Sparks Diminuendo

Akemi

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.

Produced by nanayon music.
