about

This track is played by duo-unit ‘ playing on a blanket ' by Yoshinori Shiraishi (blanket drum) and Kaori Nishijima (sewing piano).  Yoshinori plays daily miscellaneous goods that make noises, favorites from travels, wheels, tableware, cymbals, and snares, spread out on a blanket as he pleases. Kaori plays as if spinning and sewing fragments of songs and melodies by piano and voice.
In this song, they additionally use field recordings and some electronic elements.

lyrics

Large amounts of sugar and salt are consumed,
it is the daily life of unrelated strangers.

We wait for a moonless night and set sail.
There will be a new world when we pass that bridge.

Large amounts of sugar and salt are consumed,
it is the daily life that I have seen somewhere before.

I thought I saw a waxing moon earlier,
but it is just an illusion by the ripples of the river.
Just an illusion

Our ship sails carrying letters that will never be received by anyone.
The horizon of the night is getting closer infinitely.
A night horizontal.

大量の砂糖と塩が消費される
あかの他人の日常がそこにあった

月のない夜を待って
僕らは船を出した
あの橋こえればきっと新世界が

大量の砂糖と塩が消費される
どこか見覚えのある日常がそこにあった

さっき見えた気がした上弦の月は
川のさざめきが見せたまぼろし
ただのまぼろし

読み手のない手紙載せて
僕らの船は進む

限りなく近い夜の水平
夜の水平
