The listening room.

[Intro — Female, spoken] Ren, peel. Minjun, chop. Mom—やめて！ Please don’t tell that story. [Verse 1 — Female] Mom’s got flour on her cheek, I’m keeping gravy off the floor. She says, “Remember when your brother Tried to sled out the front door?” Ren says, “That was Aoi’s idea!” I say, “You volunteered.” Mom just laughs into the mixing bowl, “I’ve waited years to hear.” Hana’s upstairs with her cousin, Little footsteps overhead. Ren’s little girl brought all her blankets; Now they’re camping on the bed. Mom says, “You two built a spaceship Out of every chair we had.” I say, “Ren got stuck inside it.” She says, “So did your dad.” [Pre-Chorus — Female] Minjun, grab the extra chairs, Ren, the glasses, bottom shelf. If I find those rolls half eaten, You can bake some more yourself. Mom says, “ゆっくり, take a breath.” I say, “Right after this.” She sneaks a taste, I steal one too— That’s how Thanksgiving is. [Chorus — Female lead, Male harmony] Pass the plates, pass the stories, Pass the “that was never me.” Every year we crowd this kitchen, Every year Mom spills the tea. Little feet above the ceiling, Something bubbling on the stove. Everybody’s got a job here, Everybody’s coming home. [Verse 2 — Male] Ren leans over by the doorway, “You still play the old stuff, right?” I say, “Man, those weekend rentals Used to keep me up all night.” There’s a console in the den, Mario Kart on the TV. He says, “Just one race?” “잠깐만—then back before she sees.” Same old music, same old corner, Same old lean into the turn. I say, “Man, I lived on this!” He says, “Then you oughta learn.” Now we’re arguing over shortcuts, Like we’re twelve and school is through. There are chairs still in the hallway, And a lot we said we’d do. [Pre-Chorus — Female] Minjun? Ren? Why’s it quiet down the hall? No one answers— That’s the loudest clue of all. Then I hear that little engine, Then a very grown man shout. I turn the corner, fold my arms. You should see their faces now. [Chorus — Female] Pass the plates, pass the stories, Pass the “one more race” excuse. There’s a turkey on the counter, And I’m looking at you two. Little feet above the ceiling, Dinner’s nearly set to go. Everybody’s got a job here— Guess you thought I wouldn’t know. [Break — Male, spoken] We were just— [Female, spoken] Oh, I can see. [Male, spoken] 미안해… last race? [Female, spoken] しょうがない. Give me controller three. [Bridge — Female, rhythmic rap] Move that cushion. Scoot aside. Why you looking so surprised? Ren, who taught you how to drift? Minjun, sweetheart, close your lips. Mom called dinner years ago, I’d hit pause—you’d tell her no. You thought I quit? That’s cute of you. I had potatoes left to do. [Race — Female] First turn, clean line, Both of you behind. 準備できた？ Better luck next time. Minjun’s got a red shell— Sweetheart, take your shot. Banana at the right time. Was that all you’ve got? [Male] 잠깐만! Another lap! There’s still a chance for me! [Female] まだまだ！ Watch this corner. Who’s that passing? Player three. [Male] Ren says, “Nobody told me!” I say, “How was I to know?” [Female] You married me. You grew up with me. Now watch your girl go! [Final Chorus — Female lead, Male harmony] Pass the plates, pass the stories, Put this one in family lore. Mom walks in and sees the standings: “She’s done that to him before.” Hana’s cheering with her cousin, Ren just stares at player three. I can get this dinner finished And still take the victory. [Outro — Female] Set the controller on the cushion, Smooth my apron, fix my hair. Kiss my husband, grin at my brother, Point toward those waiting chairs. [Female, spoken — music stops] now go set the table

[Intro — Female, spoken] You picked somewhere nice? [Male, spoken] Of course. I have a reservation. [Verse 1 — Male] Yokohama, seven ten Check my reflection, check it again Practiced “Hey” on the train all the way Now she’s here and I’ve forgotten “Hey” She’s got earrings catching every light I say, “You look—” then “Traffic’s bad tonight” Traffic? Really? That’s what I chose? Hands in my pockets, strike a casual pose [Verse 2 — Female] Designer bag and a brand-new dress Forty-five minutes for effortless These shoes were made for sitting down Not whatever he’s doing across town But he straightens up when he sees me smile So I let him lead for a little while Got my elegant evening face in place And a loose price tag tucked against my waist [Pre-Chorus — Male] There’s a handwritten note where the menu should be “Out of cooking gas—closed tonight. Sorry.” I check the address like the door might change She leans past my shoulder— [Female, spoken] Well. Excellent reservation. [Chorus — Duet] Nothing like the plan Nothing like the picture in my head One wrong turn and here I am Liking where we ended up instead Let the perfect evening fall apart Let the city take us by the hand I was trying so hard to impress you Now I’m hoping this is who I am Nothing like the plan [Verse 3 — Female] Down a yokocho, shoulder to shoulder Lanterns glow as the night gets colder He’s being cool till a tune rings out Then there goes the man I’ve been figuring out Little arcade at the back of the lane He knows that music, he knows that game Points to a bar with two counter seats “That looks good.” Sure. Conveniently. [Verse 4 — Male] Her fancy bag gets a stool of its own We squeeze in close, put away our phones Order little plates, let the evening slow Find out everything I didn’t know She loves romance; I need outer space She likes the shops; I like the chase For a dusty old game with a battered sleeve She says, “You should see what a bag means to me” I start to laugh, then I understand Same little spark, different thing in our hands [Pre-Chorus — Female] He asks me why, then he lets me explain Doesn’t just wait till he’s talking again I tell him these shoes are a terrible choice He laughs so hard he forgets his cool voice [Chorus — Duet] Nothing like the plan Nothing like the picture in my head One wrong turn and here I am Liking where we ended up instead Let the perfect evening fall apart Let the city take us by the hand I was trying so hard to impress you Now I’m hoping this is who I am Nothing like the plan [Bridge — Male] Both keep boxes of birthday cards Both call home when the week gets hard Both want somewhere our friends can stay Both say “one more song” till yesterday [Bridge — Female] I like a schedule, he likes a detour I like to win— He’s finding out for sure One little race at the back of the lane He says the controls are broken again [Male, spoken] That steering wheel pulls left. [Female, spoken] Mine didn’t. [Instrumental Break — Playful arcade synth solo] [Verse 5 — Male, softer] Along the waterfront, taking our time Her hand swings near, then settles in mine I had three clever things ready to say The wind comes up and blows them away [Verse 6 — Female, softer] He offers his jacket without a line Sleeves past my fingers; I tell him I’m fine Then pull it closer and let it stay We reach my turn and keep walking straight [Final Chorus — Duet] Nothing like the plan Nothing I could practice in my room Now your fingers fit between my hands And I don’t need to know the perfect move All the things we thought we had to be Left behind beside two counter seats I was trying so hard to impress you Now you’re standing here this close to me Nothing like the plan [Outro — Male, softly sung] By the water, I turn to you No clever line to get me through [Female, softly sung] I catch your sleeve before you speak Rise on my toes— [Duet, softly sung] And kiss.

