The "Infinity Ranking" of the Paradeno Mori Game, and Why We Don't Have to Say, "Poor Yuta"
Japanese lyricist Kawada Tomomu discussed a way to calculate the lyrics of Buck-Tick's Atsushi Sakurai briefly on his blog after the singer's death in 2023.
Utilizing a "tag cloud" formulated from the number and frequency of particular words in Sakurai's lyrics, an analyzing program produced the number 67,257.
Kawada further discusses the lyrics with the programmer, which highlight Sakurai's use of language, avoidance of certain topics, and grace in others, even compared to other lyricists.
