Even If It's Just My Imagination

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.
