Lyric

Tuning Fork Echo is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays a quiet evening when a woman, hearing through the receiver that a former lover has moved away, strikes an old tuning fork on her desk just once and listens to its tone fade.
An apartment in Shinsen, a tuning fork unearthed from between cloths at the back of the bookshelf, the brief words of a mutual friend, a single note slowly decaying, and the low hum of the refrigerator settling into the room create a hushed scene where she lets the sound finish without striking it again.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that neither calls the past back nor erases it, choosing to hand the sound she made over to memory and stand on the side that will not strike the fork twice.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and urban pop, the track reimagines that era urban lyricism through images of late night desks, music classroom equipment, distant moves of former lovers, and the slender contact between a metal stem and a fingertip.

The motion of a teacher in a second-floor Yamato piano classroom, wrapping a tuning fork in cloth, returns now in her own hands.
On the silent desktop she winds the fork in cloth, returns it to its original place at the back of the bookshelf, and closes the night herself, telling no one that she heard it.