[Intro — Female, spoken] You’ve got the tickets? [Male, spoken] Got ’em. [Female, spoken] You’ve got the wagon? [Male, spoken] Yep. [Female, spoken] Then why are you sitting in it? [Verse 1 — Male] October morning, muddy shoes Little yellow raincoat running out of view Aoi’s got the camera, I’ve got the cart And a very reasonable pumpkin budget to start Our girl picks one with a crooked little stem Says, “He looks lonely—we should get his friend” Well, I respect that kind of shopping philosophy My wife says, “Wonder where she learned that, honestly” [Verse 2 — Female] Cider warming up my hands He’s explaining all his very important plans “One for the porch and one for her face” Then he points at one that needs its own parking space I say, “What exactly would you do with that?” He pulls up a picture like he’s glad I asked A Gundam head with a pumpkin-orange glow Of course you brought a reference photo [Pre-Chorus — Female] ちょっと待って, first we do the maze He says he has an excellent sense of place Our daughter takes my hand and skips ahead He’s still explaining something that he read [Chorus — Duet] One more pumpkin, one more picture Hold that smile a little longer Apple cider, sugar fingers Little moments getting bigger Round and round beneath that autumn sky Let the whole wide world go rolling by 한 번 더, let the afternoon stay We’ll be brushing off the hay for days One more pumpkin, one more memory Bring a little bit of October home with me [Verse 3 — Male, rhythmic] Left at the scarecrow, right at the sign Same old scarecrow—okay, that’s fine I’m not lost, I’m exploring the map This is a tactical reconnaissance lap Heard somebody laughing on the other side Pretty sure my family’s close behind Text my wife, “How’s it going with you?” She sends back a picture of the exit …With food [Verse 4 — Female] We followed little arrows painted blue She counted every butterfly we wandered through No grand discussion, no heroic speech Just a little hand putting trust in me Now we’re on a bench with a paper bag Watching all the people walk out past the flags His phone lights up: “I can see the sun” 잘했어, darling. That narrows it down to… everyone [Pre-Chorus — Male] I hear her calling somewhere through the corn “I saved you donuts! They were getting warm!” Somehow that succeeds where the map went wrong Never found my way out quite so strong [Chorus — Duet] One more pumpkin, one more picture Hold that smile a little longer Apple cider, sugar fingers Little moments getting bigger Round and round beneath that autumn sky Let the whole wide world go rolling by 한 번 더, let the afternoon stay We’ll be brushing off the hay for days One more pumpkin, one more memory Bring a little bit of October home with me [Bridge — Male, warm] Dad used to lift me up to pick the biggest one I never saw the work when I was having fun Now I’m hauling half a field uphill And somehow I can hear him laughing still [Bridge — Female, warm] She’s got cinnamon dust across her nose You’ve got cornfield leaves inside your clothes I take a picture before you brush them away Someday we’ll miss the mess we made today [Final Chorus — Duet, bright and full] One more pumpkin, one more picture Every year she’s getting bigger Apple cider, sugar fingers Hope this little feeling lingers Golden light and muddy wagon wheels Funny how an ordinary Sunday feels Like something we’ll remember down the line “Look how small your hand was next to mine” One more pumpkin, one more memory Bring a little bit of October home with me [Outro — Male] Little yellow raincoat sleeping in the back Three good pumpkins and a very heavy fourth You put your hand in mine at the light Say, “All right, show me your robot design” [Female, spoken] Where does the candle go? [Male, spoken, delighted] The reactor. [Female, spoken] Of course. [Male, spoken] And if we get one more for the— [Female, spoken] It is not getting a body.

[Intro — Female, spoken] How’s my favorite future chauffeur? [Male, spoken] Born for the road. How about you? [Female, spoken] Basically professional. [Two short car horns] [Verse 1 — Male] Seat slid back like a movie star Spent five minutes trying to start the car Wipers waving on a cloudless day Just saying hello in a technical way My instructor’s got a very calm voice Though I don’t think that’s entirely by choice Said, “Take this turn,” so I nodded twice Then we circled back for another try When you text me afterward, “How did it go?” I leave out a detail or three, you know “Pretty much mastered it, nothing to fear” 괜찮아, babe—except second gear [Verse 2 — Female] Hair tied up and my favorite shoes Got a whole little road-trip outfit to use Bag buckled safely in the backseat Now which of these pedals is judging me? I stopped so gently at an empty crossing A pigeon stood there, considering walking Waved him ahead like, “After you, sir” Instructor said, “He’s a bird.” When you call me afterward, “Getting the knack?” I say, “They’re impressed—they keep asking me back” 順調です! I’m feeling so free Though a lady with groceries overtook me [Chorus — Both] Going great! Going great! Almost ready for our highway date You pick the playlist, I’ll find the way Give or take a tiny delay So smooth! So cool! Definitely stars of the driving school Just one little problem out on the street: Everybody else needs lessons like me! [Verse 3 — Male] Tuesday morning, lesson at ten Out by the bakery, turning again Little blue car at the junction ahead Light turned green, but they’re seeing red Go on, you can do it, we all believe! Now they’re waving somebody across the street Nobody’s there—what are they doing? My instructor says, “Less commentary. Moving.” [Verse 4 — Female] Tuesday morning, blue car, cute day Thought that a man wanted right of way Turns out he’s waiting outside for his bread Fine! One kind gesture! Go ahead! White car behind me is creeping too near Now it’s stopped way back—make up your mind, dear Their wipers are going. There isn’t a cloud. Some people shouldn’t be driving around! [Pre-Chorus — Male] I can’t see their face through the shine on the glass Please let this very strange morning pass [Female] Can’t see who’s driving, but honestly— Hope they’re not taking the same test as me! [Chorus — Both] Going great! Going great! Almost ready for our highway date You pick the playlist, I’ll find the way Give or take a tiny delay So smooth! So cool! Definitely stars of the driving school Just one little problem out on the street: Everybody else needs lessons like me! [Break — two turn signals, playful bass] [Male, spoken] Unbelievable. [Female, spoken] Who taught YOU to drive? [Verse 5 — Male, conversational rap] Later over noodles, I’m shaking my head “You would not believe this driver ahead Waited through the green like they liked the view Honestly, babe, nothing like you” [Female, conversational rap] “I had one too! Such a strange little ride Sun shining bright, windshield getting wiped Kept inching forward, then hanging behind You’d think they were driving for the very first time” [Male] Some people panic. [Female] Some have no clue. [Male] Lucky I’m learning— [Female] With somebody like you. [Both] We clink our glasses, completely sincere Two perfect drivers sitting right here [Bridge — Male] Actually, hills are a little unfair. [Female] Actually, parking’s my personal nightmare. [Male] But picture the coast with the windows down. [Female] A little café in a seaside town. [Both] No need to hurry, we’ll get there somehow Plenty of time to be terrible now Your hand on the map, my eyes on the lane First let’s survive next Tuesday again [Final Chorus — Both] Going great! Going great! Still gonna get to that highway date One more lesson, one more mistake One less dramatic use of the brake Less smooth! Still cool! Two hopeful hearts at the driving school Still telling stories about that street And the other poor driver we happened to meet! [Outro — Female, spoken] Okay. Parallel parking. I practiced this. [Male, spoken] Take your time. [Female, half-sung] Mirror, signal, easy now Back a little, turn around Straighten up and tuck it in— [Parking brake clicks; music pauses] [Female, delighted] やった! Perfect! [Male, spoken] Look at that! Right by the bakery. [Female, spoken thoughtfully] Oh! This is where I saw that terrible driver. [Male, spoken] Me too! [Female, spoken] Must be the neighborhood.

