Newl Release
Now available on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music...
Introducing “Magnolia” (JP Remix Ver.), now infused with new flamenco guitar elements that deepen its profound melancholy.
Serving as a signature piece of “Poetic Resilience,” this track serves as a poignant tribute to the artist’s late parents. It beautifully and heartbreakingly sings of “Enishi”—the invisible karmic ties that bind people across time and space.
Now that the collective “single sphere of time” as a family has come to an end, will you be reborn once more to reweave those eternal ties?
May this song find a special, lasting place in your heart…
Lyrics
父がいて
母がいて
満ち足りた日々
What blissful days
Hmmm
二人が植えたマグノリア
もう2階の屋根に届いてる
増え続けてたアルバムの数
小さな絵入りの茶碗
半ズボンと手編みのセーター
僕たちだけが分かち合う記憶
捨てられないよ
二人はそろってそうつぶやいた
Hmmm
やがて父がいなくなり
幸せについて
母と語らう
微笑んだまま
うつむいたね
そして母がいなくなり
西の空を
見上げた午後
たなびいてくけむり hmm
幸せだったのか
あなたたちは
まだ伝えたりないことはあったのか
まだ記憶を残してるのか
また出会えるのか
あなたたちと
Hmmm
終わったんだね
一つの時間のかたまりが
Uhh
終わっちゃったんだね
All dharmas bear the mark of emptiness
They neither arise nor cease
Therefore there is no body no mind
There is neither old age and death
Nor the ending of old age and death
幸せだったのか
あなたたちは
まだ伝えたりないことはあったのか
まだ記憶を残してるのか
いつかまた
生まれ変わってくるのか
そしてまた
ふたりめぐり会うのか
Uhh ahh
終わったんだね
一つの時間のかたまりが
Uhhh
終わっちゃったんだね
Ahhh
Uhhh ahhh
終わったんだね
一つの時間のかたまりが
Hmm
終わっちゃったんだね
Lyrics in English
Father was there
Mother was there
Days full quietly complete
What blissful days
Hmmm
The magnolia tree they planted back then
Now reaches all the way up to the second-floor roof
The growing stack of photo albums
A tiny rice bowl with a little drawing
Short pants, and a hand-knitted sweater
Memories shared only by the three of us
I just can’t bring myself to throw them away
They both murmured in unison,
Hmm uhh
Before long Father was gone
Sitting with Mother
We talked about what happiness truly means
With a gentle smile on her face
She cast her eyes down
Then Mother was gone too
On an afternoon
Looking up at the western sky
A trail of smoke slowly drifted away hmm…
Were you truly happy
The two of you
Was there anything left
You still wanted to say
Do you still hold onto
Those precious memories
Will I ever get to see you again
The two of you? Hmm, ahh
It is over now isn’t it
That whole chunk of time we spent together
Uh
It’s really over now
All dharmas bear the mark of emptiness
They neither arise nor cease
Therefore, there is no body, no mind
There is neither old age and death
nor the ending of old age and death
Were you truly happy
The two of you
Was there anything left
You still wanted to say
Do you still hold onto
Those precious memories
Will you be reborn again
Someday, somewhere
And will you two
Find each other once more?
Ahh, Uhh
It is over now isn’t it
That whole chunk of time we spent together
Hmm
It’s really over now
It’s really over now
Lyrics
The vastness of what we lose oh
The weight of what we gain uh
Who are you
From what lifetime did you find me eh
I longed to know where you had been
So I kept searching deep within your eyes
Fell in love at the very first sight
Your hand just a little smaller than mine
I thought I would hold it through every passing lifetime
Until time itself grew old uh
Even the flowers along the path once felt so dear to me
The morning light broke into particles and poured across the world
I was dreaming an endless dream
If it was always meant to be taken away why was it given at all
Across the twilight of Shinobazu Pond the cries of ducks echoed on the water
And woke me from that endless dream
My friend oh I will keep walking to find that answer
Along a road far longer than any I have known before
The vastness of what we lose
The weight of what we gain
You know I got completely lost in this endless universe
The mothership has already vanished far from my sight
There is no way to return to those innocent days before we ever found each other
This quiet despair this sense of loss will stay with me for the rest of my life
The vastness of what we lose oh
The weight of what we gain uh
What is selfless love I never stopped to question it ah
It was simply there too natural to doubt
A bond beyond reason brass bound all naming
And painfully so a love that only gives never asking
Quiet and without asking beyond all measure
There is nothing in this world more precious than this uh
(repeat twice)
Even the flowers along the path feel dear to me
Morning light scatters into particles and falls across the world
I want to keep dreaming this endless dream
But if it will all be taken someday why was it given at all
Across the twilight of Shinobazu Pond the ducks call out across the water
They pull me back from that endless dream
My friend oh I will keep walking to find that answer
On a road far longer than any I have known before
The vastness of what we lose
The weight of what we gain
Lyrics
失うものの大きさよ
得るものの重さよ
Hmm
君は誰なのか
どこにいたのか知りたくて eh
ずっと見つめた瞳の奥
Fell in love at the very first sight
一回り小さな手
皺になるまで握っていると
そう思ってた uh
畔に咲く花さえ愛しくて
朝陽は粒子となって
世界に降り注いだ
永遠の夢を見ていたのか
やがて奪うのならば
なぜ与えたのだろう
黄昏の不忍の池もにわたる
鴨のこえ
永遠の夢より醒むる
友よ ooh
僕はその答えを見つけるために
これから歩いて いくんだろう
今までよりずっとずっと長い道のりを
失うものの大きさを
得るものの重さを
You know I got totally lost in this entire universe
The mothership has already gone far out of my sight
No way to rewind our time to those ignorant days before we got to know each other
This despair and a sense of deprivation will last till the end of my life
Hm hm
失うものの大きさよ hm
得るものの重さよ
Hmm
親愛とは何か
考えたこともなかった
当たり前すぎた愛のかたち
Eternal connection beyond logic
それは悲しいほどに
かけがえのない与えるだけの思い
世界にこれ以上大切な
存在はない uh
畔に咲く花さえ愛しくて
朝陽は粒子となって
世界に降り注いだ
永遠の夢を見ていたい
やがて奪うのならば
なぜ与えたのだろう oh
黄昏の不忍の池もにわたる
鴨のこえ
永遠の夢より醒むる
友よ
僕はその答えを見つけるために
これから歩いて いくんだろう
今までよりずっとずっと長い道のりを
失うものの大きさを
得るものの重さを
Hmm
畔に咲く花さえ愛しくて ah
朝陽は粒子となって
世界に降り注いだ ah
永遠の夢を見ていたい
やがて奪うのならば
なぜ与えたのだろう
黄昏の不忍の池もにわたる
鴨のこえ
永遠の夢より醒むる
友よ
僕はその答えを見つけるために
これから歩いて いくんだろう
今までよりずっとずっと長い道のりを
失うものの大きさを
得るものの重さを
