The tiny plates you set out today
Looked like a map for a party
I came straight home, and the moment I opened the door
A soft scent of expectation spread
But tears started spilling from your eyes
In a small voice, you said, “this isn’t it…”
It wasn’t the Hinamatsuri we imagined
But the care in each little step of prep was there
Beneath the frustration, feelings overflowed
And that, too, was surely part of today
We hurried to line up the treats we had at home
Laughing, “now it is starting to feel like a party!”
As your face slowly came back
Even the paper dolls seemed to smile
You murmur, “it was not a big success,” looking down
But that honesty somehow made me glad
On the table where expectations spilled
Feelings arrived before words
Even if we could not smile right away, we were moving on
On this first small day of spring
A day you chose and acted on your own
And even those tears when it did not go well
Will surely become your strength someday
I felt that, standing right beside you
Next year again, the party you picture
Who knows if it will go well or not
But each time we stack up days like today
Little by little, you will grow stronger

Hinamatsuri Party Map
BAYABAYA
It opens with tiny plates set like a map, and the moment the door swings open a soft scent of expectation fills the room.
Then comes the stumble as the Hinamatsuri does not match the picture we held, and tears fall with the small confession this is not it.
The lyric does not dwell on failure, and instead stays close to the care behind each step and the tender logic of preparation.
We try again, lining up simple treats from home and laughing now it is starting to feel like a party.
As a smile returns bit by bit, even the paper dolls seem to smile back.
It was not a big success you murmur with eyes lowered, and that honesty becomes the most luminous line in the scene.
In the chorus, on the same table where expectations spilled, feelings arrive before words, and we are already moving on in this first small day of spring.
The bridge blesses a day you chose and acted on your own, and even the tears when things did not go well will someday become strength.
The final chorus looks toward next year again, with no promise of perfection, only the promise of stacking days like this one, little by little growing stronger.
That is the true motion of the lyric, a quiet seasonlike shift toward resilience.
A piano led acoustic arrangement holds space for breath and understatement, allowing small emotional hues to register clearly.
Rather than chasing spectacle, it honors the textures of Hinamatsuri, preparation, expectation, honesty, and growth shaped into a gentle spring pop ballad.
Artist Profile
BAYABAYA
Based in Japan, creating instrumental music inspired by everyday life. The themes often come from the changing seasons, the flow of time, and the scenery of cities and nature. The gentle light of a spring morning, the quiet of a summer night, the colors of an autumn street, and the calm of a winter afternoon are translated into sound. Without words, the music leaves space for each listener to create their own story. It may bring back memories of the past, invite a quiet pause in the present, or spark an image of the future. The hope is simply to add a gentle touch of color to everyday life through sound.
