I think a big part of what prevented me from getting into them in a big way was that early Rhymeberry was such an oddball idol rap group. Sekaichuu ni I Love You is a weird song. I still don&#8217;t know if the 1910s\/1920s jazz instrumental was a cover or if it was sampled from something, but it&#8217;s not at all what you&#8217;d expect to listen to with JPop rap from the 2010s. Yet, somehow, it works. The instrumental is great, with a lot of clarinet (my favorite) and is well performed. The members of Rhymeberry are not quite at their peak yet (I still don&#8217;t know if Miri has hit her peak, she&#8217;s so great), but they do an admirable job with what they&#8217;re doing. The lyrics include the phrase &#8220;dope the shit&#8221; which is one of the funniest things I think I&#8217;ve heard from idol lyrics, and also namedrop Han Solo which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n<p>Sekaichuu ni is just eccentric. Even within the small subgenre that is idol rap, there is absolutely no other song even remotely like this.  It&#8217;s unabashedly weird and I just want more songs that feel free to be this odd. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Facebook memory for when I first discovered this song popped up today and I had to share this one as my song of the day.
