日本語の歌詞と説明は下にあります English Lyrics — “ASAGAO” [Verse 1] I wake to a favorite song and turn on the light in my still-dark room. Looking in the mirror, I gather my hair with one hand. When I open the curtains, the ASAGAO on the balcony is already halfway unfurled. [Pre-Chorus] Outside, the birds have begun to sing, and color is slowly spreading from the edge of the sky. [Chorus 1] Like ASAGAO coming into bloom, the world begins to wake. It comes on its own. Today’s sunlight is here for the flowers that bloom today. [Verse 2] I walk down the still-dark hill toward the station. One by one, the streetlights begin to fade. Only the sky above the sea is growing brighter. Little by little, the shape of summer comes into view. [Pre-Chorus] Color descends upon the streets, and some of it reaches me too. [Chorus 2] Like ASAGAO coming into bloom, the world begins to fill with color. It comes on its own. Today’s sunlight is here for the flowers that bloom today. [Outro] Like ASAGAO slowly in bloom, everything fills with color. It comes on its own. Today’s sunlight is here for the flowers that bloom today. Like ASAGAO coming into bloom, it comes on its own. Like ASAGAO coming into bloom, it comes, and everything has color. Today’s sunlight is here for the flowers that bloom today. “ASAGAO” portrays a summer morning as the darkness gradually gives way to light and color. The song begins in a still-dark room. The curtains open to reveal an Asagao—Japanese morning glory—on the balcony, already halfway unfurled. Birds begin to sing, color spreads from the edge of the sky, the streetlights fade, and the shape of summer slowly comes into view above the sea. Asagao opens with the morning light and closes within the same day. That fleeting cycle lies at the heart of the song, especially in the line: “Today’s sunlight is here for the flowers that bloom today.” The sunlight of this morning is not saved for another day. It belongs to what blooms today. In the same way that an Asagao opens naturally to the light, the world wakes without being asked, gradually filling itself with color. As dawn brings color back to the world and the city slowly begins to move, “ASAGAO” captures the freshness of a summer morning through an indie rock sound. 「ASAGAO」 同じ曲で今日も目覚める まだ暗い部屋の灯りをつけ 鏡を見て片手で髪を束ねて カーテンを開けたらベランダの 朝顔が半分ほどけてる 外はもう鳥が鳴いて 空の端から色がついていく 朝顔が咲くように 世界が起きていく It comes on its own 今日の光は今日の花を咲かすために まだ暗い坂を駅へ向かう 街灯がダンダンと消えていく 海のほうだけ空が明るくなってる 夏の輪郭がダンダンと見えてくる 色彩が街に降りてきて 私にも色が届けられる 朝顔が咲くように 世界に色がついていく It comes on its own 今日の光は今日の花を咲かすために Like Asagao slowly in bloom, everything fills with color It comes on its own Today’s sunlight is for Asagao blooming today 朝顔が咲くように It comes on its own 朝顔が咲くように It comes and everything has color 今日の光は今日の花を咲かすために 「ASAGAO」は、夜明けとともに少しずつ世界に色が戻っていく、夏の朝を描いた曲です。 まだ暗い部屋で目を覚まし、カーテンを開けると、ベランダの朝顔が半分ほどけている。外では鳥が鳴き始め、空の端から色がつき、駅へ向かう頃には街灯が消え、海のほうから夏の輪郭が見えてくる。 朝顔は朝の光を受けて開き、その日のうちに閉じていきます。 だからこの曲では、「今日の光は今日の花を咲かすために」という言葉を中心に置きました。 今日差す陽光は、いつかのために蓄えておくものではなく、今日咲く花のために使われる。 朝顔が自然に開いていくように、世界もまた、誰かに求められることなく目を覚まし、色を取り戻していく。 夜明けとともに世界が色づき、街が少しずつ動き始める夏の朝。その瑞々しい感覚を、インディーロックのサウンドで描いた一曲です。
