Japanese

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

Romaji

kaze ni fukarete namiutsu mizu no
shio no kaori ni tsutsumareru
sora ni ukabu kumo nagaruru wa
yurarete susumu ka umi no hashi

kaze ni fukarete nagareru kami no
amai kaori ni tsutsumareru
kokoro ukabu toki nagaruru wa
futari hakobu ka Oosanbashi

Long Version

Japanese


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

君が見上げる 空に咲く花
遥か彼方に 消えねども
君が見せる 優美な笑顔
心にいつまでも 残ります

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

Romaji


kaze ni fukarete namiutsu mizu no
shio no kaori ni tsutsumareru
sora ni ukabu kumo nagaruru wa
yurarete susumu ka umi no hashi

kimi ga miageru sora ni saku hana
haruka tooku ni kie ne domo
kimi ga miseru yuubi na egao
kokoro ni itsu made mo nokorimasu

kaze ni fukarete nagareru kami no
amai kaori ni tsutsumareru
kokoro ukabu toki nagaruru wa
futari hakobu ka Oosanbashi

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.
