Lyric

EXPRESSiON

Chao

自分を出すのが下手で

話すのも苦手

前には出ない

意見を出すのも

そんな場面が

I don't like it very much

(あまり好きじゃない)

友人は多くはないが

自分をわかってる

仲間がいればイイ

言葉は要らない

そんな友と呼べる

I like that kind of thing

(そういうのが好きなんだ)

どちらかと言うと

人見知りなほう

人からはどう

見られているのだろう

口数が少ないから

なかなか理解されないかな

That's lonely thing

(それは寂しいことだ)

だから!

歌うんだ

感じたこと

思ったこと

いまの自分を

その気持ちを

歌にして

好きなよう

自由に

いまの自分を

伝えるんだ

I want to express myself through my songs and convey my feelings to you

(歌を通して自分自身を表現し、気持ちをみんなに伝えたいと思っている)

届けたいんだ

たとえ聴いてくれなくても

分かってくれなくても

歌い続けるだけ

いつか届くと信じて

いまもこれからも

歌い続けるだけ

Right now all I have is singing

(今は歌うことしかできない...)

どちらかと言うと

口下手なほう

人からはよく

言葉が足りないと

言われているから

なかなか理解されてないかな

That's lonely thing

だから!

歌うんだ

感じたこと

思ったこと

いまの自分を

その気持ちを

歌にして

好きなよう

自由に

いまの自分を

伝えるんだ

I want to express myself through my songs and convey my feelings to you

届けたいんだ

素直な気持ち

自分の言葉

隠さずに全てを

この歌に乗せて

I want to express myself through my songs and convey my feelings to you

届けるんだ

Songs have saved my heart so many times

(歌にはこれまでたくさん心を救われてきた)

I want to write songs like that, using my own expression

(そんな歌を自分も自分の表現で作りたいんだ)

Using free expression

(自由な表現を駆使して…)

I love all the songs, and I'm confident that I've made a great album.
Please give it a listen.

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."
