知恵の輪のように絡まって
解き方の分からなくなった糸
無理 矢理にほどこうとしたら
余計に固結びになった
真夜中のセンター街で
占い師にかけられた
覚めない魔法のせいにして
あらゆる通知を消して
月曜朝からエスケープ
不可抗力を呪文にして風を切る
交わした記憶すら無い約束から
今夜僕らは逃避行
流しのタクシーに飛び乗れば
ブルースがファンファーレになる
掛けられた魔法のせいで
見渡す街はずっとマジックアワー
実は魔法にかかってたから
四六時中がラッシュアワー
クローゼットの引き出しの
裏側に貼り付けた
秘密の扉の鍵を
手当り次第挿し込んで
欲望を漁るエスケープ
不可抗力を呪文にして自我を呼ぶ
交わした記憶すら無い約束から
今夜僕らは逃避行
むき出しになるエゴイズムで
鼓動がファンファーレになる
交わした記憶すら無い約束から
今夜僕らは逃避行
流しのタクシーに飛び乗れば
ブルースがファンファーレになる

ESCAPE
ALBATROSS
This five-member band traces its lineage back to CITY POP, AOR, URBAN SOUL, and crosses genres without borders, weaving anthemic music of the 2023 Japanese era.
Their one-of-a-kind sound intertwines the message of frontman Hiroshi Kaifu with the swell of soul and R&B-derived grooves they have cultivated as a live band, inspiring listeners to lean in and talk to each other.
The band was formed in 1998 in Nagoya by high school classmates Kaifu (Vo), Ichimi (Gt), and Kobayashi (Ba).
Later, Ohno (Dr.) and Shimazaki (Key) joined to form the current lineup.
At that time, the band performed more than 100 live shows a year in various parts of Japan.
However, in the late 2000s, Shimazaki, Ichimi, and Ohno left the group.
The band changed members and resumed their activities, but went on hiatus after their last live performance in 2009.
After that, they were inactive for more than 10 years.
March 20, 2022. On March 20, 2022, they resumed their activities with a two-man live concert with G-FREAK FACTORY, which was held after the closing of Nagoya Apollo Base, their home ground at the time. They announced the resumption of their activities.
In July of the same year, they released their first EP "ECHOED" in 12 years.
In September, the band held a successful "The World Is Echoed" live concert.
The year is 2023. After resuming their activities, they announced a new project, "9 Chants," in which they will release 9 newly created songs in a row over a period of 9 months.
