Lyric

SHIORI

Ayaka Brandy

名はひかり。キラキラ

闇を裂く、龍

音を奏で、心満ちるわ

出会い空、浮遊

天地揺れ。君とさよなら。

誰のための痛みか?

栞しるべ携え

心誓う。「忘れぬ」

何千年、何万年。探し歩み日めくり

足元には花が咲き

手合わせ祈ります

七色にきらめき

幸せが回り出す

叶うよ。切り開き

世界が変わります

閉ざした愛知り、孤独が深くて

寂しさ、波のように、一気に押し寄せ

何もかもわからない。心が痛いよ。

誰にも会えない。雲に隠れ太陽。

散々に思い込んで空回り感情

暗闇に閉ざした心を開錠

乾かした体が潤ってく愛情

簡単に叶って、いいの。我と抱擁

ありがとう。おめでとう。奏でよう。楽しもう。

いらない。しがらみ。手放そう。置いていこう。

花びら、ひらひら、舞い散る人生

死ぬまで活かすよキラキラ天性

名はひかり。キラキラ

闇を裂く、龍

音を奏で、心満ちるわ

出会い空、浮遊

天地揺れ。君とさよなら。

誰のための痛みか?

栞しるべ携え

心誓う。「忘れぬ」

何千年、何万年。探し歩み日めくり

足元には花が咲き

手合わせ祈ります

七色にきらめき

幸せが回り出す

叶うよ。切り開き

世界が変わります

疑い、戸惑い、そんなもんはなくして

子供のように可愛くはしゃいで

ひとつ何かできたら、ほめて手を叩いて

喜び、高鳴る、メロディ奏でて

睡蓮が灯る真っ暗な天海

邪魔なんて入らない、最高な展開

あったかくつくるよ。 2 人の王道。

丁寧に交わすの。お空は桃色

内がなれば外がなるし

外がなれば天高く

為せば成る。為せば成る。

月、満ちる

星、満ちる

我、満ちる

君、満ちる

時、満ちる

愛、満ちる

今、満ちる

今、満ちる

名はひかり。キラキラ

闇を裂く、龍

音を奏で、心満ちるわ

出会い空、浮遊

天地揺れ。君とさよなら。

誰のための痛みか?

栞しるべ携え

心誓う。「忘れぬ」

何千年、何万年。探し歩み日めくり

足元には花が咲き

手合わせ祈ります

七色にきらめき

幸せが回り出す

叶うよ。切り開き

世界が変わります

    SHIORI

    Ayaka Brandy

This work is inspired by Tanabata, a traditional Japanese summer festival rooted in ancient mythology. The song was released on July 7th - the very day Tanabata is celebrated.

During this festival, people write their wishes on small strips of paper called tanzaku (sometimes also referred to as shiori, meaning bookmarks) and hang them on bamboo leaves to send their hopes up to the sky.
This custom is based on the bittersweet legend of Orihime and Hikoboshi, two lovers who are allowed to meet only once a year by crossing the Milky Way.

The song carries a message of hope - that even when we cannot be with someone, we can still find love and happiness within our own hearts.

Ayaka Brandy herself has experienced painful and complex relationships: wanting to see someone she couldn't, being forgotten despite a promise, and struggling with feelings she couldn't let go of - even when she tried.
All of these emotions are reflected in this song.

This piece marks a turning point for her - a new beginning and a step forward.

Artist Profile

  • Ayaka Brandy

    Born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, her father's country. Due to the civil war, she moved to Japan when she was two months old. What is Yamato Nadeshiko as a [Japanese black person]? She has explored the meaning of femininity and has expressed her roots and spiritual world as a painter. In November 2024, she officially debuted as a rapper with her 1st EP - Sapeuse -. A queen who lives bravely and splendidly in a kimono She is deeply proud of her two roots. In its roots in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, there is a group called the Sapeur. They express their opposition to violence through their clothing and advocate a belief in peace. In Japan, another of its roots, a woman with a strong heart is called a Yamato Nadeshiko. I created the EP with the meaning of facing life's difficulties gracefully and without using ni**a, f**k, or D**k, and definitely grasping the light. All artwork and direction are handled by Ayaka Brandy, an artist who also works as a painter. The Democratic Republic of Congo is known as one of the main countries from which enslaved people were taken. HIPHOP is more than just rap-it's a form of expression for the soul. Wearing Japan's traditional kimono, Ayaka expresses pain, joy, sorrow, and anger through her music and art, sharing her message with the world.
