Inspired by The Pillow Book by Sei Shonagon, a celebrated literary figure of Japan's Heian period,
"Words Upon a Pillow" is a poetic Japanese ballad brought to life with the breathy, graceful vocals of Hatsune Miku.
Blending traditional instruments like koto and shakuhachi with lo-fi ambient textures, the song reflects the hidden emotions, elegant romance, and refined sorrow of court life a thousand years ago.

Sei Shonagon's coded expressions of love, her loyalty to Empress Teishi, and the ephemeral beauty of Heian aesthetics are reimagined through this modern soundscape.
