Kaleidoscope Margin

Akemi

秋の午後 神泉の部屋の片隅で

棚の奥 真鍮の万華鏡(カレイド)を見つけた

明治通りの 古道具屋(アンティーク)の帰りに

カラカラと 鳴らして笑った横顔

冷たい筒を 静かに片目で覗く

光にかざし 色を読むあなたの癖

もう追わないと決めたのに レンズを回す

青と琥珀が 崩れては形を変える

回すたびに 模様は形を変える

同じ配置には、もう二度と戻らない

止めればすべて そこで固定されるから

あの日の痛みは無いまま 筒を回す

西日の差す窓辺へ 筒を向ける

抜け出した光が 壁に色を散らす

あなたが作る ステンドグラスと同じ

閉じ込めたはずの記憶(かけら)が 部屋に漏れる

思い出すのは 鶴間の揺れる水面

破片のままでも生きられると 教えた手

海を渡るあなたには ついて行かないと

私が自分で選び取った 秋の午後

光から外せば 壁の色も消えるの

でも瞼の裏には 青と琥珀の残像

まだ微かな熱を持って 焼きついている

綺麗に片付かない 私の心のように

万華鏡(カレイド)を 棚の奥の指定席(シート)へ戻す

声に出さず 「きれいだね」とそっと呟く

あの時に言いそびれた言葉を しまって

コトリと鳴った音が 暮れる部屋に溶けた

    Kaleidoscope Margin

    Akemi

Kaleidoscope Margin is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays an autumn afternoon spent revisiting a memory through a brass kaleidoscope found at the back of a closet, half a year after a quiet parting.
An apartment in Shinsen, the cold weight of a brass tube, fragments of blue and amber glass shifting with each turn, and light spilling through the cylinder onto a bare wall create a still and luminous scene where the colors of memory keep changing even when the facts do not.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that chose not to follow someone across the sea, yet still finds the residue of that closeness leaking into the room whenever light passes through what was left behind.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era intimate lyricism through images of interior light, glass fragments, and the quiet weight of words never spoken aloud.

She holds the kaleidoscope to the window and watches color scatter across the wall, the same way his stained glass once broke sunlight into pieces.
Then she returns it to its place on the shelf, not discarded, not displayed, carrying the afterimage of blue and amber behind closed eyes.

Produced by nanayon music.
