Gensokyouku ~Eternal Silence~

Lately I've been really addicted to this song "Gensokyouku ~Eternal Silence~" by the Visual Kei band Phantasmagoria. The song is auto-played in my blog. However I will embed the video here for you all to enjoy :)

Lyrics (Translated)

Beyond that hill, a stone paved street rises up
like the sun and your favorite piano notes,
The common daily incidents are lodged in these notes forever
An umbrella weeps, the day is filled with the moon,
the reason of the day that we met by chance

You are alive, Let me hear your pulse and the flowing of your blood~

Chorus:

I wish heaven, I want to meet you
I'm eternally walking through thse ordinary days
I wish heaven, I want to meet you
Let me be the way I am at time's whereabouts~

Alone, I approached the moonlit road
where I recall you and the piano notes I heard.
I don't need anyone's voice.
I wonder if I will still get to heart those notes now.

Moving past memories, I see you as if its the day we first met.
You are alive. Let me hear your pulse and the flowing of your blood~

I wish heaven, I want to meet you
Its too cold, too quiet.
I wish heaven, I want to meet you
Time's door won't open, neither will your eyes.

Bridge:
Will there be silence for eternity? Can my wish be granted?
I won't say goodbye even if I can't meet you right away~

I wish heaven, because if the time comes... I can see you anytime
I wish heave, I came to meet you...

I will look at that flower

until that day comes...

Our Journey

This song was introduced to me by Samantha, "Our Journey" performed by J-pop artist Melody. The lyrics really touched me and here I want to share with you all.

Our Journey

I've seen you before
In the back of my memory
I looked in your eyes
And felt the truth in me


You're finally here
Been waiting so long
You took my hand
And told me to believe

Now I know that you are the answers to my prayers and
You are my warmth and my strength, I'm not afraid now
Time will soon embrace our bound destiny
I'll spread my wings and fly to where I belong
This is our journey

You picked me up
From the shadows of pain
How was I to know
That I would love again

So I know that often our minds maybe misleading
But my heart is not willing to stop, I feel it burning
Time will soon embrace our bound destiny
I'll spread my wings and fly to where I belong

It hurts to be untrue
To what I've gained through you
I cannot live forever
I know that I belong to only you...

So I know that often our minds maybe misleading
But my heart is not willing to stop. I feel it burning
Time will soon embrace our bound destiny
Unfold my wings and I'm flying to you...

Now I know that you are the answers to my prayers and
You are my warmth and my strength, I'm not afraid now
Time will soon embrace our bound destiny
So spread my wings and I'm flying to you,
Cause I know that where I belong is with you,
And my heart will flourish on moments that I'm...
With you.

A Meaningful Song

All final year students:

Teachers brought us up, as well as our fathers and mothers.
Now all of us are graduating from the Youryuu Female Academy High School, and once more we offer our gratitude. From here on, everybody will make progress along this road, one at a time. Today's promotion we will never forget.
From tomorrow onwards, we will walk forward.

*Conversation between the two girls*

Girl 1: From this moment onwards, a year later or 5 years, or even 10 years...no matter how many years pass by, how do you think we'll remember today?

Girl 2: Hmmm... I have no idea.

Girl 1: "Ahhh, that was so sad," even now I can pretty much remember the same feeling. Even so, as I remember that, everyone will become so busy or maybe wonder, "I guess that was kinda sad."

Girl 2: I won't forget, ever.

Girl 1: They left for home already, It's too early!

Girl 2: I want to stop time.

Girl 1: What?

Girl 2: I want things to stay forever this way.

Girl 1: Well then... shall we go say goodbye?

Girl 2: To who?

Girl 1 : To the school, you coming?

Girl 2: I'll stay here a little longer.

Girl 1: Ok, well I'll see you later.

English Translation

By the window in the classroom is a bright, sunny spot.
The Spring calendar doesn't have much space left on it
During class, I look around and although we're wearing the same school uniform,
everybody looks like an adult.

With each of our own future,
we start our trip on each of our backs and grow the wings of our dreams~

Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom,
The bell of hope resounds somewhere,
It gives us the freedom and courage for tomorrow.

Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom,
Someone, somewhere is surely praying,
To be able to open the door to a new world with their own two hands~

There were times when we fought, called each other, and cried
Why do those troubled days feel so nostalgic?
There was joy and sadness...looking back, it was a journey.
No matter when, we were never alone.

In the middle of our graduation picture,
I'm smiling. The passing season wants to send us off, Good-Bye~

The petals of these tears go pitter-patter,
On these cheeks they flow and fall,
As we look up to the blue sky,
we breathe in deeply and start walking.

The petals of these tears go pitter-patter,
They're only as beautiful as you remember them to be,
Let's climb up the stairs to adulthood that are
right in front of us and wave our hands together~
