はじめの一歩を踏み出す勇気は
僕には無いとそう思っていた
だんだん歳をとって
ありがちでつまんない
大人になると思い込んでいたけど
何か違うかもって気づいた時には
何か変わるチャンスかも
この歌歌えば 追い風吹いてくる
その風に乗って走り出そう
ああ、新しい日々に 何気ない日常に
ありがとうと思うだけで
There’s no place we can’t reach
There is a happy surprise
That’s why we’re keeping on music
It’s the only fortress left for us
ああ、新しい日々に 何気ない日常に
ありがとうと思うだけで
There’s no place we can’t reach
Could live without it, but somehow you want it
There’s no place we can’t reach
Music keeps us alive, everybody, gonna groovin
1, 2, 3!
Music keeps us alive…
この歌歌えば 追い風吹いてくる
その風に乗って走り出そう
ああ、新しい日々に 何気ない日常に
ありがとうと思うだけで

Listen to Music Keeps Us Alive by ITADAKI
Streaming / Download
In a world where smartphones and AI grant our wishes like magic, we still find ourselves bound by the messy reality of being human.
We get hungry. We oversleep. We stumble in our eagerness, chase after dreams with regret, and feel the heavy ache of waiting for someone we love. These beautifully imperfect, uniquely human experiences are the heartbeat of our album, picnic.
The album opens with "Hum," an introspective neo-soul track that voices a firm resolve for life, followed by "P.U.G.," a 2-step groove that dances away the blunders of everyday life. It then moves through the quiet-yet-intense drama of "Seasoning," and culminates in an explosive love for music in "Music Keeps Us Alive."
Let's go on a picnic! We've packed your bento.