[Intro — Male, spoken, present day] Wait—you guys never heard how we met? [Female, spoken] Tell it right. You almost didn’t come. [Male, spoken] Neither did you! [Verse 1 — Male] That morning started with a coffee spill Three missed calls and a window sill Full of little robots I was rearranging Big Friday plans—absolutely nothing Fixed one problem, found three more Cold takeout waiting by the door Then my phone lit up: “We need you tonight” I said, “For tech support?” He said, “For a life” “Just friends of friends, a karaoke place Get out of your apartment, show your face” I typed, “Maybe,” put the phone face down He sent, “Already said you’re coming now” [Pre-Chorus — Male] Wrong shirt, wrong bus, ten percent charge Practiced saying, “I can’t stay too long” Had my whole escape prepared Funny what gets you somewhere [Chorus — Male] One little yes to a night downtown One wrong turn that worked somehow A friend brings a friend, somebody makes room You walk in late with an exit excuse Could’ve stayed home, could’ve missed that train Could’ve let my phone ring out again How did a night I was trying to skip Turn into the story we’re telling like this? [Verse 2 — Female] My day had a zipper that wouldn’t behave And a lunch-break line where I spent my break My friend said, “Come sing, I’ve booked us a room” I said, “Last time you sang the same song till two” She said, “New people!” I said, “That’s worse” Dropped half my whole life out of my purse Found an old mint, couldn’t find my keys They were in my hand—don’t look at me Changed my outfit, changed it back Said, “One quick song,” while I packed my bag Bought throat sweets at the corner store Like I wasn’t planning on singing four [Pre-Chorus — Female] Wind messed up what I’d fixed all day Sent, “Five minutes!” from twelve away Almost turned around right there Funny what gets you somewhere [Chorus — Female] One little yes to a night downtown One wrong turn that worked somehow A friend brings a friend, somebody makes room You walk in late with an exit excuse Could’ve stayed home, could’ve missed that train Could’ve let my phone ring out again How did a night I was trying to skip Turn into the story we’re telling like this? [Post-Chorus — Both] Oh-oh, nobody had a clue Oh-oh, who was bringing who Just a couple names in a group-chat scroll And a song that somebody already stole [Verse 3 — Male, rhythmic] Down the hall, room number eight Heard my friend destroying something great Reached for the handle, checked my phone One last chance to say I’d gone home Then somebody called from behind my back— [Female, spoken] Is this the room with the terrible singing? [Male, spoken] Unfortunately, I know him. [Female, spoken] Unfortunately, so do I. [Bridge — Female] You held the door, I caught your sleeve Said, “If they’re doing duets, you’re not leaving me” You laughed before you knew my name Then our friends looked up and waved Someone shouted, “Aoi, Minjun—meet!” Someone moved a jacket off a seat You offered me the songbook upside down I liked you more when you figured it out [Verse 4 — Male] She picked a song I claimed I knew I knew the chorus—well, a word or two She took the high notes, I took the blame By the second verse, we forgot to be ashamed [Female] He sang the backing vocals way too loud Did a little bow to our six-person crowd Then leaned my way so I could hear— “Still glad your friend dragged you here?” [Final Chorus — Both] One little yes to a night downtown One more song till the lights came round A friend brings a friend, somebody makes room Now I’m moving my chair a little closer to you Could’ve stayed home, could’ve missed that train Now I’m hoping somebody hits replay We both walked in saying, “Won’t stay long” Now we’re looking for another song [Outro — Male] Outside, everybody argued where to eat You stood beside me underneath the awning I had a whole good line rehearsed— You smiled and got there first [Female, spoken, warm and confident] Minjun? Dinner tomorrow. Just us. Are you free? [Male, spoken] Yeah. Definitely. [Female, spoken, teasing] Good. You can learn the second verse.

[Intro — Male, spoken] Okay. Internet’s up. We officially live here. [Female, calling from another room] Great! Where are the plates? [Male] We unofficially live here. [Verse 1 — Male] Truck in the driveway, keys in my hand Same front step where my bike used to land Dad’s pencil marks climbing up the door Our little girl says, “Can we add one more?” She runs upstairs, calls dibs on my room Wants yellow curtains and a paper moon My spaceship stickers still stuck by the light She says, “Those can stay. They’ll guard me at night.” [Verse 2 — Female] Two-bedroom apartment packed into a van You labeled six boxes “stuff”—great plan I’ve found your robots, your cables, your games Three mystery remotes and zero picture frames Our girl’s got my sunglasses, making a show She’s picked out the places the cushions should go One hand on this belly, one tugging your sleeve Come help with the mattress before your next meeting [Pre-Chorus — Male] We carry our bed into Dad’s old room She opens the curtains, the light comes through I used to knock before coming inside Now she’s asking which side of the bed is mine [Chorus — Both] Move it in, move it up, turn the whole house loud Little feet running where I used to run around Boxes in the hallway, somebody lost the tape We’ve got a little boy coming and a lot to rearrange Same old stairs with a brand-new view Every room remembering, making room for you Dad kept it all, now here we go Fill it up with living— We’ve got room to grow [Verse 3 — Male, rhythmic rap] Nine-oh-five, got a network to design Two clean paths if we lose the primary line I’m drawing out the failover, checking every route She’s at the office doorway, holding something out [Female, spoken] Is this important? [Male] That’s the router. [Female] Then why’s it in a box marked “bathroom”? [Male, rap] Back to the diagram, back to the screen Need a little headroom for another fifteen— I picture a crib by the bedroom wall Then somebody asks if I’m still on the call “Yes, I’m here. Just thinking about growth.” Turns out today that applies to both [Verse 4 — Female, rhythmic] Where are the towels? Where did you put the pan? Why is there a joystick in the silverware stand? Your daughter and I have a room to arrange She’s wearing my scarf and directing the change I know you’ve been planning that workbench for two A small pair of goggles right next to you But first, future father of player number four, Could you get your entire childhood off the floor? [Pre-Chorus — Male] Dad taught me patience with a screw stuck tight Let me hold the flashlight, helped me get it right Now I catch myself looking down at my hands Wondering how he always seemed to have a plan [Female, spoken] He probably had a box marked “stuff,” too. [Chorus — Both] Move it in, move it up, turn the whole house loud Little feet running where I used to run around Boxes in the hallway, somebody lost the tape We’ve got a little boy coming and a lot to rearrange Same old stairs with a brand-new view Every room remembering, making room for you Dad kept it all, now here we go Fill it up with living— We’ve got room to grow [Bridge — Male, warm and eager] I could teach him model kits, a proper solder joint How to beat that boss with one last hit point Take him through the games Dad used to watch me play There’s so much on those shelves I want to give away [Female] And if he wants to bake with me? [Male] Then save a little cake for me. [Female] And if she wants to build with you? [Male] There’s room beside the bench for two. [Both] We’ll open up the boxes, let them choose There’s more than one way to fill these shoes [Final Chorus — Both, bigger] Move it in, move it up, hear the whole house sing Pizza on the counter, can’t unpack another thing She’s asleep beneath the stickers that I put up long ago You put my hand against your belly— “Did you feel him? There he goes!” Same old stairs with a brand-new view Every room remembering, making room for you Dad kept it all, now here we go Fill it up with living— We’ve got room to grow [Outro — Male, spoken] Found the plates. [Female, spoken] Where? [Male] Box marked “network equipment.” [Female] You design systems for a living. [Male] ...Please don’t tell my team.

