Lyric

Faraway Beach

Takumi Hasegawa

ひとりになって、安心するでしょう

静かな部屋に響く声

荷物まとめて、ここから出るから、

今は何も聞かないで

「私にだって、幸せはあるのよ」

そういう彼女は苛立って

煙草を吸って、煙が窓辺の、

光の中で照らされ

1通りの人生を

試すように染める胸の内側

もう1通りの人生を

探すようになぞる月のクレーター

街灯りを見て、佇む誰かの、

コートの裾がなびいている

埃っぽい空気、すれ違う彼らの、

足音も消える

語られたはずの、言葉や季節は、

割れてしまったガラスのよう

今頃遠く、浜辺寄せる波に、

洗われていたりするのか

1通りの人生を

試すように染める胸の内側

もう1通りの人生を

探すようになぞる月のクレーター

1通りの人生を

試すように染める胸の内側

もう1通りの人生を

探すようになぞる月のクレーター

Artist Profile

  • Takumi Hasegawa

    Takumi Hasegawa is a singer-songwriter born in 1996 in Yokohama, Japan. 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 and indie scenes such as Men I Trust and Los Retros.. 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.
