Kaguya's theme. ...I wonder who she's talking to. One of her suitors, perhaps? When the princess sent her suitors off on "impossible" missions, they were doomed to fail because they would run out of time. But, on an infinite timeline, even something with the slightest probability is bound to happen eventually.
Her power over the instantaneous and the eternal, her attitude about living in the present, and her relationship with Mokou all raise fascinating questions about the concept of time itself. I could go on "forever" about it... but I hope this song captures it in a fleeting instant.

I will be here, through the night, even still when the moon has sunken down to rest;
To the end, I’ll wait for you to fulfill my impossible request.
I will be here, through the night, even still when the moon has sunken down to rest;
To the end, I’ll wait for you to fulfill my impossible request.
And I’ve been here, through the day, ever since this bamboo was in a cradle shape.
Now it flies too high to reach, and too deep and too heavy to escape.
"Still, there’s no reason for you not to try.
Isn’t the fun in the journey, after all? …No?
Well, regardless of the details, you do have plenty of time.
A very wise friend once taught me: Given enough time in
the equation, even a nigh impossibility becomes a certainty."
Master, master- This is an emergency!
One misstep, and the world is on a hold.
Hearts beat faster- slower in the hourglass.
Lead this tale to unfold.
Faster, faster- Losing all the urgency.
Fade away, with a long-forgotten crime.
Gone forever- what’s forever, anyway?
Just one moment in time.
All this time, and still not enough to see…
Born to reach these corners of eternity…
Oh, join me in my pure land of fantasy…
Slowly breach this border of insanity…
So “here and now” is all of reality,
Leave that past, never looking back again.
Nothing less than “everything” will do for me:
I’ll wait calmly till then.
