ここがどこなのかどうでもいいことさ なんて
鼻歌を友にして 家に帰る夜を歩く
音もない闇に響く砂利を踏みしめる足音
思い出す子供の頃 夏の墓地の肝試し
オバケなんてないさ そんな歌を一人繰り返し
迷い込んだ森の中 果てしない海の上
一人起きたままの深夜 始発を待つターミナル
次に続く道はいつも歌とともにここにある
誰も知らない曲の再生はいつも脳内
使わないケータイ プレイリスト 無限大
星の巡りに逆らい データをすべて水に捨てて
いま俺はここにいる 君はどこにいる？
いまいるここが俺の現在地
雪にきざんでくあたらしい轍
地図に置かれた音と言葉たち
衛星に手を伸ばしここでハイタッチ
いまいるここが俺の現在地
スタイル決めずつないでく
千載一遇の出会いで like a 金田一
もつれたビートの謎をほどいてく
いまいるここが俺の現在地
8マイル離れた街への旅立ち
キックとスネアとハムのサンドイッチ
別れ際にちいさく Son of a tch
私を探して Google MAPで
鬼さん、こちらにおいで
騒ぎ奉るクラブにサイレン
Wi-Fiの無い所へ連れてって
降り注ぐ愛に耳を傾けるとしばし立ち止まる
想像した通り また深く潜り紙を裂く
毎日毎日繰り返す 枯れまい枯れまいと
また愛に散る愛に散る 迷路に舞い戻る
止まらない止まれないとまがい物と曲がり続ける
全方位に進んでいく図形に目を凝らしてみる
いっそ囚われたままが楽なのだと
停止して思考する この間にも音が鳴りつづける
一体ここはどこなのか
そこかしこに溢れる言葉 泥にまみれてる
一体ここはどこなのか
そこかしこに溢れる言葉
小さい頃から知っている 手を引かれて歩く
わたし
視界がぼやけてる
小さい頃から知っている 手を引かれて歩く
わたしを探して Google MAPで
お兄さん、こちらにおいで
騒ぎ奉るブログやサイレン
Wi-Fiの無い方へ連れてって
私を探して Google MAPで
鬼さん、こちらにおいで
騒ぎ奉るクラブにサイレン
Wi-Fiの無い所で
私を探して Google MAPで
鬼さん、こちらにおいで
騒ぎ奉るクラブにサイレン
Wi-Fiの無い所へ連れてって

GPS (feat. Tanio a.k.a Otani Yoshio & ermhoi)
Shu Akimoto
The 1st EP by drummer Shu Akimoto, a prodigy of the Heisei era and a member of Naruyoshi Kikuchi's "DC/PRG," is a striking debut. This work, featuring Kyotaro Hori (trumpet) and Yuya Fukuda (guitar)-both of whom later joined the band Klehe-and Yoshio Ootani as a guest, earned high praise from Kikuchi himself: "Drummers who truly listen to rhythm ultimately arrive at ambient music, not as a contrarian stance or a form of enlightenment, but because ambient holds an infinite number of rhythms that exist and emerge within it. This is, in a sense, self-evident. However, the only drummer who can express this understanding through actual work-and as the leader of their own project-is currently Shu Akimoto. His taste is impeccable." The EP includes tracks like Oni Gokko feat. Taniou a.k.a. Yoshio Ootani, which layers Akimoto's drumming over Ootani's original writing and narration, and Take Me Somewhere Nice, a three-person reinterpretation of a Mogwai piece Akimoto deeply admires. Additionally, the track GPS feat. Taniou a.k.a. Yoshio Ootani, ermhoi, composed by musician and journalist Naoya Koike, employs complex polyrhythms such as a 7/4 overlay on a 4/4 base. This EP blends the atmospheric sensibilities of ECM, a major influence on Akimoto, with his unique musical style.
