Lyrics

Japanese

坂を登り　開く広々と
穂波が揺れて　猶予う
金色の押し黙る

人が影　置き去りに　手招く
遮った川は深く
水分りの指先抜け

溶ける

夢からさめて　並み居る川門
ひとつ選び　扉めくると　砂に崩れた

七彩光り　枯れ木に刺さり燃えた
彷徨う水鶏　群になり岨に飛ぶ

辿り着いた　影は瞬く光を抱く

漣が稲穂　背押されて森に消えた
彼方に光　見え隠れ
暗闇で探す足跡　照らすものに集う
小さく求めあい

潦　歪んでは細濁り
絶え間無く

ああ　今さら　昇る光見て胸を裂く
小さな影と　背負うもの　噤み行く

歪み裂ける虹と　隠沼落ちた夢と　冷光

掠めて遠く！

ひらひらと光重なって架け橋になる
流れ深き森避けて
水に影短くして在る　それぞれの夜明けを待つ
ひとつ増え　ひとつ消え

誰が為に行き　誰が為に渡す重きか
七彩に問う　身を焦がす
橋を渡る人々に叫ぶが返答無く
手招きして溶けた

坂を登る　その先に
穂波が光っている
今も　変わらず　今も

増えて　消えて　光っている

Song Production Information

Kobouzu Asaki

This came from the "Shinkyoku" album.

I put it here because it is the core of the album theme.
This is a long song, lasting over 5 minutes.
Please play it quietly while sighing.

This time, I left the movie to an outsider.
It's quite surreal and interesting.

By the way, my back teeth are still milk teeth. How hesitating.

Video Production Information

Mamoru Nakano

Actually, it was so touching that I listened to a good, dramatic song, but it was longer than I thought (laughs)
On the way, I made so many, so many prototypes... (sweats)
I thought about a man "crawling quietly in stoicism" in a "uniform loneliness" saturated atmosphere.

I wanted it to be like a "dream" in terms of image, and I would be happy if the theme of "the ugliness of human activities" was conveyed in the video.
