The Close of Sumer

Chao

入道雲が オレンジに染まる

赤トンボたちが 飛びかう空

風に少しの 爽やかさを感じた

九月の夕暮れ

落葉樹が 少し色を変えている

鈴虫たちが 奏でる公園

羽の音色に 涼しさを感じた

九月の夕暮れ

寂しくなった砂浜

プールも水着も

そろそろ終わり

秋が近く覗いている

A holiday spot, thinning out as summer nears its close

I longed to savor it once more, yet summer is truly coming to an end

今年の夏に終わりが近づく

熱過ぎた太陽も優しくなり

沈む時間も早くなった

また来年も夏は来る…

The close of summer

なぜこんなに夏の終わりは

寂しい気持ちにさせるんだ

夏祭りに盆踊り

花火大会や夏フェス

夏旅 海水浴

川遊び 高校野球

夏イベントは全て終わった

楽しかった夏休みも

Guess we'll have to wait until next summer

穂を出し始めたススキが

ゆらゆらしている

空は高くなり

うろこ曇が見えてきた

灼熱の夏 青春の夏

思い出の夏 過ぎ行く夏

戻らない夏

A Wistful Blue Summer

パラソルのない砂浜

スイカも氷も

そろそろ終わり

秋が近く覗いている

A holiday spot, thinning out as summer nears its close

I longed to savor it once more, yet summer is truly coming to an end

今年の夏に終わりが近づく

熱過ぎた太陽も優しくなり

沈む時間も早くなった

また来年も夏は来る…

The close of summer

なぜこんなに夏の終わりは

寂しい気持ちにさせるんだ

今年の夏も もう終わるんだ

熱過ぎた思い出たちと共に

この冬を越そうじゃないか

また来年も夏は来るから

The close of summer

なぜこんなに夏の終わりは

寂しい気持ちにさせるんだ

The close of summer

なんで毎年夏の終わりは

切ない気持ちになるのだろう…

The close of summer

The close of summer

Thank you, Summer!

Artist Profile

  • Chao

    I used to play bass in a band, and for a while I was also the vocalist. We mainly performed original rock and punk songs. After the band broke up, I stopped making music for a long time. At the beginning of 2025, I encountered AI music generation while creating a theme song for an event, and that led me to start writing lyrics again. "I still prefer songs and music created by people over those generated by AI. I don't think that will ever change. However, starting a music career requires instruments, equipment, and technical knowledge, which always felt like a huge hurdle for me. With the arrival of generative AI, many of those barriers have been lowered. Of course, new challenges have come with it as well... but even so, I'm excited about the possibilities that this technology offers. That said, if I leave everything to AI, I don't feel any personal attachment to the songs, so I write all the lyrics myself." "As for songwriting, when I'm writing lyrics, I already see the song's imagery and hear the music in my head. That's why, once I finish writing the lyrics, I first create the jacket artwork based on that vision. After that, I use AI to generate the music that had been floating in my mind during the writing process, recreating it over and over again until it matches my image as closely as possible. Then, I fine-tune the details of the arrangement until I'm satisfied, and only then do I release the song." "Since the vocals are not human, sometimes the words come out in a strange or awkward way, and I find myself going, 'Huh? What did it just say?' But honestly, I think that's part of AI's current charm. I'm sure one day it will become flawless... but in a way, I think that might feel a little lonely."
