[Intro]
Late flight
City in my carry-on
Round trip
But it never felt this long (Mmm)
[Verse 1]
Taxi glass
Wet with cherry neon rain
Lip gloss
Smudged from whispering your name
Crosswalk
Crowd is moving
I stay still
Time zones
But your touch is closer still
[Chorus]
Take me back to Tokyo
To you
Spinning in a small room
Past two
Laughing on the rooftop
Night view
You were my dream
My dream come true
Back to Tokyo
Back to that truth
Every little heartbeat
Brand-new
I close my eyes
I fall right through
Back to Tokyo
Back to you (Oh, back to you)
[Verse 2]
Loose change
Rattling in my midnight coat
Your scarf
Wrapped around my tangled hopes
Train doors
Closing on a promised call
Your voice
Soft enough to break a wall
[Chorus]
Take me back to Tokyo
To you
Spinning in a small room
Past two
Laughing on the rooftop
Night view
You were my dream
My dream come true
Back to Tokyo
Back to that truth
Every little heartbeat
Brand-new
I close my eyes
I fall right through
Back to Tokyo
Back to you (Back to you, back to you)
[Bridge]
How can miles feel paper-thin?
One memory
And I'm back in
That hallway kiss
That jasmine skin (Oh)
If this is just a passing phase
Why does every crowded place
Echo like your name in space?
[Chorus]
Take me back to Tokyo
To you
Spinning in a small room
Past two
Laughing on the rooftop
Night view
You were my dream
My dream come true
Back to Tokyo
Back to that truth
Every little heartbeat
Brand-new
I close my eyes
I fall right through
Back to Tokyo
Back to you (Back to you, back to you)

Back to Tokyo
DJ Shu Mahha
**「Back to Tokyo」**は、東京に残してきた大切な人への想いを描いた、切なくも温かいPop/R&Bバラードです。
今回の女性ヴォーカルは、繊細さと力強さを併せ持つ、幅広い音域が大きな魅力。小鳥のさえずりを思わせる軽やかで柔らかな歌い出しから、物語は静かに始まります。歌声のすぐそばに息継ぎや吐息まで感じられるような親密な表現が、離れてしまった相手への想いをリアルに映し出します。
そして約2分30秒を境に、楽曲は一気にスケールアップ。前半の静けさとは対照的に、幾重にも重なるコーラス、空高く伸びていくようなアドリブ、力強いハーモニーが感情を大きく解き放ち、映画のクライマックスを思わせる高揚感を生み出します。
温かさ、切なさ、力強さを自在に行き来する表現力豊かなヴォーカルが、楽曲の世界をより鮮やかに彩り、聴き終えた後にも忘れられない余韻を残す一曲です。
