Draped Wings

Hiyou

「青く灼け澄んだ空気に

僕の手でいつか触れてみたい」

細く鳴り響いた声

無邪気に背負ったこどもの夢

立ち止まっている間に飛び立った

鳥の群れは空の向こう

ひとり大人になっても鳴らし続けた

不格好に大きく手を伸ばして描いていた

覚える前から覚えている透明な翼

未完成に飛び出して転げ落ちて笑っていた

頭より気づいているざわめきを

この手がちゃんと握っていた

揺らめく光に僕の心臓も揺れてしまいそう

深く染み付いてる声

背中をそうっと押したのは誰?

届いているよ

長い時間着飾っていたものを

手放すのは怖いけど もう大丈夫

冷たい風、陽射しを肌で感じていって

空を渡るにはひとつの名前があればいい

不格好に大きく手を伸ばして描いていく

きっとあの自由な鳥のようには羽ばたけなくても

未完成に飛び出して何度だって転んでいい

宛のない日を飛んでいく翼は

この背に宿っているから

宿っているから

"A Fish Who Longed for Birds"
When I thrust through the water and leap towards the shimmering surface, there's a moment when my body becomes weightless in the air.
The world transforms completely from its azure state.
Though my breathing, skin, and eyes all suffer, I leap again and again, falling each time, just to glimpse that world once more.
In that long instant at the surface, I saw creatures soaring far higher than I could. I admired them. I envied them, and kept leaping time after time, refusing to be outdone.
Yet I never reached them.

I often have such dreams.
In my past life, I must have been a fish or something similar.
Ah, how much it resembles who I am now.

Artist Profile

  • Hiyou

    Hiyou is a Tokyo-based artist, songwriter, and composer who pushes the boundaries of genre, blending pop, jazz, classical, and electronica into deeply emotional, cinematic soundscapes. His music combines translucent, heartfelt vocals with improvisational piano and intricate production, creating a unique sonic experience that ''paints landscapes in your memory.'' Raised on classical piano, Hiyou discovered improvisation and composition in his teens before studying advanced music theory and composition at Toho College of Music. This foundation allows him to fuse technical precision with a sense of wonder, turning personal stories and vivid imagery into music. In 2024, he released his debut album Hikoushou (Flight Chapter), a concept album based on the idea: ''A fish that longed to fly will leap again, no matter how many times it falls.'' His songs invite listeners into an intimate yet expansive world--one that feels both nostalgic and full of discovery. Hiyou continues to evolve as an artist, crafting works that bridge fantasy and reality, while preparing for his third major live performance in Tokyo in 2025.
