風が少し強くなった
鼻先に潮の香り
いくつも道を間違えて
つま先じんわり傷んだ
胸にしまいこんだ約束
海沿いのホーム
けだるい車内アナウンス
ぐしゃぐしゃのきみ
ヘンな笑顔で
また、気が向いたらね、と…
お弁当持って
あたらしいまちへ
少し味の濃い
愛を包んで
お弁当持って
あたらしいまちへ
きみに言えなかった
ことばを包んで
思い出はカタチを変えてゆく
気まぐれなスピードで溶けていく
潮騒に隠れた約束が
夏の影にゆれている
伝えないまま
波に消えてしまう前に
また、気が向いたらね
お弁当持って
あたらしいまちへ
少し味の濃い
愛を包んで
お弁当持って
あたらしいまちへ
きみを忘れない
ことばを包んで
ことばを包んで

Natsukage -Echoes of Summer-
MAKI WATANABE
Singer-songwriter Maki Watanabe's third single of 2026 is "Natsukage", a nostalgic song depicting the scenes of a summer. "Farewell" is a theme Maki Watanabe has explored in her work before. In this release, she delicately portrays the quiet, peaceful parting of two people who spent time together in a town scented with the sea breeze, along with their new resolve, all set against a summer backdrop. Continuing from her previous release, the track features delicate sound arrangements by Ryosuke Kojima, with Hiroki Shindo handling the guitar on this track. The richly expressive sound lends texture and depth to the story.
