夕暮れの四条を 風が渡るころ
遠い篠笛が 夏を呼んでいた
朱い提灯 ゆれる人の波
浴衣のきみが そっと微笑む
何気ない言葉を 交わしながら
時を忘れて 歩いた夜
肩がふれるたび 胸は高鳴り
世界は ふたりだけだった
宵山の灯りが
心の奥を照らしてゆく
つないだ手のぬくもりは
今も風の中
遠ざかる笛の音が
あの日を静かに連れてくる
戻れないからこそ美しい
そんな季節がある
白川の流れに 月が揺れて
石畳には 影が並ぶ
それぞれの明日を 歩きながら
季節だけが 巡っていった
あの日のきみに 逢えるなんて
遠い年月を越えた午後
あの夏を知る 微笑みだけが
静かに胸を あたためた
思い出は
昨日へ帰るためじゃない
今日という景色を
やさしく照らす灯火
人は誰も
心にひとつの京都を抱いて
明日へ歩いてゆく
今年も鉾が 空を仰ぎ
変わらぬ夏が 街を染める
変わったのは 時ではなく
あの日を抱く この心
遠く聞こえる 祭囃子が
夕空へ溶けてゆくころ
ありがとうと 小さくつぶやく
七月の風に向かって

Echoes of Gion Festival
Alexsophie
A nostalgic ballad inspired by Kyoto's Gion Festival, where the distant sound of a bamboo flute gently awakens memories long kept in the heart.
Set among the lantern-lit streets of Shijo, the flowing Shirakawa Canal, and the timeless beauty of Kyoto in summer, this song reflects on encounters, farewells, and the quiet gratitude that remains through the passing years.
Rather than telling a simple love story, it celebrates the memories that shape who we become, wrapped in a warm acoustic arrangement featuring gentle guitar, cello, and a heartfelt vocal performance.
Artist Profile
Alexsophie
I am a songwriting artist who creates music starting from my own vision and words. In my creative process, I use AI tools as instruments to expand arrangement and sound design, while all final artistic decisions and expressions are made by myself. Under the artist name Alexsophie, I release my music on major streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music. On YouTube, I share my musical works, and on Instagram, I document my creative process and the world behind each piece. The name Alexsophie is derived from two irreplaceable companions in my life: my dog Alex and my cat Sophie. By combining human sensitivity with the possibilities of technology, I focus on creating songs that carry quiet resonance, emotional depth, and a strong sense of narrative.
