#also ik there isnr alot if analysis. im not really good at that stuff but i needed my thoughts out there ok

[male--byleth]

valkyrie should sing more ali project songs. miwaku geki and sei shounen yuugi aren't enough for me anymore I NEED MORE !!

I'm so excited for the upcoming yuukyou seishunka cover w/akatsuki BUT ITS JUST MAKES ME THINK OF MORE SONGS THAT I WANT COVERS OF TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such as the openings for the anime Rozen Maiden the group did, that anime is LITERALLY perfect, all about dolls and them wanting to reach perfection.

The first seasons song and its second seasons song would fit perfectly. The special's song style doesn't fit as well as the previous ones but this songs lyrics are my favorite out of all of them so I figure I'd still mention it. There is also the remake's opening and although that songs bangs, the lyrics are NOT Valkyrie-like and that is all I shall say.

Also should point out of this picture of the main singer holding a doll of one of the characters in the anime... Sure looks familiar huh....

There is also the other ending for Code Geass (the anime that used yuukyou seishunka) made by Ali project, found here. I apologize for the lack of English lyrics, a translation can be found here.

The lyrics aren't exactly spot on with Valkyrie since the imagery uh, shows more of a nurturing role than something that rules b/c they are powerful. But some of the lyrics such as:

"The world of man is ogreish; what might justice be?"

-

"The mudra of revelation; what might truth be?"

And my favorite,

"O, you chosen princes

Battle: that is your celebratory throne"

When I see this lyric, I connect it to the "princes" being Shu and Mika attempting to take back their throne from fine in Yumenosaki (the battle being their performances).

Even the more motherly lines I mentioned, though not the... exact wording I think Valkyrie would take, but the idea of Valkyrie being an all knowing entity, its beauty impossible to match.

"Ah, I am the beautiful omniscience

The loving mother who birthed you"

-

"Ah, I am the beautifully elegant virtue

The mother's love that nourishes you"

The next song I want to mention is the opening for the anime Kamichama Karin. I've never watched it but from a quick synopsis read, it's about a middle schooler who finds out she can transform into a goddess. Ali project has a pattern with their older songs lyrics if you haven't noticed, they all revolve around all mighty power or have some gothic themes.

The song focuses with the singer being a "goddess" and the listener being a "devil". The goddess talks of all the evil in the world and that it is impossible for the listener to ever reach heaven.

"The wings of a butterfly

Or even the saliva of the angels

Won't take you

to an unseen paradise"

(me when butterfly imagery)

"My body splits apart

And I’ll reunite with a fragment in heaven

We’re demigods"

I LOVEEEE this line. When related to Valkyrie, interpreting this lyric as the goddess being the group itself, as if it is an entity (as it has been referred to in canon before). Valkyrie splits into two parts and they meet again in heaven as demigods.

I will admit though. Part of the reason I want this song covered is because I would love to hear Shu and Mika sing the lyrics Darling and Honey. I would like that very much :) it's time for Shu to say darling, isn't it?

Now for the last song I'll talk about, A Declaration of War Against Fallen Heaven.

Based of the title, you probably see where I'm going with this. There is so much in this song that you can point out my god.

"Our true selves, unknown to anyone,

are the ones capable of changing this dwindled world."

I'm not sure if analysing is even worth it.

"Resist! Even if we writhe in pain from repeated defeats,

onto the scars covering our bodies, let's engrave our dreams.

In order prevent our present memories from being buried,

we must head towards tomorrow."

Just READ it.

"Holding on to our elegant frailty,

can it be that we're merely botched dolls

from God's work of artistic creation?"

Ali Project really liked dolls huh?

"Fight! Our confluent cries will be our oath.

The strength we have brought together

is even more sacred than love."

This has Raisanka vibes. Actually no every Ali Project song has Raisanka vibes I'm not gonna lie.

For honorable mentions: Kotodama reminds me of Ex-Valkyrie tons. The bands most popular song, Kyomu Desen, and the anime is used for does relate to dolls which is always a plus.

Here is a playlist of all the songs I mentioned plus some other other songs that I didn't mention but still love!

I'm SOOOOOOOO happy for the upcoming cover song, I truly do love both the game and this group dearly and seeing them come together again after years is a wish come true!!!! Thank you for reading if you did ^^ I appreciate you
