Lyrics

Japanese

次元の民 覚醒めの声
断ち切る夢 孤児の月
生まれ落ちた深淵の暗がりに
未完の予言を書き示せ

全てはそう 星が誘う
愚かに 鮮やかに 散り行く
舞い落ちた羽根が 指し示す先は 破滅の道

銀河に抱かれた天使たちよ
アンドロメダが照らす祈り
広く 熱く 重なってゆく

はぐれた星の背を駆け抜けて
サザンクロスの描く軌道
無限の愛を歌にのせた

鎖す瞳 静寂の闇 被り
刻を待つ

銀河に抱かれた天使たちよ･･･
遠く 高く 天に舞う
時空を引き裂いた天使たちよ
乱れた糸を繋ぐ音色
悠久の刻を飛び越せ

Romaji

jigen no tami, mezame no koe
tachikiru yume, minashigo no tsuki
umareochita shinen no kuragari ni
mikan no yogen o kakishimese

subete wa sou, hoshi ga sasou
oroka ni azayaka ni chiriyuku
maiochita hane ga sashishimesu saki wa hametsu no michi

ginga ni idakareta tenshitachi yo
ANDROMEDA ga terasu inori
hiroku atsuku kasanatte yuku

hagureta hoshi no se o kakenukete
SOUTHERN CROSS no egaku kidou
mugen no ai o uta ni noseta

ginga ni idakareta tenshitachi yo...
tooku, takaku, ten ni mau
jikuu o hikisaita tenshitachi yo
midaita ito o tsunagu neiro

English

The voice which wakes up the people of this dimension
A severed dream, an orphaned moon
In the darkness of the newly-created abyss
An unfinished prophecy is created

Everything is as usual, the star is calling
Foolishly, skillfully, scattering
The falling feather leads the path of destruction

Angels embraced by the galaxy!
The prayers which illuminate Andromeda
Are sent with passion from far and wide, one after the other

Passing through the back of a lost star and overtaking it
On the southern cross’ path of orbit
Infinite love was sent out in a song

With eyes closed, shrouded in silent darkness
Waiting for their moment

Angels embraced by the galaxy...
Far and high, circling through the sky
The angels who separated space and time
The tone colour which rejoins broken threads
Leaping through infinite time

Character Information

tokky

It's iO-LOWER! The pair on a mission to fight a war.
The yellow-haired one, iO, is the pair's physical power, and the one with sunglasses, LOWER, is the intelligence.

It was my first time in a while being in charge of character animation, and I had a hard time designing humanoid characters; so mayo created the original design drafts.
I thought the fact that they weren't quite human was really cool. Since iO is a little more muscular than usual, I had fun drawing his arms and legs ^^
LOWER, being the intelligent type, has a much thinner and less muscular body; so instead of directly fighting people, he was given the ability to create a shield-like barrier instead.
Please notice the differences between the two~!

Under normal circumstances, such different people would never spend time around each other; but since they're the angels of the galaxy, they need to work together, right?
When they're on a mission together, they can cover for each other's weaknesses. If iO was alone, he'd just keep on attacking everything impulsively and never resolve the battle. If LOWER was alone, he wouldn't have the power to fight at all.
The two create the perfect balance between calm and energy.
With one wing each, they're two halves of a pair; maybe they're not complete unless they're with each other?

Speaking of which, wouldn't it be funny if they did a manzai routine together? The laughter they'd inspire together would create a war-ending peace! ...But a peaceful solution is probably too high a hurdle to clear, and the stars will continue to collapse as usual...
