🩸 About the Track

“-Peeping Shadow-” embodies the spectral tension between voyeurism and self-awareness in the dim corridors of the mind. Phantom Tone fuses Japanese HipHop and AI-generated Music into a ghostly soundscape, where Wafu HipHop meets the haunting calm of Darkwave. This track channels the folklore of unseen watchers—an echo of Yokai that slip between the paper walls and the modern city’s surveillance glow.

🕯️ Concept & Symbolism

Within this piece, the shadow (“kage”) becomes both predator and mirror. It represents the collective unease of being seen—by spirits, by society, by oneself. The recurring motif of a “single eye behind the screen” draws from Edo-era tales of tsukumogami and ghostly watchers. “Peeping Shadow” asks: who watches when you think you are alone? Through the language of kotodama and rhythmic repetition, the song transforms fear into intimacy.

🔮 Hook Words Analysis

This section highlights three symbolic words chosen from the lyrics — each representing a key to the song’s emotional and thematic core.

影 (Shadow): The “shadow” symbolizes unseen consciousness — a living echo that mirrors our guilt and desire. It is both guardian and voyeur, a silent companion of the night.
覗く (Peep): The act of peeping reflects the thin boundary between curiosity and transgression, suggesting how attention itself can become a spiritual exchange in AI soundscape culture.
嘘 (Lie): The taste of lies in the lyrics evokes sensual deceit — the bittersweet flavor of human imperfection, processed through AI vocal layering and ghostly reverbs.

Together, these words form the inner axis of sound, emotion, and spirit — aligning with the Japanese concept of kotodama.

🎙️ Lyrics (Original Japanese)

 閉ざした襖に　息が触れ 歪んだ灯りが　背を撫でる

軋む畳に　名残の影
気づけばいつも　視線の気配

誰も見てない　つもりでも
帳の影から　目がひとつ

覗ノ影！（のぞきのかげ！）
ほらまたひとつ　心を啜る
（Echo：すす…すす…る…）

鏡の奥に　誰か笑う
ふいに零れる　名もない声
吐いた嘘には　味がある
その残り香を　嗅ぎつけてくる

口元濡らす　甘い罠
伸ばした指先　もつれる糸
囁く耳元　触れぬまま
覗ノ影が　そっと忍ぶ

忘れたふりして　閉じた扉
音もなく　また開いている
覗ノ影！（かげ…かげ…）

闇のすき間に　潜むだけ
誰にも話せぬ　胸の澱
夢にまで来る　濡れた気配
嘘も真も　紙一重
今夜もほら　視られている

一人きりでは　いられない
影はあなたと　共にある
覗ノ影！（のぞきのかげ！）

沈む眼差し　今日を見ている
（Echo：みている…いる…）

一人きりでは　いられない
影はあなたと　共にある
覗ノ影！（のぞきのかげ！）
沈む眼差し　今日を見ている
（Echo：影…影…）
