繰り返し繰り返す
歩幅で森のなかをゆく。
まだ消えぬ憧れに
指先も触れていないのに。
傍らで鳥が鳴く、
「その先に何があるのか」と。
声を無くした獣は
今でも答えを求めている。
虚ろな瞳で
見渡した今日を、
誰かが嘲笑った。
その声はなぜか、
聞き覚えのある鋭い温度で、
胸の真ん中に突き刺さる。
La La La …
苛立ちを忘れたくて、
たおやかな森へと進む。
木漏れ日の届かぬ地で
聞こえたのは、懐かしい唄。
「例えば、
無数の営みにとって
意味を為さずとも、
唯一人にだけ道を示せたら、
その唄はきっと、
産まれてきたことを
祝福されるだろう。」
指先が何か求めていた。
繰り返しは徐々に揺らいでいた。
立ち上がる獣はいつしか
暗闇の彼方を見ていた。
どこからか聞こえる唄が
標となって導くだろう。
鳴り響くほうへ手を伸ばす。
唇に誰かが触れる。
その手が触れる。
La La La …

Who Sings in the Dark
108pierrots
108pierrots, a solo project by Tokyo-based singer-songwriter "Soke from 256 Dimensions", releases a song highly acclaimed for their live performances.
The lyrical melodies and lyrics, which have their roots in Japanese folk songs, are connected with spacey sounds that evoke vast landscapes influenced by Icelandic post-rock and indie pop such as Sigur Rós and Ásgeir and others, with beats full of dynamism of stillness and movement.
The multi-layered chorus is a characteristic of 108pierrots, and in this song, the singing style of Japanese boat songs intersects with Asian ethnic obbligato.
The cover artwork, which is highly compatible with the lyrics of the song, featured the howling of a beast, a distant unreachable moon, and sunlight that can be perceived as either a morning glow or an evening glow, depending on the viewer's judgment, is also created by "Soka from 256 Dimensions" himself.
Artist Profile
108pierrots
108pierrots is the solo project of Japanese singer-songwriter "Soka from 256 Dimensions". His songwriting is sometimes ethnic and sometimes melancholic, influenced by J-Pop, and the songs are enveloped in a spacey sound reminiscent of Sigur Ros, Kyte, Mew, Keane, and others. Longing for the countryside surrounded by nature and a complex with the sophisticated city spins suburban pop music with glimpses of nostalgia. He also has a strong commitment to expressing his own spirituality, not only writing and arranging musics and lyrics, but also mixing, mastering, creating impressive jacket artwork using watercolors and paper cutouts, and producing videos independently.
