The Wall Fresco

Akemi

部活帰りの 五月の五時を

南林間へ 抜ける塀の道

帰る方向が 同じだけって

言い訳の距離 半歩の隣

ブロック塀の 腰の高さに

白いろうせきの 傘のかたち

その下に並ぶ 二つの名前

君の足と 私の足が止まる

擦れば消える 白い線なのに

どちらの手も ポケットから出ない

遠くでジェットの 残響が過ぎて

「……消す?」と君の 声が小さい

いたずら書きの 傘は下手くそで

柄は曲がってる 骨も足りない

それでも名前は 間違っていない

「雨が消すわ」と 空を見て言う

自分で消せば 否定したことに

残すと言えば 認めたことに

どちらも まだ 持ちきれないから

消すのは雨の 仕事にするわ

それから駅まで 口数が減って

歩幅だけが 揃ってしまう

改札で振る 手がいつもより

一秒長い 五月の夕べ

三日後の雨に 傘は薄れて

それでも白い 名前がひと文字

十年経った 雨の上がりにも

塀側を半歩 歩いてしまう

    The Wall Fresco

    Akemi

The Wall Fresco is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays two students who find their own names drawn under a chalk umbrella on a block wall, and quietly agree to let the rain decide its fate.
A walled lane on the way home in May, a clumsy umbrella drawn in white soapstone at waist height, two names side by side beneath it, and the distant echo of a jet create a quiet after school scene where a feeling neither of them has spoken is written first by someone else.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood hidden inside a young memory, where erasing the lines would become denial and keeping them would become confession, so she leaves the work of erasing to the rain.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era lyrical subtlety through images of school lanes, suburban block walls, and the humid silence of a walk to the station.

From the wall to the station, their words grow fewer while their strides quietly fall into line.
Ten years later, after every rain, she still walks half a step toward the wall side, carrying in her body a habit that remembers what was never said.
