Word spirit

Single2026年

On a night you feel about to be swallowed by the dark, a single word can change the world. "Word spirit" is a Japanese-style ballad that draws on the ancient Japanese sense that words hold power, carried on a mysterious, dark Japanese atmosphere. An unlit alley, the lingering ring of a bell, unease spreading like bleeding ink. While facing the "unseen chains" that cling to weakness, it's a story of steadying your breath, opening your eyes, and calling yourself back. The repeated "say it, say it, say it" in the chorus is a signal to cut through hesitation—a spell to release the true feelings sleeping deep in your heart. Salvation and sin alike return to you in the words you speak. And so, as a mark of having no way out, you choose your words and say them outright. Right down to a single bell ringing in the stillness, it's a song that leaves behind resonance and resolve.

Lyrics (Japanese)

息を吸う　夜が薄く笑う吐く息が　影を縫い留める灯りのない　鈴音の余韻祈りのふりした噂がまとわりつく守れなかった約束の名を胸の奥で　何度も書き直すひと文字で　世界はほどける弱さも強さも　声に宿るなら震える喉で　いま刻め逃げ道のない　私の印言霊　その一音で夜が裂ける言霊　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる救いも罪も　呼べば返る消えない　消せない　私の声言え　言え　言え言霊　影を縫え墨が滲むみたいに広がる不安見えない鎖が　指先まで絡む「もう無理だ」って言いかけた瞬間闇が嬉しそうに　近づいたでも知ってる　言葉は刃じゃない現実そのものを　形にするもの息を整え　目を開けて私を呼ぶ　ただそれだけ言霊　その一音で夜が裂ける言霊　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる救いも罪も　呼べば返る消えない　消せない　私の声言え　言え　言え言霊　影を縫え声は祈り　声は誓い誰かの明日を　ほどいて結ぶ傷も願いも　抱いたまま私は私を　名乗り直す言霊　その一音で夜が裂ける言霊　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる迷いの輪を　踏み越えていけ消えない　消せない　私の声言え　言え　言え言霊　希望を呼べ静けさに　鈴がひとつ言い切った言葉だけが　残る

Translation

I draw a breath as night smiles thin and pale Each breath I exhale stitches down the shadows No lantern glows, just a bell's lingering tone Rumors dressed as prayers come clinging to my skin The name of a promise I could not keep deep in my chest I rewrite it again and again With a single letter the whole world unravels If weakness and strength both live inside a voice then with a trembling throat I carve it now this mark of mine that leaves me no way out Word spirit, with one sound the night tears open Word spirit, the moment I speak it, fate leaps and turns Salvation and sin both answer when I call unfading, unerasable, this voice of mine Say it, say it, say it Word spirit, sew up the shadows Dread spreads out like ink bleeding through the page Unseen chains coil all the way to my fingertips The instant I began to whisper "I can't go on" the darkness drew near, almost delighted But I know now, words are not a blade they are what gives reality its very shape I steady my breath and open my eyes I call my own name, only that, nothing more Word spirit, with one sound the night tears open Word spirit, the moment I speak it, fate leaps and turns Salvation and sin both answer when I call unfading, unerasable, this voice of mine Say it, say it, say it Word spirit, sew up the shadows A voice is prayer, a voice is a vow unbinding someone's tomorrow then tying it anew Holding my wounds and my wishes close I rise and speak my own name once again Word spirit, with one sound the night tears open Word spirit, the moment I speak it, fate leaps and turns Step over the circle of doubt and walk on through unfading, unerasable, this voice of mine Say it, say it, say it Word spirit, call out the hope Into the stillness, a single bell rings and only the words I spoke for certain remain
