The asphalt breathes a heavy sigh
Under the weight of a lattice sky
Faces blurred in the rushing crowd
Voices lost echoing too loud
You step inside the silver spine
Leaving the dust and the noise behind
The doors slide shut a final seal
Between the dream and the cold hard steel
A gentle jolt a silent lift
A world below begins to shift
The skyscrapers shrink to tiny sparks
As we pierce through the shadows and the dark
Ten thousand meters the air grows thin
But a new fire burns beneath my skin
No more anchors no more chains
Only the light in my pulsing veins
The atmosphere is burning gold
Stories of the earth twice told
I'm shedding the skin of who I was
Rising above the static buzz
Oxygen flows the pressure is right
I'm bracing myself for the speed of light
Ascending through the velvet night
Chasing the ghosts of electric light
Gravity's fading I'm finally free
Into the vast infinity
Higher higher the horizon glows
Where the future begins and the starlight flows
In this upward journey I find my soul
The universe is making me whole
The blue marble hangs in the black
A sapphire jewel with no turning back
I see the borders fade away
Into the dawn of a cosmic day
No wars in the valley below
Just the rhythm of the stars in tow
I'll carry the light that I've sought
As more than a dream or a fleeting thought
Silence is a symphony here
Far from the doubt and far from the fear
Every floor is a century past
Every mile is a spell that's cast
Station is waiting in the silent void
Between the planets and the asteroid
Ascending through the velvet night
Chasing the ghosts of electric light
Gravity's fading I'm finally free
Into the vast infinity
Higher higher the horizon glows
Where the future begins and the starlight flows
I find my soul
The universe is making me whole
Walking in the arms of the stars
Leaving the wounds and the old world scars
Floating
The elevator stops but the journey starts
Hikari reaching for the heart

Song Introduction: Vertical Horizon
With the breath of the asphalt at its back, the silver spine (elevator) pierces the heavens. Waiting beyond the shedding of gravity is the eternal silence whispered by the stars.
A silver cage quietly begins its ascent, leaving the bustling city far below. This track is a dramatic spectacle number that overlays the process of ascending tens of thousands of meters into the sky with a journey of personal "transformation" and "rebirth." Skyscrapers shrinking below, the atmosphere burning gold, and the blue Earth with its vanishing boundaries-woven by SUNO AI, the floating ambient textures and powerful electronic sounds that seem to accelerate toward the abyss of space carry the listener away to an unprecedented "Vertical Horizon."
The greatest highlight is the crystal-clear "transparent whisper voice" that feels as though it is dissolving into the infinite universe. In a place where even gravity can no longer reach, there is a profound conviction as old scars are shed and the soul becomes one with the cosmos. The breathy vocals depict the "true freedom" found within a symphony of silence with overwhelming realism.
"Even if the elevator stops, the true journey begins here."
Leaving the past self behind, one begins to walk, embraced by the arms of the stars. Fear and doubt-everything vanishes beyond the stratosphere. Rather than looking down at the ground, the artist's prayer of listening to the heartbeat of the universe makes this a supreme track that liberates lonely souls into the magnificent cosmos.
Artist Profile
HIKARI
HIKARI Artist Profile [Tagline] "A next-generation sound architect who transcends the boundaries of AI, etching 'breath' and 'passion' into the digital realm." [Artist Statement] HIKARI is an artist/producer who eliminates "randomness" in AI music generation, physically controlling emotions through precise prompt engineering. By establishing a unique vocal pronunciation control system called "HIKARI Style ID," they intentionally imbue AI's overly fluent singing voices with human imperfections such as "trembles," "sighs," and a "sense of distance." The sound moves freely between silence (a whisper at 0m) and frenzy (reverberation at 100m), providing an overwhelming sense of immersion that feels as if it is touching the listener's eardrums directly. [Musicality & Style] Cinematic Emotional Pop: A sound characterized by extreme dynamics and visual spatial design. Technical Uniqueness: Song construction in "multi-movement form" using syllable-level spelling control and physical reset structures for BPM and instrumentation. Treating AI not merely as a tool, but as an "instrument" tuned to the extreme. Hybrid Roots: While pursuing digital purity, the core hides the "passion" unique to Enka as a secret ingredient, aiming for a fusion of East and West, technology and emotion. Major Releases: "Stay Where You Are" "Diamond Dust Prayer" "Nazca Lines" "Utenai Mama" "Kowareru Kurai ni"
