懐かしい日々 - 灯
This J-pop ballad opens with delicate acoustic guitar arpeggios and soft piano, creating a bittersweet, airy intro. Whispery, expressive soft female vocals blend over subtle, slow percussion. The chorus blooms with warm, lush strings, expanding the harmonies and amplifying emotional intensity.

懐かしい日々 - 灯
古いアルバム 微笑む顔
ほこりの中に 残る記憶
秋の木漏れ日 揺れる影
小さな瞬間 輝いてたね
壊れかけの 自転車で
風を切って 夢を追ってた
誰もいない 遊園地に
響いていた 君の笑い声
静かな日々が恋しいね
忙しさに飲まれる前
時はどこへ消えたのだろう
手のひらから こぼれる光
観覧車で空を登り
星に願いをかけた夜
今は誰も空を見ない
季節さえも感じない
でも心の中 君は今も
あの日のまま 輝いてる
曇った窓に 夢を描き
朝の慌ただしさに消えた
紙の灯りの下で話した
永遠なんて知らなかった
古い木の幹 刻んだ名前
夜の公園 静まり返る
葉っぱは今も 舞ってるけど
誰もその美しさ見ない
雨の匂い 覚えてる？
何もかも感じてた頃
時はどこへ消えたのだろう
壊れかけたメロディみたい
星空見上げ 手を伸ばし
心だけはまっすぐだった
今は日々を流すだけ
名前さえも呼ばれない
でも心の中 君は今も
モノクロでも 輝いてる
いつかまた帰れるかな
始まりの道に立って
秋の光 揺れる中で
もう一度 深呼吸しよう
時はどこへ消えたのだろう
意味も知らず 願った日々
月を追って走ってたね
色あせても 消えはしない
振り返れば 風の中に
あの日の声 聞こえるよ
心の奥で今もずっと
忘れかけた時間抱いてる

English translation:
The Days I Miss - Akari
A smile in an old photo album
Memories remain in the dust
Sunlight through autumn trees
Those little moments used to shine
On a worn-out bike, we chased dreams
Cutting through the wind, so free
In an empty amusement park
Your laughter still echoed there
I miss those quiet days
Before the rush swallowed everything
Where did the time disappear to?
Light slipping from our hands
We rode the ferris wheel into the sky
Made wishes on stars at night
Now no one even looks up
Can't feel the seasons anymore
But in my heart, you still shine
Just like you did back then
We drew our dreams on fogged-up glass
But mornings washed them away
We talked beneath paper lanterns
Not knowing what “forever” meant
Carved our names in an old tree’s bark
The park at night now only silence
Leaves still fall like they used to
But no one watches their beauty
Do you remember the smell of rain?
When we felt everything so deeply?
Where did the time disappear to?
Like melodies falling apart
We reached out to star-filled skies
With nothing to guard our hearts
Now the days just drift along
Even names are left unspoken
But in my heart, you still shine
Even in black and white
Maybe one day we’ll go back
To where everything first began
Among the dancing autumn light
We’ll learn to breathe again
Where did the time disappear to?
Wishing without knowing why
We chased the moon in our youth
Faded colors still don’t die
If you look back, you’ll hear it too—
Your voice carried in the breeze
Deep in my heart, I’m still holding on
To the time we almost forgot
