何が憂鬱なのかって判っていたって
変わる事もできない灰色に染まった暗い雨降る街
愛おしい人々が見せる優しさに
うんざりしてしまう最低な感情に抱かれて
さよなら
色付いていたかけがえのない日々
帰れない
全てがもうモノクロームに
いつの日かの約束はもう忘れてくれ
あり得ないと思ってた残念な選択を許して欲しい
貴方方に従って生きていたって
願いの一つさえも叶えられないような気がして
さよなら
積み重ねてきたかけがえのない日々
ビルから飛び降りた後のようにバラバラに
もうモノクロームに
さよなら
色付いていたかけがえのない日々
帰れない
全てがもうモノクロームに
さよなら さよなら
さよなら さよなら
さよなら さよなら
さよなら
ごめんな

"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.
