冒頭から〈おわりがくる〉〈ひかりはないだろう〉と、諦念めいた言葉を投げ掛ける表題曲でドキリとさせるのは、19歳のシンガー・ソングライター。深い情景描写で紡ぐ歌詞や潔さを感じさせるフォーキーな楽曲は、彼女の青く力強い歌声と相まって、10代ながらすでに揺るぎない世界観を構築している。矢継ぎ早に言葉を紡ぐアップ“わるぐちなんて”といったコケティッシュな曲も挿みつつ、全5曲ながらも聴き応え十分の一枚だ。
[English Translation]
oki chizuru “Keshiki (meaning Scenery)”
From the get-go, chizuru, the nineteen year-old singer-songwriter, surprises her listeners with her zen-like surrender to fate with her words like “the end is coming” or “there is no light” in the title song. Folky tunes accompanied by lyrics that depict deep scenic description are refreshing and along with her strong but green vocals, chizuru has built a solid artistic view. Including fast and wordy coquettish songs such as “Waruguchinante (meaning To Hell With Name-calling)”, with only five songs, this album is definitely satisfying.
