(Translation: “Hello / My name is North-chan / California to Tokyo / Jesus king / God is praise / Jesus is the only true god.” Rolling Stone UK calls it “a sprightly J-pop song with Japanese lyrics rapped by Kim and Kanye’s daughter North West…a bizarre misstep on the album,” while Financial Times calls it a “cartoonishly cutesy J-pop-influenced affair.” The Quietus says “it sticks out on an otherwise sophisticated album, and is just plain annoying.” Read the lyrics and listen inside.
