Lyric

The Last City

kumiko morita

ある夏の日の空は

澄み渡り広く高く

眩しすぎる太陽が

この街を照らしている

忙しくも穏やかな

日常のはずだった

青空をゆらゆらと

漂うパラシュート

飛行機雲が空を割いて

光はこの街の全てを焼き尽くしてしまった

乾いた涙は黒い雨となって

影は焼け残り異臭が鼻をついた

外れかけたボタンに救われた命と

最後を嘆く叫びよ あの夏の日よ

あゝ あゝ

あの子は何も知らないままで 光に包まれた

あの子は何も知らないままで 青空へ帰る

それでも街は生きていまに繋がった

さようなら争いよ、さようなら憎しみよ

ここは最後の街ここが最後の街でいい

これ以上の悲しみはもういらない

鐘が鳴る祈りを捧げる

"The Last City"

Written and performed by Nagasaki-born artist Kumiko Morita, "The Last City" is a song inspired by her hometown of Nagasaki, the city where an atomic bomb was dropped on August 9, 1945.

The song carries a message of peace and a hope that the devastation caused by war will never be repeated.

In this version, Morita layers her own vocals to create a sound reminiscent of a choir. Gentle and intimate, the arrangement transforms the song into a quiet prayer for peace.

"The Last City" is released in two different arrangements, each expressing the song's message from a different perspective.
