Rewind Blue

Akemi

棚の最後のテープを手に取る

ラベルに残るあなたの筆跡

水曜の夜更け部屋の片隅

重いボタンを静かに押し込む

回るテープの低いノイズは

フェンス越しに聴いたラジオのよう

減ってゆく二人の残り時間

終わりと知って私は測るの

満ちる光が不意に途切れて

何もない青い画面に替わる

先月四本で今月一つ

予約の余白が距離を教える

意味がないのに巻き戻しを押す

やはり三十分早く終わるの

終わりの尺を合わせる手間さえ

あなたは静かに手放したのね

もう録らなくていいと告げれば

全てが本当に終わってしまう

だからこの青を見つめたままで

一人でテープの終わりを選ぶ

消える光を静かに見送り

暗闇の部屋で停止を押すの

吐き出すテープの乾いた音で

二人の時間は取り出されてく

ラベルの文字を指先でなぞり

捨てずに私の意志で戻すの

窓の下には夜の246号線(ニーヨンロク)

手放したはずの微熱が痛い

    Rewind Blue

    Akemi

Rewind Blue is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays the end of a relationship once held together by recording timers in place of words, watched alone until the tape cuts to an empty blue screen.
A late Wednesday night in a Shinsen apartment, the last cassette pulled from the shelf, a label written in his handwriting, a recording that ends thirty minutes too early, and the night view of Route 246 below the window create a quiet scene where the slow decline in scheduled recordings settles into a final loss of care.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that senses the end of a relationship but refuses to say the words that would seal it, choosing instead to return the tape to the shelf without throwing it away and without playing it again.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era urban lyricism through images of late night rooms, silent promises, and the cool weight of an absence that refuses to be named.

Tracing the letters on the label with a fingertip before placing the tape back on the shelf is the smallest of gestures.
Neither to discard nor to hold on, it is a choice made by her own will to stop replaying, the quiet outline of a private farewell.
Produced by nanayon music.
