Lyric

Optics in the Dark ~Anatomy of Truth~ (feat. HIROYUKI)

SHIONO, Twilight Master

摩天楼を濡らす冷たい夜雨（レイン）

ネオンに溶け出す三流の嘘

左足の重心視線の15度

震える指先が真実（こたえ）を歌っている

見えない幽霊（バグ）に怯える街で

誰もがシステムという神に縋る

だが完璧な結び目（ディンプル）はただ一つ揺らさず

安っぽい悲劇を見下ろしている

Welcome to the laboratory, my dear

Optics in the Dark 暗闇の観察眼

隠したつもりの裏切りのプロトコル

すべてを解剖（ひら）いてあげよう

狂騒の夜に沈む前に

仕立ての悪いスーツ染み付いた冷や汗

黄金の熱狂（バブル）が生み出したペテン

脈拍140の闘争逃走反応（ファイト・オア・フライト）

君の細胞すべてが罪を自白（かた）る

魔女の刻（ミッドナイト）を待つ狂ったタクト

虚無を売り捌く哀れな商人たち

冷徹なメスで欺瞞を切り裂いて

この退屈な盤面（ボード）を終わらせよう

Welcome to the laboratory, my dear

Optics in the Dark 暗闇の観察眼

計算し尽くしたはずのシナリオも

僕の前ではただの紙屑（ダスト）

すべてを解剖（ひら）いてあげよう

新たな世紀が明ける前に

影（乱波）が交錯するタイムズスクエア

舞い散る紙吹雪と不意打ちのルージュ

少しばかりの計算外（バグ）は悪くないスパイス

だがこの眼差しは決して曇らない

Welcome to the laboratory, my dear

Optics in the Dark 暗闇の観察眼

ノブレス・オブリージュ気高き冷酷で

アメリカの嘘を暴き出そう

Optics in the Dark

すべてを解剖（ひら）いてあげよう

In a city paralyzed by illusions, a single, elegant gaze dissects the truth.

Step into the shadows with "Optics in the Dark," the official theme song for the stylish neo-noir mystery novel Millennium Optics: The US Profiling of Rintaro Kadowaki by Twilight Master.

New York, 1999. While the masses panic over the Y2K bug and drown in golden fever, one man watches the charade unfold without ever wrinkling his perfectly tailored midnight-blue bespoke suit. Driven by the cool, syncopated rhythms of acid jazz, a walking upright bass, and a haunting muted trumpet, this track embodies the sheer intellect and cold calculation of aristocratic detective Rintaro Kadowaki.

"Welcome to the laboratory, my dear. Let me dissect this charade you keep."

With a clinical blade and absolute Noblesse oblige, he exposes the protocol of treason. Immerse yourself in the ultimate cyber-noir soundtrack and witness the anatomy of a lie.

Twilight Master
Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my Universe!
