入道雲が オレンジに染まる
赤トンボたちが 飛びかう空
風に少しの 爽やかさを感じた
九月の夕暮れ
落葉樹が 少し色を変えている
鈴虫たちが 奏でる公園
羽の音色に 涼しさを感じた
九月の夕暮れ
寂しくなった砂浜
プールも水着も
そろそろ終わり
秋が近く覗いている
A holiday spot, thinning out as summer nears its close
I longed to savor it once more, yet summer is truly coming to an end
今年の夏に終わりが近づく
熱過ぎた太陽も優しくなり
沈む時間も早くなった
また来年も夏は来る…
The close of summer
なぜこんなに夏の終わりは
寂しい気持ちにさせるんだ
夏祭りに盆踊り
花火大会や夏フェス
夏旅 海水浴
川遊び 高校野球
夏イベントは全て終わった
楽しかった夏休みも
Guess we'll have to wait until next summer
穂を出し始めたススキが
ゆらゆらしている
空は高くなり
うろこ曇が見えてきた
灼熱の夏 青春の夏
思い出の夏 過ぎ行く夏
戻らない夏
A Wistful Blue Summer
パラソルのない砂浜
スイカも氷も
そろそろ終わり
秋が近く覗いている
A holiday spot, thinning out as summer nears its close
I longed to savor it once more, yet summer is truly coming to an end
今年の夏に終わりが近づく
熱過ぎた太陽も優しくなり
沈む時間も早くなった
また来年も夏は来る…
The close of summer
なぜこんなに夏の終わりは
寂しい気持ちにさせるんだ
今年の夏も もう終わるんだ
熱過ぎた思い出たちと共に
この冬を越そうじゃないか
また来年も夏は来るから
The close of summer
なぜこんなに夏の終わりは
寂しい気持ちにさせるんだ
The close of summer
なんで毎年夏の終わりは
切ない気持ちになるのだろう…
The close of summer
The close of summer
Thank you, Summer!

Artist Profile
Chao
I used to play bass in a band, and for a while I was also the vocalist. We mainly performed original rock and punk songs. After the band broke up, I stopped making music for a long time. At the beginning of 2025, I encountered AI music generation while creating a theme song for an event, and that led me to start writing lyrics again. "I still prefer songs and music created by people over those generated by AI. I don't think that will ever change. However, starting a music career requires instruments, equipment, and technical knowledge, which always felt like a huge hurdle for me. With the arrival of generative AI, many of those barriers have been lowered. Of course, new challenges have come with it as well... but even so, I'm excited about the possibilities that this technology offers. That said, if I leave everything to AI, I don't feel any personal attachment to the songs, so I write all the lyrics myself." "As for songwriting, when I'm writing lyrics, I already see the song's imagery and hear the music in my head. That's why, once I finish writing the lyrics, I first create the jacket artwork based on that vision. After that, I use AI to generate the music that had been floating in my mind during the writing process, recreating it over and over again until it matches my image as closely as possible. Then, I fine-tune the details of the arrangement until I'm satisfied, and only then do I release the song." "Since the vocals are not human, sometimes the words come out in a strange or awkward way, and I find myself going, 'Huh? What did it just say?' But honestly, I think that's part of AI's current charm. I'm sure one day it will become flawless... but in a way, I think that might feel a little lonely."
