黒と白の盤の上 (On the board of black and white)
手にした駒、どちらの色？ (The piece I hold, which color is right?)
一つ進む、二つ戻る (One step forward, two steps behind)
駆け引きの中で僕ら迷う (In this game, we lose and find)
黒い夜に白い月 (A black night, a white moon above)
静かに照らす愛の軌跡 (Softly lighting love’s quiet groove)
勝ちも負けも、どうでもいい (Win or lose, it fades away)
ただあなたと踊りたい (I just want to dance, come what may)
選ぶたび、変わる景色 (Each choice reshapes the view)
二人だけの物語 (Our story, written by two)
Black and white, shades of us
Love’s a game, in trust we trust
Every move, a chance, a must
Win or lose, it’s love or dust
隅に追いやられた夢 (Dreams cornered on the edge of the game)
でも次の一手で変わる運命 (Yet one move changes destiny’s name)
指先で駒を撫でる (Fingers trace the piece, so slow)
君の笑顔が僕を揺さぶる (Your smile shakes me, makes me glow)
白い朝に黒い影 (A white morning, shadows in black)
答えはまだ、遠くて近い (The answer lingers, both far and intact)
駒を並べて、心を重ねて (Placing the pieces, hearts align)
あなたと歩む、勝敗の先で (Walking with you, beyond win or decline)
Black and white, shades of us
Love’s a game, in trust we trust
Every move, a chance, a must
Win or lose, it’s love or dust

Shades of us
Tokyo Midnight Line
"Shades of Us" is a duet built on the motif of a black-and-white chessboard, capturing the delicate sway of love.
The song paints a night where a man and woman, meeting by chance in the city, slowly close the distance between them as their "shadows and lights" intertwine with a sensual, refined atmosphere.
Each choice stirs the heart, sometimes speaking louder than words.
Even as they read each other's emotions and hesitate, they are drawn together in dramatic, magnetic moments.
The song expresses this quiet yet irresistible push-and-pull of love, wrapped in the sweetness of a midnight mood.
Delivered by the artist Tokyo Midnight Line, "Shades of Us" is a new kind of mature love song,
a track that resonates as if melting into the night skyline.
