1.
大きくうなだれ僕はまた待ちぼうけ さすらいの旅続けるあの人のために あぁ 歩き疲れて 動かない身体を置いて ただ雲は流れて 僕がここで見てる夢 気紛れに訪れる確かな痛み 気付かないふりしても広がり続け あぁ 歩き疲れて 動かない身体を置いて
2.
時さえ追い越してしまう 僕の心の中にだけ 冷たく広がる 明日になれば何もかも 思い出となり過ぎてゆく 迷いも消えるさ またどこかで会えるさきっと 弱い僕らは傷付いて 慣れない道を歩いては 答えを探して 帰り道も 隠されたまま またどこかで会えるさきっと
3.
I wanna be a friend one of your best friend I wanna be free from all that hurts me oh what a terrible way I’m exhausted oh what a kind person you care about me like this oh what a terrible way I’m exhausted oh what a kind person you care about me like this I cry for the lost thing time is passing by I’m getting old common excuses oh what a simple way all can be solved oh you don’t have to be afraid just believe in yourself
4.
明日時計をなくして 二度と忘れないうちに 寝ぼけた目で見たのは光る空 雲の中に浮かんだ君の顔 どうか振り向かないでと 暗い道が続いても 会いにゆくさ必ず待っていて 夢の中のいつもと同じ場所で 星が雨のように舞い落ちてきそうな夜には 遊び疲れた子供達にもう 遅すぎる知らせは届かないさ 君を味方につければ こうして僕は泳げるさ どうか振り向かないでと 暗い道が続いても
5.
how could you tell such a story? winding road swaying heart before you sleep I will show you thousands of people get to understand can you see my frightening eyes? I will recognize your word sorry for your time is gone end of the day I can feel freezing wind but it consoles me move out of here when you are tired seek your own special place before you sleep I will show you thousands of people get to understand can you see my frightening eyes? I will recognize your word sorry for your time is gone people get to understand can you see my frightening eyes? I will recognize your word sorry for your time is gone
6.
coming close to me I was falling down holding my breath all are not my side I’m lonely after all the days go on fail to hear someone crying how can I sing? what should I sing? time is up while you are awake while you are fail to hear someone crying fail to hear someone crying
7.
unreal thing and unreal color pure as child but always irritating unreal fear and unreal scenes joy for us just wait until dawn it is between us hidden words are same I deny the whole story that you made unreal space and unreal time divided from my heart and went away it is between us hidden words are same I deny the whole story that you made
8.
遠くの街 04:54
あぁ 遠くの街 もう行くことはない 誰も乗ることない 汽車はどこまでも 僕を導いてる いつも救ってくれる それは手のひらに 落ちてきた涙 汚されても かまわないさ そう 確かなこと 何も見つからない 君の後を追って ここまで来たけど ここで僕は 一人眠る ここで僕は 一人眠る

about

This album was composed and played using CASIO, YAMAHA and KAWAI mini keyboards and digital guitar.
We narrow down the main instrument to one for each song.
We think we were able to bring out the charm of the instrument by using original preset sounds and preset rhythm patterns, as well as tape echo and spring reverb as external effects.
Since most of the instruments were released in the 1980s, it has an 80's retro synthpop sound.

月台 (yuetai) means railway platform in Taiwanese Chinese.

recorded in February 2021-November 2022

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

このアルバムはカシオやヤマハ、カワイのミニキーボードやデジタルギターを使って作曲及び演奏して作りました。
曲ごとにメインで使う楽器を1つに絞っています。
オリジナルのプリセット音とプリセットリズムパターン、外部エフェクトとしてテープエコーやスプリングリバーブも使用して楽器の魅力を引き出せたと思っています。
楽器の発売時期が1980年代のものが多いため80'sレトロシンセポップなサウンドになりました。

「月台」とは台湾華語で駅のプラットフォームの意。

2021.2-2022.11録音
