Kitsunebi no Enishi
Single2026
"Kitsunebi no Enishi" (The Foxfire Bond) is a mystical Japanese-style fantasy track that tells the tale of an encounter with a white fox in a moonlit forest. Featuring a mist-shrouded torii gate, soft moonlight, and faintly swaying foxfire, the song captures the journey of a lonely heart gradually finding warmth through this mysterious connection. Gentle, dreamlike melodies weave over traditional Japanese instrumentation, evoking the delicate resonance of the koto, shinobue, shakuhachi, and kagura bells. I hope this song serves as a guardian flame, gently bringing comfort and warmth to your heart.

Lyrics (Japanese)
霧の小道を抜けた先
古い鳥居が月を抱く
鈴の音ひとつ夜に溶け
白いキツネが振り返る
何も言わないその瞳
凍った心をほどいてく
狐火 ゆらり ゆらり
闇に咲く淡い光
失くした声を救うように
君は静かにそばにいる
狐火 ほろり ほろり
夜が優しく変わってゆく
社殿の影に眠る風
遠い祈りが耳を撫でる
君の足跡たどるたび
昔の傷が薄れてく
明けの霞が立つころに
白い姿は霧に溶けた
狐火 ゆらり ゆらり
心に灯る守り火
出会えたことが幻でも
ぬくもりだけは消えないよ
狐火 ほろり ほろり
私はそっと歩き出す
Translation
Past the misty path I wandered through
an ancient gate cradles the moon
a single bell note melts into the night
a white fox turns its head to me
Those eyes that never say a word
unravel the ice around my heart
Foxfire flickers, soft and slow
a pale glow blooming in the dark
as if to save the voice I lost
you stay so quietly by my side
Foxfire trembles, light as tears
the night is gently turning kind
A wind asleep in the shrine's deep shade
a distant prayer brushes past my ear
each time I trace the steps you left
the old wounds slowly fade away
When the dawn's first haze begins to rise
your white form dissolved into the mist
Foxfire flickers, soft and slow
a guardian flame lit in my chest
even if our meeting was a dream
this warmth alone will never fade
Foxfire trembles, light as tears
and quietly I start to walk
