I never say 'so long'
暗闇を照らす
Silent and hollow
Silent for so long
Beyond sleepless nights
眠らない夜を超え
I'll come get you no matter what
I'll come get you no matter what
I thought the days
Would just go on and on and on
They lurk in the shadows
Holding their breath
That moment when
They suddenly strike
It starts as if it's
Going to destroy everything
We have no
Weapons of any kind
Are we more willing to
Accept that fate?
The iron will
That never gives up crumbled
Again and again
I thought it could end at any moment
But I realize that it never did
Its limbs and heart like dead trees
I never say 'so long'
暗闇を照らす
Silent and hollow
Silent for so long
I thought the days
Would just go on and on and on
They lurk in the shadows
Holding their breath
That moment when they suddenly strike
It starts as if it's
Going to destroy everything
We have no weapons of any kind
Are we more willing to accept that fate?
The iron will that never gives up crumbled
I learned that to live is a sad thing
生きるということは悲しい事と知った。
I never say 'so long'
暗闇を照らす
Silent and hollow
Silent for so long
Beyond sleepless nights
眠らない夜を超え
I'll come get you no matter what
I'll come get you no matter what
You never say 'so long'
Silent for long
Beyond sleepless Nights
No matter what you get, you own your world

CHRONOMETER Announces New Album "EvolAwakening" After 6 Years - A Bold Evolutionary Awakening!
Formed by former members of BENTROOT, who were active in Japan's punk and hardcore scene from the '90s to early 2000s, CHRONOMETER made a powerful debut in 2015 with their first album, based on a digital rock sound.
In 2019, they returned to their roots with a second album that abandoned programmed sounds for a raw, live band style rooted in the essence of mixture rock.
Despite a limited schedule, they solidified their unique world through nationwide tours and appearances at various festivals, centered around Tokyo.Now, in 2025
After a long-awaited six years, CHRONOMETER is set to release their brand new album "EvolAwakening"!
The title is a coined term combining Evolution and Awakening, representing both the journey CHRONOMETER has walked and the bold new evolution embodied in this album.
While rooted in loud rock, EvolAwakening highlights even more emotional guitar ensembles and uniquely crafted vocal lines, presenting a fresh and progressive take on "POST MIXTURE" music.
This is not just a new album it marks a true rebirth for CHRONOMETER and a daring leap into a brand new chapter
Artist Profile
CHRONOMETER
From the ashes of the influential punk and hardcore scene of the 90s and early 2000s, former members of BENTROOT formed a new powerhouse: CHRONOMETER. Based in Tokyo, the band evolved through multiple lineup changes before releasing their debut album in 2015, showcasing a digital rock inspired sound. Their second release marked a return to their roots, removing electronic elements in favor of raw instrumentation. With influences ranging from rock, hardcore, emo, to electro, CHRONOMETER embraced a more emotionally charged "Mixture" sound that reflected their origins. Now, their third album introduces a bold new concept: "Kakusei Shinkaron", a fusion of evolution and awakening. It captures the journey CHRONOMETER has taken so far, while pointing toward their continuous growth. Rooted in loud rock, the album features emotionally rich guitar ensembles, creative vocal lines, and for the first time in their career, lyrics in Japanese. Their one-of-a-kind sound, shaped through the CHRONOMETER filter, is a must-hear. CHRONOMETER is ready to redefine the POST MIXTURE sound, straight out of Tokyo.
