Once Upon Us

THE SHAMISEN SPAKS

We were young, and the world felt wide

Two souls burning under neon skies

The city lights knew our names

But time moved fast, we couldn’t stay the same

あの日の笑顔は 今も胸の奥

消せないまま ただ風に揺れてる

むかし、むかし、 two hearts collide

We swore forever — but forever lied

Even if the dream has died

Your voice still echoes deep inside

You said “someday” with trembling eyes

We both knew it was our last goodbye

I walked away, pretending I was fine

But love still bleeds between the lines

もう戻れないことはわかってる

でも君がいた日々は

きっと今もどこかで息をしてる

むかし、むかし、 we lost the fight

But I still see you in the fading light

Even if we never reunite

That story’s ours — it still shines bright

むかし、むかし、

君と僕の時間が

世界のどこかで

今もそっと、続いている。

    THE SHAMISEN SPAKS

The shamisen is a storytelling technique, an art of fighting with words.
THE SHAMISEN SPARKS is a project that carves ideas and emotions that resonate with the world with the sparks of eloquence.
A fire is lit at the intersection of the impulse of punk, the power of AI, and the magic of words.
