Signals for Two

Signals for Two is a mid tempo city pop track that follows a woman who walks out of a bar in the middle of an argument, certain that he will come after her, and decides in that moment to stop being the one who waits.
A glass of ice that blurred the future, a crossing taken half a step slower than needed, a shop window where she looks for a shadow, a cold wire fence along the highway, and a signal turning green.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that can face not only the silence of the one who left, but the part of herself that was waiting to be chased.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era urban lyricism through night crossings, neon on wet pavement, and a name that never gets called.

The signal changes before she can tell whether he called out at all, and her heels ring as she goes down to the platform.
Under the lights below she fastens one button she had done up wrong, closing the night with her own hands.
