A Thousand Year Solo 千年の独奏歌 歌:風雅なおと 作詞:yanagi 作曲:yanagi ひとり灰色の丘 乾いた枯草踏みしめて 思い巡らせる 空の彼方に Alone on a gray hill, stepping on the withered grass. I let my thoughts wander, into the far side of the sky 風に揺れる花びら 柔らかな貴方の微笑み 淡い記憶のかけら セピア色の向こうの幻 The flower petals waver in the wind, like your gentle smile The fragments of faint memories, like an illusion on the far side of sepia 誰も知らない歌を奏でよう この身が錆びて停まろうとも Let's play a song known to no one Even if this body is to rust and stop 崩れかけた墓標に歌い続けよう 貴方の残した歌を I will continue to sing to the collapsing gravestone The song you left behind この体は全て 作り物でしかないけど この心はせめて 歌に捧げていよう Although this entire body is noting but artificial At least this heart, let it be dedicated to you in songs 沈む夕陽に向かう 色あせたギターを片手に 響く木霊に踊る 影法師 Towards the setting evening sun, a discoloured guitar in one hand. A silhouette dances in the resounding echoes 擦り切れた指先は 光を鈍く照り返して The worn out fingertips dully reflect the light 口ずさむメロディは 風に乗って空の向こうまで The melody i hummed rides the wind to the other side of the sky. かすかに軋む銀の歯車 The slight creaking of the silver gears 響いてゆく鈍色の鼓動 Its dull vibration reverhebrates ガラスの瞳に映るこの空は どんなまやかしだろう The sky that is reflected on these glass eyes Just how factitious is it? この月の下で もう廻り逢うこともないけど この空に向かって 歌い続けていよう Underneath this moon, there's no longer a way to meet you again, but Towards this sky, i will still continue to sing あなたと出逢ったすみれの丘も 幾千の夜に灰色の亡骸 Even the hill full of violets where I met you Over thousand of nights, only grey remains are left behind この体は全て 作り物でしかないけど この心はせめて 歌に捧げていよう Although this entire body is noting but artificial At least this heart, let it be dedicated to you in songs この月の下で もう廻り逢うこともないけど この空に向かって 歌い続けていよう Underneath this moon, there's no longer a way to meet you again, but Towards this sky, i will still continue to sing
Why is this song not as popular as I thought it would be ? The way he is tuned here sounds heavenly, you can even hear his voice break/crack/tremble in certain parts of the song due to emotion. It has such a melancholy, sad feeling to it that was portrayed very well.
