Lyric

Pipe

Togo Kiyomaru

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.
