Lyric

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

Sho Nakayama

列車に揺られて僕はウトウト

夢を見ていたんだ、夢みたいに

ワルシャワの路地裏で

チベットの高原で

アイルランドの庭園で

名前も知らないおじいちゃんが幸せにやっているよ

君もできるさ

想像してごらん全てを解いて

薄味の食事

AM3時の会話

時代を変える音楽

ディカプリオ

鈍行列車の窓を覗くとハレー彗星が見えたんだ

僕は旅に出るけれど一緒にいかいないかい

ジョンレノンが命を削って唄った言葉を

僕は今しんしんと想い出している

僕らの思考を遮るものなんて

この世界には何一つとしてなかったんだ

戦争なんてたったの1行で無くなってしまうし

少年は愛しい少女の為に花火を打ち上げる

古いフランスの映画みたいな「奇跡」に我を忘れれば良いし

君がとても大切にしているぬいぐるみがもしかしたら

君のことも大切に思っているかもしれない

遠い北の国に揺れるオーロラに触れることだってできる

だから今勇気を出して窓の外を覗いてごらん

そこに見えるものこそが

真実なのだから

想像してごらん君が想うように

泣きじゃくった日々を

彼と過ごす未来を

有り触れた今

アインシュタイン

鈍行列車はアルタイルを越えた

そしていつか天へ昇った時は

みんなで永久のお昼寝がましたいな

一つになりたいな

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.
