Lyric

Midsummer Mirage

KOJI KIKUCHI

アスファルト揺らす陽炎

伸びた影を追い越して

自販機の冷えたサイダー

喉の奥で弾けて消えた

変わらない街の景色も

少しだけ違って見えた

あの日より大人になった

僕らを映してるようで

過ぎ去った時間は

戻らないけれど

胸のどこかでまだ

輝いている

真夏の蜃気楼

手を伸ばせば消えそうで

それでも確かに

この胸に残ってる

笑い声も夕立ちも

帰り道の遠回りも

季節が巡るたびに

鮮やかによみがえる

河川敷に吹く風の中

くだらない話ばかり

永遠なんて言葉さえ

本気で信じていたね

失くしたものより

出会えたものを

数えて歩けたら

悪くないさ

真夏の蜃気楼

遠ざかってゆく空へ

置き忘れたはずの

想いが手を振る

茜色に染まる街

ゆっくり灯る街明かり

あの日の僕らはまだ

心の中で生きてる

真夏の蜃気楼

消えそうで消えないまま

いつまでもそっと

胸の奥に揺れてる

何十年先になっても

思い出せる夏がある

それだけで人はまた

前を向いて歩ける

EP "Summer Drive"

Four stories that color the summer, crafted with the landscapes of Hokkaido in mind.

The exhilarating feeling of driving along the coast, the bittersweet emotions that stir in the summer air, the warmth of a loved one, and the strength to keep moving toward tomorrow.

These four tracks, each with its own distinct character, come together to paint a portrait of summer memories.

We hope this record becomes a companion to your own scenery this summer.

Artist Profile

  • KOJI KIKUCHI

    Carve trees and spin songs. Kikuchi Koji is a man who has been passionate about music in his heart while sweating on the field every day as a carpenter. When I was in high school, I participated in a local contest with a band I formed with my friends, and won the best prize and the vocal award. The applause he received on that stage gave him the dream of "living with music". About 15 years ago, they joined an indie label as a duo. He took the first step as a professional, but his activities did not last long and soon disbanded. From there on, the days that I couldn't sing as I wanted continued. Daily work, life, reality. Even so, somewhere in my heart, I couldn't give up. And the year before last. The thoughts that have been suppressed for a long time are on fire again. With courage, I applied for an audition for the current music and entertainment agency. The result is - passed. Back to the stage. To the world of music again. "From the dissolution of the duo to the passing of the audition the year before last, it was really a long time without singing. That's why I'm chewing on the joy of being able to sing in front of everyone like this every day. Solid manual work as a carpenter and straightforward words as a singer-songwriter. Using both of them as a weapon, Kikuchi Koji sings today. From the scene to the stage. The story of sweat and passion has just begun.
