We saw Halley's comet from the window of the slow train Front Cover

Lyric

Sylvia Cafe

Sho Nakayama

カフカの小説片手に、眉間をしわくちゃにして歩いている

少し不機嫌な君と向かう茶色い屋根が目印の喫茶店

髭を生やしたマスターが君に気づき話したよ

今日は良いマンデリンが入ったよ。

あら本当??って頬を緩めた

そんな

シルヴィア・カフェへようこそ

追憶と安らぎがある場所

セピア色の古い書物

窓際に咲いている花はブーゲンビリア

本を読む女子学生

うたた寝をしているサラリーマン

皆それぞれの場所で肩肘をついて未来を思う

永遠の午後

焼きたてのシナモンロール

ハーブ入りのクッキー

ボサノヴァのゆるふわなビート、そっと

香しいこのダージリン

まんまるまるのマカロン

そんな日々の束の間

人はみんなみんな小説家さ

想像すればどこへでも行けるさ

シルヴィア・カフェに来ると

そんな哲学が浮かぶから 不思議なもんさ

マスターは夢の中

西の窓から射す夕焼け

「もうそろそろ帰りましょ。」

優しく君が呟いた

うん、帰ろう

Album commentary

I made this album in my early twenties.
I have always valued the keyword "nostalgia" in making music.
Somewhere out of touch with reality, it's like being in a dream.
Still, I feel nostalgic and my heart warms.
I always aim for such works.
This album is a work of originality and ingenuity to give shape to it. There is that intention at the bottom of all the songs.

In the two songs "Novelist" and "We saw Halley's Comet from the window of the slow train"
We asked the Irish violinist Yujo to produce the sound.
The sound with a Celtic music motif carefully expresses the "nostalgia" of the song.
An old man living in a mountain hut, a young man looking at another world from the train window
I would be happy if you could see the protagonist living in the world of such music in the sound.

"Hanabishi no Koi", "Let's go see the Aurora", and "Sylvia Cafe"
Arranged by Mr. Akio Harada who is active as a painter.
All three songs have a strong narrative and are like a picture book.
the picture in the song
It is wonderfully sublimated into music.

"Cooking" "Cinema" "I'm writing a poem for you" "September Riverbed" "Kami no Hikari"
I made a home recording with a friend of mine, Tomohiro Horihata, who is a composer and arranger.
Packed full of impulsive ideas at the time.
Get on the train and sample the sound, use pots and cutting boards instead of drums
enjoying the sound

Please listen to our proud album.
