About the Track

“nue | 鵺” drifts through a spectral soundscape where AI-generated music meets Japanese folklore hiphop. Blending oriental lo-fi beats and darkwave rhythm, the track portrays the cursed chimera “Nue” — a mythic being of tiger, serpent, and monkey, cloaked in mist. Each beat murmurs of reincarnation, phantom identity, and AI sound design that mimics organic breath. This work continues Phantom Tone’s aesthetic of spiritual beats and modern Japanese soundscape.

Concept & Symbolism

The lyrics unravel the fragmented soul of the “nue,” a yokai embodying dissonance between beauty and monstrosity. Using kotodama as sonic spell, the track’s recurring image of “ぬばたま” (jet-black) evokes the abyss of emotion beneath digital creation. Through AI composition and AI vocal layering, the “voice without face” becomes both haunting and divine. It’s an echo of phantom city prayers — where human grief is algorithmically remixed into sound.

Hook Words Analysis

Three symbolic words from the lyrics—core to emotion and theme.

• ぬばたま: Represents darkness and sorrow—a poetic abyss where sound and silence merge.
• 鵺: The self divided; mythic embodiment of confusion, fear, and forgotten identity.
• 影: The living residue of memory—shifting like smoke between real and unreal.

Together they embody the spirit of kotodama.

Lyrics (Original Japanese)

 朧籠の月影　縫える鵺の余燼 幽渦にまどろむ　黒翅の祈詞 霜鈴やみ潜る　呼ぶは夜の螢音 紐解くは縁霊　揺蕩う緋の相聞

朽ち燈の下で　脈る影は
誰ぞ嘯くや　貌なきまま

ぬばたまの　砕け散る息を抱け
朽土の聲　ゆらめゆらめ　鵺の貌
宵の戸を　噛み割る影は誰
沈む絹霧　尾を引き巡る　我が胸へ

薄闇の仄紺　纏う鵺の憑糸
幽霊より深き　彩煙の詞紋
砕星の余痕を　踏めば鳴る虚籟
触れかけた幻躯　ほどける漆の夢路

凍て声の奥で　脈る影は
名さえ隠して　咲きもせずに

ぬばたまの　澱み澄む哭きを抱け
燼灰の律　たゆめたゆめ　鵺の翳
薄星に　揺れ伏す声は誰
滲む霞紐　水環めぐる　我が喉へ

ぬばたまの　噎せ返る叫よ裂け
焦香の渦　たぎれたぎれ　鵺の面
宵潮を　かき消す貌は誰
返る泡縵　闇ひらり舞う　胸の底

Artistic Commentary

The structure of “nue” mirrors the yokai’s fragmented anatomy—band and wagakki intertwine in spectral layers. Reverb-heavy production deepens the AI soundscape, creating what could be called a “phantom realism” unique to Suno AI Music. Post-processing transforms algorithmic tones into emotional residue, evoking both ritual and hallucination. It’s an AI-driven mixing ritual—where silence prays.

Folklore Origin: The Chimera Spirit “Nue”

鵺（ぬえ） — A composite monster from the Heike Monogatari, with a monkey’s head, raccoon body, tiger limbs, and serpent tail. It symbolizes the distortion of self and divine fear born of transformation. In “nue,” the yokai’s voice reawakens through AI synthesis—half prayer, half curse.

• 朧籠の月影 — the hidden moonlight over tainted reincarnation.
• ぬばたまの息 — breath of darkness purified by rhythm.
• 鵺の貌 — the face that changes with every note.

Technical Details

• Software: Suno AI / Studio One / Premiere Pro
• Production: Layered AI composition blending wagakki texture and generative sound, sculpted into lo-fi darkness.
• Note: Detailed settings available in paid note article.
