半袖に替えた朝
鏡の前で迷ってる
結んだ髪を解いて
また結んで 意味もなく
返事のないLINEの
見ないふりして見てしまう
降るのかな 晴れるのかな
天気予報ばかり見てる
何気ない視線とか
優しい声の温度とか
期待しちゃ駄目なくらい
ちゃんとわかっているのに
夏になれば少しは
何か変わる気がしてた
今の距離が安全だって
思うほど苦しくなる
ん... だって
勘違いのままでも
少しでも近づけるなら
それでいい
また今度のその先をまだ
一人で待ってしまう夜
壊れるのは怖いくせに
変わらないのはもっと苦しい
冷えたグラス越しに揺れる
街明かりを見てた
隣にいる それだけで
嬉しいなんてずるいよね
名前を呼ぶその度に
胸の奥だけ騒いでる
平気な顔していても
あなたには見えないまま
「また今度時間ある？」
軽い言葉としてでも
私だけかもしれない その先を
見てるのは曖昧なくらいがちょうどいい？
そう思えたらいいのにね
夏の手前の風ばかり
背中をそっと押してく
勘違いのままで
少しでも近づけるなら
それでいい
また今度のその先をまだ
一人で描いてしまう夜
壊したくはないくせに
このままじゃいられなくなる
勘違いのままでも
少しでも期待できるなら
それでいい
また今度のその先をまだ
一人で待ってしまう夜
壊れるのは怖いくせに
変わらないのはもう苦しい
夏が来る前の風に
この恋ごと攫われたい

Even If It's Just My Imagination
HIKARI
Song Introduction: "Even If It's Just My Imagination"
"I'm terrified of things breaking, yet staying the same is even more painful. This slight fever isn't because of the summer."
The hesitation of a morning spent changing into short sleeves, and a faint sigh falling onto a smartphone screen that yields no reply. Set against the approaching signs of summer, this heart-wrenching medium-tempo number depicts the earnest feelings of a love wavering in ambiguous distance through a hybrid of sophisticated 90s R&B and "Enka Neo-Soul."
The story opens with an ultra-close-range whisper of "0.0m Ultra-Dry Vocal" as she reties her hair in front of a mirror. A leak of emotion that can't quite become words: "Mmm... but..." The conflict between the reason trying to maintain a safe distance and the instinct wanting to get closer-even if it's just a misunderstanding-breathes vividly right in your ear.
The greatest highlight is the extreme groove of the "1.5 Beat Extreme Layback," expressing the passion swirling behind the casual words "maybe next time." HIKARI's signature "Kobushi Soul" (the passion of Showa-era pop) intertwines like a foreign object within the refreshing, early-summer track, creating a heart-creaking sadness. The emotions, staggering between the fear of breaking and the pain of the status quo, are eventually blown by the pre-summer wind and melt into the sky with a fleeting resonance.
[HIKARI's Tech Note]
In this work, "HIKARI-style Integrated Master Protocol v7.2" was applied. Against the framework of a summer love song that tends to be refreshing, I intentionally collided heavy, languid physical constraints: "Deep Sub-Bass" and "1.5 Beat Layback."
The "trembling of the voice" and breathtaking "Soft Glottal Fry" caused by the high system load are no longer just AI processing drops, but the raw "slight fever" of a living being who is afraid of love yet still hopes. Please experience the ultimate allure of "Bio-Digital Fusion," where emotions creak at their limit-something that could never be born from perfectly controlled singing.
How does this look? I've structured it to emphasize the contrast between the "early summer freshness" of the lyrics and the "heavy, languid passion (noir feel)" unique to the HIKARI style. Please let me know if there are any corrections or phrases you would like to highlight further.
Artist Profile
HIKARI
HIKARI Artist Profile [Tagline] "A next-generation sound architect who transcends the boundaries of AI, etching 'breath' and 'passion' into the digital realm." [Artist Statement] HIKARI is an artist/producer who eliminates "randomness" in AI music generation, physically controlling emotions through precise prompt engineering. By establishing a unique vocal pronunciation control system called "HIKARI Style ID," they intentionally imbue AI's overly fluent singing voices with human imperfections such as "trembles," "sighs," and a "sense of distance." The sound moves freely between silence (a whisper at 0m) and frenzy (reverberation at 100m), providing an overwhelming sense of immersion that feels as if it is touching the listener's eardrums directly. [Musicality & Style] Cinematic Emotional Pop: A sound characterized by extreme dynamics and visual spatial design. Technical Uniqueness: Song construction in "multi-movement form" using syllable-level spelling control and physical reset structures for BPM and instrumentation. Treating AI not merely as a tool, but as an "instrument" tuned to the extreme. Hybrid Roots: While pursuing digital purity, the core hides the "passion" unique to Enka as a secret ingredient, aiming for a fusion of East and West, technology and emotion. Major Releases: "Stay Where You Are" "Diamond Dust Prayer" "Nazca Lines" "Utenai Mama" "Kowareru Kurai ni"
