The moon of this spring night
Is veiled in haze
I wonder
How you have been
It has been so long
Since I last saw you
And I confess
I have felt a little lost
A gentle wind
Moves across the fields
And grains of light
Come undone in the sky
They pass over my heart
So softly
As though
To calm it
Still unable
To touch you
Like a flame
That has lost its fire
This feeling
Without oxygen
Still tries
To burn
Flickering
Flickering
Flickering
It will not cease
Inside my chest
I alone
Remain here
Unable
To go anywhere
Beneath
This bright sky
There is only
The faint presence of you
Untouched
You drift farther away
And yet
Somehow
You grow nearer
Deep within my chest
Even now
A distant light
Continues to shimmer
The longer
I cannot see you
The more certain
You become
Or so
It seems to me
Still unable
To touch you
Like a flame
That has lost its fire
This feeling
Without oxygen
Still tries
To burn
Flickering
Flickering
Flickering
Still
It will not cease
I alone
Remain here
Unable
To go anywhere
I only hope
That when
Our paths cross again
I may
See you

**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.**
Artist Profile
Liminal Reverie
Liminal Reverie is an instrumental music project centered on the theme between reality and dreams. Between day and night. After the crowds fade away. Moments where reality and dreams have not yet fully separated. Liminal Reverie turns the lingering presence, afterglow, and quiet atmosphere of those moments into sound. The project is built on two complementary musical axes: Japanese side: Edo Lofi Western side: Liminal Reverie Each explores a different world, while sharing the same sense of liminality.
