味のしないガムみたいな
夜を溶かして
どう生きてくか
ただ勇気がなく
溶け込む安心に身を潜め
代わり映えの無い事柄に
気づかない振りをして
逃げていたのかもしれない
味のしないガムみたいな
夜を溶かして
どう生きていくか
一時の幸せや快感に感化され
繋ぎ止めていた紐を
忘れるくらいに
今を生きている感覚に
満たされていた
満たされていた
初めて聞いた街の中するjob
ここで過ごす夜を
どう描こう
最小単位の生活と幸せ
得た瞬間に次から
余白を持った人間関係
代わりがきいちゃう今の俺
ふと上の空
嫌な事考える
空っぽになってしまいそうで
5年後の自分に問いかける
今お前なにしてんの？とか
明日の自分にも問いかける
今すべきことはなんなのか
味のしないガムみたいな
夜を溶かして
どう生きていくか
一時の幸せや快感に感化され
繋ぎ止めていた紐を
忘れるくらいに
今を生きている感覚に
満たされていた
満たされていた
属した環境ではすぐに
向けられる膨らんだ期待
それがないやつよりか
有難いけど俺が欲しいのは
そーゆーんじゃない
大きな信頼 尊敬
それだけじゃ満たせない
俺のPocket
愛や友達のような
日常の中の
小さな幸せが
もっと欲しいんだ
Do I tell that I'm scared?
味のしないガムみたいな
夜を溶かして
どう生きていくか
一時の幸せや快感に感化され
繋ぎ止めていた紐を
忘れるくらいに
今を生きている感覚に
満たされていた
満たされていた
味のしないガムみたいな
夜を溶かして
どう生きてくか
ただ勇気がなく
溶け込む安心に身を潜め
代わり映えの無い事柄に
気づかない振りをして
逃げていたのかもしれない

NEOM
This work was produced entirely by NEOM, who handled the engineering myself. It expresses the struggles and solidified determination felt as one transitions from student life to society, as well as various other nights, through sound. What makes it distinctive is that it transforms the anxiety and hope that everyone undoubtedly feels at night into sound, without being pessimistic. Additionally, the guest artist, Roma from Kicktea and 109 in the neighboring town of Hirakata. The jacket design is handled by Reo Shimotani, who serves as both producer and DJ. In conjunction with the digital release, fellow artist Tomoya Hirayama directs the music video for ,Taste-less Gum, marking my first solo music video. A live performance is scheduled for August 17 in my hometown of Neyagawa.
Artist Profile
NEOM
NEOM / Neon Hailing from Neyagawa, Osaka, NEOM launched his career in his mid-teens, wielding a signature mellow flow and a versatile style that transcends the boundaries of traditional hip-hop. He is a lyricist who candidly articulates the subtle emotional nuances of daily life that often remain unspoken. For his 2nd EP, NEOTERIC, NEOM spent a year immersed in production at local studios in the United States, capturing his shifting perspective within a foreign culture. His 3rd EP, Lethe, centered on the theme of "oblivion," featuring artists from his neighboring town of Hirakata and Saitama, showcasing his ever-deepening worldview. Following the 2025 release of his 4th EP, Tezukuri no Tsuki, his creative momentum has shown no signs of slowing. In April 2026, NEOM joins forces with beatmaker zyagyo from Hirakata for their latest collaborative project, OYUGIKAI. Now establishing a unique position as a "Rapper-Engineer," NEOM not only performs but also handles the engineering for his own works and those of his peers. By balancing intricate acoustic design with razor-sharp lyrics, NEOM continues to bring a fresh perspective to the Japanese music scene.
