Lyric

On the Night When the Clock Tower Bells Ring

Aquarium and Clematis

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.