[Intro: Immediate beat] [MINJUN - Male Singing: Sweetly pleading] 한 번 더, let me rewind, Keep a little yesterday mine. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing: Impatient] また? You said that before. I'm right here, not behind that door. [Verse 1: MINJUN - Male Singing] 그때 기억나? That TV blue, A tangled cord and player two. Robot lions, bedroom floor, Friday rentals from the corner store. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing: Pointed] ちょっと待って—look at me. Hana's been waiting since three. Cardboard crown and a dragon to fight, But her favorite hero's busy tonight. [MINJUN - Male Singing: Defensive] VHS, the picture shakes, We laugh until the morning breaks. You call it clutter. I call it mine— A little piece of a simpler time. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing: Sharper] You know every shortcut, every cheat, Try the one that gets you out of that seat. 世界を救う? Start right here. Your little kingdom needs you, dear. [Chorus 1: MINJUN - Male Singing] One more, one more, let me rewind, 그때 그 마음, one more time. One more level, one more night, Back when everything felt right. [AOI - Female Melodic Chant] Put 'em away, put away the toys, Turn it down, let me hear your voice. Be my husband, be their dad, 今を大事に, love what we have. [MINJUN - Male Singing] 한 번 더, don't take it all away— Leave a little yesterday. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing] You keep asking yesterday to stay— Don't let today slip away. [Verse 2: MINJUN - Male Singing, insistent] 용돈 모아 샀던 내 보물, A whole summer saved for something small. You see a box I should've outgrown, I lift the lid and I'm back home. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing: Hurt beneath the wit] ねえ、聞いて, I love that spark, But I've been eating dinner in the dark. I don't want a different man, I want the one who used to take my hand. [MINJUN - Male Singing: Stubbornly sweet] One more, one more, just a little time. Can't I keep one thing that's mine? [AOI - Female Rap-Singing] Keep your robot. Keep your game. Just don't make me ask again. 思い出ばかり見ないで— I'm right here. Look my way. [Break: Sparse beat] [AOI - Female Rap-Singing: Quick, sarcastic] Click-click, checkout, front-door drop, また買ったの? Does it ever stop? "Last one, rare one, practically free!" Funny how the last one turns into three. [MINJUN - Male Spoken: Eager defense] 변신도 해! Those arms extend. It's not the same one. It's his friend. [AOI - Female Spoken: Deadpan] Great. Two robots. Neither takes the trash out. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing] Mint-condition, dust-free shelf, But the laundry doesn't fold itself. You can keep that castle, king— Just don't leave me doing everything. [Bridge: Bare chords] [MINJUN - Male Singing: Defenses dropping] My brother's laugh is in that box, Back when we never watched the clock. Sometimes I need those simpler days— I'm scared I'll pack myself away. [AOI - Female Spoken Rap: Softening] 捨てなくていい。 Keep that part. Just leave some room for where we are. Call your brother. Set a date. I'll set a plate. It's not too late. [MINJUN - Male Singing: Sincere] 네 곁에 있을게. I'm here to stay. Those old worlds won't just fade away. I can keep the spark and choose today— [AOI - Female Rap-Singing: Warm] Then come and put that crown on straight. [Build: MINJUN - Male Singing] Game saved. Kitchen clean. Bedtime story? That's on me. Then you and me, no glowing screen. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing] そう、二人で。 Now we're a team. [Final Chorus: MINJUN - Male Singing] One more, one more story tonight, One more kiss in the hallway light. 난 네 남편, 아이들의 아빠, Here for the moments we can't get back. [AOI - Female Melodic Chant: Stress MOST] Put away MOST of the toys, 少し残して, keep that joy. Keep your shelf and Saturday— 大人になっても、you can play. [MINJUN - Male Singing] Rewind, rewind, when the day is through, A little old-school, an hour or two. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing] I've got my dreams, you've got yours, We can take turns. That's what love is for. [MINJUN - Male Singing] Some things boxed and some displayed, 새로운 추억을 쌓아가. [AOI - Female Rap-Singing: Affectionate] Someday she'll want to rewind— Let's give her something good to find. [Music stops] [MINJUN - Male Spoken] So… about that empty shelf… [AOI - Female Spoken: Warning] ねえ… [MINJUN - Male Spoken: Hopeful] Can I buy just one more? [AOI - Female: Long audible sigh] [MINJUN - Male Whisper] It completes the set. [AOI - Female Spoken: Exasperated affection] Go to bed. [End]

