Signals for Two

Akemi

未来(あす)を濁した 氷のグラス

飲み干すように 席を立ったの

二年の月日 置いていくよう

冷たい夜風 肌を刺す街

人波へと 紛れ込む私

わざと遅く 歩く交差点(スクランブル)

追いかけてなど 欲しくないのに

ショーウィンドウ 影を探すの

青に変わる 信号(シグナル)見つめて

逃げる人から 心離すわ

振り返るのを もう諦める

明日の行方は 私が決める

夜のネオン 眩しすぎるほど

孤独の輪郭(ライン) 濃く映し出す

国道沿いの 冷たいフェンス

見つめた夜と 同じ匂いね

核心(こたえ)をはぐらかし 微笑むだけの

ぬるい優しさ 手放す夜半よ

私が私を 見失う前に

ヒール鳴らして 地下へと降りる

青に変わる 信号(シグナル)見つめて

逃げる人から 心離すわ

振り返るのを もう諦める

後悔など 置き去りにするわ

歩き出すの 雑踏のなかへ

振り向かずに 帰る指定席(シート)へ

掛け違えてた ボタンひとつを

地下の灯りで 掛け直すだけ

    Signals for Two

    Akemi

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.
Produced by nanayon music.
