Beyond The Latern LIghts

🎶 There’s moment, just after the festival end, when everything feels suspended. The laughter fades, the drums fall silent, and all that’s left is the hum of the river and the soft glow of lanterns swaying in the warm night breeze. That’s where “Beyond The Lantern Lights” begins.

Built around Sling Dilly’s gentle lofi textures and the intimate, wandering tones of LEO’s koto, recorded late at night in our Tokyo studio, this track drifts like a memory. It doesn’t ask for attention, it invites you to sit still for a second. To feel the heat of the day dissolve into dusk. To remember the beauty in the quiet that follows joy. It’s a song for that tender space between moments, somewhere between nostalgia and peace.

🎶祭りが終わった直後、すべてが宙に浮いたような瞬間が訪れる。笑い声が消え、太鼓の音が静まり、残るのは川のせせらぎと、温かい夜風に揺れる提灯の柔らかな光だけ。それが『Beyond The Lantern Lights』の始まりだ。

Sling Dillyの優しいローファイなテクスチャーと、LEOの箏が奏でる親密で淡い旋律を軸に、東京のスタジオで深夜に録音されたこのトラックは、記憶のように漂う。それは注目を集めるのではなく、一瞬だけ静かに座るように誘われ、日の熱が夕暮れに溶けていくのを感じ、喜びの後に訪れる静けさの中の美しさを思い出すためかのように。これは、懐かしさと平和の間の、その繊細な瞬間のための曲です。
