Blessings from Magical City

We born alone, we live alone, we die alone.
Both happiness and sorrow, we experience it alone;
no one can feel what we actually feel...

Within this magic city called samsara,
illusions of beauty and ugly is conjured.

The magic of meeting ease our loneliness;
the magic of parting makes us want stay within this magical city.

Lacking of inherent nature,
both love and hatred dancing,
changing and rotating perpetually.

Soon, every memories of pain and happiness,
will become nothing more than a distant memories.

And thus, every expectation, hope, and fear,
will become nothing more than unreachable future.

Upon this sorrow, I write this words.

Within this endless cycle of birth and death,
and unending loneliness,
I pray that everyone could find happiness,
both temporary and eternally...

Tale of Two Suns

The gold has been polished,
The sun has shines brightly.
Thus, all duties has been finished.

From the joy that tainted by a bit sadness,
Sincerely I wish that you grant that warmth to many people;
as much as possible...

And you who has think of others above all things,
now is the time to think about yourself.
Forget not the peace that you found upon solitude...

Hologram

By : Nico Touches the Walls

I'm being invited by a pure-white scene.
I'm going to a yet-unseen world.

When I was a child, I wandered
Under the gray sky
With a different map each day, so many dreams ran together,
I wondered if someday 
I would make it beyond that cloud
Even though I was only taking these small steps
The falling raindrops
Persisted an irregular reflection
As though seeing into my heart
Wounded for acting strong

The rays of light crisscross
Going forever
without saying where they're headed.
My eyes are being burned by a fleeting afterimage
That's why I have to go to this yet-unseen world.

By posting black-and-white stickers
We unconsciously covered up our important things
A hologram called "dream" which was more beautiful than
Jewelstones, flowers, and the light of the stars,
And its buzzing

The scene which was painted by
Being forced out and opposing
Chagrin and loneliness
Are now blown off like bubbles

If I stumble on the straight road
And my scab tears off
I'll definitely become stronger than I currently am
I'm being invited by a pure-white scene
I'm going to a yet-unseen world.

Whenever I tremble at the shadow of tomorrow
In front of the misty sky, a rainbow-colored light
Calls at me from far away

The afternoon after a rainfall
The beams of light spread
Pouring out in bunches
The infinite gradations are mixing together
No matter where I am, under this sky
I'll surely arrive at that yet-unseen world.

Period

by CHEMISTRY

In the middle of an endless journey, at a point when we seem to stop,
We let loose a deep sigh.

We started to grasp it, but it parted from us.
However, now there is no longer anything we are afraid of.

The strong bonds that tie our hearts,
Will certainly never be undone.
We have continually searched and finally reached,
This place and period.

The love filled with warmth runs through the body,
Is a memory that will never fade

I will certainly fulfill my promise and bring you with me.
The overflowing dreams, and the wishes that are embraced, everything I will place into song.

Not averting your eyes from reality,   
With the courage to stand up and fight,
Change sadness and anger into strength.
Our fate is right nearby.

Look at what is ahead.
It is a sparkling world.

The cheers that shake me
I will not betray.
Together we are living for the sake of the future,
In this place and period.

The truth is at our fingertips.

Golden Time Lover

by Sukima Switch

I can't concentrate; my body is still hesitant.
It was trembling, but the blurry thought comes- 'I controlled it'.
Nothing is facing my way- not the sun, nor the luck dictating 'victory' or 'defeat', but
I muttered 'I've got to go for it' to persuade myself.

The situation looks grim, but it's gutless to just run away.
I can't see how things will end, but all I can do is courageously advance,
hold my instincts in check, and search the target for an opening.
The only thing you need is 'pride in victory'-
whether we taste the high-grade sake of 'triumph' or the bitterness of 'defeat',
they're just two parts of the same thing: the thread of fate I wish to manipulate.

The perfect 'golden time'- I'll seize it with these hands;
finish this by battling with a poker face that takes everything I've got.
Dragged away to an illusory world.

Escaping from this endless pressure game
so I can clear the borderline of glory.
How many..? How many reparations must be made?
What do you wish to avoid losing hold of?

