Bolero of the Throw

Akemi

夜のレーンに 渋谷の灯り

指を三つの 穴に入れる

助走の音が 床に響く

あなたは後ろで スコアを見ない

大和の踏切 遮断機の音

下りたら二度と 上がるの待たず

小田急に乗って 街を出た日

戻せない事なら もう知っている

手を離す時 もう呼び戻せない

ボールがレーンを 転がってゆく

好きとは言わず この一投を

息を止めたまま 奥を見てる

レーンの奥で ピンが待っている

当たるか溝へ 逸れてゆくか

転がる先は もう指先を

離れて奥へ 委ねるだけ

言葉にすれば 軽くなる意思を

指の重みに 全部乗せる

好きの二文字は 投げる方を選ぶ

届くかどうかは 見てからでいい

返るボールを また持つ時

さっきの一投 もう戻らない

倒れたピンの 数は見ずに

次の構えに 肩を戻す

「好き」とは今夜も 言葉にしない

指を三つの 穴に入れる

投げる形に 全てを乗せて

レーンの奥に 立つ十本

    Bolero of the Throw

    Akemi

Bolero of the Throw is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays a night when a confession is placed not into words but into a single throw that can never be called back.

A bowling alley in Shibuya after dark, three fingers sliding into the holes, footsteps echoing along the floor, a ball rolling down the lane toward ten waiting pins. The images create a quiet, cinematic scene where the instant a hand lets go becomes a will that stays unspoken.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the composure of an adult who refuses the words that would make everything certain, loading her whole meaning onto one irreversible motion of the body, an emotion that shows rather than asks.

Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era warm lyricism through the amber lights of a bowling alley, a town where the crossing gate comes down, and the single irreversible roll of a ball along the lane.

Her fingers leave the holes, her hand lets go, and the ball rolls toward the far end of the lane. Without counting the fallen pins, she sets her shoulder for the next stance, trusting the throw with what she will not say and leaving the outcome to him.
