Melody of Kamikakushi
Single2026
Shadows swaying in a misty shrine, the sound of a bell unraveling and fading away. The more you call their name, the further they drift—yet you try to call them back with prayer and song. Featuring an untouchable melody, an upside-down sky, and a door hidden in the gap between blinks, the story describes how the sacred invocation is swallowed by shadows and tears make no sound. Even so, one refuses to let go of the light, resolving to retie the unraveled threads of fate in this traditional Japanese-style fantasy narrative.

Lyrics (Japanese)
鈴の音 ほどけて消える
名前を呼ぶほど 遠くなる
霧の社 影が揺れて
足音だけが 連れていく
祈るほどに 近づく闇
ひかりは細く 震えてる
聞こえる 触れられない旋律
掌に 乗らない温度
戻り道は 目を伏せたまま
思い出だけ 透けていく
神隠しの調べ
胸の奥をほどく
消えない願いだけが
夜を渡る灯
神隠しの調べ
あなたの名をなぞる
帰れないならせめて
祈りを連れて
水面にも 逆さの空
笑い声だけ 置いてある
結び目ほどく 指先が
まだ現の熱を持つ
答えは たぶん静けさの中
瞬きの隙間の扉
手を合わせる その一秒で
世界が少し 反転する
祝詞は 影に吸われ
涙は 音にならない
それでも私は ここで歌う
あなたを戻すため
神隠しの調べ
闇の奥へ届け
ほどけた運命の糸を
結び直せ
神隠しの調べ
最後に残る灯
消える瞬間まで
祈り続ける
Translation
A bell's soft ring unravels and fades
The more I call your name, the farther you drift
In the misty shrine, a shadow sways
Only the footsteps lead me away
The more I pray, the closer the darkness draws
The light grows thin, trembling low
I hear a melody I cannot touch
A warmth that will not rest in my palm
The way back keeps its eyes cast down
Only the memories turn translucent and fade
Melody of Kamikakushi
Unwinding deep within my chest
Only this wish that will not die
Becomes the light that crosses the night
Melody of Kamikakushi
Tracing the letters of your name
If I cannot return, then at least
Let this prayer go with you
On the water's surface, an upside-down sky
Only the laughter is left behind
The fingertips that loosen every knot
Still hold the warmth of the living world
The answer lies perhaps inside the silence
A door within the gap of a blink
In that single second when I press my palms together
The world turns over just a little
The sacred invocation is swallowed by shadows
Tears cannot make a sound
And yet, I stand right here and sing
To bring you back to me
Melody of Kamikakushi
Reach deep into the darkness
The thread of fate that came undone
I will tie it back together once more
Melody of Kamikakushi
The last lamp left to burn
Until the very moment it goes out
I will keep on praying
