Intro – Album Overview
Where the Moon Never Fades is an official Phantom Tone album released under the Japanese Folklore Hip-Hop genre.
This album explores the symbolism of eternal night, memory persistence, and spiritual liminality — constructing a moonlit ritual soundscape that never resolves into daylight.
Rather than portraying a linear narrative, the album exists in a suspended nocturnal state, where emotions, vows, and spectral presence remain continuously active.
Concept & Folklore Origin
Where the Moon Never Fades draws from Japanese night folklore — yōkai that appear under moonlight, spirits bound to unfinished promises, and shrine myths that preserve eternal night rituals.
The album interprets moonlight as a spiritual preservation field — a domain where memory does not decay and human emotion remains suspended between worlds.
Music Architecture
The sound architecture emphasizes slow to mid-tempo ritual grooves, nocturnal ambient textures, and low-frequency harmonic drones.
Melodic progressions are deliberately restrained to maintain emotional suspension rather than narrative resolution.
Band instruments and wagakki layers form ceremonial loops, reinforcing the album’s perpetual moonlit motif.
