街はまだ静かに息をして
まるで僕らを見守る
そんな夜に取り残されてた
ため息をついて白く残った
着飾れない言葉がずっと
胸の奥に詰まっていた
今もまだ降り続く
時計台の鐘が鳴る夜に
悪戯に願ったのは
あと少しだけなんて効きもしない
魔法のように鳴り響く
今もなお降り続く
時計台の鐘が鳴る夜に
もう一度願ったのは
この時が止まれなんて効きもしない
呪文のように鳴り響く
降り積もれば
消えていくような
気がしたから
鳴り止めば
戻れるような
気がしたから
巻き戻せば
擦り切れるような
気がしたから
手を離せば
嘘をつくような
気がしたから
舞い上がれ

Aquarium and Clematis
The idol group "Aquarium and Clematis" ("Suisou to Clematis"), which takes life, live, and journey as its three axes, is releasing its 5th EP "Lilas" ("Rira-ra") simultaneously on subscription services and as a physical edition.
For each EP, Aquarium and Clematis has collaborated with different artists to produce the music. On Lilas, the original tracks were written by Yuya Chugenji, bassist of the Sapporo shoegaze band Burst Blue. The EP features four songs in total: a cover of Burst Blue's "Martens ice cream" by Aquarium and Clematis, along with a "Sapporo Trilogy" inspired by the city of Sapporo-"Shitakke Shime-Parfait," "On the Night When the Clock Tower Bells Ring," and "Boys and Girls, be Ambitious!!"
The lilac, designated as the city tree of Sapporo, is associated with the flower language of friendship and memories. Depending on its color, lilacs also symbolize various meanings that strongly evoke youth. Memories being woven into youth, the blend of everyday life with moments of the extraordinary, youth marked by love and farewells, and youth celebrated with innocent joy-all of these are contained within it.
In Japanese, the lilac is also called "Rira (Lilas)." True to that name, this EP is the youth of Sapporo. And it is the youth embodied by these girls.
