Lyric

Moon/Saturn

Black Boboi

いつの日にか君の 声を忘れるの?

さよならも言わずに どこか遠くに 来たみたい

空 のぼる 月が 見える?

もういいよ 歩こう 次は 好きな 場所へ

ずっと好きなもののこと 君に教えよう

最初に見た景色 大事な人

もし世界が違っていても 君に伝えないと

Crossing the night, Saturn’s light

Still alive in my eyes

Awakened from the dream

I take your hands, I take your hands again and again

Crossing the night, Saturn’s light

Still spinning in my eyes

Round and round

The ice waltz melts our distance

    Dear,

    Black Boboi

"Black Boboi's first album in five years, Sepia, is an alternative pop record that traverses trip-hop, techno, and ambient textures. The album was inspired by a fictional apocalyptic novel composed through a series of "correspondence letters" exchanged between the three members.

Upon finishing the final track, the listener is left with a profound sense of weight-much like the lingering feeling after watching a cinematic masterpiece-evoked by its free-form sonic imagery and lyrical world.

In a modern society radically transformed by technological innovation, where the traditional "givens" of ethics and morality no longer seem to apply, the expression Black Boboi releases today embraces the nostalgic (=Sepia) while simultaneously questioning how we will confront the future."
