どれだけ愛されていても
どれだけ満たされていても
欲望にキリはなくて
貪っている
地球があげた悲鳴を
聞こえないふりしたまま
金持ちも貴族も
堕ちていく
行かないで！ 行かないで！
道化師が彷徨う星で
私だけ置いてきぼりなんて
許さないから
魂の声を聴いたら
知らない街に来ていた
数珠をつないだみたいな
人生だった
渡された「モノ」の中には
果たして答えはあるのか？
まだわからないけど
落ちていく
本当は 本当は
地球だって全てホログラム
幻想をただ見ているだけの
人間様
カウントダウンはすでに始まった
震えてる指から愛がこぼれた
目に見えぬ敵は誰？
行かないで！ 行かないで！
どうせきっと運命だから
たとえ星を跨ぐような距離も
ここに来て！ ここに来て！
道化師はもう消えたから
いつまでも待ち続けるわ
どうか迎えに来てね

On the Clown's Star
STORYLINE
STORYLINE's debut track, "On the Clown's Star," is a song written, composed, and arranged by Kikuchi, carrying a strong sense of narrative beneath its sound.
Within the song, the image of the "clown" emerges as a symbol of a world filled with values and illusions, quietly revealing an underlying sense of discomfort hidden behind ideas of wealth and success. It is a song told from the perspective of an observer, capturing the distance between those who move forward and those who are left behind.
Built around a piano-centered arrangement, the sound moves between tension and restrained uplift, giving shape to subtle emotional shifts. Vocalist seimei supports the song's atmosphere with a voice that avoids excess, holding within it a quiet unease and an unspoken question.
"On the Clown's Star" also shares its worldview with Kikuchi's long-form novel Zenpunk: The Land of Imagination, and serves as the starting point of STORYLINE as a project. It marks the first step in an ongoing exploration where music and narrative intersect.
