Lyric

Orca

Togo Kiyomaru

寄る辺もなく 漂う夜のとばりに

鼻をつまみ ざぶりと身体を預け

飲み込まれるように沈む 深いブルー、に

あなたがいて

鋭い静寂が 胸をつらぬいて

初めて聴こえる あたたかいメロディ

音もなく 街の底に佇み

牙を立てて 無邪気に肌を噛み合い

抱き合えばひとつになる それは夢で

朝は遠く

鋭い静寂が 胸をつらぬいて

初めて受けとる あたたかいメロディ

指でなぞる その形を

    Togo Kiyomaru

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.
