KOUKAI

Ryder

(Yeah,listen)

(This is my message for you.)

できるなら君の元にすぐに行きたいけど無理

If I could, I’d come to you right away

But I know that’s not possible

会いに行くよ この海を超えて

I’ll cross this ocean just to see you

絡めた小指

With our pinkies linked

この声は郵便 届いてるはず 願うフリ

My voice feels like a letter

It should’ve reached you by now

I’m just pretending to wish

パッシング5回 何回繰り返した? 君と出会うまでは

How many times did I flash my lights five times before we finally met?

よく聞いとけ 二度は言わないから

Listen up—

I won’t say it twice

愛してる 心から

I love you from the bottom of my heart

きみが必要なんだ

I need you

いらない言葉は だってもう僕も大人さ

No words needed

’Cause I’m grown now

責任はとる これから

I’ll take full responsibility

言わせてくれ 俺から

Let me be the one to say it

言語より深い気持ちは言葉にできない

Some feelings are deeper than language

君の名前の由来 ここらじゃあまり見ない

Even your name’s meaning is rare around here

だって知らない 君の文化とか友達

I don’t even know your culture or your friends yet

もう昔の物差しになった考えは用無し

Old ways of thinking don’t matter anymore

だから俺たちらしい言葉で会話

So let’s speak in a language that’s just ours

今日もおつ!

“Otsu”

またrock したよ performance

Rocked another performance

君のおかげかも結局

Probably thanks to you, honestly

実際の距離 心よりずっと遠い

The physical distance between us is way farther than just emotional

(You know exactly who I’m talking to.)

(It’s you. Yes, you haha)

24 君が脳内

You’re in my head 24/7

何が起きても問題ない

Whatever happens, I’m good

だから俺 ない後悔

So I’ve got no regrets

君の元まで行こうか?

Should I come to you?

24 君が脳内

You’re in my head 24/7

何が起きても問題ない

Whatever happens, I’m good

だから俺 ない後悔

So I’ve got no regrets

君の元まで航海

I’m setting sail to get to you

    KOUKAI

    Ryder

Ryder - KOUKAI (prod. waytoolost)

A heartfelt Drill love song, ''KOUKAI'' captures the longing to reach someone far away--across oceans, across cultures, and beyond words.

The Japanese word ''KOUKAI'' holds dual meanings:
Koukai = voyage / Koukai = regret.
This track explores the choice between the two--refusing to dwell on regret and instead setting sail with intention and love.

Backed by a somber, floating drill beat, Ryder reflects on distance, silence, and unspoken feelings:
''Gengoyori fukai kimochi wa kotoba ni dekinai'' (''Feelings deeper than language can't be put into words'').

The hook repeats ''24 Kimi ga nounai'' (''24/7 you're on my mind''),
revealing a raw commitment that feels intimate and real.
