- Over the Unfinished Bridge - I swallowed the words I was about to say and a diamond popped up between my teeth I’ll run up Mt. Katakamuna as the clouds start gleaming Over the unfinished bridge You'll find your own secret garden They make arches Like white hands stretching from a cliff There’s nothing visible beyond the fog Do they tie your hands or not? Over the unfinished bridge You'll find your own secret garden Over the bridge in a deep valley Will you find your own secret garden? __________ - 完成をみない橋の向こうに (Over the Unfinished Bridge) - 言いかけてた言葉を のみこんで 歯のあいだから ダイヤモンド飛びだして 雲が光りだすころに カタカムナの山を かけのぼっていくよ Over the unfinished bridge You'll find your own secret garden 崖から伸ばされた 白い手のように それはアーチ型をつくり 霧の向こうは 何も見えないのさ 手を結むすぶのか 結ばないのか 完成をみない橋の向こうに 秘密の園を見つけるだろう Over the unfinished bridge You'll find your own secret garden 谷深い橋の向こうに 秘密の園を見つけるだろう

- Linked in a Dream - Don’t forget me I’ll catch up with your tail I won’t miss any of your subtle signs And chase shadows in the moonlit night So we're linked in a dream Even after turning into a star, she just kept on sleeping, so we're linked in a dream You heal me with your softness Even though you hurt me with your sharp claws You caught the signals I sent you And a crescent moon is buried deep in your eyes Your warmth remains As I contact you with my fingers Like an antenna sticking out of the fleecy clouds It makes a rain of fish fall So we're linked in a dream Even after turning into a star, she just kept on sleeping, so we're linked in a dream __________ - 夢ではつながっているから (Linked in a Dream) - わたしのこと忘れないでね きみの尻尾をつかまえにいくよ わずかな徴 (サイン) も見逃さないから 月夜の影を追いかけていくよ 夢ではつながっているから 星になっても眠ってばかり So we're linked in a dream その柔らかさで癒してくれるよ 尖ったつめで傷つけもするけど 送られた信号を捕らえているだろう 瞳の奥に三日月を秘めて 夢ではつながっているから 星になっても眠ってばかり So we're linked in a dream まだ温かさが残っているよ この指先で交信するから 綿雲から突きだすアンテナみたいに 魚の雨を降らせるだろう 夢ではつながっているから 星になっても眠ってばかり So we're linked in a dream 夢ではつながっているから

- The Halo and Angel Wings - Our fortunes are enveloped in black balloons What kind of destiny awaits us? It was fun to see what happened when they burst, but your shriveled hopes faded into the vivid blue sky Along with the balloons Along with the balloons We’re tuning into your channel They only play your songs there “Please stay tuned” “Please stay tuned” The halo and angel wings have saved your life Screws were driven into your skull My feelings spin like a roulette I try to push them back into a corner of my mind And shape a smile out of clay We’re tuning into your channel They only play your songs there The black balloons burst, but to make up for that, the halo and angel wings carry you up into the air “Please stay tuned” __________ - ハローリングと天使の羽根 (The Halo and Angel Wings) - 黒い風船の中には 運勢占いが入っているのさ どんな運命が待っているのかしら? 割れてからのお楽しみなんだけど しぼんでしまうきみの希望は 怖いくらい真っ青な空に消えていった 風船とともに 風船とともに きみのチャンネルに合わせているのさ そこではきみの曲だけが流されているんだよ “Please stay tuned” “Please stay tuned” ハローリングと天使の羽根が きみの命をつないでいるのさ 頭蓋骨にネジが食い込まれていた ルーレットみたいにぐるぐる回る 気持ちをどこかの隅に押しやって 粘土で笑顔を型どりするよ きみのチャンネルに合わせているのさ そこではきみの曲だけが流されているんだよ 黒い風船は割れてしまったけれど かわりにハローリングと天使の羽根が きみを宙につれていくだろう “Please stay tuned”

- Whitening Shadows - You pick up speed as you run away from the broken pieces of memories You flee as you toss out exaggerated smiles and hide in the virtual flower garden You run into a dim alley as the blue moonlight surrounds you When your toes float up in the air a little, your shadow starts changing to white I’m haunted by a mad, dazzling temptation I said stop We've got a problem coming on We gotta wait Or else we won’t last long __________ - 白くなりゆく影 (Whitening Shadows) - 粉々に砕けた記憶のなかから きみはスピードを上げて駆け出し 過剰な笑みを投げて逃避する ヴァーチャルな花園のなかに潜み 誰もいない暗路に駆け込み 蒼い月の光はきみを包囲する 宙にすこし足先が浮きだしたら きみの影は白く変わりゆく 狂おしいほどの目映い誘惑 I said stop We've got a problem coming on We gotta wait Or else we won't last long

