何もなくても 街はきらめく
赤と緑のあいだで 小さくなってた
いつもの顔して どこかで 会えるだけで
プレゼントならいらない もしも叶うなら
くつ下の中 覗き込むのは
扉を開くために わからなかったよ
いつもの顔して どこかで 会えるだけで
欲しいものは 終わりのない 長い長い夜

Ekimae
Summer Eye
"Mitsume's Moto Kawabe and Summer Eye, the solo project of Tomoyuki Natsume (formerly of Siamese Cats), will release a Christmas-themed split single on December 10. KawabeSs ""Silent Night"" layers minimal drum programming with gently swaying guitar and synth textures, allowing his intimate vocal delivery to illuminate the quiet and faint glow of winter nights. The sparse arrangement highlights subtle moments of solitude and small, lingering warmth-Kawabe's signature, understated sound.
In contrast, Summer Eye's ""Ekimae""(means ""in front of the station"") unfolds with light, warm-toned beats and soft synths, capturing fleeting sensations on a late-December street corner and the unspoken feelings that hover between two people. His voice begins in a whisper-like closeness before opening up in the refrain, naturally evoking the bustle and small comforts of a winter city evening.
Though both tracks embrace minimal arrangements, each artist's distinct sensibility stands out vividly, sealing into one record a winter tale where stillness meets warmth, and solitude meets hope. A split release carrying just the right emotional temperature for the holiday season. Available as a limited 7-inch vinyl and on digital platforms simultaneously."
