Liner Notes

I'll Drink It All Up, Sip by Sip.

🎼 Rokucha Kudasai_Lee Rang

When life gets complicated and you’re troubled by tangled, contextless thoughts, there’s a song you should listen to. It’s Lee Rang’s . (The album cover looks a bit like me, hmm, no one told me that, it’s just my thought..ㅎ)

I love drinking water. Rather than sweet drinks, I prefer plain water with lots of ice, and these days, I enjoy cool green tea made with matcha powder. Rokucha Rokucha Nokcha Kudasai Kudasai Juseyo. It’s so, so delicious. Hontoni oishii desu ne. All those useless worries, excessive attachments, and delusions, I’ll just mix them all into this green rokucha and drink them all up, sip by sip.

Life, what’s there to do about it? I’ll just sing a song. Lee Rang’s tone and manner are the best.

Yoda-nim, who sits every day at the green tea specialty shop in Osaka, let’s have a cup of rokucha when COVID-19 is over.

💿

Yoda has a green face

He enjoys drinking green tea

He even went to Japan this time

And went to a green tea specialty shop

Green tea, please

Yoda only knows English

How does he order green tea?

Shall we learn together?

Rokucha Rokucha Rokucha Nokcha

Kudasai Kudasai Juseyo

Rokucha Kudasai

Rokucha Kudasai

It’s so, so delicious

Hontoni oishii desu ne

Yoda fell in love with that taste

And decided to live in Japan

If you go to the green tea specialty shop in Osaka

He sits there every single day
