A tricky artist to categorize, her works incorporate various genres such as neoclassical darkwave, world music, experimental, jazz, synthpop, new age, classical, ambient, and more ordinary Japanese pop, among many others. She launched her career in 2001, with the vocal EP Midori no mori de nemuru tori ("Sleeping Bird in the Green Forest"), which she made on her own using a synth and a laptop. In 2002, she released an instrumental album, Kurenawi, showing various influences such as Caribbean music, traditional Japanese folk and classical piano music. In 2003, she released her first full-length vocal album, Haikyo to Rakuen ("Ruins and Heaven"), showing influences from Old Europe, classical and ethnic music, in which she sang Italian poetry, but also Japanese lyrics and what is seemingly an invented language ("Iuripuka"). This album gained critical success in Japan through the indie music platform Muzie, where it stayed on top of the sales for two years.

Her latest release is the avant-garde album Ayashi (2018) which could be labeled as world fusion.

Sharty sharty nestar aishars arshar
Klatynarseta amatea tor tustor
Turlimata arais leler orter yutery
Natieritar aa e kwanty elia

Aijar stie merymeryfa tuie
Aijar stie merymeryfi tuie
Marmela maiela lulomie martia hihie lalyen
Telohila telihela tulihela hela fahietie lilula limuri

Lamaste latina lamasti latina lamisity
Lamaste latina lamasti latina tinatiniti

Alielo marukishido rykeriteria
Alielo marikishido erimikimata midili

Soriba ketia migali
Omne iba haripa yantie

Marmela maiela lulomie martia hihie lalyen
Telohila telihela tulihela fahietie lilula limuri

Marmela maiela lulomie martia hihie lalyen
Telohila telihela tulihela hela fahietie lilula limuri





Pantalea... haha ahaha

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 志方あきこ's song Pitalacta ～陽月の舞～ are written in an obscure language that seems to be a mix of Spanish and made-up words.

The verses consist of disconnected phrases and words that create a sense of abstract imagery and beauty. The first verse, "Sharty sharty nestar aishars arshar; Klatynarseta amatea tor tustor," presents a jumbled sequence of syllables that sound exotic and mystical, but their meaning is unclear.


The chorus of the song, "Marmela maiela lulomie martia hihie lalyen; Telohila telihela tulihela hela fahietie lilula limuri," is the most memorable part of the song, and it is repeated several times throughout the track. The chorus has a hypnotic quality, and it feels like a dreamy chant or a magical incantation. The chorus is also the most musical part of the song, with a melody that flows smoothly and a rhythm that is easy to follow. The chorus lacks any clear meaning, but it enhances the emotional impact of the song through its sheer beauty and haunting quality.


Overall, the lyrics of Pitalacta ～陽月の舞～ create an imaginary language that adds to the song's otherworldly atmosphere. While the lyrics may not have a clear meaning, they succeed in creating a sense of mystery and enchantment that is in tune with the song's theme and melody.
