Lyric

Lest We Forget the Eggs

Minami Kitasono

誰しもが抱く

砂の城と酔う

優しい声は霧を深め

今を触るには目を閉じ

グリーンとの共鳴を待つ

汗にはマーキュリーが流れる

柔らかな悲しみ

疑いを連れて

彼が指し示した

ある世界の地図

たどりゆけば

過去に描きもしなかった

ペールブルーの街に

言葉を捨てるときがくる

いつか砂の城は壊れ

最初に出会った姿を見る

生まれる前の記憶をたどる

透明な日々

ここにあるものを

まだ子供だったころ

愛おしさはどこからきた

ひび割れにみんな書かれてる

悲しみの上に

城は築かれる

日曜は両足で階段を降りて

朝を並べ 火を点け

スキレットに種を落とす

誰も想像できなかった

眠たそうな家族たちの声

いつか / その日

確かな / フライドエッグを

食べるだろう

"Meridian," the 1st album released from Phyllite Records, an independent label founded by Minami Kitasono, who works as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer.

Featuring nine tracks influenced by diverse genres such as AOR, City Pop, Soul, Jazz, and Fusion, all composed using full scores. Leveraging his skills as a composer and multi-instrumentalist, the album presents intricate arrangements and a unique musical style.

Actively incorporating remote recording, recordings of horn and string sections were conducted in Germany and Ukraine. By completing large ensemble pieces in a single apartment room, it introduces new possibilities as a "next-generation home recording album."

Kitasono himself took on comprehensive production duties, handling all vocal and instrumental recordings through self-recording. Furthermore, from sound design to mixing, he maintained thorough quality control throughout the production process.

The cover art features René Magritte's painting "Hegel's Holiday," visually symbolizing the album's universe.
