On an afternoon that meant nothing much
Just my shoelace coming loose
The world where nothing ever changed
Was quietly breathing on
The alley cat that’s always there
Was gone somewhere that afternoon
The world felt restless for a while
Then acted like it never knew
I always thought when something breaks
There has to be a sound it makes
That’s what I used to believe
That’s what I used to believe
Even though no thunder ever came
Even though the sky stayed just as blue
This nameless ordinary day
Was the day that took away you
If I had only tied my shoes
Would the future have turned out another way?
A butterfly in the afternoon
Just flew right past me on its way
Maybe reasons why the whole world changes
Are just chance and simple things colliding
Even one small moment of hesitation
Now it echoes louder than anything
Somewhere, something’s stirring now
The future where I’m there with you
The future where we never meet
Are comparing answers somewhere too
Even if nobody ever knew
Even if the sky stayed pale and white
There were days when the tomorrow we named
Was the one that made you smile
Even though no thunder ever came
Even though the sky stayed just as blue
This nameless ordinary day
Was the day that took away you
If I had only tied my shoes
Would the future have turned out another way?
A butterfly in the afternoon
Just flew right past me on its way

Artist Profile
kota
kota is a Japanese singer-songwriter whose relationship with music began in junior high school, when his father's influence led him to pick up the guitar for the first time. From that moment, music became an inseparable part of his life, and a quiet dream took root to one day share his own songs with the world. That long-held dream found its form through an unexpected creative partnership. kota writes both the lyrics and melodies himself, building each song from guitar-and-vocal sketches before collaborating with generative AI to shape the final arrangements. Initially skeptical of AI's role in music, he has come to embrace it as a remarkable musical partner one that opened a door he had long hoped to walk through. His catalog draws from original songs once performed with his former band as well as fresh compositions written day by day, released steadily across streaming platforms. With every track, kota carries a simple hope: that his music might bring a small moment of warmth or comfort to someone, somewhere.
