Lyric

Swinging Star

Dr.Chika

小さな星の中で why

起こる小さなことに cry

流れる時間に耳も傾けない

ずっと同じ場所で待ってる

Swinging Star

You and I wish 憧れの星へ向かう旅に出よう

Walking over bridge 道の途中ですりむくことがあっても

On our way there 迷うことも遠回りもしよう

For our dreams 楽しいことを目印に歩いていこう

僕らのミッション

大きな宇宙の中で why

争う小さなことで cry

暗闇に浮かぶハイウェイの先にある

星型の夢の舞台は

Swinging Star

You and I wish 憧れの星へ向かう旅に出よう

How long will it take うまくいかない時が長く感じても

Walking over bridge 道の途中で何か失っても

For our dreams 信じるものを目印に歩いていこう

You and I wish 憧れの星へ向かう旅に出よう

Walking over bridge 道の途中ですりむくことがあっても

On our way there 迷うことも遠回りもしよう

A wonderful time この瞬間を忘れないように

僕らの星へ

僕らの夢へ

[Introduction of included songs]
(1)"Time Stream"(Dance pop music)
Music of memories to be remembered, also reminds me of distorted way of thinking in the past.
They come up and disappear over time again and again.
(2)"No Way Home"(J-pop music)
Places that we took for granted have become old over time.
Times change, everything changes, we even find everything is gone.
Sometimes I feel like I'm still there.
There's lots of things to remember.
(3)"Swinging Star"(Electric pop music)
You and I wish going on a journey towards the star of our dreams
Even if I slip up on the way,walking over bridge
On our way there, it's ok to get lost and take a detour
Don't forget this moment,a wonderful time
(4)"Spaceship of Solitude"(Pop rock music)
Old woman says "It's nice to have bread and coffee once in a while. Various things happen on life when you live for a long time."
Looking at the cloudy sky, her refracted mind passes through repeatedly with the same feeling as she felt long ago.
(5)"Blue Sky"(J-pop music)
When I stand on earth beneath the sky,I feel thankful I'm alive.
If you open your heart, you can go a little further. There's still hope for going on.
(6)"Picture Diary"(J-pop music)
While looking at the tick tock by the clock which have continued to go on until today,I see the he summer evening sky of this year.
A cicada is singing in the distance.I keep listening and it disappears in a week.
(7)"Wonderland In A Dream"(J-pop music)
A wonderland in a dream, it's a rainbow-colored world
heading for a white future where he's a cat yawning
While a dark world in the darkness, it's a swirling world
heading for a black future where a fearful snake awaits

[Introduction of Timescape]
"Landscape" in English means scenery, but there is also a word "Timescape". As we look at the scenery, sometime we give it a thought about the time passing.
Perspectives and feelings about times are the common theme of this album.
There are various timelines for each song:the past, the present ,and the future.
And not only about the time, but also the space varies from song to song:the earth, the outer space, a dream world, and places of memories, etc.
In terms of arrangement, there is quite a variety:electronic pop, dance pop, acoustic pop, and rock.exploring different kind of music from the past works (songs included in the previous album "Lemonade").
It feels like times are changing every moment. This album will give you an opportunity to stop and look at times as if you were looking at landscapes.
Seven songs that Dr.Chika has continued to work on over the past 15 years since she started producing music are included in this album. Please enjoy a journey through times with selected melody and arrangements.
