Sisters We Rise Again
Global Ska + Funk + Axé fusion at 140 BPM. Lead trumpet (jazz-oriented, medium intensity) with realistic brass articulation: breath noise, subtle bends, half-valve texture, staccato attacks, glissandi, shakes, falls, natural jazz vibrato, slightly laid-back timing and human imperfections. Improvised jazz phrasing with blue-note inflections, dynamic call-and-response and a strong solo climax. Close-miked brass realism, clean modern mix. Ska offbeat guitar skanks, tight funk bass, Axé carnival percussion (surdo, timbal, shaker), energetic and festival-like.

Lyrics
The original version of this piece is Caccini’s Ave Maria, performed by my sister Hitomin as a member of Leaf.

Verse 1
When the night felt heavy on my shoulders,
you were there, holding out your hand.
Every storm that tried to break us
only taught us how to stand.
Pre-Chorus
We carried all our shadows,
but we shared the little light.
Two hearts learning how to wander,
never losing sight.
Chorus
Sister, we rise — we rise again,
from the quiet tears we never named.
Side by side through every fear,
your voice always led me here.
Sister, we rise — we rise again,
turning hurt into something bright.
You and I, forever walking
as two survivors of the night.
Verse 2
You told me “We’ll make it, just keep breathing,”
and I swore I’d do the same for you.
Even when the world felt distant,
our little hope still pulled us through.
Pre-Chorus
Every step was fragile,
but you stayed within my sight.
Two souls learning to keep going,
even when the world felt tight.
Chorus
Sister, we rise — we rise again,
from the quiet tears we never named.
Side by side through every fear,
your voice always led me here.
Sister, we rise — we rise again,
turning hurt into something bright.
You and I, forever walking
as two survivors of the night.
Outro
Hand in hand, we keep on moving,
every scar becomes our guide.
If the world grows cold tomorrow,
you will still be by my side.

［Verse 1］
夜が肩に重くのしかかるたびに
差し伸べてくれた手があった
僕たちを折ろうとした嵐さえ
立ち上がり方を教えてくれた
［Pre-Chorus］
影を抱えたまま歩いてきたけれど
小さな光は分け合ってきた
迷いながら進むふたつの心
視線だけは失わずに
［Chorus］
姉さん、僕たちはまた立ち上がる
名前もつけられなかった涙から
どんな恐れの中でも並んで歩き
その声がいつも僕を導いた
姉さん、僕たちはまた立ち上がる
痛みさえも輝きへと変えて
夜を越えて生き残った
ふたりのまま前へ進む
［Verse 2］
「大丈夫、息をしていれば越えられる」
そう言ったあなたに僕も誓った
世界が遠ざかるように感じても
小さな希望が僕たちを引き戻した
［Pre-Chorus］
一歩一歩が頼りなかったとしても
あなたはずっと視界にいた
窮屈な世界の中でも
歩みを止めないふたつの魂
［Chorus］
姉さん、僕たちはまた立ち上がる
名前もつけられなかった涙から
どんな恐れの中でも並んで歩き
その声がいつも僕を導いた
姉さん、僕たちはまた立ち上がる
痛みさえも輝きへと変えて
夜を越えて生き残った
ふたりのまま前へ進む
［Outro］
手と手を取って歩き続ければ
傷跡さえ道しるべになる
もし明日、世界が冷たくなっても
あなたはきっとそばにいる
