永遠のいのちを授かって
黄金を両手に手にして
108の煩悩さえも
手懐けるような日々を
夢と希望を鎧にして
そびえ立つスカイスクレイパー
螺旋階段を登って
そのいただきを夢見た
霞んだ摩天楼を見上げて
雲を破り大空に抜けたはずが
吹きすさぶ灼熱の突風で
乾ききった喉が焼き付いた
夢にまで見るほど焦がれた
天空で君と迎える朝を
また今日も見上げて
目を凝らして探している
高鳴る胸を響かせて
切れそうな息を弾ませて
摩天楼の真ん中で
その光を浴びたかった
心焦がしたその場所で
思い出に心焦がしてる
螺旋回廊に響いた
答えの見つからない問いかけ
大切なものを守ろうとして
雲を破り大空に抜けたはずが
風だけが響く 無限の荒れ地は
君の声をかき消してしまうよ
夢にまで見るほど焦がれた
平穏な君との週末を
また今日も見おろして 目を凝らしてる
ありふれた今日を抱き寄せたら
音を立てて 叩きつけた夕立で
砂上の摩天楼は崩れて
見上げれば空は青く澄んだ
夢にまで見るほど焦がれた
平穏に君と迎える朝を
もっと愛せるように 今日を抱きしめる

ARKADIA
ALBATROSS
"ARCADIA," the band's first single in nearly a year since "Painkiller," is a sophisticated rock anthem constructed with architectural precision. Fantastical and melancholic verses evoke the atmosphere of a novel or fairytale, while the chorus bursts skyward with uplifting intensity. Anchored by elegant piano work and a weighty, grounded groove, the song unfolds with meticulous detail and dynamic scale.

ALBATROSS
This five-member group traces its lineage back to city pop, AOR, and urban soul, yet crosses genres without borders, weaving anthemic music of the REIWA Japanese era. The one-of-a-kind sound that intertwines the message spelled out by frontman Hiroshi Kaifu with the soul and R&B-derived swells cultivated as a live band inspires listeners, while at the same time leaning in and talking to them. The band was formed in 1998 in Nagoya by high school classmates Kaifu (Vo), Amano (Gt), and Kobayashi (Ba). Later, Ohno (Dr.) and Shimazaki (Key) joined to form the current lineup. At that time, the band performed more than 100 live shows a year in various parts of Japan. However, in the late 2000s, Shimazaki, Amano, and Ohno left the group. The band changed members and resumed their activities, but went on hiatus after their last live performance in 2009. After that, they were inactive for more than 10 years, March 20, 2022. On March 20, 2022, they resumed their activities with a two-man live concert with G-FREAK FACTORY, which was held after the closing of their home ground, Apollo Base in Nagoya, at that time. They announced the resumption of their activities. In July of the same year, they released their first EP "ECHOED" in 12 years. In September, the band held a successful "The World Is Echoed" live concert. The year is 2023. After resuming their activities, they announced a new project, "9 Chants," in which nine newly created songs will be released consecutively over a period of nine months. Atsushi Shimazaki left the band on June 20, 2023, and Yuki Hanabusa joined as a new support keyboardist for "9 Chants". Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
