Isolate

Akinobu Nishihara

死にそうなくらい

失い尽くした夜には

あなたならどんな願いを抱く?

帰る家の無い子供の様に

解決しきれない重荷を背負って

限りある人生に

折り合いをつけながら

正しさすら何なのか

判らなくなるような

あぁこんな夜は

頭と心が離ればなれになって

ただ響く秒針の数だけ

肌寒さが深まって…

限りある人生に

折り合いをつけながら

山積みの問題に

眠れなくなるような

あぁこんな夜は

この部屋が世界と切り離された様で

あの眩しい日々達も塗り潰す

ようこそ僕らの長い夜

歓迎するよ

ようこそ

"A melody that illuminates the darkness of the heart-
a sound that unlocks the soul and leads you back to yourself."
later., the long-awaited album by sonic poet Akinobu Nishihara, unfolds as a luminous journey through flickering shadows and fleeting light.
Here, shimmering textures and lyrical depth converge across twelve tracks-including newly reimagined versions of beloved songs "Weather Report"and "Daybreak", as well as the haunting new piece "Monochrome."
With melodies as fragile as glass and sharp as truth, this album captures a world suspended between solitude and hope.
The deluxe pre-release edition, presented as an experiential artwork transcending conventional music, sold out immediately.
More than an album-later. is an encounter. One that lingers, long after the music fades.
