Song Prompt: A dark, cinematic synthwave–techno track with a continuous rock guitar solo playing throughout the entire song (not a short lick — a full evolving solo that never drops out). Tempo: mid-to-fast (120–135 BPM). Key: minor, moody, neon-lit atmosphere. Structure & Elements: Intro: Slow synth pad swell with distorted electric guitar solo already present, drenched in reverb and delay. Distant taiko-style percussion. Verse: Trap/techno beat enters. Female rap verse delivered cold and controlled, storytelling style. Lyrics about Yakuza power, honor, shadow economies, loyalty, and blood oaths. Guitar solo continues underneath, weaving around the vocal. Pre-Drop: Gospel-style choir harmonies (Japanese pentatonic flavor mixed with Western gospel chords), rising tension. Drop: Heavy synthwave bass, driving techno kick. Rap continues during or immediately after the drop, aggressive and rhythmic. Guitar solo becomes more intense and higher-register. Chorus: Female vocalist with an ethereal yet strong voice, singing melodically about geisha elegance, secrecy, danger, and beauty amid violence. Catchy, haunting hook. Second Verse: Beat switches slightly (hi-hat pattern change, glitch accents). Rap verse continues with sharper delivery. Lyrics contrast Yakuza brutality with geisha grace. Bridge: Beat strips back. Gospel choir returns, almost spiritual, layered with synth arpeggios. Guitar solo becomes slow, emotional, expressive. Outro: Completely different feel — beat fades, choir and synths linger, guitar solo carries the track to the end with a long, cinematic finish. Mood & Aesthetic: Neon Tokyo at night Crime, tradition, honor, secrecy Dark, stylish, cinematic Blade Runner meets Tokyo underground Genres to blend: Synthwave • Techno • Trap Rap • Rock Guitar Solo • Gospel Elements • Cinematic Electronic Vocal mix: Male rap + female chorus vocals + background gospel choir
Lyrics
(reverb swells)
Taiko low, far — the guitar sighs and never lets go
(ha) slow pad, glass on ice, a skyline made of steel
(ah-ah) oyabun names on paper, folded like prayer
(uh) the solo climbs, a long silver blade through rain
I walk the alley with my ledger and my scars, giri on my tongue
Cold ledger, cold breath, sakazuki passed — the promise is sung
I keep the lines tight, shadow ledgers under lacquered doors
Rice paper contracts, blood ink, on the floor where the koi don't show
Oyabun calls at midnight, voice like iron, soft as silk
He says, "Keep the peace, keep your on, keep the children from the mill"
I was born for the ledger, taught the knife and the bow, and where to stand
Honor like a coin in my palm — spend it, flip it, bury it in sand
Black market lullabies hum through payphones and ramen steam
We move the law sideways, trade favors for futures and for dreams
My mother taught me how to fold a face like paper fans, hide the cut
My father taught me how to hold a blade and never flinch at blood
We grow gardens inside concrete, plant silence, water code
Every debt is a story; every story is owed
(yeah) giri, on — the words taste like metal when you say them at dawn
(uh-huh) kobun at my back, eyes like moths, waiting for a signal to swarm
(soft) I don't pray, I account — commandments scratched on a blade
(soft) I don't cry, I collect — loyalty is currency paid
(choir) Ahhh — ahhhh (ma-ha)
(choir) Raise the hymn in five tones, fold it into one
(choir) Hana of the night, sing (sing) in a gospel run
(choir) Giri and grace — lift them up, let the wind become the drum
[instrumental — drop: heavy synth & kick, guitar climbs, taiko hits]
(skrrt — yuh) After the drop the streets speak in staccato, neon-affected rain (watch)
I move like a ledger in motion, numbers violent as trains (yah)
Payment in the alley, palms meet, blood on the sleeve, but we don't show pain
Chains of favors, threaded through clubs and tea houses, secret lanes
I learned to smile with a katana hidden where my rib remembers hunger
I learned to count the breaths before a storm, name the traitor by thunder
(ayy) I cut deals with moons, signatures pressed in sash and smoke
I sell protection in syllables, every promise a choke
My voice is the scale, my silence is weight, my oath is the knife
I keep the family fed in the dark; we barter shame for life
(yeah) I am oyabun's shadow, I am the ledger that never sleeps
I am the hand that signs your name when your last secret weeps
Geisha at the window like a lost poem, lacquered, patient, cold
She bows to the room, hides a razor smile — petals on a hold
(ha) Beauty is a weapon that remembers how to kill quietly
(ha) Beauty is a language that keeps a man from telling the whole story
I make a map of loyalties, draw borders in cigarette ash
Every border a promise, every promise a match
(ah) Watc
