Even a day that doesn’t stand out, if you feel it it can become a song

I want to be excited over trivial things

My feeling starts to make noise

Don’t miss it

A clear new day

It doesn’t matter if we don’t laugh easily

Most of us usually

Meet again lowering our gaze

I hope a song like this saves you

If you turn the page with a frown, you’ll feel better

Not an excuse, but it’s an exception

If you don’t have one, just make it Liberty

We are on my way. Oh it’s already this late?

No, it’s still early!

No one can take away this feeling

Even a day that doesn’t stand out, if you feel it it can become a song

I want to be excited over trivial things

My feeling starts to make noise

Don’t miss it

**Japanese Lyrics**
深く吸い込む太陽　無駄に早起きして最高

朝食は何にしよう　羽織るマイペース

にやけちゃうくらいのコーディネート

シュワッとする刺激求めて

強炭酸のサイダー

お気にのspotに繰り出そう

電線越しのパステル so good

街より香る　深緑に pumped up

笑い足りないよな　まだまだ

ほら Time is money　やっぱそうじゃない

まだこんな時間

代わり映えない日でも　味わえば歌になる

くだらないことに胸躍らされてたい

騒ぎだす my feeling

逃せない

冴えてる朝イチ

乗りこなし方　成就

いま突破up

アッパーでファニー

天晴れにデリバリー

恋するスタメン

ビバ don’t stop it

留守番は嫌だろうよ

行き先も自由まっさら

名もなき一日の名をガンダーラ

気分に比例して

誰かの入れ知恵

Say goodbye

通気性良し　息吸う　どんどん未来

5分後の構想　食わず嫌い

思惑はどうせいつも未完成

入り組んだ探検　愛し抜け

風任せ、人任せでなく (on my way)

胸の内こそ要である (on my way)

おまえの方も整うまで

尻込みなど不要不急

俄然グッドバイブス

代わり映えない日でも　味わえば歌になる

くだらないことに胸躍らされてたい

騒ぎだす my feeling

逃せない

晴れ渡るnew day

いかんせん　すぐに笑えない

俺らのだいたい

下げた目線の先で再会

こんな歌に救われれば幸い

しかめっつらめくれば軽快

ってワケでもないけど例外

なけりゃ作ればいいリバティ

We are on my way　もうこんな時間？

否、まだこんな時間！

この気持ちは誰にも奪えない

代わり映えない日でも　味わえば歌になる

くだらないことに胸躍らされてたい

騒ぎだす my feeling

逃せない
