Butterfly butterfly どうかこれを
とどけておくれ
どこかで 悲しんでるあなたへひらひら
バイバイやさいかいや
喜怒哀楽はうんざりで
もうかなり疲れたね
あなたは うら うら
どうしても生きにくい君や
日々のおきてに絡まったあの子の
秘密ごと抱き寄せては夢にたとえた
ねぇ、今悪い夢をみていたのなら
もうね大丈夫自由だよ
ふわりふわりと君にまとっていく
どうかころものようにこの歌が
つまりお守りになって日々の淵から
すくってくれるように
だいたいはいやしないさ
あなただけの物語で
どれだけ輝いて生きていけるかが鍵さ
くらい日や最低な日は
ひとまずはもう預けてね
おやすみ疲れたね
あなたはうらうら
どうしても生きにくい時は
日々の隙間で隠れては
あそぼうよ
ひとりごと息を呑んでは深く放った
ねえいつかの風景に縛られているのなら
もうね大丈夫終わったよ
するりするりと時は流れていく
そうさ君の今はこれからさ
ふわりお守りになって君の日々に
寄り添っていれるように

『butterfly』は、生きづらさや疲れを抱えた誰かに、そっと寄り添おうとするやさしい歌です。悲しみを消し去るのではなく、無理に癒やそうともしないまま、それでも歌がころものようにまとい、お守りのように日々を支えてくれることを願っています。蝶のひらひらとした軽やかさと、言葉の奥にある深い思いやりが重なり、苦しい時間に小さな逃げ場や呼吸の余白を与えてくれる一曲です。夜や夢、隙間、風景といったモチーフを通して、孤独な心に「自由でいい」「終わったよ」と静かに手を差し出す、繊細であたたかな楽曲です。
Artist Profile
sumi
Sumi is a Japanese singer-songwriter who began releasing music in April 2026. Writing and composing her own work, she consistently explores a single theme: things that pass through impermanence, transience, the quiet movement between states. Her songwriting is built on a simple principle: to reach emotional depth through plain everyday language, precise word choice, and unexpected structure. She avoids elaborate vocabulary or stylistic tricks, writing in words anyone would recognize yet achieving resonance through how those words are arranged. Her work is marked by a distinctive linguistic fingerprint: archaic Japanese expressions and onomatopoeia dissolved into contemporary speech, creating a texture that feels both ancient and immediate. After her debut single "Kaze" (Wind) in April 2026, followed by "petrichor" and "microbit" in the same month, Sumi has adopted a weekly release cadence. A four-song cycle "butterfly," "Bouquet," "maria age" unfolds through May and June, followed by a second chapter of four more releases. Each song stands alone, yet four songs together trace a single narrative arc: a modern reinterpretation of serial storytelling in Japanese pop music. Musically, she moves freely across genres from electronic to acoustic solo guitar to world music but the underlying aesthetic remains constant: a meditation on impermanence and stillness. In deliberate contrast to the verbosity of mainstream J-pop, her work is designed around negative space. Since her first release, her music has begun reaching international listeners, with organic traction through TikTok and other platforms among non-Japanese-speaking audiences. Sumi's music doesn't speak in order to be heard. It leaves space and in that space, something passes through.
