Lyric

Kiss on the Ashtray is a nostalgic collection of Showa-era jazz ballads and blues, dedicated to women who have loved, lost, laughed, and kept walking through the night.

Beneath the glow of neon lights, they dreamed of love, wiped away their tears, reapplied their lipstick, and greeted countless mornings with quiet strength.

Promises washed away by rain.
Sighs hidden behind red heels.
Wishes whispered beneath harbor lights.
The reflection of a younger self beyond the vanity mirror.

These songs are not about bitterness or regret.

They are love letters to the nights we survived, the scars we carry, and the memories we choose to treasure.

For every woman who has loved deeply and risen again, this album offers a gentle toast

a kiss upon the ashes of yesterday,
and the courage to welcome tomorrow.
