ひと山越えて 雪の渦の中へ
癒えない絆を 白く隠す
風にさらわれ 揺れる橋を渡り
あの恋のほうへ 向かう命
闇つつまれて 失われた日
羽ばたく音と光放つ
目の奥残る きみの光と影
願いと一緒に 波にとかす
迎えにゆくよ ひとり泣いて待って
あの星のもとで 会える切符
闇つつまれて 失われた日
羽ばたく音と光放つ
遠き山尾根 絡む気持ちほどく
溢れる愛とて くるむ命
風にさらわれ 揺れる道を辿り
あの恋のほうへ 向かう命

Umi no Hito to Yuki
cokiyu
This album is the first collection of works in about 10 years since the release of the second album "Your Thorn", and contains 5 songs of "Electronica feat. Singing" with all Japanese lyrics, which were created last spring after a period of long break from 2017 to 2020. The sound is built with four musicians, masami.ueti, HAMADAH (NETWORKS), Hirofumi Nakamura (tricolor, John John John Festival, etc.), and Ueda Takayasu, and focuses on the song with her deep ambience. The album was mastered by Yosi Horikawa, whom she trusts a lot, and who is also a legendary musician.
The first track, "Tabibito," features an ambient guitar performance by Okinawan musician masami.ueti, who, according to cokiyu himself, "symbolizes the theme of this album. The rhythmic electric piano motifs and melancholy shoegaze flavors of the guitar and organ harmonies are complemented by positive lyrics that accelerate the pop feel of the song.
The second track, "Sanso," features bassist Hirofumi Nakamura, a performer who has collaborated with tricolor, John John Festival, singer-songwriters and dancers. In addition, HAMADAH from NETWORKS, the band that remixed "Drag The Beast" in the past, has taken charge of the drum arrangement. This is a song where the song is pushed forward more.
The third track, "Majinai", features the syncopated beat that is often found in her music. The addition of a waltz rhythm gives the song a dark yet pop feel.
The fourth track, "Shiosai", is a four-piece house arrangement, but the basic chords and melody are reminiscent of Japanese songs.
The fifth song, "Umi no Hito to Yuki", was completed after the same production process with Ueda Takayasu, who arranged and played guitar on "Star Take A Rest" from her first album "Mirror Flake" released in 2007. He is currently working as a mastering engineer and a label owner, but as a musician, he continues to output many works and is someone to keep an eye on in the future. The result is an acoustic sound that stands out amidst the electronic sounds of the song.
