風がほどいたリボンを

追いかけて走る午後

名前もない気持ちが

空の隅で揺れていた

昨日までの私を

ガラス瓶に閉じ込めて

窓辺で踊る光を

ぼんやり眺めていた

羽根のない鳥みたいに

空ばかり見上げながら

行き先も決めないまま

風に名前をつけた

きっと世界は

思うより広くて

泣きそうな色も

未来へ続いてる

ねえ

飛べなくたっていいよ

落ちながら覚えるから

ねえ

間違った昨日も

私の色になっていく

笑って

泣いて

滲んだ景色のまま

それでも

明日の空へ

机の奥に隠した

虹色標本のページ

綺麗なものばかりじゃ

なかったこと知ってる

消えそうな憧れも

少しだけ苦い恋も

全部連れていくから

もう隠したりしない

遠回りでも

ここまで来れたから

不揃いな羽根も

私らしく光る

ねえ

飛べなくたっていいよ

風向きは変わるから

ねえ

迷った足跡も

明日へ続いているから

笑って

泣いて

滲んだ景色のまま

それでも

明日の空へ

青や黄色や赤や透明

混ざり合って私になる

失くしたものも

拾った夢も

全部抱きしめて

ねえ

飛べなくたっていいよ

落ちながら覚えるから

ねえ

間違った昨日も

私の色になっていく

笑って

泣いて

滲んだ世界のまま

それでも

私は行くよ

まだ見ぬ空へ

風がほどいたリボンを

今度は手放してみる

小さな羽音ひとつ

未来へ溶けていった

The Thing I Left Behind Was Summer.

Summer always seems to end before we even realize it.

The stone steps leading to a shrine, the lively morning glory market, the sound of wind chimes, a river glowing at sunset, lanterns at the summer festival, fireworks lighting up the night sky, and a single earbud left behind on the walk home.

These ten songs are a collection of small memories, carefully gathered from the quiet moments that make a summer unforgettable.

The joyful days, the bittersweet ones, the laughter we shared, and the feelings we never found the words to express-all of them continue to drift quietly through time. Yet somewhere deep inside us, the breeze, the scent, and the sounds of those days never truly disappear.

"The Thing I Left Behind Was Summer." is not an album about searching for something that was lost.

It is an album about remembering what we unknowingly left behind as we grew older.

May the sound of your own unforgettable summer continue to echo gently in your heart, long after the music has faded.

Artist Profile

  • Yuu

    Yuu is a singer songwriter who began her journey performing on the streets. With acoustic guitar at the core of her sound, she portrays everyday scenes and the quiet distance between herself and society through honest lyrics that never exaggerate emotion. Her music avoids loud statements and fixed conclusions, focusing instead on discomfort that belongs to no one in particular and on the act of continuing to think while living. Rather than expressing anger or presenting answers, Yuu writes songs about pausing, questioning, and choosing again. Keeping the intimacy of her street performances, her voice gently blends into the daily lives of listeners. For Yuu, music is not a tool to prove what is right, but a voice that allows her to live each day by her own will.
