散々使った身体を引きずり
階段登って辿り着く
毎回気付けば今日の境界午後10時半
テレビの中身はどこもおなじみ
「今日の天気は昨日より雨降り」
明日の天気は良くなればいいのにな
頭上に重くのしかかる雨雲が
未来を塞いでいるようで
漠然とした不安抱えた午後10時半
あの日々には帰れないことくらい
本当は誰もが気付いているよ
音信不通になってるあの人は元気かな
生きていかなきゃな
生きていかなきゃな
生きていかなきゃな
息が詰まりそうでも
生きていかなきゃな
生きていかなきゃな
たとえ現在を上手く生きていけなくても
そんなことばかりさ…考えてしまうのは…
こんな夜更けに再度くたびれてしまいそうさ
どうかこんなリポートが早く終わりを迎え
空を風を季節を感じられる日が来ますように
生きていかなきゃな
生きていかなきゃな
生きていかなきゃな
息が詰まりそうでも
生きていかなきゃな
生きていかなきゃな
たとえ今は現在を上手く生きれなくても
散々使った身体を引きずり
階段登って辿り着く
毎回気付けば今日の境界午後10時半
テレビの中身はどこもおなじみ
「今日の天気は昨日より雨降り」
明日の天気は良くなればいいのにな
そんなことばかりさ…考えてしまうのは…
こんな夜更けに再度くたびれてしまいそうさ
どんな救いの歌も場違いにするような
空を風を季節を
覆い隠すような雲が
今日もこの街を雨に濡らす

"A melody that illuminates the darkness of the heart-
a sound that unlocks the soul and leads you back to yourself."
later., the long-awaited album by sonic poet Akinobu Nishihara, unfolds as a luminous journey through flickering shadows and fleeting light.
Here, shimmering textures and lyrical depth converge across twelve tracks-including newly reimagined versions of beloved songs "Weather Report"and "Daybreak", as well as the haunting new piece "Monochrome."
With melodies as fragile as glass and sharp as truth, this album captures a world suspended between solitude and hope.
The deluxe pre-release edition, presented as an experiential artwork transcending conventional music, sold out immediately.
More than an album-later. is an encounter. One that lingers, long after the music fades.
