Inspired by the beloved children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Harapeko Aomushi (“Hungry Caterpillar”) is a playful yet deeply autobiographical track by Creepy Nuts. Behind its humorous surface lies a story of struggle, ambition, transformation, and fatherhood—all spun with the group’s signature wit and rhythm.
🥬 “All-You-Can-Eat Cabbage Forever” — A Symbol of Hunger and Drive
Okawari muryou no kyabetsu mori forever
Harapeko aomushi datta orera
These repeated lines represent Creepy Nuts’ younger days, when money was scarce, dreams were big, and even free cabbage at bars felt like a feast. The “hungry caterpillar” is a metaphor for ambition born out of real hunger and humility.
🧾 Memories of Late-Night Bars and Bigger Dreams
“Harapeko aomushi yan ke, orera” lol
Next thing you know, plates stacked up high
One day, we’ll swap it all for stacks of cash
Meeting up in cheap izakayas, counting plates instead of bills, R-指定 and DJ 松永 recall their nights fueled by both laughter and quiet determination. The humble beginnings serve as contrast to their current success—but it’s also the soil from which that success grew.
🦋 From Cocoon to Sky — Growth and Flight
Wings on our backs before we even noticed
After long cocoons and salaryman years
Like caterpillars turning into butterflies, they and their friends eventually found their wings. Creepy Nuts’ wings are lyrical—made of rhymes and beats that now take them across stages, screens, and countries.
👶 Fatherhood, Drool-Stained Books, and Legacy
My son munches on everything
Picture books soaked in drool
This lyric is a love let… ah, who am I kidding—he’ll eat it
The song turns unexpectedly tender as R-指定 reflects on his son. Amid deadlines, missed family time, and chaotic parenthood, his perspective shifts from personal ambition to legacy. It’s heartfelt, funny, and all too real.
🐛 From Moles to Papillons — The Evolution of a Rapper
From underground moles to crazy papillons
We’ve finally seen the sunlight
Once hidden underground, like moles digging blindly toward the light, Creepy Nuts are now “papillons”—butterflies flying freely. The line celebrates not only success, but the absurd and unpredictable journey that led to it.
📝 Conclusion｜When Hunger Fuels Flight
