Tokubetsu

* Cover

## Audio

**Tokubetsu** is a song by Aile The Shota. It is track 3 of his first EP, AINNOCENCE.

## Background

**Tokubetsu** is an emotional hip-hop track produced by hokuto with lyrics born one ordinary day on Shota's way home.

After featuring on SKY-HI's me time -remix-, Tokubetsu is the second hokuto-produced track Shota has sung on.

This was the first song he wrote for the EP, however in the beginning he struggled to come up with lyrics.

"I like to sing about the beauty of everyday life and what I think about on a daily basis, but right after the audition, there was a sense of the unusual, and the environment in which I was being watched by so many people was completely different from anything I had ever done before."
 He ended up writing the lyrics on his way home after a few drinks and missing the last train.

He walked for thirty minutes listening to type beats and writing lyrics on a notepad while humming along and feeling like he was creating something really good that he wanted to turn into a song.

"I thought that singing this theme with hokuto's track was very realistic and appropriate for Aile The Shota's first EP, so I finished the song....I think the image of the artist I want to be as Aile The Shota is very close to what this song conveys. The lyrics and the song were written at a time when I wanted to be a kind of supportive presence that sticks by you and you don't even notice, but also a person who pushes you and holds your back and pulls you along when you're in trouble."

**Romaji Lyrics + Color Code**
Dare mo ajiwaenai you na arifureta yoru wo utau dake

Hoka no dare demo nai kara kasureta koe de utau no sa

Kyou mo shuuden no haji no seki utatane hitoeki norisugoshi

Kinkin no mizu wo katate ni chidoriashi hitori tabi

Kowaikurai makkurai kawa ni sukoshi kyori wo totta

Yani kusai na

Ukabu kashi wa dore mo tsukaesou ni nai na

Takushii wa touranai

Nodo wo touranai kyou no fuman taiman ni

Waiyaresu iyahon no juuden kiretarashii

Migi no kuruma wa donna kyuukutsu wo noseteiru no

Dare mo ajiwaenai you na arifureta yoru wo utau dake

Hoka no dare demo nai kara kasureta koe de utau no sa

Pokke no kozeni to iekagi

Kanderu kinzokuon waruku nai

Furanakatta ame kasa motteru no ni nande

Maa ikka kutsu ga kirei da

Sukoshi dake sukoshi dake

Kyou wa doko ka chigatta hi nanda

Nayanda hi nanda waraeta hi nanda

Dare mo ajiwaenai you na arifureta yoru wo utau dake

Hoka no dare demo nai kara kasureta koe de utau no sa

Kitto donna hi mo tokubetsu sa

Atarimae dake de koko ni iru dake de

Atarimae dake de

Dare mo ajiwaenai you na arifureta yoru wo utau dake

Hoka no dare demo nai kara kasureta koe de utau no sa

**English Translation**
I’m singing about a mundane night no one else experiences

No one else, just me, singing in a faint voice

A seat at the end of the last carriage. A doze and nap, one station missed

Staggering, a glass of water in one hand, a lone traveler

A dark, scary river. I skirted away from it

Smells like tar

Don’t think I can use any of these for lyrics

Taxis don’t pass through here

Can’t get it down my throat, today’s resentment, remiss

My wireless earphone is out of battery

That car on the right, what constraints does it carry?

I’m singing about a mundane night no one else experiences

No one else, just me, singing in a faint voice

Small change and keys in my pocket

The metal clinks and clanks a tune, it’s not bad

It didn’t rain. I brought an umbrella, why?

Oh well, my shoes are pretty

Little by little, little by little

Today is kind of, a different day

A troubled day, a day I smiled

I’m singing about a mundane night no one else experiences

No one else, just me, singing in a faint voice

Any day is special, for sure.

Take it for granted, just being here

Take it for granted.

I’m singing about a mundane night no one else experiences

No one else, just me, singing in a faint voice

**Japanese Lyrics**
誰も味わえない様な　ありふれた夜を歌うだけ

他の誰でも無いから　かすれた声で歌うのさ

今日も終電の端の席　うたた寝一駅乗り過ごし

キンキンの水を片手に　千鳥足 1人旅

怖いくらい真っ暗い川に少し距離を取った

ヤニ臭いな

浮かぶ歌詞はどれも使えそうにないな

タクシーは通らない

喉を通らない　今日の不満　怠慢に

ワイヤレスイヤホンの充電切れたらしい

右の車はどんな窮屈を乗せているの

誰も味わえない様な　ありふれた夜を歌うだけ

他の誰でも無いから　かすれた声で歌うのさ

ポッケの小銭と家鍵

奏でる金属音　悪くない

降らなかった雨　傘持ってるのになんで

まぁいっか　靴が綺麗だ

少しだけ少しだけ

今日はどこか　違った日なんだ

悩んだ日なんだ　笑えた日なんだ

誰も味わえない様な　ありふれた夜を歌うだけ

他の誰でも無いから　かすれた声で歌うのさ

きっとどんな日も特別さ

当たり前だけで　ここにいるだけで

当たり前だけで

誰も味わえない様な　ありふれた夜を歌うだけ

他の誰でも無いから　かすれた声で歌うのさ
