身の丈に合わぬ袖に染み入る悲しさの連続
昨日までの自分を思いすぎていく今の今
抱えたその手が
むなしさで震えた
忘れたくても忘れられない過去を思い出と呼ぶなら
案外何も覚えちゃいないあたしは薄情なのか
幼い頃にできた
爪痕が震えた
うなる劣等 いつになっても
消えぬ羨望 ああまた追いかけてる
走り疲れて 花びらは散っていた
さようならと告げてもなお いなくならない残像
目を瞑ると浮かんでくる あの日々に縛られて
ほどけないままの
結び目が疼いた
がなれ いっそ いつになっても
言えぬ感情 ああまた追いかけてる
焦り続けて また春を置いてった
比べるたびに 遠ざかる空の青ささえ
いつかはきっと この手で触れたいと願ってる
明けない夜の向こうで 息をしていたい
うなる劣等 いつになっても
消えぬ羨望 ああまた追いかけてる
走り疲れて 花びらは散っていった
昨日と手を繋いで 明日を置いてった

追いつけないこと、忘れられないこと。それを抱えたまま生きる「ふつう」のための一曲。
身の丈に合わぬ袖、見上げる空の青さ、追いかけても届かない誰か――その羨望と劣等を消すのではなく、かさぶたのように触れながら歩く。「うなる劣等／消えぬ羨望／走り疲れて 花びらは散っていた」――焦り続けて、また春を置いてったあとに残る感情を、澄（Sumi）が静かな旋律で抱えなおす。
「明けない夜の向こうで 息をしていたい」「昨日と手を繋いで 明日を置いてった」。前に進むより、過去を抱えたまま今日を息する人のための歌。痛みをなかったことにせず、ただそこに在らせる強さがここにあります。
Artist Profile
sumi
Sumi is a Japanese singer-songwriter who began releasing music in April 2026. Writing and composing her own work, she consistently explores a single theme: things that pass through impermanence, transience, the quiet movement between states. Her songwriting is built on a simple principle: to reach emotional depth through plain everyday language, precise word choice, and unexpected structure. She avoids elaborate vocabulary or stylistic tricks, writing in words anyone would recognize yet achieving resonance through how those words are arranged. Her work is marked by a distinctive linguistic fingerprint: archaic Japanese expressions and onomatopoeia dissolved into contemporary speech, creating a texture that feels both ancient and immediate. After her debut single "Kaze" (Wind) in April 2026, followed by "petrichor" and "microbit" in the same month, Sumi has adopted a weekly release cadence. A four-song cycle "butterfly," "Bouquet," "maria age" unfolds through May and June, followed by a second chapter of four more releases. Each song stands alone, yet four songs together trace a single narrative arc: a modern reinterpretation of serial storytelling in Japanese pop music. Musically, she moves freely across genres from electronic to acoustic solo guitar to world music but the underlying aesthetic remains constant: a meditation on impermanence and stillness. In deliberate contrast to the verbosity of mainstream J-pop, her work is designed around negative space. Since her first release, her music has begun reaching international listeners, with organic traction through TikTok and other platforms among non-Japanese-speaking audiences. Sumi's music doesn't speak in order to be heard. It leaves space and in that space, something passes through.
