STORY

"Phantom Promotion" is a dreamlike track inspired by nighttime neon, pale soft light, and the border between dreams and reality. Into its mysterious, grown-up atmosphere, I poured the feeling of a wish that had been sleeping deep in the heart slowly coming awake. In the lyrics, I portray the hopeful resolve to choose your own future rather than wait to be chosen by someone else. Where its dreamlike world meets a sweet, quiet R&B sound, this is a completely original song I want to share with anyone who wants to sink slowly into music at night.

Lyrics (Japanese)

Translation

夜のショーウィンドウにOn a shop window at night

淡い光が落ちてa pale light comes to rest

名前のない予感だけonly a nameless premonition

胸の奥で目を覚ますwakes deep inside my chest

ガラス越しの街角でAt a street corner seen through glass

誰かの夢が流れるsomeone else's dream drifts by

触れたら消えそうな広告がan ad that looks like it would vanish at a touch

私をそっと呼んでいるis softly calling out to me

滲むネオンに隠した願いA wish I hid inside the blurring neon

目を閉じれば香り立つrises like a scent the moment I close my eyes

まだ知らない扉の向こうへtoward a door I don't yet know

心がほどけていくmy heart comes gently undone

魅せて 魅せて 幻のプロモーションDazzle me, dazzle me, phantom promotion

甘い影が胸を満たすa sweet shadow fills my chest

揺れて 揺れて 秘密の招待状sway, sway, a secret invitation

今夜だけは信じてみたいtonight, just for tonight, I want to believe

夢より深い この光をin this light deeper than any dream

古いピアノの音がThe sound of an old piano

夜風に溶けて揺れるmelts and sways into the night wind

胸に貼った透明なポスターa transparent poster pinned over my heart

欲しかった未来を映すreflects the future I once longed for

誰にも言えない期待A hope I can't tell anyone

綺麗な嘘に似てるlooks a lot like a beautiful lie

だけどその奥で本当の私yet deep beneath it, the real me

静かに笑っているis quietly smiling

選ばれるのを待つだけじゃなくNot just waiting to be chosen—

選びたい この瞬間をI want to choose, this very moment

広告みたいな言葉でもeven words that sound like an ad

私の未来に変えてみせるI'll turn into a future of my own

映して 映して 幻のプロモーションShow me, show me, phantom promotion

眠る願いを照らし出してshine a light on the wish that sleeps

揺れて 揺れて 秘密の招待状sway, sway, a secret invitation

心まで染めていくit dyes me through to the heart

今だけじゃない 明日へ続くnot only for now—it carries on to tomorrow

私だけの光になるbecoming a light that is mine alone

最後のサインが瞬いてThe final sign flickers to life

静かに夢が始まるand quietly the dream begins
