Lyric

Steam Whistle

Takumi Hasegawa

午前0時を回り、

街を横切っていく赤い自動車

ぬるいビールまがいのグリーン缶、

呆れた理屈ばかり

歩道橋で立ち止まり、

人工衛星を見上げれば

古い映画のようなナイトシーン、

隠した手紙のこと

それじゃ、アクション

海岸沿い、

「私、覚えてるわ」と彼女

なびく髪を直しながら

何か言わないと、と考えていた

「汽笛が鳴ってるみたいだね」

換気扇回るワンルーム

ピーススーパーライト軽く吹かし

「くだらないわね、それって。

あなたって、まるで…」

ここでカット

「形のないものだけど」

こちらを見つめ、彼女は言う

夜が青さを深める

「ほんとにね」呟くだけ

それじゃ、アクション

海岸沿い、

「私、覚えてるわ」と彼女

なびく髪を直しながら

何か言わないと、と考えていた

「汽笛が鳴って…」

テイクスリーアクション

海岸沿い、

「私、覚えてるわ」と彼女

なびく髪を直しながら

何か言わないと、と考えていた

「汽笛が鳴ってるみたいだね」

Artist Profile

  • Takumi Hasegawa

    Takumi Hasegawa is a home-recorded singer-songwriter living in Yokohama. After playing in bands and making films (including composing music for plays), he began releasing his home-recorded music on the Internet in 2021. His first publicly released song, [Faraway Beach], was praised by Jordan Rakei, a musician based in South London. The song [Steam Whistle] was released on various subscription services, and was selected for playlists such as [Pluto Selection (Biweekly)] and [JBSGROOVE] WEEKLY". It won the grand prize in the podcast program [radioDTM] in the [New Music Recommendation SP 2022 Summer] project. He arranged and mixed "snow snow" for the latest album [flow] by Fuyu ni Wakarete (trio of Saho Terao, Wataru Iga, and Reizaburo Adachi) released in May 2023, and played guitar and synthesizer on [Minamo no Tenshi]. In July 2023, the first EP [Tides] was released for distribution. This EP is a compilation of songs that have been released on SoundCloud since 2021, plus an unreleased song, [The Long Goodbye], and is a compilation of songs from the beginning of their activities. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered entirely by the artist himself in his bedroom at home. Since November 2023, he began live performances, both as a band and as a duo with bassist Wataru Iga (also known for supporting artists such as Haruomi Hosono and Gen Hoshino). The sound was influenced by South London musicians such as Tom Misch and Arlo Parks, as well as indie bands such as Men I Trust and The Marias. The lyrics are characterized by a dry style and visual style influenced by modern and contemporary American literature such as Raymond Carver, Kurt Vonnegut, Raymond Chandler who is also quoted in the song title (The Long Goodbye), and Haruki Murakami who is well known for his translations of these works.
