地平の向こうから　
輝き出す Sunshine

Taking a first light 光の中
始った長い旅


朝のざわめきに
動き出した Airport
Taking a new line 何処へだって
飛んで行く時間を手に入れた


風を切る翼は
From the east, to the west
すぐに空にとどく
From the north, to the south


遠ざかる地平に
From the east, to the west
重なり合う雲を
From the north, to the south
突き抜ける


From the east, to the west
I've lost myself in the night for your love
From the north, I'm getting to the south
I'll find a brand new breathing for you

風が運ぶ Morning
行くあてなどない
Taking a first light 動き出した
人生を一人でためす時


風に乗る翼は
From the east, to the west
南の空へ飛ぶ
From the north, to the south


果てしなく広がる
From the east, to the west
青い海と空へ
From the north, to the south 消えてゆく

From the east, to the west
From the north, to the south...

Even though I'm not a big vaporwave fan, I'm happy that it exists so that I could find songs like these so easily. The dynamic range on these tracks is outstanding!

[silverxstar]

my only complaint about this song is that I can't stop listening to it.

[ethanoreilly]

The bass is so up close and personal in the mix, very inviting warm sound!! :D

[Lnk]

I swear this is one of the best songs i've ever heard

[electrics]

This song gives me chills, makes me think of a cool breeze on a sunny island with a drink in my hand

[barebarekun]

This song is so tight and mesmerising, It made you lost track of time, I swear the song felt as if it was only 1:30 minute long not 4:30 minute long.

[alexiswood]

[KitsukiTheLostIsland]

[rachelwang]

[simonu]

[nahuie]

everyone in the comment section talking about the bassline (which is great btw) but have you heard the trumpet solo? it's so awesome.

[pokemondie]

The outro of this song gives me goosebumps

[flanno]

I thank vaporware and future funk for helping me find this amazing music

[IkaIka-ye]

This song is an absolute masterpiece! The Japanese have an extraordinary gift for music, excelling in jazz, fusion, pop, and so many other genres for decades. Their creativity and talent consistently push boundaries, delivering timeless sounds that resonate across the globe!

[kubluu]

Smooth grooves, and a great tune that really soars. Off to hear the whole album!

Great song with fine melody-line. I like the bass and the trombone!
