ハンカガイの隅のほこらで
ずるい願いを祈ってる
神様はそっちにはいないよ
そんなの頼らずに慰め合おう
太陽から逃げ出してこれでもう半年間で
お金が尽き出して爪を立てている
身の丈に合わぬ宝石をつけて
道端に立って人の目を引いている
ずぶぬれになって同情を引こうとしても
思わず笑みがこぼれバレている
そんな君
ナイーブな僕の
うかつな思いを持っていかないで
残されたうつろな空間でヘドを吐いている
ハンカガイの隅のほこらで
違った方向に祈ってる
神様は聞いてくれないよ
そんなの頼らずに暖め合おう
彼氏のフリをした守銭奴たちに取り憑かれ
金色の氷水に身を浮かべている
裸を売っちゃえばお終いだとつぶやいて
魂を売り飛ばして平然としてる
ボロボロになって同情を引こうとしても
思わず牙が見えてバレている
そんな君
最後はいつも
僕がいると思わないで
お金は置いていくけど僕は逃げてるよ
ハンカガイの隅のほこらで
妙な姿で祈ってる
神様なんていないんだよ
そんなの頼らずに慰め合おう
ハンカガイの隅のほこらで
ケナゲな瞳で祈ってる
神様なんていないんだよ
そんなの頼らずに慰め合おう
ハンカガイの隅のほこらで
ケナゲな瞳で祈ってる
神様なんていないんだよ
そんなの頼らずに慰め合おう

A prayer in a back alley (feat. aoi)
toshi
A loveless world is a deeply introspective album that explores the inner life of a man living in the modern city.
It does not depict a world without love, but rather a world where love fails to reach. People touch, yet never truly understand each other. Words are exchanged, yet meanings remain distant. Anonymous hostility, emotional disconnection, discomfort with ones own body, and an unspoken loneliness these elements quietly accumulate beneath everyday life.
Yet this album is not merely a portrait of despair. It is, at its core, a study of human resilience. Even within imperfection, people continue to live, to feel, and to search. It is not that love does not exist it is that we do not quite know how to express or receive it. In that struggle, humanity appears fragile, awkward, and yet profoundly sincere.
Set against a backdrop of technology-driven sound, the album contrasts cold, mechanical textures with deeply human emotions. What emerges is a subtle warmth within a seemingly indifferent world.
This tension between isolation and persistence is the essence of A loveless world.
Artist Profile
toshi
Born in Aichi Prefecture, raised in the Kansai region, currently residing in Minato Ward, Tokyo. After many years working in human resources, I have published over 20 books in the field. I write regular columns for newspapers, magazines, and web media. Now, seeking a career change, I have begun writing lyrics. With the exception of the lyrics, everything is created by AI, allowing me to produce music entirely on my own. Drawing on my extensive experience in HR and the many careers and life stories I have witnessed, I hope to create songs that explore the mysteries of life, profound struggles, universal anxieties and sorrows, and the question of what it truly means to be happy. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
