“On the roads of Doto, where memories sleep”
We drove beneath the eastern skies Through Akan and Kushiro’s sighs
“Michi-no-Eki Akan Tancho no Sato” Held a stillness we couldn’t deny
Enaga danced in twilight rain By the wetlands of the crane
While Momon hummed a lonely tune As dusk embraced a drifting moon
Iouzan whispered tales of fire Teshikaga steam and ancient choir
At “Michi-no-Eki Mashu Onsen” time stood still Grief and joy began to spill
Guma laughed by Lake Mashu’s shore Too clear to hide, too deep to ignore
Shaccho hugged a birch tree tight At “Michi-no-Eki Urahoro” lost in time
From “Michi-no-Eki Shiranuka Koitoi” to “Akan Kohan”
We chased the songs that mountains hum
Enaga Guma Momon Shaccho, too
All part of this journey we never outgrew
Doto cries with voices past Roadside echoes that forever last
We’re just travelers chasing light On Hokkaido roads deep in the night
Natsuzora no furusato Otofuke Gurutto Panorama Bihoro Touge
They know our pain, they sing it back With every stop, we fade to black
“Michi-no-Eki Ashoro Ginga Hall 21”
Told us not to run, but to remember the sun
Shaccho placed a flower by the sign A small goodbye to frozen time
From “Michi-no-Eki Teshikaga” to Aioi
Through hills and fog, we said goodbye
Enaga Guma Momon Shaccho, We are threads in this roadside tapestry
Doto holds our laughter, tears, and grace
Forever etched in each roadside place
Roads don’t end, they become who we are
Hokkaido holds us, wherever we are … …

Artist Profile
Mio Shiraho
Mio Shiraho is an artist whose work unfolds around the idea of a five-minute film. Each song weaves its own story and scene, leaving an afterglow in the listeners heart, as if they have just finished watching a film. Writing and composing every song herself, she captures not only the sounds of nature, such as rain and wind, but also silent landscapes, light and snow, and even unseen emotions, translating them all into sound. Moving freely between Japanese and English, she continues to create emotional music that resonates across borders and generations. Genre-defying, her music unfolds as the Music Youll Want to Feel series, painting worlds that are at once nostalgic and new, familiar yet found nowhere else. It casts landscapes upon the listeners heart and stirs the soul. This is Mio's music.
