理想とは
こうあるべき こうなりたい
こうなってほしいと
心の中で思い描く
完璧な姿や状態で
現実は
いま目の前に 事実として
存在している
ここにあると感じている
経験していることや状態
綺麗だった心なんて
時間と共に失われて
目の前の過酷な現実で
理想が夢に変わっていく
あまりにも違う
理想と現実
突き付けられる
理想と現実
小さな花ひとつが綺麗で
ここから見る景色が美しく
それだけで十分なのに
花は踏み潰され
山は切り開かれ
見えてた景色も変わっていく
理想を追い求めることが
決して悪いのではない
それが叶わないと知ったとき
どうするかが肝心で
理想と現実
このバランスがカギなんだ
結んだ紐が解けるよう
理想の形も砕けて行く
ひと握りの人たち
理想に届いた人たち
そうした人たちの情報ばかり
流れるこの世の中
「諦めずに頑張れ」
「近付けない理想はない」
それこそが雲の話なんだ
それが出来ない人はどうしたら?
みんながみんなタフじゃない
綺麗だった心なんて
時間と共に失われて
目の前の過酷な現実で
理想が夢に変わっていく
あまりにも違う
理想と現実
突き付けられる
理想と現実
小さな花ひとつが綺麗で
ここから見る景色が美しく
それだけで十分なのに
花は踏み潰され
山は切り開かれ
見えてた景色も変わっていく
理想を追い求めることが
決して悪いのではない
それが叶わないと知ったとき
どうするかが肝心で
理想と現実
このバランスがカギなんだ
違い過ぎる
理想と現実
両立できない
理想と現実
小さな喜びひとつひとつ
積み重なって幸せを感じる
それだけで十分なはず
だけどもっともっとと
物足りなくなってしまい
その幸せを忘れてしまう
理想はいつも高くって
現実はいつだって厳しくて

That sky
Chao
I usually enjoy upbeat, fast-tempo songs and that's the kind of music I create, but this time I wrote lyrics with the theme of a ballad - a slow-tempo, emotional song - and put together a five-track mini album.
Artist Profile
Chao
I used to play bass in a band, and for a while I was also the vocalist. We mainly performed original rock and punk songs. After the band broke up, I stopped making music for a long time. At the beginning of 2025, I encountered AI music generation while creating a theme song for an event, and that led me to start writing lyrics again. "I still prefer songs and music created by people over those generated by AI. I don't think that will ever change. However, starting a music career requires instruments, equipment, and technical knowledge, which always felt like a huge hurdle for me. With the arrival of generative AI, many of those barriers have been lowered. Of course, new challenges have come with it as well... but even so, I'm excited about the possibilities that this technology offers. That said, if I leave everything to AI, I don't feel any personal attachment to the songs, so I write all the lyrics myself." "As for songwriting, when I'm writing lyrics, I already see the song's imagery and hear the music in my head. That's why, once I finish writing the lyrics, I first create the jacket artwork based on that vision. After that, I use AI to generate the music that had been floating in my mind during the writing process, recreating it over and over again until it matches my image as closely as possible. Then, I fine-tune the details of the arrangement until I'm satisfied, and only then do I release the song." "Since the vocals are not human, sometimes the words come out in a strange or awkward way, and I find myself going, 'Huh? What did it just say?' But honestly, I think that's part of AI's current charm. I'm sure one day it will become flawless... but in a way, I think that might feel a little lonely."
