海を眺めていた
手首の傷痕の残った両の手で
砂を持ち上げる
「これが私の人生」だと
その柔らかな手から
星屑のようにこぼれ落ちた
君は笑ってた
静かに目を細めて
少しさみしそうに笑ってた
海を愛していた
愛し方を探していた瞳は
僕を見上げている
「その人生を守りたい」と
君の手からこぼれる光
両手を広げて受け止めた
君は笑ってた
静かに目を細めて
少し嬉しそうに笑ってた
ただそばにいてほしい
ただそれだけのことを
いつも遠回りして
ただそばにいるとわかってるのに
いつも迷ってた
美しい世界を見せたくて
そのままでいいよと
長い髪が風と遊んでる
砂浜の足跡が消えて
いつの間にかそれは気づいていて
僕は笑ってた
必死に目を広げて
少し悲しいふりで笑ってた
ただ同じ痛み背負えば
ただそれだけの距離が
いつも近づくと思ってた
ただそばにいることしかできないのに
また胸にやさしく
風が吹き抜ける
僕も前に進まなくちゃ
今日は天気がいい
海を眺めに行こう
両手を広げて空を受け止めて

Along the Tracks I Walked
Shiroharu
After turning down the opportunity to make his major label debut, Mitsuru stepped away from music for nearly thirteen years.
During that time, he worked as an occupational therapist in hospitals and hospice care, supporting people through deeply personal chapters of their lives. Now, having returned to music, he has captured the path he has traveled in a single album.
From songs written in his youth to works created after resuming his musical journey, each track has been newly recorded with the voice and perspective he carries today.
The years spent pursuing a dream. The time spent standing still. Farewells to those he held dear. And the courage to begin walking again.
This is not an album created simply to look back on the past. It embraces every step of the journey and carries it forward into the future.
Artist Profile
Shiroharu
Shiroharu is an IP artist unit formed by Mitsuru and Hikari. Centered on music and storytelling, Shiroharu transforms the stories of individuals, organizations, and businesses into artistic expressions through music, literature, and multimedia projects. The duo was formed on August 31, 2024, through the audio platform stand.fm. Within just one month of launching their activities, they reached No.1 on the platform's Music Ranking, gaining attention for their unique fusion of music and literary expression. Their creative philosophy is rooted in two themes: standing beside those who are suffering, and encouraging those who dare to pursue their dreams. Through songs, essays, stories, and other creative works, they seek to inspire hope, courage, and human connection. Mitsuru spent many years working in hospice care, accompanying countless individuals through the final stages of life. Drawing from these experiences, he creates stories and lyrics that explore life, loss, and hope. After a career in healthcare and welfare services, he chose an independent path dedicated to artistic expression through music and words. Hikari is a singer-songwriter and screenwriter whose vocals bring depth and emotion to Shiroharu's works. Her voice combines clarity and strength, breathing life into the stories they create. Prior to forming Shiroharu, both Mitsuru and Hikari had already established careers in music and literature. Their achievements include the PHP Award, the Bungei Shicho Essay Award, the Ozaki Hosai Award, and a Bronze Award in the Music Video & Vocalist category at the Houston International Film Festival. Together, they have created more than 100 original songs and have collaborated with producers from major Japanese record labels, as well as musicians who support nationally recognized artists and idol groups. Since 2025, Shiroharu has developed its own creative branding methodology, Sound Story Branding, which transforms personal and corporate narratives into music, films, written works, and other forms of artistic expression designed to create long-term value. On January 7, 2026, Mitsuru and Hikari founded HalScene Inc. Today, Shiroharu serves as the creative and philosophical core of the company, continuing to explore new possibilities at the intersection of music, storytelling, and human experience.
