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.
Lyrics[]
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.
