Japanese

彼の地を守り継ぐ 黒き剣
これは歴史を越えた はじまりの調べ

孤高の狼は その刃を
気高き姫に 捧げ仕えた

嗚呼 護るべき者を
収めるべき鞘を見つけたのなら・・・

「迷う事なく 行く手阻む絶望も断ち切って
必ず主の元へ戻ろう」

誰よりも強き意志で 祖国の明日を切り開き
戦地に散った英雄の剣

永久に此処で 君と共にあろう――

Romaji

ka no chi wo mamori tsugu kuroki tsurugi
kore wa toki wo koeta hajimari no shirabe

kokou no ookami wa sono yaiba wo
kedakaki hime ni sasage tsukaeta

aa mamoru beki mono wo
osameru beki saya wo mitsuketa no nara...

"mayou koto naku yuku te habamu zetsubou mo tachikitte
kanarazu kimi no moto he modorou"

dare yori mo tsuyoki ishi de sokoku no asu wo kiri hiraki
senchi ni chitta eiyuu no SPADA

towa ni koko de kimi to tomo ni arou--

Long Version

Japanese


彼の地を守り継ぐ 黒き剣
これは歴史を越えた
はじまりの調べ

孤独な狼は その刃を
唯 生きる為 振るい続けた

嗚呼 命の重さも
強さの意味さえも 分からないまま

「奪う事ばかり重ねて虚無にのまれ
果てるよりその手で何を与えられる?」

凛とそう告げた曇りなき瞳に
心揺さぶられ 君に誓った 忠誠の剣

豊かな彼の国を 暗雲が覆い
嘆きの雨が降る 戦いの調べ

孤高の狼は その刃を
気高き姫に捧げ仕えた

嗚呼 護るべき者を
収めるべき鞘を見つけたのなら…

例え幾多の不死の屍が
道を塞ごうと
恐れを払って立ち向かう

誰かのために振るう剣の強さを 優しさを
胸に宿した騎士は姫に誓う

「迷う事なく
行く手阻む絶望も断ち切って
必ず主の元へ戻ろう」

誰よりも強き意志で 祖国の明日を切り開き
戦地に散った英雄の剣

永久に此処で 君と共にあろう――

Music Comment

From "beatmania IIDX".

Song Production Information

Nekomata Master

This song was made with the motif of a fleeting sad hero who is in the middle of a never-ending battle that unfolds in the world of SPADA.
With Haruka Shimotsuki's, clear and beautiful vocals, the story was brilliantly sung.

Farewell, land of eternity
May the sword be with you


I'm kidding.

Video Production Information

Seiichi Itagaki

It's been a while, or maybe it's nice to meet you, I'm Seiichi Itagaki.
Continuing on from tricoro, I was in charge of a generic movie.

As you can see, this time there are swords! Flames! And cool English text!
That's what I had in mind when creating a video that was perfect for SPADA.

I went to the location test, and looked around thinking "this is what beatmania is looks like this time around", which was a very interesting thing to do when I ended up making a video myself.
