Lyrics and composition

edit

"Kamippoi na" is a fast-paced electropop song. Its vocal range spans from the low note of A3 to the high note of D♯6, which appears before the last refrain.[1]

The song satirizes modern popular trends.[3] The word "God-ish" repeatedly appears in the song lyrics. PinocchioP explained that although someone appears to understand everything, eventually it's just "god-ish", not "god".[2]

The lyrics quote Friedrich Nietzsche's statement "Gott ist tot". PinocchioP expressed his liking for "active nihilism" in an interview, and thought the words aligned with the song title and his mode of thinking.[2]

Music video

edit

A music video for "Kamippoi na" was released on September 17, 2021. The music video features an illustration of a nun with a tongue piercing holding a cigarette.[4] The animation style of music video adopts the popular Vocaloid music videos' style, forming a contrast with the song theme.[2]
