光る街
横目に赤く
染まる夜を
歩道橋、登り、眺める
顔たちが照らす
空の中で
踊る恋人たち
上の空の人混みで
一際光る
二人は待ち合わせ
最寄りからの歩道橋手前
近づくとそれは危険信号
ルビーの指輪のように
光る貴方と重なる体
貴方に夢中の最中
今か今かとタイミング
狙うのはまるでスナイパー
ダブルタップで送るハート
のように簡単には行かない
これは暗澹？まるでポルターガイスト
Moving on its on, you know I'm
Gravitated like I'm John Mayer
She wants to bring me down like I’m Chapelle but I gotta say it
Nothing more special than the time with you
So I'll hold on to you hands until my end is due
Man its true, so this is a symphony to you
I don’t wanna wait or be in second place, that’s truth, say
光る街
横目に白く
染まる朝を
歩道橋、登り、眺める
光る街
横目に赤く
染まる夜を
歩道橋、登り、眺める
光る街
横目に白く
染まる朝を
歩道橋、登り、眺める
Yeah we tried, reaching for outer space
X on the name like Elon
Can’t forget that gaze
You gave, under the neon
The journey we on
It’s not over until I give it
All I got, you know I’m stuck in the loop
With you, shit, we fly over the hurdles
Over the hills, but we came back to where we started
It’s been a minute since you departed
Been with other guys, but broken hearted, yeah
Think bout you in the morning and at night
Holding you tight when times are not right
Catch a flight to memory lane, years and roads we walked along
Mapped and paved the way but the future ain’t here to stay
So it seemed, currently, but eventually
I feel like you might realize what you really need
I’m up for the last fight before it’s all said and done
Infinite possibilities, but looking for the one, hol up
The booze giving me the thews to pursue you
No use, uncontrollable desire of youth
But I’m too scared to open the box and see the truth
Though I’m seduced, under influence of your perfume
Foreshadowing the regrettable decisions
Waking up tomorrow to a headache and tonight, a mission
Visions of fantasy made true in an accommodation
Momental ecstasy, turned into a frequent visit
She let me get it, when we did it, flew for hours and minutes
Giving it all til we reached it, until the top and repeat it
Playing some Anderson .Paak, ride the groove and then we give it a twist, by free-styling on Malibu
We were honestly best to say the least, we were meant to be but
Striking this, was just my idea now that you are
One that got away, carrying all of my mistakes
I’m moving the fuck on for fucks sake, say…
Yeah, memories that I can’t forget
Memories that I can’t forget
Thinking ‘bout you over and over again
Memories that I can’t forget, huh

Jiggy Beats Jazz Orchestra
E
The Jiggy Beats Jazz Orchestra is a Tokyo-based orchestra that combines the complex flavors of jazz with the groove of hip-hop and the passion that only a large band can bring to a big band that makes audiences sing and dance. After its predecessor band formed in 2018, the current lineup consists of a horn section with unique members who have deep knowledge of big band jazz, a rhythm section active in a variety of genres, and vocalist Ayami, who captivates with his sad yet powerful voice. While pursuing their own unique sound, the group places importance on mixing with other artists to create a new world, and has produced a variety of live performances and songs.
Their new song "Pedestrian Bridge" was inspired by the view from a pedestrian bridge in Shibuya, their base of operations, and is a song about "fruitless love in the city. The song alternates between a song that pays respect to the City Pop of yesteryear and a carefully crafted rap song, incorporating various devices that create a synergistic effect when Bigband x Rap are combined, making it a song that can be enjoyed even after repeated listening.
Kingo, who has been a topic of conversation since his appearance at the FUJIROCK FESTIVAL in 2023, joins the band as a rapper. Because Kingo has been active with the Jiggy Beats Jazz Orchestra for some time, he is able to create a comfortable groove with a big band and a high affinity with the live performance.

Jiggy Beats Jazz Orchestra
The Tokyo-based orchestra is based on the concept of a big band that combines the complex flavors of jazz with the groove of hip-hop and makes the audience "sing and dance" with a passion that only a large band can provide. The current lineup consists of the horn section, whose members have deep knowledge of big band jazz, the rhythm section, each of whom is active in a variety of genres, and Ayami, who sings with a powerful yet sad voice that captivates.

Kingo
Japanese Hip-hop/Soul artist Kingo, crafts his music as the vehicle to explore his diverse life experiences, and desire for personal growth - using his meditative nature as the driving force in his pursuit of self-actualisation. Although he was born in Japan, Kingo spent the majority of his formative years in post-war Cambodia, and the United States - leading to a distinctly international perspective, and a form of expression that is uniquely his own. Kingo marries his personal, intimate lyrics with a razor-sharp flow that is characteristic of his dynamic, exhilarating sound. He illustrates his versatility by seamlessly alternating between English and Japanese - artisan-ally evoking a sense of familiarity in the listener as he invites them into his world. Dropping his guard and opening up, he hopes of reaching those facing life's challenges with his music. Kingo aims to soften the soul - sparking important heart - to - hearts that lead to a shared sense of companionship, mindfulness, and a renewed spirit to persevere through difficult times.
