昔悪さばかりしていた
あの友人も
今じゃ三児のパパになり
子供のためだと
セッセと働いている
昔は私利私欲に走ってた
あの先輩も
今じゃ会社の部長となり
社員のためだと
コツコツ働いている
それはそれで良いと思う
むしろそれが正しいのかも
人は変わっていくものだから
そういう生き物だから
I know it can't be helped
(仕方のないことなのは分かっている)
昔は真面目で勤勉だった
あの優等生が
今じゃ競馬 競輪 ボート
賭けのためだと
適当に働いている
それはそれで良いと思う
それが正しいとは言えないが
人は楽しさに弱いものだから
そういう性なのだから
I know it can't be helped
ただ寂しくなるのは何故だろう
頭で分かっても
変わった姿を見てしまうと
そんな気持ちになる自分がいる
外見がどうとかじゃなくて
中身が変わっていたことに
とても寂しさを感じてしまうんだ
こればかりは仕方のないことなのに
I shouldn't have hoped "maybe"
(「もしかしたら」なんて期待しなきゃよかった)
あの夢なんかを語り合った
キラキラした瞳は何処へ?
俺はオレだから変わらないと
イキイキしていた表情は?
無理難題押し付けられても
ヒョウヒョウと遣って退けた君は?
Where have the people I looked up to gone?
(憧れていた人たちは何処へ行ってしまったのだろう?)
The people I chased after are nowhere to be foumd
(追いかけていた人たちは何処にも居ない)
長い月日が経った
自分が知らない時間を
それぞれ歩んで来た
連絡も取らなかった
会わずにいた時間が
こんなにも君を変えるなんて
Has too much time passed?
(時間が経ち過ぎたのだろうか?)
Where has the person you were back then gone?
(あの頃の君は何処へ行ってしまったのか?)
ただ寂しくなるのは何故だろう
頭で分かっていても
変わった姿を見てしまうと
そんな気持ちになる自分がいる
外見がどうとかじゃなくて
中身が変わっていたことに
とても寂しさを感じてしまうんだ
こればかりは仕方のないことなのに
I shouldn't have hoped "maybe"
You might think I'm the same, or forever young, or something like that
(俺のことを変わらないな、いつまでも若いな、とかそんなふうに思っているかもだけど…)
Please realize that's not the case
(そうじゃないことに気付いてくれ)
You're the one who's changed so much
(変わり過ぎたんだよ、君自身がさ)
But when you met yourself, you rmembered, didn't you?
(でも俺に会って思い出したんじゃないか?)
Those passionate feelings, those powerful emotions!
(あの熱かった気持ち、勢いのあった感情を!)
The flow of time is cruel
The flow of time is sad
The flow of time is hateful
Please stop the flow of time
(時間の流れは残酷だ…
時間の流れは悲しい…
時間の流れが憎い…
時間の流れを止めてくれ…)

The album contains 12 tracks.
It includes all unreleased songs, including renewed versions of songs I wrote previously!
The title is "EXPRESSION", and the lyrics express who I am now.
I love all the songs, and I'm confident that I've made a great album.
Please give it a listen.
Incidentally, I chose the release date, July 25th, because that's my birthday :)
Artist Profile
Chao
He played bass in a certain band and was also the vocalist for a time. He performed original songs such as rock and punk. After the band disbanded, he took a long break from music. In early 2025, he met "Suno AI" while writing a theme song for a certain event, and began writing lyrics. "I also prefer songs and music created by humans to generative AI. This won't change in the future. However, to start a musical career, you need to have all the equipment and knowledge, which was too high a hurdle until now. But with the advent of generative AI, many of those problems can now be solved. Well, there are many new problems... but I still have high hopes for the potential of generative AI. However, if I leave everything to a robot, I don't feel any attachment to the song as my own, so I write my lyrics entirely by myself. When I'm writing lyrics, the image and music of the song come to mind. So after I finish writing the lyrics, I create a jacket picture based on that image. Then, I rewrite the song and the lyrics over and over again with Suno to get the image of the song I'm writing the lyrics for, and release the song that is closest to that." "After all, since singers are not human, sometimes they sing using words that make you go, "What? What?", but I think that's what makes generative AI so cute. I'm sure it will become perfect in the future... but that would be sad."
