Japanese Woman Living In My Closet

I recently discovered and have been listening to a catchy song called Japanese Woman living in my Closet by the indie rock band Miniature Tigers a lot lately so  I thought I’d share the audio addiction so you all can consider adding it to your playlist. While searching for the lyrics for this song I ran into an actual news story about a Japanese homeless woman who actually lived in a man’s closet for almost a year before being discovered. maybe the song is influenced by that event?

I’m not that surprised about such “normal” quirky news from Japan but I must admit that a recent news item about a Japanese man keeping his dead mother in a backpack was crazy to say the least. Enough of my babbling, lyrics and song can be found below as well as links to the news items mentioned.

Japanese Woman Living In My Closet Lyrics

There’s a Japanese woman that lives in my closet
Eats up all my food when she thinks I’m at the office
I came home one day to find she’d gone away
Why do you wanna hurt me?

On my way to work, I’m lost in my head
Every turn I take I hope that she’s there
She lived in my closet for a year and now she’s gone
How could I ever go on?

Have you gone and lost your mind?
Why’d you let her stay so long?
Now you’re all alone
So alone, alone

Now my brother’s holdin’ back from Japan
He came on a Saturday, seemed so mad
I don’t know what happened but your sun is broken

Have you gone and lost your mind?
Why’d you let her stay so long?
Now you’re all alone
So alone, alone

Oh, man, my brother went to Japan
He got caught up in the culture
And he says he’s never coming home
Never wants to talk to me, he never takes my call

Tell me, brother, why so cold?

Have you gone and lost your mind?
Why’d you let her stay so long?
Now you’re all alone
So alone, alone
