Words overlap. Words create poetry.
The soothing rhythm of words envelops all doubts and anxieties.
We are supported by the warmth of words as we live.
Finance details life.
Ginza Sony Park and Hitsujibungaku deliver tranquility that cradles us in a moment of poetry.
That is because warm and gentle words always have the power to light the way for someone.
In this program by Hitsujibungaku with the theme of "Finance Details Life," a tranquil space has been created on 4F of Ginza Sony Park featuring a large water basin spreading out in the center. The main program "Floating Words" focuses on Hitsujibungaku's lyrics, offering a special musical experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the world of songs through a fusion of their songs and lyrics with water and light.
Led by a fleeting yet stunning video production of Hitsujibungaku's song lyrics floating up then melting away to the voice of Moeka Shiotsuka recorded exclusively for this program, visitors are drawn into the world of the songs. In this word-centric program, the fluttering of the water surface shows a variety of expressions while the sound and lyrics of Hitsujibungaku sway as their songs "more than Words" and "Hikaru Toki" (Time of Light) reverberate throughout the space. Please come and enjoy it for yourself.
There are also special mechanisms at work, with Sony's Haptics Technology, "Active Slate"* used to create the sensation of walking next to a waterway, all while basking in the afterglow of "Floating Words."

The reflections of the words on the water surface and the lighting were really interesting. Seeing so many words projected across the screen, I was curious about which words would stay with the viewers. The floor was like a water surface, and the whole space was fascinating.
