Why do you see someone else... Why don't you stay by me...? tell me... please tell me... 胸に重ねた花びら千切れてく (You escaped from love... but I'm still lovin' you can't stop my love 4 you...) またわざとらしく微笑んだ 永遠だって言ってたくせに 突然な台詞 戸惑って 絡む煙草で指を焼いた I've lost you, I'm like a flower that's lost its color... I reach for the light, but it slips out of my arms... And I fall into the darkness... ―お願い、独りにしないで― セピアの風を纏って笑う君 (during night & day we should be together don't need anything more) 涙で謡う旋律白いまま (You escaped from love... but I'm still lovin' you can't stop my love 4 you...)

Nice to meet you all. I'm flare.
When I received this song from dj TAKA, I was actually quite worried if I could sing or write the lyrics in a way which suited the song.
As an amateur, it was quite difficult for me to fill with my own image a two minutes song.
In order to try to solidify this image, I watched romantic videos and read books....
I put a lot of effort into expressing my own thoughts as much as possible. But, it was still difficult (sweats).
The theme of this song is "heartbreak", but when you think about it, you feel really empty right after a heartbreak and filled with feelings that you can't properly put into words. (At least in my case)
When I tried to turn those vague emotions into words, I was worried that I would endlessly think about it and twist my body.
But, I came up with these lyrics. I'd say the first half is abstract, the middle section becomes more specific, and the latter half is abstract.
The singing and lyrics in the middle section felt vague, with troubled and painful human emotions, while the first and latter parts showed this through beautiful phrases and atmosphere.
I hope to express the feeling of having the most beautiful part of myself that can be seen when in love with someone, and conversely an ambiguous feeling of having all the dirtiest, saddest, weakest, and loneliest parts of myself, combined in this two minute song.
... Well, if you read the lyrics, they're pretty dark, aren't they? (laughs)
But I think that impression changes by combining them to this song.
I intend to provide meaning by singing the sad lyrics to this bright song, and vice versa.
Even in the cold darkness, there's also a warm light, which is like lights.
Finally, I'd be extremely happy if there was one person who listened to this song and likes it...☆
Thank you very much.
Video Production Information

I'm someone who creates basic art, as seen in BM4th (American or unusual styled), so it was a bit of an adventure to draw the animations for lights, "a song which expresses sad emotions through its beautiful words".
This is also flare's debut song in the beatmania IIDX series, so I couldn't create anything inappropriate! So I tried to work very hard and energetically to make this video as good as I could.
