深い赤に灰色と黒が混ざり合い暗さ増してく空に
今かすかな風を纏い
この長い夜を導いていく様な月明かりが照らす
そう眺め続けていた
世界が止まってしまった風景を
今暁を待つこともなく歩み出す
心の声に誘われるままに
解き放て 今夜は抜け出して光の射す方へ
絡み合うどんな運命だって全部消し去って
重ねた痛みの日々だって生まれ変わるような
新しい未来掴むようなそんな夜明け前
この手を何度でも伸ばして開かれた明日へ
確かに抱いていた願いを今目覚めさせて
変わらない悲しみの日々が終わり告げるような
懐かしい記憶に触れたような
そんな夜に誓う歌
失うことのない未来選んでいても
答えを見つけ出す事は出来なかった
立ち止まったあの時間たちも意味を持って
無駄じゃなかった
闇を裂いて
行こう
この手を何度でも伸ばして開かれた明日へ
確かに抱いていた願いを今目覚めさせて
変わらない悲しみの日々が終わり告げるような
懐かしい記憶に触れたような
そんな夜に誓う歌
さぁ！光を呼ぶように
さあ！光を呼ぶように

"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.
