My Name Is...

**My Name Is...** is one of the original songs of Odd Taxi (anime), composed by PUNPEE and performed by Yano (i.e. METEOR) who was scouted by Fuyuki Yamamoto Music A&R. The music video was directed by Baku Kinoshita and debuted on May 27, 2021. The full version of the song was revealed during the June 20 live event, and will be pre-released on July 14, 2021. It is the first track of the Yano-centric 2019 album.

The music video is a follow-up to the short comic One Day..., in which Yano went to PUNPEE's house for a recording session.

人生は卑屈な耐久レース　今日も一人っすわ

俺がヤノ

痛覚の孤独を感知して　超サディスティックっすわ

俺もヤノ

どうも俺ヤノ　下の名前は謎

ヤノ以下　ヤノ以上　でもない

ヤノはヤノ　ハートはハード

I’m not サイコー　義理堅い男

ボスに恩返す事を　考えてるだけ　それジャスト

パーフェクト　 ハーベスト　山本

関口アゴでこき使う男

ダンベルも　持てないか細い腕金儲け任せとけ

"OK OK ここの会計＂

10億円　脳みそで　口だけで

矢野やってるのはラップ　画数は七　ドブはバカ

このオケさらって作らせてる

PUNPEEっつったっけ　あの眼鏡

人生は卑屈な耐久レース　今日も一人っすわ

俺がヤノ

痛覚の孤独を感知して　超サディスティックっすわ

俺もヤノ

ドブ強えドブうぜえ「飲もうぜ食おうぜ」じゃ

俺のモチベは　上がらねえのに

「兄弟兄弟　メシ行こうぜ」って

大きなお世話 小さな親切

これ思い出　今険悪

俺嫌ってるの気付いたショック

ドブ　可哀想なミドル

俺と憎み合う　酷い地獄

縁切り神社に行っても斬れない繋がり

追跡カルマ　前世でなんかあったと思う

因果　ヤノが使うの女、子供

何故だかどうも　事務所にきたヤツ全員病む

おい山本！薬を飲ませて頑張れせろ

『芸能』夢のまま稼がせろ

人生は卑屈な耐久レース

Life is a despicable endurance race

I'm all alone today

I'm YANO

My algesia detects loneliness

and it's a sadistic world

I’m also YANO

Hello, I'm Yano

First name? I don't know

Nothing less, nothing more

YANO is just YANO

Heart is hard

I'm not a psycho

I'm a righteous man

I'm just thinkin' 'bout paying my boss back

I'm just

Perfect. Harvest

Yamamoto and Sekiguchi, I'm a man drove'em too hard

Arms like twigs, can't even hold a dumbbell

But Leave it up to me 'bout Hustle

"Okay, okay, I've never gone dutch"

Billion yen

Paid by my brain, by just smooth tale (porcupine mouse)

YANO's doing his RAP

Number of strokes is seven

(This lyric refers to how the word ラップ (RAP) would be written in 7 strokes)

DOBU is stupid

His name is PUNPEE, isn't it?

abducted and forced to make beats

Nerd with glasses

Life is a despicable endurance race

I'm all alone today

I'm YANO

My algesia detects loneliness

and it's a sadistic world

I’m also YANO

Dobu pestering me to “eat up, drink up”

Is not gonna motivate me, but saying

"Yo bro, yo bro, let's go grab a bite"

Is a big help, a small kindness

That was in the past, now we have bad blood

Were you shocked when you realized I hate you?

Dobu? Just a pathetic middle-aged man

Despising each other, it's a terrible Hell

Even a separation shrine couldn't sever this bond

(Enkiri jinja or 'shrine of cutting bonds' is a specific type of shrine where people pray for ending a bad relationship)

Persistent karma

Something must've happened in a previous life

Cause and effect

Women, children; Yano uses them all

Thanks for asking why; everyone who came to the office is sick

Oi Yamamoto, lemme swallow those pills and crack that whip

Make bank off the back of an “artistic” dream

Life is a despicable endurance race

## Trivia

* A box of candy drops (ドロップス) can be seen on the table next to Yano. (Which Yano can be seen eating in Episode 10 of the anime.)
* In the background there are references to METEOR's 2009 album Diamond, and 2020 album Three Pines.
* Another image, which also appeared in the anime opening, is an homage to the Beatle's Magical Mystery Tour featuring 'I am the Walrus', which itself is based on Lewis Carroll's 'The Walrus and the Carpenter'. PUNPEE also remixed this track on his 'Awesome Mix Vol.P "A Personal Guardians Of The Galaxy Soundtrack (2014)"' mix tape.
* There is also a poster with "Listen to Riki-Oh" (聴く力王, *Kiku Riki Oo*) which refers to an unreleased album of METEOR and CHIN-HURTZ. The album's name is inspired by the manga series Riki-Oh, which METEOR read when he was a kid.
