Osaka (大阪市, Ōsaka-shi) (Japanese pronunciation: [oːsaka]; listen ) is a designated city in the Kansai region of Japan. It is the capital city of Osaka Prefecture and the largest component of the Keihanshin Metropolitan Area, the second largest metropolitan area in Japan and among the largest in the world with over 19 million inhabitants. Situated at the mouth of the Yodo River on Osaka Bay, Osaka is the second largest city by the daytime population after Tokyo's 23 wards and the third largest city by the nighttime population after Tokyo's 23 special wards and Yokohama in Japan, serving as a major economic hub.
Historically a merchant city, Osaka has also been known as the "nation's kitchen" (天下の台所, tenka no daidokoro) and served as a center for the rice trade during the Edo period.
Some of the earliest signs of human habitation in the Osaka area at the Morinomiya ruins (森ノ宮遺跡, Morinomiya iseki) comprise shell mounds, sea oysters and buried human skeletons from the 5th–6th centuries BC. It is believed that what is today the Uehonmachi area consisted of a peninsular land with an inland sea in the east. During the Yayoi period, permanent habitation on the plains grew as rice farming became popular.

Osaka is the only album put out by The Kickovers. It was released on April 23, 2002 on the Fenway Recordings record label.
Some promotional copies of Osaka went out with the band's original name, The Brakes. Shortly after, they had to change their name because of a New York band called The Break.
The album includes one cover, "Hanging on the Telephone", which was originally performed by The Nerves, although a cover of it by Blondie was more popular. "The Good Life" is also the name of a Weezer song, so some fans may have expected it to be a cover, especially since bassist Mikey Welsh was a member of Weezer prior to The Kickovers. Although not a member, Dave Aarnoff of The Shods performed bass on several tracks of the album.

Esclavos, sólo son esclavos, esclavos,
Esclavos, sólo son esclavos, esclavos,
Esclavos, sólo son esclavos, esclavos,
Atados, dominados por espíritus malvados
Esclavos, sólo son esclavos, esclavos,
Esclavos, sólo son esclavos, esclavos,
Esclavos, sólo son esclavos, esclavos,
Atados, dominados por espíritus malvados.
[Nach Scratch]
Esclavos poseidos,
muñecos, craneos huecos, podridos,
lo noto en los ojos que hay detras de esa bufanda en la que estais escondidos,
mala hierba crece rápido, mi voz es la hoz,
corta de cuajo seres ácidos,
esclavos esposados,
maltratados por mis versos y entallados en tu falsa frente aria,
con rabia, con furia, con desprecio,
poniendo precio al necio que fue siempre el marginado del colegio, ignorado, sin educación básica,
tomo medidas drásticas, se colocó la esbastica,
lanzó su brazo arriba y sintió ser importante,
decidió vengar su odio destruyendo aquello que tenía delante,
ves esclavos en grupo o no ves a ninguno,
imponen su fuerza siempre 15 contra 1,
arropados por su bando, ellos siguen cazando
creen que tienen el mando y en el fondo son blandos,
chocan con lo diferente, se asustan, se atragantan,
combaten su miedo pisando caras y gargantas,
todo esto tiene gracia, y lo más descojonante
es que el domingo en el estadio aplauden a los inmigrantes.

Como la lepra para la piel, asi es mi letra sobre el papel
Como la lepra en el papel, llevas mi letra escrita en tu piel.
[Duke]
Arranca tu piel blanca raza aria,
que sangra entre violento Nacho de entre tanta
perra que amamanta la garganta
de los niños con su leche de penuria,
frutos de furia injustificada de 4 pavos
convertidos en esclavos,
nunca han sido libres, nunca han sido nada,
nunca han visto al diablo maldecirles a traves de mi mirada.
Angustia ciega traga amarga y él,
llora ante una Diosa negra y acariciale la piel,
que te mueres por hacerlo y de eso eres esclavo
como yo del tiempo tras el episodio 8º.
Como carnaza para los buitres, quema tu raza,
la piel se abre, la sangre encaja,
eres la raja en el cuello del cordero degollado
y me voy a beber tus lágrimas en un cáliz sagrado.

Como la lepra para la piel, asi es mi letra sobre el papel
Como la lepra en el papel, llevas mi letra escrita en tu piel.
[Nach Scratch]
Y he tenido visiones de fuegos y de llamas,
de llantos y de dramas, de muertes muy tempranas,
de mentes insanas con ganas de guerra, violencia en la tierra,
se cierran las puertas la paz es incierta,
las ciudades hoy en día ya son islas desiertas,
esclavo estate alerta, tu vía sigue muerta,
cabeza ultra que insulta la oscuramente inculta sigue oculta,
mi rima catapulta se convierte en marapunta,
para daros caza en callejones y plazas,
tú rechazas mi raza, tú rechazas tu raza,
tú rechazas la raza, tú rechazas la vida
y te disfrazas con temor,
es odio y es rencor en tus entrañas,
sois pirañas hambrientas de dolor,
acorraladas en mi círculo, mi esfera,
versículos que escupo amansando asi a las fieras,
ciegas bestias, molestias de la historia,
escoria, yo como VKR hasta la victoria,
sin escapatoria porque sólo sois esclavos,
estais crucificados con clavos en pies y manos,
sin piedad, sin piedad...
