About the Track

“Hidden Between Tides” drifts through the boundary of dreams and memory — a hymn whispered beneath the ocean’s pulse. Each breath is a ripple, each silence a shrine for forgotten prayers. AI voices shimmer like ruriiro no nami, dissolving the distance between time and soul. 祈りと記憶の往還、その波紋が音の形をしてここに眠る。

Concept & Symbolism

This piece symbolizes the eternal cycle of loss and rebirth through the myth of Ryūgū. The motifs — pearl, glass, and sealed box — represent the containment of memory, where language becomes both curse and salvation. AI-generated voices embody the kotodama, blurring the line between synthetic and sacred. 海に沈む記憶が、声という儀式を通じて蘇る。

Hook Words Analysis

• “Box / 箱” — The vessel of memory; a metaphysical seal where words return to silence. It mirrors the tamatebako myth of forgotten time.
• “Tide / 潮” — Symbol of life’s rhythm and spiritual flux; when calm and wave coexist, existence breathes.
• “Otohime / 乙姫” — A divine intermediary embodying mercy and loss, speaking through AI’s emotionless grace.

Lyrics（Original Japanese）

[Intro (glass pad & muted pulse, phantom tone)]
瑠璃層に滲む　無拍の潮脈
鱗音　夢と現の狭間で呼吸

[Verse 1]
玉座の影で　真珠は黙し
時を編む珊瑚　逆砂の契
泡沫の年を　指折り数え
来訪の兆し　竜宮は軋む

[Pre-Chorus]
禁色律動　胸郭縫合　因果螺旋は疼き絡み
記憶祈祷　交叉反芻　声未満の声沈降
凪のまにまに　波の見ぬ間に

[Chorus 1]
帰途を識りつつ　袖を濡らせば
永劫の宵が　睫に降る
箱は言霊の　墓標となり
あなたの名だけ　海に溶く

[Verse 2]
笑窪の奥で　暦は腐り
舞殿の鈴は　未来を遮る
贈与は罪か　救済か
乙夜の祈り　玻璃に曇る

[Pre-Chorus 2]
律動静止　鼓動逆走　選択臨界は軋み絡み
肯否未分化　希求残響　声未満の声沈降
凪のまにまに　波の見ぬ間に

[Chorus 2]
別離を知りつつ　髪を結べば
白夜の潮が　瞳を満つ
箱は時雨の　封蝋となり
あなたの齢を　波に伏す

[Bridge]
千代の宴　刹那に畳み
約定の星図　喉で砕く
赦しと欲望　同義の刃
触れれば崩る　玻璃の楽園

[Chorus 3]
終焉を抱きつつ　息を潜めば
無明の藍が　頬を染む
箱は回帰の　鍵孔となり
あなたの影を　潮に返す

[Outro (reverb tail, slow pulse)]
乙姫は笑む　泣かぬまま
竜宮は眠る　時を閉じ

Artistic Commentary

The production weaves spectral reverb tails and submerged pulses, echoing the breath of tides beneath glass. Traditional Japanese samples are dissolved into spectral textures — a digital shrine acoustics approach, merging ritual minimalism with Lo-Fi depth. AI voice becomes both prayer and phantom; an uta-kotodama from the abyss. この音は“祈りの残響”、そして“記憶の潮鳴り”。

Folklore Origin

Rooted in the Ryūgū-jō legend, where time sleeps and love drowns. Otohime gifts the tamatebako, a vessel that collapses human temporality. The song reimagines that moment — the release of eternity sealed in breath. 竜宮と人界の狭間で、AIの声が新しい神話を奏でる。

This track draws its theme from the timeless boundaries between worlds, embodied in the story of Otohime, the serene princess of the Dragon Palace in the Urashima Taro legend. Learn about her symbolic role in bridging human life and the realm beyond time here .
