三茶の台所 やかんが鳴って
湯たんぽの口に 湯気を落とす
栓をきつく締め 布にくるめば
今夜の足元 ひとつ温い
黒い電話は 鳴らないままで
「忙しいんだ」の 声が短い
週末ごとに 間が遠くなる
それでも問わず 湯を抱えてる
胸に抱いた熱 夜更けは温く
眠るあいだに 少しずつ冷める
気づけば足が 縁を辿って
ぬるい境目 そっと撫でてる
朝の布団で 持ち上げてみれば
金属の肌が 鉄の冷たさ
昨夜の湯はもう 温度をなくし
栓をゆるめて 流してしまう
国道沿いの 夜のトラック
近づくほど 低く窓を打つ
だから声の冷えも 先に気づく
訊かずに足元 自分で温める
やかんをもう一度 火にかけ直す
新しい湯気で 口を満たして
温もりはいつも 一晩限り
それでも今夜の 足は温い
「最近どうしたの」 飲み込んだまま
栓をきつく締めて 布にくるむ
誰も待たない 冬の足元
ひとり分の 幕間(インターミッション)

Intermission of the Warmer
Akemi
Intermission of the Warmer is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays a winter night in which a woman senses the quiet cooling of a lover and, instead of asking why, warms her own feet by herself.
A kettle whistling in a Sangenjaya kitchen, steam poured into the mouth of a hot water bottle, a cap screwed tight, a black telephone that stays silent, and in the morning a metal shell gone iron cold create a quiet winter scene where the warmth of a single night has already slipped away.
Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that notices the falling temperature yet refuses to cling by asking what is wrong, choosing instead to accept the change and heat the water again with her own hands.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era urban lyricism through images of winter nights, late telephone calls, and the temperature that drifts between two people.
In the morning she loosens the cap, lets the cold water drain away, and sets the kettle back on the flame.
Swallowing the words that would ask what has changed, she warms the cold winter floor for one person only, for the length of a single intermission.

Artist Profile
Akemi
A music project that reimagines the melancholic mood and nighttime glow of late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese City Pop and New Music through AI-assisted production and human direction. Akemi is a fictional singer with a backstory of being from Yamato City, Kanagawa, Japan. She sings of urban solitude, grown-up love, and bittersweet afterglow in a noir-tinged city pop sound. Lyrics, composition, vocals, and visuals are created using generative tools and curated through editing. This is an experimental project exploring the human warmth and nostalgia that can emerge from AI.
