Lyrics

Game Size

Japanese

水霜に濡れた星に手をそえて
隣で眠るあなたの指に光を繋ぐ

豁然とある景色はさ揺らぎに
凍みる指に息吐くことさえ
溜息と紛らう

指の先あやす
二羽の鳥の仲睦まじきよ
定まらぬ遠くを見て
潘々と揺れた

「ねえ　見て　手を握り返してくれるの」
嬉しそうに笑う
あなたの手は
あえかなる波の花に散り行く
斑の雪 

Long Version

Japanese

水霜に濡れた星に手をそえて 隣で眠るあなたの指に光を繋ぐ 豁然とある景色はさ揺らぎに 凍みる指に息吐くことさえ　溜息と紛らう 指の先あやす　二羽の鳥の仲睦まじきよ 定まらぬ遠くを見て　潘々と揺れた 「ねえ　見て　手を握り返してくれるの」 嬉しそうに笑う　あなたの手は あえかなる波の花に散り行く　斑の雪 雀色時になって　迎えにいく　蘖抱いて すれ違う日々は木立に透ける あと少し　もう少しだけでいいですから　と願う 蒼見えぬ木下闇　羽ばたく強さを 嵐の道抜けて　白日の二つに手を差しのべ　彼方 明かり瞬きてはじめて　人は笑い 幸せの意味に気付く 林立の光の木々 かき分けて見つけたものが 舞いきで擦れ違う 広がっていく白　畳なわる羽が 吾子の声と昇る　静々 ただ手を握り　問わず語り 彩なす莞爾に花舞う 虚空の深い吐息にかき消されていく 篠突く雨去りし後 風ら仰ぎ　人は知る 幸せの在り方を

Song Production Information

Asaki

It's pronounced, "Sorasumi no hiyo to".
It's feels like a great chirpings.
This is the last song listed on my album that I released a very long time ago.
I was asked to port this song by an uncle with glasses.
But I had no intention of porting this song into a game, so I got a little worried about whether it would be a fun song to play.
But thanks to his super glasses power, I was able to make it work.

That means the man who was No.1 in KONAMI in terms of the speed at which he could pick up his misplaced glasses was also No.1 in terms of the quality of his work...

And it's not a particular song about happiness.
It's a song from a male perspective, a rare one.
But after I thought about it...
We decide that the character for this song shall be a girl, since I wanted a light and refreshing character for my song.

It pretty much ended like that.

So long!

Character Information

amamon.

The song was supposed to be from a male point of view, but after some complications, Asaki and I decided that it would be nice to have a normal, refreshing character for once.
So we ended up with a female character.

I asked the team designers what they think about her.
"Isn't that baby a doll?" and "She has a dark past, doesn't she?", were the comments I got, but she isn't like that at all. She is just a refreshing character who is a married lady.
Or at least it's feels like that...
