昭和の街を走り回り
尾行の相棒 紙の地図
公衆電話を探しながら
依頼人へと報告した
カメラの中はフィルムだけ
失敗すれば撮り直せない
一枚一枚 宝物
祈るようにシャッター切った
フラッシュが光った夜
見つかるなよと息を止め
ホテルの前で身を潜め
証拠を追った若い日
便利になった今だけど
変わらぬものがある
最後は人を見る目だと
探偵人生が教えてくれた
今じゃスマホにGPS
暗闇だって鮮明だ
地図もナビもAIだって
瞬時に答えをくれる時代
だけど機械は教えない
人の迷いや嘘までは
歩いた距離と経験が
真実への道を照らす
フラッシュが光った夜
仲間と笑った帰り道
苦労ばかりの毎日も
今では懐かしい思い出
便利になった今だから
忘れちゃいけないさ
汗を流して足で追う
探偵魂 いつまでも
昔は一枚の写真を撮るために
何時間も待った
何日も追った
便利になった今でも
真実を見抜くのは
機械じゃない
人なんだ
フラッシュが光った夜
あれから四十六年
時代は大きく変わっても
変わらぬ誇りがある
人を想い 人を守る
その気持ちを胸に
今日もどこかで走ってる
昭和生まれの探偵さ
フィルムの匂いも
公衆電話も
遠い思い出になったけど
あの頃の苦労があるから
今の私がここにいる

Flash Lit the Night
D-Dragon
"Flash Lit the Night"
Today, smartphones, GPS technology, high-performance cameras, and AI have dramatically changed the way private investigators conduct their work.
But when I started my career 46 years ago, things were very different.
We carried paper maps, ran through city streets, searched for public telephones to report back to clients, and relied on film cameras where every shot mattered.
At night, we sometimes had to use a camera flash, pressing the shutter while silently hoping, "Don't let me get caught."
Even with all the technology available today, the final path to the truth still depends on human experience, intuition, and the determination to never give up.
This song is a tribute to the 46 years I have spent as a detective, from the Showa era to the present day, and to the detective spirit that remains unchanged despite the passing of time.
I hope this song resonates not only with those in the investigative profession, but also with anyone who looks back fondly on the Showa era and the memories it holds.
Artist Profile
D-Dragon
The D in D-Dragon stands for Detective. Having spent many years working as a detective, D-Dragon has witnessed both the light and the shadows of human nature. Drawing from those experiences, he transforms emotions such as weakness, jealousy, gratitude, regret, love, and inner conflict into music. Because he has seen the hidden sides of people, he does not view life in simple terms of right and wrong. Instead, his songs explore the complexities, contradictions, struggles, and hopes that exist within every person. There are days when life does not go as planned. There are nights filled with regret. Yet in the end, he believes every story should conclude with one simple phrase: Thank you. Through music, D-Dragon shares the lessons, observations, and reflections gathered from a lifetime of studying people and their journeys. D-Dragon is an artist who sings about life itself.
