蝉の声が遠くなって
夕暮れが夜に溶けていく
ぬるい風に揺れる浴衣
君の横顔だけ覚えてる
ラムネの泡が消えるように
言えなかったことも消えて
夜空へ投げた小さな願い
まだ胸の奥で光ってる
赤く咲いて 橙（だいだい）にほどけて
変わっていく空を見てた
Just for a moment
永遠みたいだった
Burning through the colors
Falling into the night
We were only sparks together
Dancing in the light
Red to gold, then fading blue
Every color leads to you
If this summer has to end
Let the afterglow remain
帰り道の影が伸びて
あの日より少し長くなる
同じ場所で見上げた空は
なぜか違って見えていた
緑の匂い 秋の気配
風の温度が変わっていく
終わることなんて知らないふりで
最後の花火を待っていた
黄色く燃えて 白くほどけて
季節まで染めていく
Don't let me go
まだ消えないで
Changing with the seasons
Falling through the sky
Every shade we left behind us
Turns to something bright
Green to gold, then into white
We were learning how to say goodbye
Even if the summer fades
I can see you in the afterglow—
花火が消えた空に
何もなかったように星がある
僕らだけが知っている
あの一瞬の色
春も 夏も 秋も 冬も
あの夜の中で燃えていた！
When the colors disappear
And the silence fills the sky
I will carry every moment
That was burning in your eyes
Summer turns to autumn
Autumn turns to snow
All the colors that we once were
Still remain below
We were never meant to last
We were never meant to stay
But for one night, we were endless
Before the light gave way
And the final spark is falling
Like a memory I know
Even when the night is over
You will be my afterglow
花火の煙が消えて
少し冷たい風が吹いた
夏が終わったことだけ
なぜか、まだ言えなかった

Afterglow
ichi
This time, we're bringing you an upbeat J-Pop Rock track inspired by the bittersweet feeling of summer coming to an end.
The sound captures fleeting memories of summer nights: distant cicadas, fading sunsets, yukata, ramune, warm evening air, and fireworks disappearing into the night sky.
The verses tell the story through Japanese lyrics, while the choruses open up into fully English vocals. Natural, native-like English pronunciation blends with energetic rock instrumentation, creating a unique meeting point between Japanese J-Pop and Western pop sensibilities.
As the colors of the sky change from red to gold, then slowly fade into blue, so does the summer we once shared.
But even when the season ends, some memories never truly disappear.
They remain as an afterglow.
A song about one unforgettable summer night, the beauty of fleeting moments, and the light that stays with us long after the fireworks are gone.
When summer fades, let the afterglow remain.