Evidence supersedes argument;
the fact is that whoever gets results is the victor.
You can't be reticent; if things take too long we'll be discovered.
Read between the lines of discretion with honed senses;
what reduces our chance of winning right now
is a game sense based in reality.
Are the lurking, shadowy figures demons?
If they're just men, resolve to bravely face the challenge of scattering them.

Clapping your hands to make yourself cheer up in adversity,
attack at the last second with a unique fighting style.
Attention! It's dangerous; go beyond your limits.

Carve the greatest fairy tale into history
to display this moment of complete victory.
Are you ready? Clear your mind of indecision
and climb the staircase of Babel.

As you assume the smile of a goddess
I'm subsumed by your charm.
Lured in like this, I fall.

The boundless dream of desire in my heart swells up;
I won't be stopped by anyone.

The perfect 'golden time'- I'll seize it with these hands;
finish this by battling with a poker face that takes everything I've got.
Dragged away to an illusory world.

Escaping from this endless pressure game
so I can clear the borderline of glory.
How many..? How many reparations must be made?

Clapping your hands to make yourself cheer up in adversity,
attack at the last second with a unique fighting style.
Attention! It's dangerous; go beyond your limits.

Carve the greatest fairy tale into history,
snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and finish it magnificently.
Do you know? Fate is a plunderer.
Bathe in the glowing sunlight at Babel's summit.

Himawari no Yakusoku

by Motohiro Hata

Why do you cry, although I haven't even cried yet?
Because you feel more sadness than mine, I can't tell anymore which of us that suffers more

Today, which is supposed to be a useless day, becomes precious if we are together

I want to stand by you, so is there anything that I can do for you?
I want you to be smiling forever and always
Just like the sunflower, with all of its gentleness and warmth
From now on, I also want to reach out for the happiness because I realized that it lies here

Even if I'd be separated away from the far, litting future
I believe that we can just walk on our own way and meet again

Our steps that supposed to be apart are overlapping and becoming one just now

The fact that you're standing by me, and this casual moments we spend together, I won't forget it
Until comes the day when we set off into journey and wave our hand, I hope we can keep smiling
Just like the sunflower, with all of its gentleness and warmth
I want to pay you back, but this is you whom I'm talking about, so I'm sure you'll say that it's enough already

I want to stand by you, so is there anything that I can do for you?
I want you to be smiling forever and always
Just like the sunflower, with all of its gentleness and warmth
From now on, I also want to reach out for the happiness because I finally found its real meaning

Again

By : Yui

Though we should have been chasing the continuation of our dream
We trip over people on this narrow, winding road

Saying, "This is just like back then," doesn't mean I want to go back
I'm searching for the sky we lost
I want you to understand
So stop making a sad face like you're the victim

Your sins don't end with tears - you will carry them in suffering forever
Who are you waiting for, in this labyrinth of emotions with no seeable exit?
I want to spit out the words more honestly, like writing in a blank notebook
What are you wanting to escape from... this thing called reality?

It seems you've forgotten, in the middle of this night, that we're living to make our wish come true
We won't be able to take it safe... because we have no place to go back to
You still have too long a life left to erase those feelings completely, don't you think? (I'm on the way)
It takes me back, even pain like this is a welcome feeling

I really need to apologize, don't I? Ah, I'm sorry
I've made you worry because I couldn't say it right

I carried everything back then, and I'll carry everything tomorrow
I'm not going to make an order of them or anything
I want you to understand, so I quietly closed my eyes
And was able to see even things I didn't want to see

Which of those worthless rumors did I hear first?
We're friends after meeting just twice? Stop telling lies
It burns inside my body like my heart is red with irritation
Does it really give you hope? ...This thing called reality

I'm wanting to scream that we're living to make our wish come true - can you hear it?
We won't be able to take it safe, because we have no place to go back to
I'm always grateful for your kindness, that's why I want to be strong (I'm on the way)
I'll welcome friend or foe for the sake of moving forward

How exactly will you open the next door? What do you think??
You can't take it back now - the story has begun
Open your eyes, open your eyes

You still have too long a life left to erase these feelings completely, don't you think?
I want to redo the things I left undone,
So let's go, one more time!

