Who is Lil taro boy?
Lil taro boy is an emerging rapper on the Japanese scene. Since his beginnings, he has sought to find a balance between everyday reality (heibon, 平凡) and a personal, often poetic writing style. Unlike other artists who lean toward more aggressive or festive rap, Lil taro boy embraces an introspective and emotional approach, which sets him apart in contemporary Japanese rap.
The track “Funeral” is not simply a song about death or sadness. Lil taro boy uses the image of a “funeral” to symbolize the burial of his former self, a way to turn the page and move toward a new stage in life.
He expresses it clearly in the chorus:
もういない / もういない / 過去の俺を / 弔い
(He’s gone, he’s gone, I bury my former self.)
This theme of personal rebirth runs through the entire song and gives it a universal dimension: everyone can relate to the need to free themselves from the past to move forward. The production of Funeral stands out for its balance between darkness and softness. It incorporates elements typical of modern Southern U.S. trap: heavy bass, rapid hi-hats, and a dark atmosphere. But Lil taro boy and his team deliberately strip away the street-level violence often associated with this style, replacing it with a more emotional and introspective approach.
