About "Le poinçonneur des Lilas" by Kenzo Saeki
Kenzo Saeki reinvents Brassens' punch-card worker as a wry, jangling curiosity, all clipped rhythm and deadpan delivery. The metro's monotony becomes a strange little groove, bureaucratic drudgery transformed into something oddly buoyant—a Parisian lament that refuses to stay sad.
