ぬけがらの海
暗がりで消えた僕のライター
おぼつかない足下にそっと
見えなくていい
嘘でも明かりを灯していたい
僕が何かを思っていたり
僕が何かに迷っていたりすることも
きっと生きることさ
"無駄じゃないこと"は無いけれど
枯れた浜辺の砂で描くのさ
消えた水のような深い青
繋がりを、そうだ!
破り捨てよう
このまま僕は
飛び立つ空の向こう側に
消えたはずのOCEANs
夢の中 会えないよきっと
二度とは巡り会えない星のもとにいる!
ぬけがらの海
暗がりで消えた僕のライター
おぼつかない足下にそっと
見えなくていい
嘘でも明かりを灯していたいよ

He still remembers my error
Jacob Tanaka
He is also the vocalist, guitarist, main songwriter, and composer of the four-piece rock band "Landlord," which has received praise from many artists and music fans. He is a singer-songwriter, Yakob Tanaka, who has been releasing solo works in a DIY style. This album, his fourth full-length album in total, is an amazing two-disc set: Side A, which was produced with the help of guests and his old engineer Akihiro Iizuka on some songs, and Side B, which was composed entirely with his own performance and recording.
Although the songs on this album vary in time, ranging from the most recent songs to those created during the band's college days, the songwriting and multi-layered arrangements remain consistent, and a sense of pessimism pervades the entire album, resulting in a collection of timeless and exceptionally boring pop songs. The songs are deeper and more melancholic than ever, focusing not only on the traditional guitar-oriented elements, but also on the flowing piano and profound chorus work, gently but powerfully embracing the loneliness and emptiness of everyday life.
Now and Then is a lonely pop maestro who spins universally good melodies with exciting chord progressions in a total of 20 songs.
