Cut di house light
Leave one beam
Smoke inna di room
Mek di laser seen
Nuh chase di dark
Let it stay tonight
暗いからこそ
見えるLight
Dark room, cool breeze, bassline roll
Laser draw a line straight through di smoke
Blue pon di wall, red pon di floor
一瞬だけ浮かぶ誰かの横顔
Shadow pon shadow 重なるSilhouette
見えないところまで無理に見なくていい
Mi nah need daylight, mi nah need sun
一本のBeamだけあればEnough
Black make di gold look brighter
Night make di small light stronger
消したい過去まで消そうとすんな
暗がりごと抱いて今夜は踊んな
Slow step, two step, slide pon di beat
Rhodesが揺らしてBass underneath
見えなかったものが少し見えたら
それだけで今夜は十分だから
Light pon di face
Light pon di hand
Light pon di heart
Now yuh understand
闇があるから
光が見える
Listen――
オン アボキャ ベイロシャノウ
マカボダラ マニ ハンドマ
ジンバラ ハラバリタヤ ウン
Shine inna di dark, shine inna di night
煙を裂いて走ってくLight
Nuh need fi erase every shadow inside
闇ごと照らせばEverything alright
Glow, glow まだ消さないで
Low, low Bass揺らすまで
暗い場所から光を見よう
響け夜通し 光が満ちる
No dark, no beam それじゃ見えない
No shade, no shape 輪郭もない
光だけじゃ眩しすぎて
何がそこにあるのかさえ分からない
So mi keep di night, keep di contrast
Flash一閃 切り取るMoment
Mirror ball turn, laser dem cross
見失ったFaceまた浮かび出す
罪も後悔も全部Black paint
上からWhiteで塗り潰しゃFake
Mi nah cover it up, mi let it remain
その上から光を当てりゃいいだけ
Blue light, green light, move cross di crowd
細い光線 切り裂くDub cloud
Sax一声 DelayでFade
一瞬の明かりが記憶にStay
Light pon di face
Light pon di hand
Light pon di heart
Now yuh understand
光の中で君が見える
オン アボキャ ベイロシャノウ

Shine inna di dark, shine inna di night
煙を裂いて走ってくLight
Nuh need fi erase every shadow inside
闇ごと照らせばEverything alright
Glow, glow まだ消さないで
Low, low Bass揺らすまで
暗い場所から光を見よう
響け夜通し 光が満ちる
Turn di light down low
Mek one beam glow
何も見えない
それでもいい
One flash
One face
One moment
One place
光は闇を
嫌っちゃいない
闇が光を
見せてくれる
オン アボキャ ベイロシャノウ

Shine inna di dark, shine inna di night
Laser run wild through di smoky sky
Nuh need fi erase every shadow inside
闇ごと照らせばEverything alright
Glow, glow フロアの上
Low, low Bassそのままで
見えないものまで照らさなくていい
見える光だけ追えばいい

Entering Eternal Meditation
OOPARTS TRAX
OOPARTS TRAX presents Kukai Jazz Reggae.
What if Kukai returned from Tang China carrying not only Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, but, for some reason, reggae as well?
Kukai Reggae is a 15-track concept album that reimagines Kukai's philosophy, mantras, legends, and spiritual ideas through jazz reggae, dancehall, funk, acid jazz, and jazz hip-hop.
"Attaining Buddhahood in this very body" turns the idea of becoming a Buddha in one's present body into an energetic sermon live show. Tracks such as "Preaching of the Dharmakaya", "Garbhadhatu Mandala", "Diamond Realm Mandala", "The Sutra of the Ultimate Principle", "Ajikan", and "The Ten Stages of Mind" reinterpret esoteric Buddhist thought through contemporary Japanese lyrics, Patois, ragamuffin flows, jazz harmony, basslines, and riddims.
Even Kukai's life-threatening journey to Tang China becomes a carefree voyage in "Envoy to the Tang Dynasty", while "Wonderful Ways" looks back on what he received there with gratitude and a desire to pass it forward.
The album closes with "Entering Eternal Meditation", fading away while Kukai, the world, and the groove seem to keep singing and dancing beyond the recording.
This is not a Buddhist lecture.
It is a sermon you can dance to.
Bass, brass, riddim, jazz, and mantra share the same stage in a musical relic from a timeline that should never have existed.
