Tea Spell

Tea Spell is a mid tempo city pop track that portrays a love quietly folded away before it can be given a name.

In an office where serving tea makes her part of the scenery, one voice waits for her pen to catch up. That small gesture, a glimpse of him holding a child by the hand on a day off, and a cup of tea the following Monday create a quiet scene where feeling seen gives way to the ache of choosing a distance.

Performed by the fictional AI singer Akemi, the song captures the emotions of adulthood when attraction meets a boundary she chooses to respect. As casual talk of marriage seems to decide her future for her, she keeps the choice of how far to follow her feelings in her own hands.

Inspired by the late 1970s to early 1980s Japanese new music and city pop, the track reimagines that era through a modern portrait of working life, unspoken affection, and the private rituals that carry fragile feelings into another week.

On Monday morning, she tries to dissolve the feeling into the clear red of her tea, yet her fingertips tremble against the cool leather of a closed notebook. The spell she casts for herself leaves a trace of warmth as she returns to her own seat.
