風に吹かれて　波打つ水の
潮の薫りに　包まれる
空に浮かぶ　雲流るるは
揺られて進むか　海の端

風に吹かれて　流れる髪の
甘い薫りに　包まれる
心浮かぶ　時流るるは
ふたり運ぶか　大桟橋

English

As the wind blows over the rippling water embraced by the scent of the tide wavey clouds float up in the sky swaying and making their way to the edge of the sea you look up into the sky of blooming flowers that dissappear to the other side in sleep you show me your graceful smile which never leaves my mind As the wind blows through your flowing hair embraced by a sweet smell the currents of time float through our mind carrying the two of us to Oosanbashi

Song Production Information

TOMOYUKI

I felt more motivated to work this time. This is an original song, and its theme is Japan.
And yet it feels IIDX-like. It's somehow difficult.
As a result, the lyrics brought out the melody, which immediately completed this song after they were conceived.
Hiroyuki wrote them afterwards, but it isn't full-size due to time constraints, so we prepared an exclusive arrangement for IIDX.
So the game's notecharts should also be interesting~.

One day, we created a song under the JAPAN genre, so I was asked to write the lyrics. Even saying "Japan" in one word, I thought this theme was too big, so I decided on "Oosanbashi" early on.
At that time, I strolled around Yamashita Park and just learned about the new Oosanbashi. The view from Oosanbashi is the greatest, and you can view everything which symbolizes Yokohama. However, I noticed that Yokohama uses many Western words.
Landmark Tower, Bay Bridge, Marine Tower, etc.
Well, that's also a Japanese thing, but anyways, they didn't use katakana or show any names. That's why it was a bit difficult....
I went to Oosanbashi many times, and stayed there for many hours.
I finally completed the lyrics and lovely melody while feeling inspired.
This is actually a short version of Oosanbashi.
It includes numbers 1 and 3, with number 2 edited out.
I hope to release the full version someday.
Also, the video which plays during the gameplay, was actually filmed at Oosanbashi. It was very embarrassing while filming, but I never thought I'd sing this song in Oosanbashi, so it was quite enjoyable.
I was impressed with the completed version, which looked like a promotional video.
I'm grateful to VJ GYO and F-FLY for filming and editing it.

I'm really thankful for your response to my difficult "Japan" theme, just as I imagined. It's very Japan-like. The beautiful song & lyrics are perfect.

Why am I obsessed with Japan? I like "Kokin Wakashu" and songs with lyrics about seasons and scenery (I'm not familiar with them at all), but why not make a modern-styled song for it? And that's how I came up with it.
Instead of a typical love song, I wanted a Japanese song about Japan's unique four seasons and beautiful scenery. Like "staring at the goodness of Japan".

Therefore, by showing Japanese typography in the video, I wanted you to see not just the beauty of Japanese sounds, but also the way it's beautifully written in "hiragana" and "kanji".
Also, I aimed to create this video with a summer atmosphere feeling.

I was personally satisfied by the music and visuals!
By all means, I want to make it again, but what do you think?
Next time, I want more songs about Kyoto written in a waka style.
