Lyric

A Little Longer is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays a couple driving home after dinner in silence, and the closeness that returns to them before the night is over.
The familiar road, shop lights sliding across the window, a cassette starting a song they both know by heart, and the volume rising at the same place it always did create a warm and unhurried scene where an old habit takes the place of conversation.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that does not ask to return to the beginning of love, and chooses instead to stretch out the hours of a night already underway.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era urban lyricism through images of mountain roads at night, the air inside a moving car, and the quiet distance between two people who have been together for years.

She keeps time with her fingertips, and he begins to sing along under his breath.
Nothing is explained and nothing is promised, yet the silence after the last song has become a place where they can both remain.