[Intro: Male singing — MINJUN, very soft] 아빠, 나 왔어. The words come out that way. I know he isn't here. I said them anyway. [Female singing — AOI, gentle] I'll put the boxes by the door. We can sit a while before we sort. [Verse 1: Male singing — MINJUN] His little house. His coat still on the chair. I lift it up, then put it right back there. The kettle's empty. His glasses catch the light. I can't believe there's no one coming home tonight. [Female singing — AOI] Leave the coat. I'll do this shelf. You don't have to lift it all yourself. [Male singing — MINJUN] Under the rafters, underneath a sheet, A cardboard box I hadn't thought to keep. My name in ink, a yellow strip of tape, And underneath: "Do not throw away." [Female singing — AOI] That's his writing. Here, I'll hold the light. Sit beside me. We can take our time. [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] He kept it all. He kept it all. The little worlds I left behind these walls. I grew up. I moved away. He wrote my name and kept them safe. He kept it all. [Female singing — AOI] Tell me about the one you're holding there. I'll take the box. You pull up that chair. We don't have to choose what goes today. There's room for what you want to save. [Verse 2: Male singing — MINJUN] My first big robot, one fist gone, That racing game with my name scratched on. The Game Boy with the broken battery door— He fixed it with the tape from his kitchen drawer. [Female singing — AOI] You smiled just then. Was that one his, too? [Male singing — MINJUN] He'd lean with every corner, miss the turn, Then hand it back and say he'd never learn. I'd laugh so hard I'd lose the race— I haven't heard that laugh inside this place. [Male singing — MINJUN] A spaceship from a birthday long ago, He built it on the carpet, working slow. I thought the pieces fitted by themselves. Now I build her toys, and now I know. [Female singing — AOI, tender] [Female singing — AOI, tender] He kept the spare screws in a little tin. You do that too. You have that part of him. [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] He kept it all. He kept it all. The little worlds I left behind these walls. I grew up. I moved away. He wrote my name and kept them safe. He kept it all. [Female singing — AOI] [Female singing — AOI] Tell me about the one you're holding there. I'll take the box. You pull up that chair. We don't have to choose what goes today. There's room for what you want to [Bridge: Male singing — MINJUN, voice fragile] I thought I'd come next Sunday. Then the next. I sent a little picture. He sent back a text. I had a hundred things I thought I'd get to say. Now I'm reading "Keep" and "Do not throw away." [Male singing — MINJUN] 아빠, 미안해. I should've stayed that night. I didn't know our ordinary goodbye Would have to last the rest of my life. [Female singing — AOI, close and steady] [Female singing — AOI, close and steady] そばにいるよ. You don't have to talk. I'll sit with you. I'll put down the box. You don't have to tell the story straight. We have time. The other rooms can wait. [Male singing — MINJUN] I want to tell him that I understand. The taped-up toys. The hours. His tired hands. I thought he only kept my things up here. He kept a place for me through all those years. [Final Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] He kept it all. He kept it all. And I can hear him down that narrow hall: "One more game, then off to bed." The smallest things are what I've got left. He kept it all. [Female singing — AOI] We'll take them home. We'll find a place. You don't have to put them all away. When you're ready, tell Hana how he'd play— The way he'd lean, the things he'd always say. I'll show her how the robot stands. I'll let her hold it in her hands. And tell her who put every piece in place. [Female singing — AOI] I'll wrap it carefully. You keep the tape. [Quiet piano finish. Full stop.] [Outro: Male spoken — MINJUN, tentative] Even the giant robot? [Female spoken — AOI, warm] Even the giant robot. [Male spoken — MINJUN] You're sure? [Female spoken — AOI, with a small smile] Go put up another shelf. [End]

[Intro: Female spoken — AOI] Listen to that stream. [Male spoken — MINJUN] Hang on. I'm in a dungeon. [Verse 1: Female singing — AOI] Pine trees dancing, sunlight on the ground, We drove two hours for this kind of sound. Water over stones, a little mountain breeze— You've seen more of that screen than any of these trees. [Male singing — MINJUN] 잠깐만, Zelda's got a door I haven't tried. There's a whole other forest on the other side. Then Pokémon, tall grass, something moving near— See? I'm appreciating wildlife over here. [Female rap-singing — AOI] There's actual wildlife behind your chair. A squirrel's been inspecting what you did to your hair. A butterfly just landed on your knee. Apparently it's spending more time here with me. [Male singing — MINJUN] Mario's got mountains. I'm climbing those too. Kirby's floating under skies as big and blue. My old Game Boy, a folding chair— I've brought my favorite places out to get some air. [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] Great outdoors, great outdoors, I brought a few more worlds to yours. Pine-tree shade and a quest to do— A pretty good afternoon with you. [Female singing — AOI] Great outdoors, great outdoors, That's what we left the sofa for. There's a deer beside that tree. Could you share this afternoon with me? [Verse 2: Male singing — MINJUN] I like the river. I like the view. I like having nothing I have to do. No ringing phone, no race to be ahead, Just little green adventures to quiet down my head. [Female rap-singing — AOI] I know. But look up once in a while. The world out here has got a pretty good art style. No loading screen, no wall to climb— Just stay here with me for a little time. [Male singing — MINJUN] 알았어, come show me where. That little trail? The deer was there? We walk beside the water, slow. You name the birds. I name the ones I know. [Female spoken — AOI] Pidgey is not one of them. [Male spoken — MINJUN] You knew who I meant. [Verse 3: Female rap-singing — AOI, getting restless] I love the forest. I really do. But I've watched that leaf since half past two. The stream keeps streaming. The trees stay trees. How many hours are we looking at these? [Male singing — MINJUN] We could watch that beetle cross the stone. You said we'd leave distractions back at home. [Female spoken — AOI] Did you bring Tetris? [Male spoken — MINJUN] For emergencies. [Female rap-singing — AOI] Well, this is becoming an emergency. Pass it here. And stop smiling at me. [Chorus: Female singing — AOI] Great outdoors, great outdoors, One little game, then we'll explore. Just one block, then maybe two— Move your chair. I want to sit with you. [Male singing — MINJUN] Great outdoors, great outdoors, Look who's trying to beat my score. There's a deer beside that tree— [Female spoken — AOI] Can it wait? I need that long piece. [Bridge: Female singing — AOI, soft] I pictured us here with nothing in the way, A perfect little postcard kind of day. But I don't need you studying every leaf. I wanted you close enough to lean on me. [Male singing — MINJUN, warm] I didn't mean to disappear in there. I just like being somewhere without a care. Bring your chair a little closer to mine. You take the buttons. I'll watch the sky. [Female singing — AOI] ねえ, look up. Those clouds are turning gold. Your turn. Come closer. It's getting cold. [Male singing — MINJUN] The river keeps moving. We've got nowhere to be. Your head on my shoulder is enough for me. [Final Chorus: Female singing — AOI] Great outdoors, great outdoors, I think I like this kind of yours. A little green screen, a sky so blue, And a quiet afternoon with you. [Male singing — MINJUN] Great outdoors, great outdoors, No one's keeping camping scores. Forest, river, sky above— Save a little space beside the one you love. [Female singing — AOI] One more block, then you can play. We don't have to rush this day. [Male singing — MINJUN] 한 판 더, the world's still here. Bring that chair a little nearer, dear. [Instrumental finish. Full stop.] [Outro: Male spoken — MINJUN] Ready for that nature walk? [Female spoken — AOI] After this level. [Male spoken — MINJUN] You said that three levels ago. [Female spoken — AOI, dry] Go get the spare batteries. [End]

