How Do You Feel About It?


Ok

Good

Sad

Angry

Fun




In February, with a timely browsing of my favorite "H" magazine, a friend and I went to Kyoto to see an exhibition by MAYA MAXX titled "For Tomorrow." I first learned of her when I saw the movie version of "Honey & Clover"---her artworks were featured as Hagu-chan's paintings. I loved her little drawings of little Aung San Suu Kyi, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana on large pieces of drawing paper... Then we got ourselves a little lost on the way to Sarasa, an old bath-house turned cafe.

With the intricate tiles in mind, I wrote this song.

[antique tiles]


「どれにしよう。」
選択肢は二つしかないのに
Too many choices
Too few choices

「おわりにしよう。」
簡単に口にする言葉じゃないのに
Jumping to the conclusion
Before opening the book


コーヒーの時光に
辿り着いた昔の空間
一歩近づき
眺める 歳月の風景
安定な断片が並び
永遠は ずっと そこにある

コンクリートの間に
色とりどりの宝石
一歩さがり
眺める カケラの風景
脆い強さを抱え
答えは きっと そこにある


「とりあえず歩こう。」
ホコリが積み重なる前に
最後の光が訪れるまで探しに
行こう
A place to belong to
Someone to call home
