Lyric

The Spy in Off-the-Rack Suit (JA&ENG)

SHIONO, Twilight Master

Midnight rain washes the sins away

冷たいアスファルトに 吐き捨てた嘘

Just another gear in the machine, they say

ラングレーの暗闇で 錆びついた心(ハート)

I traded my name for a classified file

名もなき影として 生きる日々の果てに

Where does the agent end, and the human begin?

鏡の中の俺は 一体誰なんだ?

I wear this off-the-rack suit tonight

安物の布地に 染みついた硝煙(スモーク)

Not a hero, not a ghost, just fighting the fight

魂まで機械(システム)に 売り渡しちゃいないさ

A silver revolver, a shot of old scotch

恩師(アンタ)の血を拭い 飲み干すブルース

I'm just a broken man, walking in the dark

The weight of the gun in my wounded hand

引き金を引いたのは 個人の正義(ジャスティス)

A dirty secret buried in a promised land

国家(くに)の大義なんて もう信じちゃいない

We kill the ones we trust to keep the peace

終わらない騙し合い 出口のない迷路

You taught me how to live, I taught you how to die

オヤジ、あんたの教えを 俺は左手で撃ち抜いた

I wear this off-the-rack suit tonight

安物の布地に 染みついた硝煙(スモーク)

Not a hero, not a ghost, just fighting the fight

魂まで機械(システム)に 売り渡しちゃいないさ

A silver revolver, a shot of old scotch

恩師(アンタ)の血を拭い 飲み干すブルース

I'm just a broken man, walking in the dark

No medals on my chest, no glory in the end

歴史の裏側で 消えゆく足跡

All I got is a phone booth, calling my best friend

雨のダイナーから 君にかける電話

"I'll be late for dinner..." That's all I can say

冷めたミートローフが 俺の帰る場所

Keep the light on, darling... I'm coming home

ただの「男」に 戻るための帰路(みち)

Yeah... off-the-rack suit, cold city rain

許してくれとは言わない。ただ、少し疲れたよ。

    The Spy in Off-the-Rack Suit (JA&ENG)

    SHIONO, Twilight Master

Living as a gear in the machine, pulling the trigger as a man.
The scent of gunpowder on an off-the-rack suit, and a blues for the long walk home.

Step into the shadows of Twilight Master's neo-noir mystery, Millennium Optics: The US Profiling of Rintaro Kadowaki, with its most melancholic character theme song yet: "The Spy in Off-the-Rack Suit".

Novel: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/2912051607953848972

Featuring a mournful saxophone and a gravelly, soulful vocal, this authentic 90s noir blues track perfectly blends hardboiled English rhymes with deep, emotional Japanese lyricism. It captures the tragic essence of Agent Smith-a veteran CIA operative who executes his mentor for his own sense of justice, holding onto his humanity just to return to a cold meatloaf and his waiting wife.

"Not a hero, not a ghost... just a broken man walking in the dark."
A cinematic, sorrowful anthem for the unsung hounds of the deep state.
