Lyric

I Couldn't Become a Dekunobō (English Ver.)

Liminal Reverie

I lost to the rain

I lost

I lost

And even so

I am still here

My body came undone

Beneath the rain

The wind blew through me

Scattered every piece

So one by one

I gathered them again

And slowly

I am making me again

Is it all right

To lose to the rain?

Is it all right

To break in the wind?

And still

To remain here

And still

To remain here

I could not live

For someone else

Another person's happiness

Still shakes my heart

I swallow down

The envy inside me

And even so

I smile

I could not become

A Dekunobō

I could not

I could not

As long as there is

Something that I want

I could not

I could not

I say

I need no name

And yet there are nights

I long to hear it called

That voice

That never becomes a voice

The rain

Is listening

I stand here

Beneath the rain

Little by little

I am disappearing

And even so

I am

Still here

**EDO LOFI - INTERNATIONAL BEST -**

The sound had already crossed the sea.

Now, the stories follow.

*EDO LOFI - INTERNATIONAL BEST -* brings together 13 selected tracks from EDO LOFI, reimagined with English lyrics for listeners around the world.

Samurai carrying their pride beneath the word **MAKOTO**.
A blade waiting inside its sheath in **KIRISUTE GOMEN**.
Demons, gamblers, festivals, forbidden love, and women gazing beyond the walls of Yoshiwara.

These are stories born from the streets, legends, nights, and imagination of Edo.

Traditional Japanese sounds such as shamisen, koto, and taiko meet hip-hop, boom bap, and modern beats, while the lyrics carry the characters and emotions behind the music into a new language.

Some Japanese words remain untranslated.

**MAKOTO.
KIRISUTE GOMEN.
ISSEN.
UKIYO.
CHO or HAN.**

Because some things belong to the world they came from.

You heard the sound.

Now hear the story.

**Welcome to EDO LOFI.**
