Lyric

Strobe on the Embankment

Akemi

水門のそば 腰掛けた土手

風がかすめる 二人の隙間

川面を渡る 夜の湿り気

言葉を持たぬ 静かな時間(とき)よ

遠くで響く 低い重低音(ベース)

空を切り裂く 昔の記憶

天井を這う 灯を数えた夜

隣の熱が ゆっくり解く

真紅(あか)い閃光(ストロボ) 夜空を薙いで

あなたの瞳 白く浮かべる

重ねた指に 少し力を

込めてしまった 一秒の隙

火薬の匂い 運ぶ川風

土手に落ちゆく 燃えがらの赤

「綺麗だね」と 呟く声に

頷くだけで 視線外した

消えゆく光 残像の闇

終わりを知って 選ぶ始まり

誰のせいにも しないと決めた

真夏の風が 素肌を撫でる

二度目の閃光(ストロボ) 世界を染めて

影が重なる 砂利の坂道

引き返すには 遅すぎる熱

離せなくなった あなたの右手を

人波の中 歩き出す道

夜の幹線(ルート)へ 向かう足音

繋いだ指に 残った火照り

風の止み間に 消えずに続く

    Strobe on the Embankment

    Akemi

Strobe on the Embankment is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays the night a nameless closeness quietly turns into a beginning.
A riverside bank along the Tama, a floodgate just outside the edge of the crowd, damp night air drifting across the water, and the smell of gunpowder carried on the wind create a summer scene where each flash of light reveals a face before it has time to compose itself.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that refuses to be swept up in the start of something, and instead accepts the time ahead together with the ending that will eventually arrive.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era urban lyricism through images of summer nights, riverside humidity, and the stillness that exists just outside a crowd.

When he murmurs that it is beautiful, she only nods and looks away, letting a little more pressure gather in their folded fingers instead.
With no promise and no declaration, she decides she will lay the blame on no one, and starts walking up the gravel slope.
Produced by nanayon music.
