「Equally, Beautiful（美しく、等しく）」
ゆっくりと見渡すと現れる光

触れると消え去り、時間は過ぎ去ってゆく

曖昧な言葉など必要なく、身体を光に委ねる

青い東京の空は不安定で美しく、等しく

A beacon of light appears when you slowly look at it

It disappears when it is touched, as time goes by

Entrusting the body to this light without the need for ambiguous words

The blue Tokyo sky is unstable and equally beautiful
