Japanese

星降る空眺め  叶わぬまま散った願いを  胸の奥  繰り返した
自分も何もかも捨ててしまった事  ただ虚しく思えた

あの頃  君に逢う為に  素顔を裏に秘め隠して
求められる姿だけを  笑って演じていたよ

声も届かない  孤独な空  舞い続けた
ほんの僅かでもいい  傍に居て欲しかった─────
････月日は流れ  幸せの欠片さえ  もう  今は見えない

傷を塞ぐ様に  きらびやかなドレス纏い
踊る私の何処が満たされて見えたのか  ねえ､教えてよ

残酷な未来でも  戻れない恋だった
幸せの欠片さえ  もう  今は見えない

Romaji

hoshi furu sora nagame kanawanu mama chitta negai wo mune no oku kurikaeshita
jibun mo nani mo kamo sutete shimatta koto tada munashiku omoeta

ano koro kimi ni au tame ni sugao wo ura ni hime kakushite
motomerareru katachi dake wo waratte enjiteita yo

koe mo todokanai kodoku na sora mai tsuzuketa
honno wazuka demo ii soba ni ite hoshikatta ――――――
....toki wa nagare shiawase no kakera sae mou ima wa mienai

kizu wo fusagu you ni kirabiyaka na DRESS matoi
odoru watashi no doko ga mitasarete mieta no ka nee, oshiete yo

zankoku na mirai demo modorenai koi datta
shiawase no kakera sae mou ima wa mienai

English

As I gaze at the starry sky, I repeatedly chanted deep within my heart of my wish that was never fulfilled but lost
I merely thought in vain, the fact that I threw it all away including myself

Those days, I hid my face behind it in order to see you
I smiled and performed only as the person that was wanted of me

Nobody's voice can be heard, in dreams of solitude, I kept dancing
Even if it was only slightly, I wanted you to be close to me ――――――
････Time has passed and now I cannot even see a fragment of happiness anymore

Wrapped in gorgeous dresses as if concealing my wounds
Hey, which part of me looked fulfilled while I was dancing, please tell me

Even if it meant a cruel future, this was love I couldn't go back on
Now I can't even see a fragment of happiness anymore

Long Version

Japanese

星降る空眺め　叶わぬまま散った願いを　胸の奥　繰り返した 自分を何もかも捨ててしまった事　ただ虚しく思えた あの頃　君に逢う為に　素顔を裏に秘め隠して 求められる姿（かたち）だけを　笑って演じていたよ 声も届かない　孤独な夢　舞い続けた ほんの僅かでもいい　傍に居て欲しかった―――― ……月日（とき）は流れ　幸せの欠片さえ　もう　今は見えない 今宵　また何処かで奏でられる旋律（メロディー）　宴に集う君と淑女達 情熱に任せて　グラス片手に転がし　踊り明かす夜 あの日　酔い痴れた台詞を　今は誰かに囁くでしょう 鏡に映した自分が　滑稽で　涙溢れた 声も届かない　迷宮だと　解っていた ほんの僅かでもいい　君に愛されたくて―――― ……月日（とき）は流れ　幸せの欠片さえ　もう　今は見えない 未だに消えない…… 偽りだと解ってても　躯体中 君の痕　焦げ付いて　離れない……！ 傷を塞ぐ様に　きらびやかなドレス纏い 踊る私の何処が満たされて見えたのか　ねえ、教えてよ 残酷な未来でも　戻れない恋だった 幸せの欠片さえ　もう　今は見えない 幸せの欠片さえ　もう　今は見えない

Wrapped in gorgeous dresses as if concealing my wounds Hey, which part of me looked fulfilled while I was dancing, please tell me Even if it meant a cruel future, this was love I couldn't go back on Now I can't even see a fragment of happiness anymore Now I can't even see a fragment of happiness anymore

• In 코나미 팝픈뮤직2 카니발, masquerade's title was changed to 가면무도회 ("gamyeonmudohoe").
  • However, the 코나미 팝픈뮤직2 카니발 official site sorted it as masquerade.
• On the American iTunes page for ЁVOLUTIФN, masquerade's title and artist were changed to Masquerade and This Night (TЁЯra Version), respectively.
• masquerade received a jacket on the KONAMI♪MUSICフル service. This jacket has never been used in a BEMANI game.
• Keysounds and the preview audio for masquerade can be found unused in the beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro data. It also has a generic video assigned to it, SIRIUS HOUSE.
  • It was the only song with sound data found in tricoro that did not appear in beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA.
