1.	Tomoko SHIMASAKI / 島崎智子 - Let's Live in Asagaya Together / 阿佐ケ谷で暮らそう (24bit48kHz) 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Let's Live in Asagaya Together We hold a gig in your cheap flat beside the tracks in Koenji, Sing under the moon while trying not to be a nuisance to the neighbourhood. In front of the lavatory, you crammed lots of your guitar cases. The sound of your alarm makes you go out in a hurry, even if your laundry is still damp. You work like a dog, wander like a stray dog, And eat quickly-made meals because you feel so tired. But you can't leave your dream. Let's live together. I love you. The darkness in your mind is affected. Where is your mind? Come back to my side. Fear of losing, and the strength to leave. Don't compare yourself with others. While we worry about the future, the end will come. Follow me. Don't look back. Let's live in Asagaya where we happened to meet each other. Let's walk along the avenue, hand in hand. I'd like to love everything about you. Let's live together. Let's make new happiness together. 阿佐ヶ谷で暮らそう Asagaya de kurasou 高円寺の線路の脇風呂無しアパートでコンサート近所迷惑考えながら月明かりで歌い出すギターケースを便所の前に所狭しとひしめかせ洗濯物は乾かないまま目覚ましの音走り出す飼い犬みたいに働いて野良犬彷徨って疲れて猫飯それでも諦めきれないねぇ私と二人で暮らそうあなたが好きですザワついてる心の闇今何処に居るの帰って来て失う怖さ離れる強さ他の誰かと比べないで未来を心配してる間に終わりはやって来る私に着いて来て後ろは振り返らないでねぇ二人が初めて出逢った阿佐ヶ谷で暮らそう並木道二人で手を繋ぎ歩こうあなたの全てを愛したい私と二人で暮らそう新しい幸せ二人で作ろう 2014©Tomoko SHIMASAKI

4.	If You Don’t Guess My Feelings / ロマンス 02:22	lyrics	buy track
If You Don't Guess My Feelings Please guess, guess my feelings. Do you know how delicate I am? I'll sulk, if you don't guess my feelings. I curl up into a blanket. Please guess, guess my feelings. Do you know how much I bore? I'll turn delinquent, if you don't guess my feelings. I get a perm, yakuza style. Please guess, guess my feelings. Do you know how hard I tried? I'll snap, if you don't guess my feelings. I make a hole in the fusuma.* I wonder why, why not? It's the most important thing for us. Why won't you do it? Damn it! I can't tell you my feelings, so please understand them for yourself. Please guess, guess my feelings. Do you know how sad I am? I'll be confused, if you don't guess my feelings. A tear drops, and my eyes are watery. *Fusuma is a Japanese sliding screen, and the action is the typical paltry resistance of an angry child. It's similar to the feelings of the English phrase, “to throw one's toys out of the pram”. ロマンス Romance 察してください察してください僕がどんだけ繊細か察してくれなきゃスネちゃうぞ毛布にもぐって丸くなる察してください察してください僕がどんだけ耐えてるか察してくれなきゃグレちゃうぞパンチパーマをあててみる察してください察してください僕がどんだけ頑張ってるか察してくれなきゃキレちゃうぞふすまに穴を空けてみるなぜなんだなぜなんだ一番大事なことなのにどうしてなんだクソッタレ言えないんだからわかってよ察してください察してください僕がどんだけ寂しいか察してくれなきゃ困るんだ涙がポロリンとまらない 2014©Tomoko SHIMASAKI

Swallow Will you notice me, what and what and what should I change? Will you appreciate me, what and what and what could I do? You said I don't need to change anything, but you aren't here today either. Tell me, for you to choose me, what and what should I have? I'm busy, as you can see. Don't make me say the same things over and over. I don't have anything to give you except my heart, But it's already worn-out, it can't open. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, bye bye. It's finished if it has become a thing of routine. Goodbye, goodbye. It feels so hard, but I don't know what I should say. つばめ Tsubame あと何と何と何が変われば僕を見てくれるのあと何と何と何が出来れば僕を認めてくれるのそのままで良いと言うけれど君は今日もここにいないねぇあと何と何が揃えば僕を選んでくれるの私は忙しい見ればわかるでしょ何度も言わせないであと君に渡せるものは心ぐらいしかないけどボロボロで使えなくて開くことはもう出来ないさよならさよならさよならバイバイ当たり前になれば終わりさよならさよなら辛いけれど何と言えば良いか分からない 2014©Tomoko SHIMASAKI

