Glass in the Sky

Glass in the Sky is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays the hours until dawn in a high rise hotel, taken on as a solitude she chose for herself.
Countless lights of Tokyo seen from above, soundproof glass shutting out the city, ice sounding small inside a glass, a back in the mirror checking the time, and a key with a heavy plate handed over at the morning desk create a room where, with the noise outside removed, only the sounds within reach her with cold clarity.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that knows he has a home to return to, refuses to blame him for it, and refuses just as firmly to play the tragic heroine.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era urban lyricism through images of a city skyline at night, a hotel room, and a relationship with no name.

The reason she loved him and the will to let him go are both hers alone to carry.
Knowing they return to strangers when morning comes, she is the one who unwinds their joined fingers.