- A Door in the Dune - How long can we go on walking? We should have already found each other We’ve been searching for a door in the dune Searching for a door in the dune He shuffled along, his feet covered in sand His shadow stretching on endlessly We chase your shadows through the white dunes Searching for a door in the dune A faint mirage of a door appears A square sun rises and disappears Everything before our eyes grows misty Searching for a door in the dune Only their winding footprints remain Never crossing, always parallel and perplexing through the dune of dim memories Searching for a door in the dune We should have already found each other any number of times We should have already missed each other any number of times We’ve been searching for a door in the dune __________ - 砂丘の扉 (A Door in the Dune) - もうどれほど長く歩き続けたか もうとっくに出会っているはずの ぼくたちは扉をさがすよ Searching for a door in the dune 砂だらけの足をひきずって 影は黒く長くどこまでものび 白い砂丘にきみたちの影を追って Searching for a door in the dune 蜃気楼の扉はおぼろげに浮かび 四角い太陽が立ち現れては消え 目の前のものすべてがかすんでしまう Searching for a door in the dune まがりくねった足跡だけがのこる どこまでも交差せずに並んでまどう おぼろげな記憶のなかの砂丘で Searching for a door in the dune もう何度も出会っているはずの もう何度も見失っているはずの ぼくたちは扉をさがして

- Waves and Illusions - Can you see the changing sky? The sun peeks through A break in the thick clouds In a sky that should have already gone We came from far off in the distance And no one knows How far we’ll go Passing through a layer of air Where only the birds fly All that’s left are illusions Like a flame that never dies Like a restless wave Another day is born The waves are rising In my mind The waves are falling In your mind And soon against the shore And soon at our feet The waves will break The waves will break __________ - 波と幻影 (Waves and Illusions) - 空が変わりゆくのを見るかい いつか失ったはずの空の ぶ厚い雲の裂けめから つかのま陽がのぞく はるか遠くにきた どこまで行くのか 誰も知らない 鳥たちだけが渡る 空気の層をかけぬけ 残されたものは幻影 (まぼろし) 途切れることのない炎のように 押しては返す波のように 別の一日がうまれてくる やがて波は高まっていく わたしのなかで やがて波は静まっていく きみのなかで そしていつかは 岸辺で そしていつかは 足元で 裂け散っていくだろう 裂け散っていくだろう

- Never Get Over - Countless whispers sticking to the spider's web Countless murmurs getting caught in the net Endless tweets vanishing into the air You can never take back what you've done You can never get over what you've lost I always long for the flamingo-colored sunset As I rewind and gaze back at my lost days A story of double exposure With a flower blooming and withering away You can never take back what you've done You can never get over what you've lost The joyous bell ringing overhead through the playhouse And my blood vessels filled with sweet particles You can never take back what you've done You can never get over what you've lost __________ - 忘れえぬ時よ (Never Get Over) - 数え切れないほどの囁きが蜘蛛の巣に張りつく 数え切れないほどの呟きが網にひっかかる 終わりのないさえずりが宙に消えていく You can never take back what you've done You can never get over what you've lost フラミンゴ色の夕焼けはいつも恋しい 失われた日々を巻き戻しては眺める 花咲きしぼんで二重露光のストーリーを You can never take back what you've done You can never get over what you've lost 頭上で歓喜のベルが鳴りひびいた劇場を 血管のなかに甘い粒子が踊る気分を You can never take back what you've done You can never get over what you've lost

- (I Won't) Leave a Trace - All cooped up in my little white cell I'm feeling fine degradation all the time separation Leaves no one to call at this hour Yet I sleep all day with nothing to say I think in round repetition like a time lost tradition Long ago you'd call now Soon they will discover it all Soon they will know the truth Soon they will have to return Soon you'll see it too There are no answers right and wrong Only sane or insane ones We won't explain till it's all done Please remain calm and sombre till you are deemed healthy But they haven't found me yet But they always keep pace But I don't feel a threat And I won't leave a trace __________ - 名残をとどめず ( (I Won't) Leave a Trace) - 白い小部屋に、こもって すべての時間から放たれて、いい退廃 誰にも呼び出せない、この時には 何にも言わずに、まる一日眠るけど 思考は往復反復、Like a time lost tradition 昔のきみが蘇るよ、今 Soon they will discover it all Soon they will know the truth Soon they will have to return Soon you'll see it too 善いか悪いかなんて、答えはない ただ正気か狂気か、ってやつで すべて終えるまで、明らかじゃない そのまんま緩やかな憂いを But they haven't found me yet But they always keep pace But I don't feel a threat And I won't leave a trace

~ Retracing your dim memories ... to a dreamlike secret garden ~
~かすかな記憶を辿り...幻夢の花園へ~

"The immersive quality to Secret Garden is achieved through a combination of elements. Haco employs charming vocal melodies and lyrics reminiscent of fairy tales—"
—Joshua Minsoo Kim (Hidden Gems: Bandcamp Daily, April 2019)
daily.bandcamp.com/hidden-gems/hidden-gems-haco-secret-garden

“Haco continues to plough her unique furrow. Small sounds, electronics, distant choirs and floating strands that coalesce into islands of harmony and song before they break apart again. If there's a secret Japanese underground, this is it. Handmade and always inventive, but light as gossamer.” ーReR Megacorp (UK)

"「フェアリーテイル・イン・エレクトリック・サーキット。」"
—角田俊也 (サウンドアーティスト)

“どれもじっくりと練り込まれた果ての音とメロディで、美しさが全体を貫き充実している。全10曲、現代音楽的なものからポップ色の強いものまで、細かい違いがありよく考えられている。”
ー 大鷹俊一, ストレンジ・デイズ (JP)

"『Secret Garden』で展開されるリアリティのあるファンタジー、あるいは優しい前衛と呼びたい世界をなんとしよう。After Dinner以降、ソロで、あるいは様々なユニットでワールドワイドな活動を続けるHACO。"
ー 杉山達, ストレンジ・デイズ (2015年5月号) (JP)
