腹が減るのを待って
ただひたすら待って
気がつけば筒になる
噛まれたストローの
ぺちゃんこの縁を
指で軽くおさえたら
やさしく押し返す
息がとおりぬけて
完璧な筒になる
ぽかんとアリゲーター
沖のエーデンクジラ
日向のヒポポタマス
ただひたすら待って
風がとおりぬけて
ああ彼らも筒になる
腹が減るのを待って
ただひたすら待って
あなたも筒になれば
中は煮えたぎって
徐々にめくれだして
なにもかも裏返る

This is a narrative work produced by Togo Kiyomaru alone in the living room of his parents' house where he spent his boyhood and adolescence.
His previous work, "Q tune," released in 2019, featured over 10 guest performers and engineer Toshihiko Kasai, pursuing a groovy sound incorporating dance music and world music. The following year brought a worldwide pandemic, and at the same time, the birth of Kiyomaru Togo's first child. The rapid changes in society on a global scale and the growing new family shook his conventional values from both macro and micro perspectives.
As if facing the fundamental questions of what is music, what is singing, and what is myself, I completed a guitar-playing album with a simple sound image in the living room of my parents' house where I can spend time peacefully.
The song is about the joy of living and working, the longing for a new world, and the regret for what will be left behind. The number of notes and rhythms are reduced to the bare minimum, and the harmony of the voices is sometimes overlapped to delicately weave the music.
