[夜明け前の São Paulo
カーテン越しの light, it’s soft and low
街のざわめきの裏で
君の voice を探してる
コーヒーの泡が消えるみたいに
熱が少しずつ冷めてく
でも胸の奥、still calling your name
言葉にしたら遠くなる気がして
She’s close, but never mine
We’re more than friends, but less than love
触れられない距離が
僕らを still にしてる
Just one call away
でも言えない “stay”
We’re almost us, not quite in love
時差の向こうで fade away
言葉にならない距離を
心の rhythm で keep the sway
If I say it, it’s over
If I don’t, it’s pain
恋と呼べない恋のまま
Tonight, we stay… almost us
中洲の川沿いの light
風が少し salty tonight
あなたの笑う その写真
まだ lock 画面に残ってる
転勤先のブラジルの海
その空の色に嫉妬してる
でも “元気?” なんて打ったら
余計に遠く感じそうで
He’s online, but not for me
既読の silence が答えみたい
恋の rhythm すれ違っても
同じ tempo でいたいの
Just one step away
でも say it? no way
We’re almost us, not quite in love
時差の向こうで fade away
言葉にならない距離を
心の rhythm で keep the sway
If I say it, it’s over
If I don’t, it’s pain
恋と呼べない恋のまま
Tonight, we stay… almost us
同じ空の下
違う continent
未送信の message
照らす phone light
“Are you free tonight?”
“Can I see you?”
打っては消す、そのたび
心が少しだけ揺れる
She’s close, but never mine…
I’m yours, but not in time…
Between Hakata and São Paulo night—
We stay… almost us

Almost Us
MNB (Music and Beyond)
"Almost Us" tells the story of a man transferred to São Paulo and a woman living her quiet, unchanged days in Hakata.
It's a gentle yet heartbreaking R&B track that captures the fragile space between them-
a connection that feels like love, but can't quite be called it.
Though far apart, they find themselves staring at the glow of their phones under the same night sky.
"If we say it, it might break. But if we stay silent, we can't move forward."
That contradiction-loving without naming it, fearing the words that might end it-shapes the emotional core of the song.
Their unspoken feelings float between the morning light of a bustling city and the quiet night of a harbor town.
The soft sunrise of São Paulo and the humid night breeze of Hakata weave into the production,
creating a soundscape that travels between two worlds.
A tender melody lingers in the space between them, carrying the wish embedded in the title:
"Almost-almost Us."
For anyone who has felt the ache of distance,
the unease of an undefined relationship,
or the weight of words left unsaid.
