Lyric

**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.**
