TOKYO SNOW

Chao

今年も東京に 雪が降るのだろう

きっとまたシンシンと 雪が降るのだろう

東京をフワリと 雪で包み込むのだろう

白銀に染まる 長くは降らないだろう

一時の幻想 束の間の夢幻

そんな TOKYO SNOW

Oh snow, paint this stained and tainted Tokyo in pure, beautiful white

狭苦しいビルたち 張り巡ぐる道

庭のない家 進まない車たち

飾りで闇を隠す 偽物ばかりの街

外見は煌びやかでも 汚れ落ちてる街

そんな都心

こんなに狭いのに 集め過ぎて

もう詰まって 空気も淀む

人たちが溢れる

またサイレンの音が

響いて来た

スーツ姿で急ぎ足 歩幅を合わせて

同じ方向に進めば 安堵なのかい?

逆らう術すら持たず 水族館の魚のよう

働くのを辞めたなら 生きては行けないのか

この都は

こんなに窮屈で 地面は冷たい

アスファルト 温もりもなく

憎悪が滲み出てる

またサイレンの音が

聞こえて来た

今年も東京に 雪が降るのだろう

きっとまたシンシンと 雪が降るのだろう

東京をフワリと 雪で包み込むのだろう

白銀に染まる 長くは降らないだろう

一時の幻想 束の間の幻影

そんな TOKYO SNOW

Oh snow, paint this stained and tainted Tokyo in pure, beautiful white

忙しい東京を 休ませてくれ

雪のせいにして 休ませてくれ

積もる雪で この雑踏を

静めてくれ 雪よ

この降る雪の一粒一粒は

同じ形のない結晶

神秘で美しい結晶

手に取ると溶けてしまう

儚い結晶であって

それが積もっているのだと思うと

まるでこの街に集まる人々のようで

それぞれの命に思えて

少し切ない気持ちになる

いつか消えて無くなる

白い雪

今年も東京に 雪が降るのだろう

きっとまたシンシンと 雪が降るのだろう

東京をフワリと 雪で包み込むのだろう

白銀に染まる 長くは降らないだろう

一時の幻想 束の間の夢幻

そんな TOKYO SNOW

Oh snow, paint this stained and tainted Tokyo in pure, beautiful white

今年も東京に 雪が降るのだろう

きっとまたシンシンと 雪が降るのだろう

東京をフワリと 雪で包み込むのだろう

TOKYO SNOW

Oh snow, paint this stained and tainted Tokyo in pure, beautiful white

Artist Profile

  • Chao

    I used to play bass in a band, and for a while I was also the vocalist. We mainly performed original rock and punk songs. After the band broke up, I stopped making music for a long time. At the beginning of 2025, I encountered AI music generation while creating a theme song for an event, and that led me to start writing lyrics again. "I still prefer songs and music created by people over those generated by AI. I don't think that will ever change. However, starting a music career requires instruments, equipment, and technical knowledge, which always felt like a huge hurdle for me. With the arrival of generative AI, many of those barriers have been lowered. Of course, new challenges have come with it as well... but even so, I'm excited about the possibilities that this technology offers. That said, if I leave everything to AI, I don't feel any personal attachment to the songs, so I write all the lyrics myself." "As for songwriting, when I'm writing lyrics, I already see the song's imagery and hear the music in my head. That's why, once I finish writing the lyrics, I first create the jacket artwork based on that vision. After that, I use AI to generate the music that had been floating in my mind during the writing process, recreating it over and over again until it matches my image as closely as possible. Then, I fine-tune the details of the arrangement until I'm satisfied, and only then do I release the song." "Since the vocals are not human, sometimes the words come out in a strange or awkward way, and I find myself going, 'Huh? What did it just say?' But honestly, I think that's part of AI's current charm. I'm sure one day it will become flawless... but in a way, I think that might feel a little lonely."
