竜宮城の夢

Time slips through my hands

浦島太郎が助けた亀

恩返しという名の罠

竜宮城の美しい幻

時間の流れを忘れさせる

Princess dancing in the palace hall

Never knowing time would take it all

玉手箱の中の真実

開けてしまった後悔

三年のつもりが三百年

故郷はもう存在しない

浦島太郎よ

What did you find

竜宮城で

Peace of mind

玉手箱を開けて

Faced the cost

すべてを失って

Everything lost

美しい夢から目覚めたら

現実は残酷すぎる

Time don't wait for no one's dream

Nothing's ever what it seems

乙姫様の優しい嘘

永遠なんてありはしない

白い髭と皺だらけの手

鏡の中の老いた自分

浦島太郎よ

What did you find

竜宮城で

Peace of mind

玉手箱を開けて

Faced the cost

すべてを失って

Everything lost

海の底の甘い誘惑

Temptation pulls us from the path

時を止めたい願いが

Leads to inevitable wrath

浦島太郎よ

What did you find

竜宮城で

Peace of mind

玉手箱を開けて

Faced the cost

すべてを失って

Everything lost

海は今日も

Keeps its secrets

Crimson Tales is a conceptual album that reimagines classic Japanese folktales and fairy tales through contemporary hip-hop production. Familiar stories like Momotaro, Urashima Taro, and Issun-boshi are brought to life through an innovative fusion of traditional Japanese instruments including shakuhachi flute, koto, and taiko drums with orchestral hip-hop elements. Each track reinterprets these timeless narratives from a modern perspective, showcasing diverse musical expressions ranging from aggressive beats to melancholic melodies. The ten musical chapters create a sonic journey where ancient Japanese heritage meets urban contemporary sensibilities, offering listeners an immersive experience that bridges the gap between tradition and innovation.
