Lyrics

Game Size

Japanese

偽りの日々から 逃げ出したくなる夜
keep my dreams, break my dreams
夜が長すぎて

夢の中に描いた貴女は
今にも手が届きそうで

その声を聴かせて 声を聴かせて
あるがままを 今 輝きに変えて
姿を見せて 姿を見せて
...ほんの少し眠った間の "あこがれ"

ありのままを 今 貴女に捧ぐ

貴女のすべてを魅せて すべてを魅せて
...遥か遠い記憶の中の "まぼろし"

Long Version

Japanese


偽りの日々から 逃げ出したくなる夜
keep my dreams, break my dreams
夜が長すぎて
この広い世界の 限りない夢の波
take your hands, take your heart
忍び寄るファンタジー

夢の中に描いた貴女は
今にも手が届きそうで

その声を聴かせて 声を聴かせて
あるがままを 今 輝きに変えて
姿を見せて 姿を見せて
...ほんの少し眠った間の "あこがれ"

弛まない祈りは 眩しい光放つ
give me dreams, give me love
やりきれぬリアリティー

時の中に埋もれて心は
誰にも気付かれないまま

そう夢を見させて 夢を見させて
今宵限りでも 涙は見せないで
息を潜めて 息を潜めて
...夜がそっと運んでくれた "あこがれ"

ありのままを 今 貴女に捧ぐ

貴女のすべてを魅せて すべてを魅せて
...遥か遠い記憶の中の "まぼろし"

Song Production Information

Yoshihiko Koezuka

I have sung about two songs in the past in the Gitadora series, but this time I tried a slightly different approach.
I decided to stop the process of thinking about the melody → thinking about the lyrics → arranging → singing, and tried something like humming the song (including lyrics that fit the phrase so that it would be easy to sing) → thinking about the melody → arranging. It became very easy to sing. If you are tired of hard songs, please try to choose this song to relax.

Video Production Information

Akira Wakui

The atmosphere of this song was very different from the previous songs I was in charge of, so I expressed it in a different style.
The production process was also different from the last time, in that I tried to express myself by valuing the images from the photographic materials I had collected, rather than storyboarding from the beginning.

Takemaru

Healing vocals, healing sounds... I was in a healing mode listening to it.
The graphic I received was a healing angel, too.
I tried to make a warm and soft movie about "Let's all be healed!", but how did it go?
