The lyrics of this song will never get old, so please release as many versions as possible and I'll listen to every one! Seriously, though, I really love these stripped-down versions because they really highlight Brandon's soothing voice. I'd have to say this is my favorite recording of his singing.

Gachimayaa - leave the (fridge) door open
Here's a different take on "Gachimayaa" [meaning 'a person who eats a lot'] from the album Tiichi. Lyrics also updated slightly. Twist on the bridge and last chorus.
lyrics
GACHIMAYAA
Chuu ya, yaa kai keetaru tuchi nee
Yii niwi nu atasa.
Nuu yataga yaa? Anshi maasagisan yaa…
Unju ga chukutaru mun du yataru.
Champuruu yataga yaa? Irichii yataga yaa? Uri ka uchinaa suba yataga yaa?
Yashiga yoo, sachi hodo, magaisaru kwatchii kadi chan doo!
[CHORUS:]
Chaa suga yaa? Ari kamibusassaa.
Yashiga yoo, naa chufaara natoosaa.
Chaa suga yaa? Ari kamibusassaa.
Chaa suga yaa? Naa deeji natoon.
“Kamee, kamee!” ndi irattaru mun.
Kamushi ga ru mashi yasa yaa.
Anshi kara, kunu kaba sshi nndantin,
Ippee maasan ndi wakaindoo!
Jiimaami doofu yataga yaa? Durukawashii yataga yaa? Uri ka saataa andagii yataga yaa?
Yashiga yoo, sachi hodo, magisaru kwatchii kadi chan doo!
Chaa suga yaa? Ari kamibusassaa.
Yashiga yoo, naa chufaara natoon, wata mitchooru baatee.
Chaa suga yaa? Ari kamibusassaa.
Naa deeji natoon.
Kamee, kamee!
Usagaree!
Usagamisooree!

ENGLISH
Today when I came home,
there was a good smell in the air.
What could it have been? Smelling so delicious…
It was something that you made.
Was it champuruu? Was it Irichii? Or was it Okinawa soba?
But the thing is, I just had a lot to eat!
[CHORUS:]
What do I do? I want to eat that.
But the thing is, I’m already full.
What do I do? I want to eat that.
What do I do? What a dilemma.
“Eat! eat!” is what I’m told,
So I know it’s better if I do.
And with this aroma, without looking,
I can tell it’s really good
Was it jiimaami doofu? Was it duruwakaashii? Or was it saataa andagii?
But the thing is, I just had a lot to eat!
[chours]
They say “the hungrier you are, the better it tastes”, but I wonder if I can wait til I’m hungry.
[chorus]
Eat, eat!
Eat!
Please eat!
