Twelve Songs from Lantern Town: The First Market Morning Front Cover

Lyric

Nails and Starlight

Nocturne Echo

傾いた看板　閉まらない窓

ポケットの釘を　ひとつ選ぶ

星屑みたいな　古いネジまで

彼女の手には　役目がある

何度も失敗し　打ち直した跡

それでも木は　ちゃんと応える

壊れたものにも　星は残る

釘を一本　打つたびに

座りやすい椅子も　開く窓も

明日を少し　支えていく

まっすぐじゃない　傷の跡にも

次の役目が　待っているから

壊れたものにも　星は残る

釘を一本　打つたびに

誰かの明日が　少し楽なら

今日の手の傷も　光っていく

    Nocturne Echo

    Lyric

A Japanese female vocal fantasy folk-pop album following twelve small lives in Lantern Town. From a market street before dawn to a lantern-lit square at night, each song tells of a sweeper, lantern maker, mapmaker, baker, river porter, apprentice builder, inn cook, repairer, messenger, bookshop owner, square guide and gatekeeper. These gentle stories celebrate the unseen work and quiet care that make an ordinary day possible.
