HIROYUKI ITO, Naoki Okada
9月も終わる土曜
夜の西口は人の多さに反して
まどろんでいるかのように静かだった
9,000キロ先のベルリンでは
50,000人の声が揺れている
3メートル四方のこの貸しスタジオでは
ギターの6弦が重く唸る
10,000キロ先のラバトでは
若者たちの怒声が街角に響く
3メートル四方のこの貸しスタジオでは
4弦が鼻にかかった声を上げる
交換したばかりのニッケルがうねり、共振した
その限りにおいて 夜の空気は澱まない
暗渠の水のように
人知れず私たちの感情は押し流され
存在しなかったものとして処理される
騒音が溢れ出る分厚い防音ドア
大ガードの向こうとこちらを隔てる高い城砦
それでもなお、あるいは、だからこそ

HIROYUKI ITO, Naoki Okada
A minimalist beat drives the track as jazzy textures and post-rock atmospheres take shape. A restrained spoken word cuts through, reporting fragments of the present moment.
Built from a single, unrepeatable improvisation session - guitar and laptop in the studio, reshaped into three dense minutes.
The spoken word is performed in Japanese. The following is an English translation of the lyrics.
A Saturday at the end of September.
The west exit at night - crowded, yet somehow
drowsing in its own silence.
Nine thousand kilometers away, in Berlin,
fifty thousand voices are swaying.
In this three-meter rental studio,
the sixth string groans, heavy.
Ten thousand kilometers away, in Rabat,
the shouts of young people echo at street corners.
In this three-meter rental studio,
the fourth string lifts a nasal cry.
The freshly changed nickel strings ripple and resonate.
To that extent, at least - the night air does not stagnate.
Like water running through a buried culvert,
our emotions are swept away without anyone knowing,
processed as though they never existed.
A thick soundproofed door, overflowing with noise.
A high fortress wall dividing the two sides of the overpass.
Even so - or perhaps because of that.