[Intro: Male spoken — MINJUN] Don't worry. I'll go easy on you. [Female spoken — AOI] How thoughtful. [Verse 1: Male singing — MINJUN] Come sit down. Let's start out slow. A couple of things you ought to know. Hold back to block, watch the little bar. Don't feel bad if you don't get far. [Female rap-singing — AOI] Okay, professor. Which button starts? You've given a lecture in seventeen parts. You pick your favorite. I'll take this one. Are we having lessons, or having fun? [Male singing — MINJUN] 잠깐만, how'd you get behind me? That's not a move you're supposed to know. I barely blinked. My bar is empty. What happened to taking it nice and slow? [Female rap-singing — AOI] I watched your hands, like you told me to. Apparently you're excellent at teaching, too. [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] Beginner's luck, beginner's luck, I swear that second button's stuck. One more round, don't put it down— You're borrowing my living-room crown. [Female singing — AOI] Beginner's luck? Is that the name For what keeps happening every game? One more round? Fine by me. I've got nowhere else to be. [Verse 2: Male singing — MINJUN] This controller's always been a little strange. The left side sticks. We ought to make a change. [Female rap-singing — AOI] 本当に? Here, let's swap. You take mine. I'll take the one you've got. [Male singing — MINJUN] Okay, that round was just a test. This next character's my actual best. [Female rap-singing — AOI] Your actual best has just met the floor. Shall I introduce him to it once more? [Male singing — MINJUN] There's glare on the screen. This cushion's too low. And who turned up the music on the stereo? [Female rap-singing — AOI] I moved the lamp. I changed your seat. Anything else before we hit repeat? [Male spoken — MINJUN] I'm usually better when nobody's watching. [Female spoken — AOI] Should I close my eyes? Would that help? [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] Beginner's luck, beginner's luck, I swear that second button's stuck. One more round, don't put it down— You're borrowing my living-room crown. [Female singing — AOI] Beginner's luck? Is that the name For what keeps happening every game? One more round? Fine by me. I've got nowhere else to be. [Break: Male singing — MINJUN] 말도 안 돼, you blocked that chain. You knew the kick before it came. Wait. You've played this kind of game? [Female spoken — AOI] You never asked. [Bridge: Female singing — AOI, warm] After school, my brother and me, Two loose coins and a sticky old machine. He picked that big guy every Saturday. I learned his tricks. They never went away. [Male singing — MINJUN, sincere] I told you every game I used to play, Never thought to ask about your yesterday. All that time, you had stories of your own. I should've passed the other controller long ago. [Female singing — AOI] ねえ, come closer. Lose that frown. I'm having fun just hanging around. Pass the snacks and save my seat— You're still my favorite person to beat. [Male singing — MINJUN] 한 판 더, then show me how. I think I'm ready for that lesson now. [Female singing — AOI] もう一回, get comfortable, dear. I've got a few more things to show you here. [Final Chorus: Female singing — AOI] Beginner's luck, beginner's luck, Funny how it keeps turning up. One more round, don't put it down— I think I'll keep that living-room crown. [Male singing — MINJUN] One more round, one more night, Your shoulder warm against my side. Forget the score. I'm glad you stayed. Best losing streak I've ever played. [Female singing — AOI] One more round, just me and you. I like your world. I've got one too. [Male singing — MINJUN] Pick your fighter. Take your place. I love that trouble on your face. [Instrumental finish. Full stop.] [Outro: Male spoken — MINJUN] I was letting you win. [Female spoken — AOI] Eight times? [Male spoken — MINJUN, hesitant] ...I'm a supportive husband. [Female spoken — AOI, dry] Go practice. [End]

[Intro: Male spoken — MINJUN] She's asleep. We've got the whole couch. [Female spoken — AOI] And Netflix. You pick. [Verse 1: Male singing — MINJUN] Lights down low, blanket for two, Nothing on the calendar, nothing left to do. 잠깐만, look at this— A missing ship and a world that shouldn't exist! [Female rap-singing — AOI] Twelve explosions before the title's done. Does anybody talk without holding a gun? I like a little danger, I like a little space— I'd like to know the name behind the handsome face. [Female singing — AOI] How about two old friends on a midnight train? Ten years later, and they meet again. One missed chance, one look across the aisle— [Male rap-singing — MINJUN] Does anything happen, or do they just smile? I'm all for love. Let somebody move. She's missed three trains. What's she trying to prove? [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] You pick, you pick, Anything will do. Not that one, not that one— What else have we got in the queue? [Female singing — AOI] You pick, you pick, I'm leaving it to you. Not that one, not that one— We could've watched the first one through. [Verse 2: Female rap-singing — AOI] ちょっと待って, a mystery! A missing necklace, a family tree. [Male singing — MINJUN] Eight whole seasons? That's a long ride. Hana'll be driving by the time we learn who lied. [Male singing — MINJUN] An old favorite? We know every line. A little nostalgia, a very good time. [Female rap-singing — AOI] You say the dialogue before they do. Last time I heard the whole film twice through. Something new. Something sweet. Something where the planet lasts at least a week. [Male singing — MINJUN] Something strange, a world to explore. Something past another wedding by the shore. [Female spoken — AOI] You're very particular for "anything." [Male spoken — MINJUN] You're very particular for "you pick." [Chorus: Female singing — AOI] You pick, you pick, Anything will do. Not that one, not that one— What else have we got in the queue? [Male singing — MINJUN] You pick, you pick, I'm leaving it to you. Not that one, not that one— We could've watched the first one through. [Discovery: Female singing — AOI] Wait. Read this. Don't scroll away. She waits twenty years; he's gone one day. He promised he'd be home by spring— [Male singing — MINJUN] But time runs different on the ship he's in. He crosses the galaxy, trying to get home. She's down on Earth, growing older alone. [Female singing — AOI] She keeps his letters. She leaves on a light. He sees her message in the middle of the night. [Male singing — MINJUN] Is that the same girl, all those years? Oh, now I need to know what happens here. [Female spoken — AOI] You want this one? [Male spoken — MINJUN] You want this one? [Bridge: Male singing — MINJUN, tender] I came for the stars, but that look on her face— I want him home. Let him win that race. You lean on my shoulder. I pull you near. Our little corner of the universe is here. [Female singing — AOI] ねえ, move over. Save some blanket for me. How's he going to cross that whole galaxy? You get your stars, I get my kiss— And both of us want to see the end of this. [Final Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] This one, yes, this one, Finally, me and you. A little bit of your world, And a little of my world too. [Female singing — AOI] This one, yes, this one, Leave the remote alone. A love across a galaxy, And us right here at home. [Male singing — MINJUN] 불 꺼 줘, let the room go blue. I found my favorite seat beside you. [Female singing — AOI] Stay right here. The night's still ours. One small couch beneath a sky of stars. [Instrumental finish. Full stop.] [Outro: Male spoken — MINJUN, pleased] See? Exactly the same taste. [Female spoken — AOI, dry] Forty-three movies. [Male spoken — MINJUN] ...We got there. [Female spoken — AOI] Go make the popcorn. [End]

