木漏れ日のほとぼりも
憎たらしい晴天も
あたしだけ置いてって
神隠してく
夕暮れと居たことも
鈴の音が鳴いたことも
ため息に置いてって
神隠してく
きみの背中はもう超えたかな
幾年も書き足した言葉を
届けて
ほたるこい…
新しく手に入れた
きみが好きそうな本も
記憶だけ置いてって
神隠してく
詩を書きはじめたことも
まぼろしを見たことも
せせらぎに置いてって
神隠してく
きみの書いた本
祠と一緒に
幾年も書き足した言葉を
紡いで
樹の下で読みふけて
きみのとなりで寝たこと
最後だと知りもしない日に
笑い合ってた
蛍火が繋いでた
きみのいのちを解いて
もう大丈夫 怖くはない
ただ、あと少しだけでいいから
この手を握っていて
きみの手紙をずっと抱きしめてる
幾年も書き足した言葉を
届けて
ほたるこい…

Name's Echo
Hiyou
"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.
