Lyric

Two are Pairs

Chao

The beginning and the end

Don't forget, these two are pairs

悲しまないよう

苦しまないよう

心の準備はしておこう！

Get yourself mentally prepared!

For myself

始まりには

いつも期待に胸膨らませ 楽しいことを考えてる

気持ちは高ぶり 良いことばかり思うんだ

始まるときは

終わりが来ることなんて 大抵は考えていない

Even though it's progressing

気付かないもんなんだ

形あるものが崩れるように

機械仕掛けが壊れるように

人の気持ちが変化するように

それも時間と共に

It will surely come someday

始まりがあるもの じきに終わりが来る

それは当然のことで 当たり前にやって来る

突然終わるのか しばらく終わらないのか

それは分からないが 必ずその時が来る

The beginning and the end

Don't forget, these two are pairs

慌てないよう

焦らないよう

心の準備はしておこう！

Get yourself mentally prepared!

For myself

楽しみにしていた映画 待ちに待った旅行

突然始まる恋 いつも期待に満ちている

新しいことや物

初めての経験に場所 沸く気持ちと共に

Even though it's progressing

気付かないもんなんだ

形あるものが崩れるように

機械仕掛けが壊れるように

人の気持ちが変化するように

それも時間と共に

It will surely come someday

始まりがあるもの じきに終わりが来る

それは当然のことで 当たり前にやって来る

突然終わるのか しばらく終わらないのか

それは分からないが 必ずその時が来る

The beginning and the end

Don't forget, these two are pairs

悲しまないよう

苦しまないよう

心の準備はしておこう！

Get yourself mentally prepared!

For myself

あの…

好きな場所だって 好きな物にだって

朽ちる時が来るんだ

そう…

愛する人にだって 愛しいペットにも

終わる時が来る

始まりと終わり

出発と到着

発端と結末

出会いと別れ

誕生と死去

光と影

始まりがあるもの じきに終わりが来る

それは当然のことで 当たり前にやって来る

突然終わるのか しばらく終わらないのか

それは分からないが 必ずその時が来る

The beginning and the end

Don't forget, these two are pairs

慌てないよう

焦らないよう

心の準備はしておこう！

The beginning and the end

Don't forget, these two are pairs

悲しまないよう

苦しまないよう

心の準備はしておこう！

Get yourself mentally prepared!

Artist Profile

  • Chao

    I used to play bass in a band, and for a while I was also the vocalist. We mainly performed original rock and punk songs. After the band broke up, I stopped making music for a long time. At the beginning of 2025, I encountered AI music generation while creating a theme song for an event, and that led me to start writing lyrics again. "I still prefer songs and music created by people over those generated by AI. I don't think that will ever change. However, starting a music career requires instruments, equipment, and technical knowledge, which always felt like a huge hurdle for me. With the arrival of generative AI, many of those barriers have been lowered. Of course, new challenges have come with it as well... but even so, I'm excited about the possibilities that this technology offers. That said, if I leave everything to AI, I don't feel any personal attachment to the songs, so I write all the lyrics myself." "As for songwriting, when I'm writing lyrics, I already see the song's imagery and hear the music in my head. That's why, once I finish writing the lyrics, I first create the jacket artwork based on that vision. After that, I use AI to generate the music that had been floating in my mind during the writing process, recreating it over and over again until it matches my image as closely as possible. Then, I fine-tune the details of the arrangement until I'm satisfied, and only then do I release the song." "Since the vocals are not human, sometimes the words come out in a strange or awkward way, and I find myself going, 'Huh? What did it just say?' But honestly, I think that's part of AI's current charm. I'm sure one day it will become flawless... but in a way, I think that might feel a little lonely."