[Intro: Female spoken — AOI] One trip. Stick to the list. [Male spoken — MINJUN] 알았어. I can do that. [Verse 1: Male singing — MINJUN] Red scarves, cold hands, peppermint air, I only stopped because the toys were there. Look at those wings, look at that chrome— Hana would love to give this guy a home. [Female rap-singing — AOI] 本当に? That's sweet of you. Then why's he been your friend since aisle two? You've shown me every button, every light. You know his planet. You know his height. [Male singing — MINJUN] I'm being thorough. Shopping takes care. You can't just buy a robot anywhere. [Female rap-singing — AOI] You found three more on the way to this store. Put down the space commander. We've got twenty names more. [Chorus: Female singing — AOI] Is that on the list, on the list? Whose little Christmas wish is this? Check it once, check it twice— You've got that "one for me" look in your eyes. [Male singing — MINJUN] It's for her, it's for her, Ask me what the wings are for. Okay, I might have tried the lights— But I'm still on the nice list tonight. [Verse 2: Female rap-singing — AOI] ちょっと待って, books are on sale. Buy three, get one! How could that fail? One for your mother, one for a friend, One little mystery for the weekend. [Male singing — MINJUN] Who's getting that velvet collector's set? The one you've been holding since we first met? [Female rap-singing — AOI] Don't be dramatic. It's been ten minutes. Look at the price with the discount in it. I'm saving us money. You should be proud. [Male singing — MINJUN] Then why is our total going up right now? [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] Is that on the list, on the list? Whose little Christmas wish is this? Check it once, check it twice— You've got that "one for me" look in your eyes. [Female singing — AOI] It's a gift, it's a gift, Santa might appreciate a hint. Somebody needs these books tonight— And I've been on the nice list, right? [Break: Male singing — MINJUN] 잠깐만, I need aisle three. Take the other basket. Don't follow me. [Female rap-singing — AOI] Fine by me. I'll meet you here. No peeking in my bags, my dear. [Male singing — MINJUN] Why are you behind this shelf? [Female rap-singing — AOI] I could ask that question myself. [Male spoken — MINJUN] This is the way to the checkout. [Female spoken — AOI] We're in the changing rooms. [Bridge: Male singing — MINJUN, warm] That set you've been holding? It's already home. I bought it last week when I came here alone. You said, "Maybe later," then asked about me. I thought it belonged underneath our tree. [Female singing — AOI, soft] You bought it already? You remembered the set? I didn't think those little things stayed in your head. That robot you wanted, the one from before— I asked them to hold it behind the store. [Male singing — MINJUN] 기억했어. Of course I knew. I like finding things that feel like you. [Female singing — AOI] ねえ, come here. Give me your hand. We did a little better than we planned. [Final Chorus: Female singing — AOI] Is that on the list, on the list? One warm hand and a stolen kiss. Check it once, check it twice— You look good in the Christmas lights. [Male singing — MINJUN] Put it on the list, on the list, All the little things we almost missed. Hana's presents, yours and mine, Let's get home. It's wrapping time. [Female singing — AOI] Ribbon, scissors, paper, string— Please don't tape yourself to anything. [Male singing — MINJUN] One last stop before we go— [Female spoken — AOI] Minjun. [Male singing — MINJUN] Hot chocolate! It's starting to snow. [Instrumental holiday finish. Full stop.] [Outro: Male spoken — MINJUN] Should we test Hana's robot before we wrap it? [Female spoken — AOI] You've been testing it for forty minutes. [Male spoken — MINJUN, hesitant] ...Battery life. [Female spoken — AOI, dry] Go wrap the presents. [End]

[Intro: Male spoken — MINJUN] I've built giant robots since I was eight. [Female spoken — AOI] Great. Your oven door is upside down. [Verse 1: Male singing — MINJUN] Midnight, pieces on the floor, One little hinge, then twenty more. Tiny kitchen, cherry red, Birthday ribbon on the bed. 잠깐만, just let me see— These little pictures underestimate me. [Female rap-singing — AOI] ちょっと待って, that's step nine. We're still attaching part B-five. You call it instinct, call it skill— That shelf is sliding down the windowsill. Give me the booklet. Give me space. And wipe that frosting off your face. [Male singing — MINJUN] I'm testing snacks. It's quality control. A birthday dad should know his role. [Female rap-singing — AOI] Then find the screw you had a minute ago. And tell your elbow where my tea can go. [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] Some assembly required, Two opinions, one screwdriver. You hold that and I'll hold this, We can build a little happiness. [Female singing — AOI] Some assembly required, Very married, very tired. You can brag a little more When all four legs can touch the floor. [Verse 2: Female rap-singing — AOI] Page eleven, turn it round, Take that whole top section down. There should be a window here— A little hook, a chandelier. [Male singing — MINJUN] 괜찮아, but check that page. That's the deluxe with extra space. We bought the little one instead— The one that's pictured here in red. [Female spoken — AOI] ...There are two sets of instructions. [Male spoken — MINJUN] Tell my instincts you're sorry. [Female rap-singing — AOI] I'd like you holding up this wall. Your instincts nearly dropped it all. Okay, that page was my mistake. Enjoy that smile. You've got one break. [Breakdown: Male whispered rhythm — MINJUN] Don't wake her. Don't wake her. Where'd you put the little door? [Female whispered rhythm — AOI] Don't wake her. Don't wake her. Why are you dragging it across the floor? [Male whispered rhythm — MINJUN] Don't wake her. Don't wake her. I found the screw! Look what I've got! [Female whispered rhythm — AOI] Don't wake her. Don't wake her. It's been hanging from your sock. [Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] Some assembly required, Two opinions, one screwdriver. You hold that and I'll hold this, We can build a little happiness. [Female singing — AOI] Some assembly required, Very married, very tired. You can brag a little more When all four legs can touch the floor. [Bridge: Female singing — AOI, softer] I pictured her coming down the stairs, Little bare feet, sleepy hair. I wanted it waiting, shiny and straight. Something we finished before she had to wait. [Male singing — MINJUN, sincere] I wanted you to leave this part to me. Wake up and find it where it ought to be. That's why I said I knew what to do— I wanted to make it easy for you. [Female singing — AOI] ねえ, come sit beside me here. It doesn't need a chandelier. She'll make us coffee in a plastic cup. [Male singing — MINJUN] And charge us extra just to fill it up. [Final Chorus: Male singing — MINJUN] Some assembly required, Two opinions, one screwdriver. You held that and I held this, Look—we built a little happiness. [Female singing — AOI] Some assembly required, Very married, very tired. Four legs standing, ribbon tied, One small kitchen, two big smiles. [Male singing — MINJUN] 내일 아침, wait and see— She's got a table set for three. [Female singing — AOI] You get the cups. I'll get the chairs. We'll be her first two customers there. [Instrumental finish. Full stop.] [Outro: Female spoken — AOI] You ordered a robot cake? [Male spoken — MINJUN, proudly] A pink robot cake. [Female spoken — AOI] Minjun. Whose birthday is it? [Male spoken — MINJUN, hesitant] ...The laser cannon is strawberry. [Female spoken — AOI, dry] Go call the bakery. [End]