Baby Chicks I'll torment you as long as you live. He embraces me with an awkward hand. I care about his past loves. How long is it since he’s done it? Is he a virgin!? ...I can't say it's not possible. It's a pity for him to know nothing, and he is swayed by his feelings. I think saying "love equals eternity" seems like a chick which is sold at a night market. Sit down there and take it easy. You should give your body up to me to do with as I like. Open the window curtain, nobody is looking at you. Look down on me. I care about his future, such a guy can't tell clever lies. I think saying "love equals honesty" seems like a chick which is unsold. Sit down there and take it easy. You should give your body up to me to do with as I like. Don't lick my small breasts. I'll send you to heaven every time. Sit down there and take it easy. Say it feels good. Don't turn off the light, because it's late already. I'll torment you as long as you live. *En-nichi is the day when visitors to temples and shrines can receive blessings. Especially, the night market of En-nichi is very popular, and is crowded with lots of people. People love to try catching goldfish, and eat En-nichi’s special junk foods, like bekko candy and yakisoba fried noodles, etc. Baby chicks ware sold as pets a long time ago. In addition, hiyoko (baby chicks) means "green", or "immature" in Japanese. ひよこちゃん Hiyoko chan 一生苦しめてやる抱き寄せる手がぎこちない彼の恋愛歴が気になる何時ぶりなのまさか童貞あり得なくもない自分の感情に振り回されて何も知らないのね可哀想に「永遠=愛」だなんて祭りで売ってるひよこちゃんみたいそこに座って肩の力抜いてされるままになれば良いのカーテン開けて誰も見ちゃいないわ私を見下ろして気の利いた嘘もつけないような彼の人生の先が気になる「誠実=愛」だなんて売れ残ったひよこちゃんみたいそこに座って肩の力抜いてされるままになれば良いの小さい胸を舐めんじゃないわよ毎回いかせてやるそこに座って肩の力抜いて気持ち良いって言ってごらんよ明りは消さないでもう全部遅いわ一生苦しめてやる 2014©Tomoko SHIMASAKI
12.	Self / 姿 (24bit48kHz) 03:59	lyrics	buy track
Self No matter my age, I can't change my personality. I'm not able to get truly into the role of being a man or a woman. To meekly and sweetly do something is a circus. I can't continue to do so. I was lamenting, I covet others' possessions often, but have to be patient. Someone's words, someone's life rhythm, Someone's memory, someone's proud moment, Someone's effort, someone's trusting relationship. I was crying out my truth, every time I pursued others' possessions. No matter my age, I can't change my personality. I'm here, but am not a child, an adult or anything. I'm just understanding the real meaning of honesty. That is to live cheerfully as I really am. 姿 Sugata いくつになっても変われやしない男にも女にも成りきれないでいるよ素直に優しくなんてサーカスみたい続かない人のもの欲しがっては我慢して嘆いていた誰かの言葉誰かの生活リズム誰かの思い出誰かの晴れ姿誰かの努力誰かの信頼関係人のもの追いかけては真実を嘆いていたいくつになっても変われやしない大人でも子供でも何でもない自分がいるよ素直って本当の意味が今やっと身体に在る見たまま吾がままを明らかに生きること 2014©Tomoko SHIMASAKI
13.	Lotus Root Pattern / 蓮根模様 (24bit48kHz) 05:23	lyrics	buy track
Lotus Root Pattern I go to Kichijoji station to go shopping, I'm dreaming about living together, I want bowls with lotus root patterns, so I take notice of them. I go to Shimo-kitazawa for my part-time job, rather than hesitating when I could quit, I mastered my job skills fairly well, because I worked without excuses. In my seventh year since coming up to Tokyo, I stop because someone calls me, A friend who I got to know in Osaka gets off the same train. What have I come here for, left my hometown, I've never forgotten it, but I'm afraid to remember it. I go to Shibuya to perform today. This is the first performance of the year, There is only a small audience, it makes me come to my senses. Please keep cool and look around, you may actually be mortified, You are offended, sulky and run away because you don't have confidence and are scared about things. I want to live while singing my songs with all my heart in front of lots of people, I want to sing loudly to my heart's content in front of lots of people. I go to Kichijoji station to go shopping, I was dreaming about living together, The bowls with lotus root patterns are sold out, they have disappeared. 蓮根模様 Renkon moyou 吉祥寺駅までお買い物二人暮らしを夢見てる蓮根模様のどんぶりが欲しくて目を付けている下北沢までアルバイト何時辞められるかと迷うより言い訳を止めて働けばそこそこ身についてきた上京してから 7 年目名前呼ばれて立ち止まる大阪時代の友達が同じ電車降りてきたあぁ私は何のために故郷を離れて来たのだろう忘れた訳じゃないけれど思い出すのが辛かった渋谷へ向かう今日はライブ今年最初の歌い初め全然人が入らなくて目が醒めた思いがしたねぇ落ち着いて見てごらんあなた本当は悔しいんでしょう怒って拗ねて逃げるのは自信がなくて怖いから大勢の前で思い切り唄を歌って生きてみたい大勢が見てる前で思い切り大きな声で歌いたい吉祥寺駅までお買い物二人暮らしを夢見てた蓮根模様のどんぶりは売り切れてなくなってた 2014©Tomoko SHIMASAKI

about

I got goose bumps all over when I was writing the scores of this album, and I realised that music is really tangibly here, even if I only have a pen and a desk. The album is full of pure love. After many twists and turns, I have reached a tender and cheerful musical world. With this work, I'm taking the first step on from the establishment of my own new label. Make Miracles causes the Earth to be reborn. -- Tomoko Shimasaki

「音楽に“ありがとう”って言いたい。」あったかくてふかふかした、島崎智子6th.albumは9人編成ブラスバンド一発録音この作品の楽譜を書いているとき、全身鳥肌が立って、机と鉛筆しかなくても音楽がちゃんとここにあることを実感しました。レーベルを立ち上げての新たな一歩は、まっさらな音楽愛に満ちた作品です。前作「バカヤロー！」（(株)ミディ）から3年半、紆余曲折を経て辿り着いた、優しくて元気な世界。「めいくみらくる」は、新しい地球の誕生です。
