Untranslated.
=== Kinjishi ===
I tried to stop Kirin from losing control. I couldn't, lest something happened.
 
Losing control was inevitable, with the fast piano sounds and the low bass.
 
I wasn't careful. With some effort, the Kinjinshi VS Kirin collaboration created "Broken Sword", the ultimate in modern music. I'm good.
 
=== Kirin ===
I am Kirin, the reclusive survivor.
 
This song, my first, "Broken Sword", is a collaboration with my brother, Kinjinshi.
 
We played. I smiled. He laughed.
 
We, with our swords, shall fight. (But broken swords can't kill.)
