Onsen
An onsen (温泉) is a term for hot springs in the Japanese language, though the term is often used to describe the bathing facilities and inns around the hot springs. As a volcanically active country, Japan has thousands of onsen scattered along its length and breadth. Onsen were traditionally used as public bathing places and today play a central role in directing Japanese domestic tourism.
Onsen come in many types and shapes, including outdoor (露天風呂 or 野天風呂, roten-buro or noten-buro) and indoor baths. Baths may be either publicly run by a municipality or private (内湯, uchiyu) often run as part of a hotel, ryokan or bed and breakfast (民宿, minshuku).
Onsen are a central feature of Japanese tourism, typically found out in the countryside, but there are a number of popular establishments still found within major cities. They are a major tourist attraction drawing Japanese couples, families or company groups who want to get away from the hectic life of the city to relax. Japanese often talk of the virtues of "naked communion" (裸の付き合い, hadaka no tsukiai) for breaking down barriers and getting to know people in the relaxed homey atmosphere of a ryokan with an attached onsen. Japanese television channels often feature special programs about local onsens.

Break Away
by: Unseen(Break Away) IT consumes your life
Everything you do revolves around it
Is this a privilege or a disaster?
(Break Away)
What once was true
Now seems that it’s fucking foul
Are we closing in on the final hour?
A once red hot flame
Seems to smolder away
So do we carry on
Or watch it slip away
So Break Away- Or see it through
Snap the chains
Is this what we should do
So break away 0 or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
Day in day out
The sacrifice is immeasurable
The lengths to which
You’ve gone to make this work
Will never be understood
It’s so funny how you can feel on top
Of the world one minute
And want this dead and gone the next
Now let fate take it’s course
You would give your life just to have it all
Can you see
The writing on the wall
Is this what you deserve
For all you have given
Is the end near
Or has paranoia set in
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Is what you should do
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
My vision is so hazy tonight
My minds been diluted with hate
Help me escape
Hey hey
Do you think that this is the end
It seems like that this is the end
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Is that what we should do
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
My minds been diluted with hate
