- Title:
Silkscreen / シルクスクリーン

- Introduction:
This time, I wrote a song about a special purchase. "Do you really mean it—you want a piece of art?" We visit a gallery to see a silkscreen print we chose together.
今回は特別な買い物の曲を書きました。記念に絵が欲しいって本気なの？二人で選んだシルクスクリーン(版画)を見に画廊を訪ねます。

- Lyrics: (Japanese. English is next below)
[Verse]
大雨かき消すカーラジオ
撥水(はっすい)ウィンドコーティング
踊る雨粒フロントガラス
御堂筋照らす街灯(まちあかり)

[Verse]
赤信号でも途切れなく
傘で溢れる広い歩道
細い路地の奥　押す扉
背中に雨音　遠ざかり

[Pre-chorus]
画廊照らす間接光
浴びるスポット　パリツアー

[Chorus]
腰まで届くロングヘア―
意表突かれる笑み浮かべ
まるで不思議の国のお店
シルクスクリーンに見惚れて

[Interlude]

[Verse]
記念だったら絵が欲しい
それって本気で言ってるの？
絵画や花瓶　買ってみたい
カタチに残る物がいいの

[Verse]
気になりますか？　額のキズ
事前に聞いてた　額のキズ
隣になびくスーパーロング
どれがキズかも分かりませんよ

[Pre-chorus]
柔らかな灯り琥珀色
Bateaux Mouches Paris Tour (*1)
(バトー・ムシュー・パリツアー)

[Chorus]
腰に広がるロングヘア―
意表突かれる笑み浮かべ
まるで不思議の国のお店
スーパーロングに見惚れて

- Lyrics: (English)
[Verse]
The car radio drowned out by heavy rain,
water-repellent glass coating the windshield.
Raindrops dancing across the front glass,
city lights glowing along Midosuji.

[Verse]
Even at red lights, but the crowd never stops,
a wide sidewalk filled with umbrellas.
Through a narrow alley, pushing open a door,
the sound of rain fades behind us.

[Pre-Chorus]
Soft indirect light fills the gallery,
spotlights falling on a Paris tour scene.

[Chorus]
Your long hair falling to your waist,
a sudden smile catching me off guard.
Like stepping into a wonderland shop,
lost in the silkscreen before us.

[Interlude]

[Verse]
"If it's something to remember, I want a painting."
"Wait… you really mean that?"
I'd like to try buying art, or maybe a vase—
something we can keep, something that stays.

[Verse]
"Does the scratch on the frame bother you?"
You'd mentioned it before—the flaw in the frame.
Your super-long hair sways beside it,
I can't even tell where the scratch is anymore.

[Pre-Chorus]
A soft amber glow surrounds us,
Bateaux Mouches Paris Tour.

[Chorus]
Your long hair spreading past your waist,
a smile I didn't expect.
Like a shop from another world,
I'm lost in your flowing hair.
