大和の縁側 夏の終わりの夜
蝋燭を一本 芯が鳴る
物入れの奥 湿った花火
去年二人で 残した一束
紙縒りを指で そっとつまみ上げる
蝋の火を近づけ ぱちりと灯る
去年は君が 私の分も
火を点けるのが 好きな人だった
蕾がふくらみ 牡丹になる火
松葉が散って 指に届く熱
揺れれば落ちる 引けない手のまま
火球を見てる 息を止めたまま
散り菊に変わり 火花が細る
光の輪が 少しずつ狭まる
君はこの先を 見ずに次へ
私は最後まで 落ちるのを見る
子どもの頃 引地川の灯籠
見えなくなるまで 水面を追った
消える瞬間を 逃さない癖
終わりは終わりと 見届けてしまう
ふくらみきって 牡丹が重くなる
ぱちりとひとつ 最後の火花
ぽとりと落ちて 庭が闇に沈む
君のいない夜 音が消えた
残り一本 点けずに戻す
蝋を吹き消せば 闇が降りる
目が慣れるまで 動かずにいる
闇に浮かぶ 去年と同じ庭

Sparks Diminuendo
Akemi
Sparks Diminuendo is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays a solitary farewell told by a woman who always watches an ending through to its very last moment.
A veranda at the end of summer, a single candle, damp sparklers, sparks thinning from full bloom toward their final scatter, and a small fireball that drops and sinks into darkness create a quiet scene where tracing alone a fire once lit by two reveals the gap between the one who watches and the one who looks away.
Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the loneliness of adulthood that can receive a parting only by watching it fall, without holding on and without prolonging it.
Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era lyrical subtlety through images of summer nights, a childhood garden, and a vanishing light.
After the fireball falls and the garden sinks into dark, she blows out the candle and stays still until her eyes adjust. What surfaces is the same garden as last year, the quiet residue of a mature farewell.

A music project that reimagines the melancholic mood and nighttime glow of late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese City Pop and New Music through AI-assisted production and human direction. Akemi is a fictional singer with a backstory of being from Yamato City, Kanagawa, Japan. She sings of urban solitude, grown-up love, and bittersweet afterglow in a noir-tinged city pop sound.
