Lyrics

Japanese

夕暮れ 遠くに伸びる 長い二人の影を目で追いながら 
手を繋いで帰った 
鳴る小さな 小さな 鈴の音 
一様に並んでいる鳩時計と一緒に鳴るよ 
りんりりぃん 
響く小さな小さな音

ある朝 彼はお偉いさん 
「君は僕がいなくても平気ですか?」 
震えてるその手から漏れている 堂々巡りの迷妄 
とても汚い色した 吐き気を催す丹の笑み 
りんりりぃん 
響く彼女の鈴の音

白装束の老婆が背中で笑う 
そうさ ペロリと 舌出しながら 
「右手は空へ 左手は海へ捨て 
立派に蒼天仰げよ!」 
と論う鴉たちは右へならえ

至極是当然と並べ立てた理想と幸せは雨催い 
茫漠と広がり解ける 
耳元で囁く 
「鬼さんこちら 手の鳴る方へ」 
白雲消えてゆく

「嘘をつくキサマらの舌なんてチョン切って捨ててやる! 
ずっと待つんだ!彼を待つんだ!」 
見えぬ聞こえぬ 
「何も無い方がいい」と笑う 
金魚鉢に写る彼女はくるくる流れる

「お元気ですか?」 
彼女の手紙 ある日を境に途絶えた

何度目かの緑雨に染まる鳥が風を連れてきた 
でもいない あの子は黙して音色 
あの飴色空 影を延ばすことは無いでしょう 
鈴は鳴り響く

「僕は帰ってきたよ!」 
鴉の喚声 暮色に消ゆ 
彼は走った!そして涙こらえて そっと扉開けた! 
そこには 彼女の時をのせた 鈴の音だけが

Song Production Information

Asaki

Hello everyone! Buuekkushoiyappuii! Phooey!
I'm the one who made the first long music for the game, which makes me a pollinosis man.
The world doesn't need anything like pollen.
And well... That's how I introduce the song.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who like this kind of music. At least, I think so.
I don't know if you like this kind of music, but I don't care if you don't, because this song makes my nose hurt.
It's not a flashy song like usual, but if you listen carefully, the melody is even darker than what I usually do. But the instruments move and intertwine flamboyantly, and I think it's pretty cool.
Please enjoy the story through the movie and song, lick the drops, and play the song without hesitation.
For now, roroppuroroppu~ukkushi~yoiyappu~in! Bururi~n!
And craaaaawk! Mou~bakaaaaaaw!

But without pollen, there's no way anything can pollinate...
And if that happens, there won't be any greens on the earth...

That's why I'm one of the people who like songs like this.
And since I like this kind of song, I decided to make a movie that I like.
It's quite dark anyhow, but you can see that's a cat. It's a meowing cat. Meow.
Well, I saw a kitten the other day.
I was mildly intimidated by it. Meow.
Well, let's put that story aside...
Cats act like a suspension bridge between the present and the past.
They tell stories to future generations.
But they also tell the stories that usually cannot be told.

The movie itself is a storytelling device, so please look carefully and enjoy it.
It's rare for me to make something while thinking about it.
When I found out the truth of the story, I got hit by the darkening.
I'm sure you will get hit by the darkening as well.
