揺れるように淡く煌めいた
月の光が街を照らす
巡る季節俯く僕だけが
動き出せないままで
<♪>
誰もいない夜の道眺め
一人で夜明けを待った
交差点の光る信号機が
迷う心を急かす
崩れて消えた当たり前にあった日々は
欠けた月の向こう側で
明日を待つのだろう
夜明け前に沈みゆくあの月と
昇る朝陽が地平線照らす
明けゆくこの瞬間をまた
満ち足りて迎えられるように
<♪>
零れて落ちた涙はいつの日かそっと
これからの僕を創る道になってゆくだろう
夜明け前に沈みゆくあの月と
昇る朝陽が全て照らし出す
明けた朝の向こう側がずっと
輝いた日々であるように

Artist Profile
Koutaro Egami
Kotaro Egami He primarily plays acoustic and electric guitar. He picked up a guitar at the age of 13 and grew up immersed in various kinds of music. Strongly influenced by rock bands and singer-songwriters from the 1980s onward, he immersed himself in music from various angles, including covering songs, singing and playing, and uploading cover videos to YouTube. For many years, he longed to be in a band but couldn't make the progress he wanted, so he chose to create music alone. He tried composing with his first MTR (multi-track recorder), but gave up for the common reason that he couldn't come up with lyrics or melodies, and gradually drifted away from the guitar. However, even after becoming a working adult, he couldn't shake his longing for music and picked up the guitar again. He reconstructed the songs he couldn't complete in his teens using DTM (Desktop Music), and his memorable first song, "Before the Dawn," was completed. It was released digitally in June 2026. His songs reflect the struggles he faced in his teens with interpersonal relationships, and the changing worries and experiences he has as he has grown into adulthood. They continue to create songs that resonate with teenagers and their peers who share similar feelings.