## Lyrics ```text [Intro: immediate beat] [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] 오늘은 우리 둘만, finally free, Hana’s at Grandma’s till after three. No cartoons, no backseat debate— Baby, we have an actual date. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] そうね, just us. I dressed up nice. So why are you checking arcade hours twice? One whole day and I know that stare— You’re mentally already halfway there. [Verse 1 - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Coffee first, then one retro store, Twenty minutes, maybe twenty-four. Burger for lunch, pinball after that— Tell me that doesn’t sound romantic. [Verse 1 - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] I did my hair. I picked this dress. I am not spending date day at Game Express. カフェに行こう, walk by the bay, Nice little lunch with actual plates. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Fine, nice lunch. I’m flexible, see? Then one tiny stop, just you and me— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Minjun. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] Right. No tiny stop. [Pre-Chorus - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] No games, no robots, no “rare find” spree. For six little hours, just look at me. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] We’ve got plenty of time, don’t worry, okay? [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] You said that forty minutes ago. [Chorus - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] DATE DAY! Arcade lights and a burger for two! [Chorus - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] DATE DAY! I had something more romantic in view! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] You wanna go left, I wanna go right— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] We finally got freedom and we’re wasting it fighting! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Six precious hours— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Already losing two— [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Trying to decide— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] What couples are supposed to do! [Verse 2 - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] My turn. Bookstore, tea, A waterfront walk, just you with me. Dinner somewhere with a cloth napkin, One good picture where you’re not blinking. [Verse 2 - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Bookstore’s fine, but candle shops? You smell one candle and somehow can’t stop. And “scenic walk” means walking slow— Forty-five minutes to move one block. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] あなたね, don’t complain to me. You walked twelve blocks for an old Sega CD. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] It had the box. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Here we go. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] And the manual. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] I married this. [Break: ticking clock] [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] What time is it? [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] Eleven forty-three. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] We left at nine. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] That clock feels judgmental. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] New plan. [Build - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Coffee! Arcade! Retro store! [Build - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Bookshop! Lunch! And one thing more! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Pinball! Waterfront! Dessert to go! [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Move your feet, Romeo! [Final Chorus - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] DATE DAY! Now we’re doing it all! [Final Chorus - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] DATE DAY! Run, don’t stroll through the mall! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] You get your café— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] You get one game— [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] You picked the restaurant— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] You learned its name! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Five crazy hours— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Ten places through— [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Turns out date day— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Was just me and you. [Bridge - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] 사실 어디든, I don’t really care, Long as I turn around and you’re still there. No bedtime stories, no cartoon songs— I thought I’d love the quiet all day long. [Bridge - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] どこでもいい, that part is true, I just wanted one whole day with you. No little hand pulling mine away— [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] I kinda miss her. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Me too. [Final Hook - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Next time, babe, you choose the day. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Really? [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] Absolutely. [Brief pause] [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] Unless there’s a toy show. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Long sigh] [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] It’s only twice a year. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Go pick up your daughter. [End] ``` ## Styles ```text Sweet K-pop/J-pop relationship-comedy duet, 124 BPM. EXACTLY TWO fixed voices. MINJUN = MALE ONLY, smooth Korean pop tenor. AOI = FEMALE ONLY, clear Japanese mezzo/rapper. NEVER swap their lines. One lead at a time; no duet or unison vocals. Follow every MALE ONLY / FEMALE ONLY assignment literally. Aoi enters immediately after Minjun’s opening block. Mostly English; short Korean only for Minjun, short Japanese only for Aoi.

## Lyrics ```text [Intro: immediate beat] [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] 오늘은 우리 둘만, finally free, Hana’s at Grandma’s till after three. No cartoons, no backseat debate— Baby, we have an actual date. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] そうね, just us. I dressed up nice. So why are you checking arcade hours twice? One whole day and I know that stare— You’re mentally already halfway there. [Verse 1 - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Coffee first, then one retro store, Twenty minutes, maybe twenty-four. Burger for lunch, pinball after that— Tell me that doesn’t sound romantic. [Verse 1 - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] I did my hair. I picked this dress. I am not spending date day at Game Express. カフェに行こう, walk by the bay, Nice little lunch with actual plates. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Fine, nice lunch. I’m flexible, see? Then one tiny stop, just you and me— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Minjun. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] Right. No tiny stop. [Pre-Chorus - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] No games, no robots, no “rare find” spree. For six little hours, just look at me. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] We’ve got plenty of time, don’t worry, okay? [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] You said that forty minutes ago. [Chorus - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] DATE DAY! Arcade lights and a burger for two! [Chorus - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] DATE DAY! I had something more romantic in view! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] You wanna go left, I wanna go right— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] We finally got freedom and we’re wasting it fighting! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Six precious hours— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Already losing two— [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Trying to decide— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] What couples are supposed to do! [Verse 2 - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] My turn. Bookstore, tea, A waterfront walk, just you with me. Dinner somewhere with a cloth napkin, One good picture where you’re not blinking. [Verse 2 - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Bookstore’s fine, but candle shops? You smell one candle and somehow can’t stop. And “scenic walk” means walking slow— Forty-five minutes to move one block. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] あなたね, don’t complain to me. You walked twelve blocks for an old Sega CD. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] It had the box. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Here we go. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] And the manual. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] I married this. [Break: ticking clock] [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] What time is it? [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] Eleven forty-three. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] We left at nine. [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] That clock feels judgmental. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] New plan. [Build - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Coffee! Arcade! Retro store! [Build - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Bookshop! Lunch! And one thing more! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Pinball! Waterfront! Dessert to go! [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Move your feet, Romeo! [Final Chorus - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] DATE DAY! Now we’re doing it all! [Final Chorus - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] DATE DAY! Run, don’t stroll through the mall! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] You get your café— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] You get one game— [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] You picked the restaurant— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] You learned its name! [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Five crazy hours— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Ten places through— [MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Turns out date day— [AOI - FEMALE ONLY] Was just me and you. [Bridge - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] 사실 어디든, I don’t really care, Long as I turn around and you’re still there. No bedtime stories, no cartoon songs— I thought I’d love the quiet all day long. [Bridge - AOI - FEMALE ONLY] どこでもいい, that part is true, I just wanted one whole day with you. No little hand pulling mine away— [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] I kinda miss her. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Me too. [Final Hook - MINJUN - MALE ONLY] Next time, babe, you choose the day. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Really? [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] Absolutely. [Brief pause] [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] Unless there’s a toy show. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Long sigh] [MINJUN - MALE ONLY - Spoken] It’s only twice a year. [AOI - FEMALE ONLY - Spoken] Go pick up your daughter. [End] ``` ## Styles ```text Sweet K-pop/J-pop relationship-comedy duet, 124 BPM. EXACTLY TWO fixed voices.

[Verse 1] Sunday left the kettle warm Sunlight on the kitchen floor Someone with a crooked tail Waited by the open door I had plans to do quite little You had plans you wouldn't say So I put my old shoes on And let you choose the way [Chorus] Nowhere to be, so I'll follow you Under the fence where the daisies grew You take your time, I can do that too Nothing to do but follow you [Verse 2] Past a sheep who watched us passing Like we'd interrupted lunch You inspected seven fence posts I picked flowers in a bunch Stopped beside a little puddle Watched a beetle cross a stone You sat down to wash one shoulder I was happy on my own [Chorus] Nowhere to be, so I'll follow you Under the fence where the daisies grew You take your time, I can do that too Nothing to do but follow you [Soft instrumental interlude] [Bridge] There's a hill beyond the orchard There's a village past the stream But you've found a patch of sunshine And it seems you've changed the scheme [Final Chorus] Nowhere to be, so I'll stay with you Here in the grass with a crooked shoe Clouds drifting by in the Sunday blue Nothing to do but stay with you [Outro] My tea's gone cold And half the morning too Mm-mm, mm-mm A lovely thing to do
