Lyric

taking the long way

kota

遠ざかる景色、

やけに眩しい午後の中

思い出が体をよぎって

君のぬくもり探してしまう

遠回りした道の途中で、

初めて君の手を取った時のこと

ふれあうことで、少しわかる気がして

繋いでいたその手を、離せなかった

二人でいれる、ほんのわずかな時間

大切にしていた何よりも

近づいた未来、

やけに寂しい夕暮れ時

思い出が体をよぎって

君の声だと間違えてしまう

遠回りした道の途中で、

初めて君の手を取った時のこと

ふれあうことで、僕がかわる気がして

繋いでいたその手が、誇らしかった

二人で過ごす、ただの何気なさにも

幸せを感じていた誰よりも

遠い約束、結局守れなかった

今も君の幸せを、思ってはいるよ

温もりだけが、今も残っているから

もう少しの間は、寂しいかな

Artist Profile

  • kota

    kota is a Japanese singer-songwriter whose relationship with music began in junior high school, when his father's influence led him to pick up the guitar for the first time. From that moment, music became an inseparable part of his life, and a quiet dream took root to one day share his own songs with the world. That long-held dream found its form through an unexpected creative partnership. kota writes both the lyrics and melodies himself, building each song from guitar-and-vocal sketches before collaborating with generative AI to shape the final arrangements. Initially skeptical of AI's role in music, he has come to embrace it as a remarkable musical partner one that opened a door he had long hoped to walk through. His catalog draws from original songs once performed with his former band as well as fresh compositions written day by day, released steadily across streaming platforms. With every track, kota carries a simple hope: that his music might bring a small moment of warmth or comfort to someone, somewhere.
