Maharajan -- Kimi no Ha Burashi（君の歯ブラシ）

 

From YouTube

Maharajan （マハラージャン）is a Tokyo singer-songwriter who has a rather distinct look matching a suit with a turban. According to his J-Wiki profile, when he told his former management company that he wanted to stand out from the crowd, they responded with "Well, how about being a maharajah?". I guess the man who would become Maharajan (his real name is confidential) answered in the affirmative.

Beginning his career as a music artist in 2019, Maharajan has thus far released four digital download EPs, five digital download singles, three albums and one vinyl LP. From his third album, "Shouki ja Irarenai"（正気じゃいられない...Going Insane） released in July 2022, I give you the track "Kimi no Ha Burashi" (Your Toothbrush) which was written and composed by the singer.

Judging from the music video and his lyrics, this catchy tongue-in-cheek pop tune with a hint of disco is probably showing the most passive-aggressive form of vengeance against a former love. Well, it's either that or the former boyfriend is being very pragmatic with the things that the ex has left behind. In any case, "Kimi no Ha Burashi" is a pretty fun post-breakup song. My compliments to the brief guitar solo by Yuya Komoguchi. As for the album, "Shouki ja Irarenai" peaked at No. 38 on Oricon.
