Green Overture

Akemi

土曜の窓辺 お茶の水の午後

緑のグラスに 指を添える

向かいのあなたは 本の余白に

鉛筆で何か 書き足している

さくらんぼを一つ あなたが皿へ

「最後が寂しい」と 小さく笑う

大和の氷は 手の中で消え

早い温もりを もう追わない

二つのグラスの 汗がひとつに

机の上で 輪が触れあう

「同じ」と言いかけ 「近い」に変える

息を止めたまま 泡が上る

神保町から 抜けてきた午後

長い匙で あなたが沈めかけ

「溶けるまで待とう」 手を止めて

私も匙を 縁に置いた

混じりきる前の 緑を見てる

溶けたら終わると 知っているから

甘さの手前で 匙を止めて

この一杯を ゆっくり分ける

二つのグラスの 汗は乾かず

溶けたアイスが 緑に混じる

「近い」も言わず 窓が翳る

戻れる街を 持ったまま

「溶けないで」とは 言わないまま

濁った緑を ひと匙すくう

近い甘さが 舌にひろがる

グラスの底に 白い名残り

    Green Overture

    Akemi

Green Overture is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays a Saturday afternoon of tasting the sweetness of a beginning just before it fully arrives, knowing that once it melts it ends.
A window seat in an old Ochanomizu coffee shop, tall glasses filled with green cream soda, fine bubbles bursting at the rim, the sweat of two glasses touching on the table, and a single old book from Jimbocho create a tender scene where melting ice cream and condensation carry a love that starts to say the same and changes it to close.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood that watch the green before it fully blends and stop the spoon just short of the sweetness, slowly sharing a limited span of time.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era urban lyricism through images of a weekend afternoon, a coffee shop window, and the quiet anticipation of a beginning.

Agreeing to wait until it melts, they each rest a long spoon on the rim and watch the green before it turns.
Without even saying the word close, they let the window dim, each still holding a town to return to, and scoop one spoon of the clouded green to let a near sweetness spread across the tongue.
