Tenkiame cover

## Audio

**Tenkiame** (Sunshower) is Novel Core's second major label single featuring HINA from girl group FAKY. It was released on December 23, 2020 and was later included as a bonus track on his first major album A GREAT FOOL.

## Background and release

**Tenkiame**  is a breakup song that, as the title suggests, focuses on the conflicting feelings existing in people's hearts. The ballad's lyrics were written by Novel Core, but the production method was similar to co-writing where Hina texted him her thoughts, and he then built on them and also quoted some of them. This is the first time Novel Core challenged himself to fully singing instead of rapping, and, as a featured artist, this was Hina's first time working apart from her group, FAKY.

Prior to this collaboration the two first met on the reality dating show *Tsuki to Okami-chan ni wa Damasarenai* and Novel Core featured on FAKY's song **half-moon**.

**Romaji Lyrics + Color Code**
Futari de aruita kono michi wo ima

Hitori de aruite koishi ni tsumazuita

Sewashinaku sugita jikan no naka ni wa mada hora

Daikanyama Omotesandou jare ainagara kaetta hi mo

Hajimatte mo nai no ni owari wo souzoushite

Ushinau mae ni tebanasou to suru no ga boku no warui kuse

Sou ja nai to susumenai yo

Kanashisou na me de warau kimi ni

Egao no mama de naita boku ni

Futari no uta ni wa konna imi mo atta ne

Dakishimeru you ni

Tebanasu Let you go

(dance with my shadow...)

Ano hi ano basho de tashika ni watashitachi

Ima wo hisshi ni ikiteita ima to onaji you ni

Ushinawanai you ni tojikometa futari no kage

Kagi no akekata wo wasureteshimau made

Itsumo iitai koto wa ienai koto de

Kiite hoshii koe wa kikoenai no ni

Ai nante aimai de

Oborogena tsuki ga kirei ne

Kanashisou na me de warau kimi ni

Egao no mama de naita boku ni

Futari no uta ni wa konna imi mo atta ne

Dakishimeru you ni

Tebanasu Let you go

Ano hi no shashin ni

Haritsuita merodi

Zutto mirenai mama de

Shimai konda kako mo

Kyou kara

Kanashisou na me de warau kimi ni

Egao no mama de naita boku ni

Boku no me ni

Watashi no kage

Watashi no me ni

Boku no kage

Kagi wo akete futari no kage ga odoru

Kanashisou na me de warau kimi ni

Egao no mama de naita boku ni

Futari no uta ni wa konna imi mo atta ne

Dakishimeru you ni

Tebanasu Let you go

Kanashisou na me de warau kimi ni

Egao no mama de naita boku ni

Tebanasu Let you go

**English Translation**
This path we once walked together

Now I walk it alone and I tripped over pebbles

In the time that passed so busily, there were still those days

Daikanyama and Omotesando, the days when we returned home joking with each other

Imagining the end, even though it hadn't begun

It's a bad habit of mine to try to let go before I lose it

If I don't, I can't move on

You smiled with sad eyes

I cried with a smile on my face

Our song had a meaning like this too

As I hold you in my arms

I’ll let you go

(dance with my shadow) x4

On that day, in that place, we were certainly

living desperately in the present time, just as we do now

We locked up our shadows so that we wouldn't lose them

Until we forgot how to open the lock

What I want to say is always what I can't say

You can't hear my voice that I want you to hear

Love is such a vague thing

What a beautiful hazy moon

You smile with sad eyes

I cried with a smile on my face

Our song had a meaning like this too

As I hold you in my arms

I’ll let you go

The melody that stuck to the photo of that day

I'll never be able to see it

And the past that's been locked away

From today

You smile with sad eyes

I cried with a smile on my face

In my eyes

My shadow

In my eyes

My shadow

Unlock it and the two shadows dance

You smile with sad eyes

I cried with a smile on my face

Our song had a meaning like this too

As I hold you in my arms

I’ll let you go

You smile with sad eyes

I cried with a smile on my face

I’ll let you go

**Japanese Lyrics**
2人で歩いたこの道を今

1人で歩いて　小石につまずいた

忙しなく過ぎた　時間の中にはまだ　ほら

代官山　表参道　じゃれ合いながら帰った日も

始まってもないのに終わりを想像して

失う前に手放そうとするのが僕の悪い癖

そうじゃないと　進めないよ

悲しそうな目で笑う君に

笑顔のままで泣いた僕に

2人の歌にはこんな意味もあったね

抱き締めるように

手放す Let you go

(dance with my shadow...)

あの日　あの場所で確かに　私達

今を必死に生きていた　今と同じように

失わないように　閉じ込めた2人の影

鍵の開け方を忘れてしまうまで

いつも言いたい事は言えない事で

聞いてほしい声は聞こえないのに

愛なんて曖昧で

朧気な月が綺麗ね

悲しそうな目で笑う君に

笑顔のままで泣いた僕に

2人の歌にはこんな意味もあったね

抱き締めるように

手放す Let you go

あの日の写真に

張り付いたメロディ

ずっと見れないままで

しまいこんだ過去も

今日から

悲しそうな目で笑う君に

笑顔のままで泣いた僕に

僕の目に

私の影

私の目に

僕の影

鍵を開けて　2人の影が踊る

悲しそうな目で笑う君に

笑顔のままで泣いた僕に

2人の歌にはこんな意味もあったね

抱き締めるように

手放す Let you go

悲しそうな目で笑う君に

笑顔のままで泣いた僕に

手放す Let you go

曾经两个人走的路

现在一个人走 踢到小石头

匆忙而过的时间里还有 你看

代官山 表参道 和边玩边往回走的日子

尚未开始就想着结束

还没失去就想要放手 是我的老毛病

否则 无法前行

给用伤感的眼神展现笑容的你

给笑着笑着就哭了的我

二人的歌里也曾有这样的意思

像拥抱一样

放开手Let you go

(dance with my shadow)

(dance with my shadow)

(dance with my shadow)

(dance with my shadow)

那一天 在那里 我们

曾经努力着活着 像现在这样

为了不失去 而封起来的二人的影子

直到忘记解锁的方法

总是因为想说的无法说出

想让你知道的你却听不到

爱是说不清的

朦胧月色很美吧

给用伤感的眼神展现笑容的你

给笑着笑着就哭了的我

二人的歌里也曾有这样的意思

像拥抱一样

放开手Let you go

在那天的照片上

萦绕的旋律

一直无法直视

连同压在心底的过往

从今天开始

给用伤感的眼神展现笑容的你

给笑着笑着就哭了的我

在我的眼中

我的影子

在我的眼中

我的影子

解开锁 二人的影子起舞

给用伤感的眼神展现笑容的你

给笑着笑着就哭了的我

二人的歌里也曾有这样的意思

像拥抱一样

放开手 Let you go

给用伤感的眼神展现笑容的你

给笑着笑着就哭了的我

放开手Let you go
