しおりに隠した鼓動

Shiori ni Kakushita Kodou

Liner Notes

A love song that depicts, in breath-laced close-up vocals, the flutter of a one-sided love unraveling in a place as quiet as a library. The chorus's signature line, "the distance I can't touch is the hottest of all," gently pierces the heat of a moment you can't quite reach. With a translucent melody and a gentle beat, it's a song that makes you want to turn the page again and again.

Lyrics (Japanese)

ページのすみで息をする君の足音が近い同じ棚の同じ背表紙指先がふれそう目を上げたらばれてしまう笑い声だけで胸が跳ねる言えないままの名前しおりにしまってほんとは今すぐ近づきたいでもまだこの恋は透明しおりに隠した鼓動君の近くで跳ねる君に触れない距離がいちばん熱いしおりに隠した鼓動今日も秘密のまま好きになるほど優しくなる窓の雨だれを数えて落ち着いたふりをするあなたがふっと笑ったそれだけで春になる通知が一度だけ震えて止まる君じゃないとわかっても期待してしまう背伸びしないで君の隣へ呼吸のリズムで歩幅を合わせたい小さな勇気を手のひらに集めてしおりに隠した鼓動君の近くで跳ねる君に触れない距離がいちばん熱いしおりに隠した鼓動今日も秘密のままいつかは君に渡す書きかけの一行消さないままで好きの文字だけ心に灯す逃げないで笑ってみるしおりに隠した鼓動君の近くで跳ねる君に触れない距離がいちばん熱い言葉はまだ小さくてでももう隠さない好きって言う前に震えそうしおりを閉じて笑う

Translation

In the corner of a page, I breathe your footsteps are close The same spine on the same shelf our fingertips almost touch If I lift my eyes you'll find out Just your laughter makes my heart leap The name I still can't say I tuck it into a bookmark Really, right now I want to come closer but still this love is transparent A heartbeat hidden in a bookmark leaps when you're near The distance I can't touch is the hottest of all A heartbeat hidden in a bookmark still a secret today The more I fall, the kinder I grow Counting the raindrops on the window I pretend to be calm You suddenly broke into a smile and just that turns it to spring My phone buzzed just once trembled and went still Even knowing it isn't you I find myself hoping Without stretching to reach to right beside you In the rhythm of my breath I want to match my pace Gathering small courage in the palm of my hand A heartbeat hidden in a bookmark leaps when you're near The distance I can't touch is the hottest of all A heartbeat hidden in a bookmark still a secret today but someday I'll hand it to you A half-written line I leave it unerased Only the words "I like you" light up in my heart Without running away I try to smile A heartbeat hidden in a bookmark leaps when you're near The distance I can't touch is the hottest of all My words are still small but I won't hide them anymore Before I say "I like you," I might start to tremble I close the bookmark and smile
