揺ら揺ら提灯に　紅染まる人波
愛逢月の夜は　忍ぶ戀もさざめく

祭囃子

紙は破れ　唯　虚しく水を掻くばかり

嗚呼　現と夢はうらはら　手を伸ばしても
掴めぬ存在にこそ　人は焦がれて　惹かれ合うもの
玉響結ぶ　契はやがて消えるとしても
共に揺らす鈴緒　秘めた想いは　黒紅掬い

Long Version

Japanese

揺ら揺ら提灯に　紅染まる人波 愛逢月の夜は　忍ぶ戀もさざめく 一夜 夢に 誘ふ 祭囃子 高鳴る心音など　誰も気付きはしない 手つなぎ歩む参道　少女の瞳に止まる 涼やかな水甕に　紅と黒の宝玉 ｢君が為｣と　挑む 掬い遊び 紙は破れ　唯　虚しく水を掻くばかり 嗚呼　現と夢はうらはら　手を伸ばしても 掴めぬ存在にこそ　人は焦がれて　惹かれ合うもの 玉響結ぶ　契りはやがて消えるとしても 共に揺らす鈴緒　秘めた想いは　線香花火 戀は儚く 美しき乙女には　定められた婚礼 ｢君よどうか　永久に幸せなれ｣ そう告げ去りゆく 彼のひとの行方は知れず 嗚呼　言葉と真心うらはら　手を離したら 二度と逢えぬものと　貴方は知りて　往くのでしょうか 終戦を迎え　知り得た所在で　ひとり佇む 浮かぶ偲び草は　ふたり夢見た　黒紅掬い

Song Production Information

Nekomata Master

I wanted to write a song full of nostalgia and sadness with the theme of a love story from the Taisho and early Showa eras, so I made a Japanese-like song where The Reflesia of Eternity's theme is ignored, and invited Shimotsuki to lovely sing it.
It's not an enka song, rather it's a nostalgic song with a hint of the Showa era. I have no idea how much of this will be conveyed to the users, and to be honest, I have no experience with Taisho Romanticism or the tumultuous changes of the early Showa era, so it's beyond the scope of my imagination. I hope that you will enjoy the song and gameplay, supplementing your imagination as you see fit.

Haruka Shimotsuki

I'm so happy to be participating in REFLEC BEAT for the first time!
Moreover, it's been a long time since I've worked with Nekomata Master, so I had a lot of fun creating this song.
Based on the Japanese fantasy title and theme given by Nekomata, I expanded the setting and carefully chose words to give the audience a sense of the historical background and the story in the lyrics.
The story is about a young girl of a good family and an honest student who fell in love, their memories of a summer festival, and how they were separated by the waves of the times. Will they ever meet again?
I hope you enjoy playing it, and listen carefully to the intertwining chorus!