I'm wanting to scream that we're living to make our wish come true - can you hear it?
We won't be able to take it safe, because we have no place to go back to
I'm always grateful for your kindness, that's why I want to be strong (I'm on the way)
It takes me back, even pain like this is a welcome feeling

Wind Climbing ~Fooled by the Wind~

Artist: Aki Okui

Every time my birthday rolled around
I never had a clue what they celebrated
That's when I learned when things were getting away
They wouldn't go back to me again

I felt so much regret about aging each year
Fearing how fast the day would go on

Even when things are pretty out of control
I'd rather be walking down this bumpy road
As long as you live with me
I might as well crawl up from the ground

Alone on the side street
Thinking how I would have deserved it
To him who got tired of walking this far
I'm pretending to be cold-hearted

My little self that got carried away,
fooled by the wind, stood out there in the end

Even when things are pretty out of control
I'd rather be walking down this bumpy road
As long as you live with me
I might as well crawl up from the ground

When it comes to the pain as I fell down and got hurt
It will be a mirage

Even when things are pretty out of control
They will be each one of the playful jokes
As long as you live with me
I might as well crawl up from the ground

Even when things are pretty out of control
I'd rather be walking down this bumpy road
As long as you live with me
I might as well crawl up from the ground

Melody in the Sky

By Hatsune Miku

A raindrop fell from the gray sky, and now it ran into my heart
Because of this high, black-painted wall, I can't even see the light
This town suddenly had lost its colors, but nobody even noticed it
The clock starts ticking, I also start moving. I'll forget even this pain and flow away

"Why do I keep living, forcing myself to smile like this?"

No matter how much I run after it, the everyday that we can't see ahead, just goes farther
I want to get hold of it, within the darkness, I'll be searching for that one light
In this blue-colored sky, I'll first raise up this melody
The wind will play a tune, wrap me up with embrace, and take me to tomorrow

Inside my headphones, I can hear a scream. Now, it pierces through me
I don't want to say anything, I don't want to hear anything. Where am I? Let me hear your voice

Searching for broken words, I got lost in this town, while I was barefoot

"No matter how much tears would flow, a new morning will go around you"
Although I repeat it like a chant, a usual morning will just go around me
I break down this wall, seize with my hands, and I'll see again the dream I wished for
Now I'm going to get back this new morning, and, someday I'll launch it in the sky

No matter how much I run after it, the everyday that we can't see ahead, just goes farther
I want to get hold of it, within the darkness, I'll be searching for that one light
In this blue-colored sky, I'll first raise up this melody
The wind will play a tune, wrap me up with embrace, and take me to tomorrow

Ethics vs Hypocritical

What is difference between hypocritical and self-restrain?

What is difference between hypocritical and being polite?

Can someone living while always shouting out what is within their heart without considering other's feeling for the sake of being non-hypocritical?

Memories Fallacy

Being crushed by loneliness,
we lose every piece of sanity.
Memories of truth or lies,
By passing time, fall into vanity.

~ Re-word from "The Lost Memories" by Vocaloid

Lament Upon the Sky

Being dyed into a sepia color,
this is a scene I have seen before.
Gazing up at the listless skies,
I see an afternoon mixed with cries.

~ Re-word from "The Lost Memories" by Vocaloid

Growing Together

Clow card : The return - The twin - The time

No matter how far we're apart,
again and again we meet in the end.

No matter how graves we mistakes,
there is always a chance to fix it.

With each blow we experience,
may we flourish into the brightest stars.

Giving Hope

Clow card : The dark - The twin - The light

There is a time when I didn't find courage to act.
Sleeping under lightless night, never expecting morning.
By a chance we meet, trough your existence I find hope.
Things to be cherished, let's polish it to shape a bright future.

A Sincere Wish

Sincere prayer I offer day and night,
Ardent wish for you to find happiness.
Neither meeting nor parting is true,
On this holiest place all is pure.

Lightless Night

When it's hard to see the light,
let your heart rest within the darkness.
Rather than expecting sun in the night,
it's better to be content with the lightless night.

Meeting and Parting

Outwardly we meet and part,
again and again within this seemingly endless circle.

Inwardly we meet and part in memory,
as long as we remember each other, we are actually meeting.

Body and memory will fade.
From nothingness do they come,
to nothingness will they pass...

Secretly we're united in prayer,
only trough selfless aspiration, we're never separated.

let's enter this place,
where neither you nor I exists.
I am you, you are me.
No meeting, no parting...
