Inspirational Drabble

Summary: The match between Inarizaki and Karasuno is about to start! The crowd was buzzing with excitement, ready to cheer their hearts out for their favorite team. As everyone prepared themselves, one person couldn't help but torment himself. Luckily, Asahi didn't have to drown in his self-deprecating thoughts as someone became a lifeline.

Word Count: 2.8K

Warnings: Spoilers from the manga, especially chapters 248 and 249! A lot of fluff. Inspired by the picture above!

Asahi tried his best to breathe as normal as he could. He had to stay calm, not just for his sake but for his team’s sake. All of their hard work paved their way all the way to Nationals.

Out of habit, Asahi traced the kanji of person (人) on his palm before swallowing it. It might look like a silly routine but it helped. Though for some reason, he wasn't as nervous as he usually was. They're playing against Inarizaki, one of the top favorites to win this whole thing.

Yet, here he was hoping to catch another glimpse of his opponents before the match officially started. Specifically, the girl that brought a storm of warm emotions inside his stomach. (L/N) (Y/N), Inarizaki's manager, the girl he met just yesterday but already made her way into his fast beating heart.

The eagerness to see her again began this morning when he woke up in the very shirt she gifted him. It wasn't just the fabric that kept him warm but the feelings he had for (Y/N) as well. It almost seemed to good to be true but once he replayed the conversations and read their texts from yesterday, Asahi could honestly believe that (Y/N) wasn't just his dream girl... She's the girl he wanted to be with.

But would she go for someone like him?

He hoped so and if not... Well, a guy could dream, right?

"On a different topic entirely," Suga began as everyone finished changing into their alternate uniforms. "I saw a girl carrying an Atsumu fan earlier. Is he an idol now?!"

"Actually, he pretty much is for high school volleyball. The Inarizaki team garners a different kind of popularity than Itachiyama." Coach Ukai explained. "They have a solid core of talent and a wide array of spectacular, crowd-pleaser plays. That makes them the ultimate contenders."

"We do see them getting interviewed on TV a lot too." Suga pointed out.

Asahi confirmed with a nod. "(Y/N) mentioned yesterday how they're always being interviewed by multiple reporters and journalists."

"Oh?" Suga smirked up at him. "Was this on your date yesterday?"

"N-No. We were just talking." He defended though he couldn't do anything to hide the stutter in his voice. "She even told me she once got interviewed."

"Woah, really? That's cool! I guess that's the advantage that comes with being a part of a high class powerhouse school. I mean, have you seen their cheering section? It's huge."

"And that means no one here... Not a single person in this whole crowd, thinks we have a chance."

To his and Suga's surprise, it was Daichi who voiced this sad fact. Asahi wondered if he was in an alternate dimension. Ever since last night, his friend has been wound up.

"Gah! Daichi, what's gotten into you?!" Suga shouted. "Pull it together, man!"

Asahi was just about to say something similar when he saw Daichi lips turn into a smile. His eyes gleamed with determination as he said, "Now I'm fired up!"

The two third-years sighed in relief, knowing they had nothing to worry about as their captain was back to normal.

"It's about time you snapped back to yourself, Daichi." Suga commented.

Asahi nodded in agreement. "Yeah. You've been awfully quiet since last night. Meek, even."

"H-Hey! I-I was focusing."

~

The moment Daichi opened the doors to the main arena everyone was blown away at the sheer intensity the crowd produced. The lights of the gym shined like mini suns above his head. The gleam of the laminated floor looked untouched, almost spotless. It was enticing, begging to be played on.

Then there was the crowd. Asahi can easily see their supporters standing behind their signature black banner, sporting their signature orange colors. It was a welcoming sight.

The warm reassuring feeling quickly left his body when he looked at Inarizaki's section. They had triple the amount of fans Karasuno had, not to mention they even had cheerleaders and a marching band. It almost made Shiratorizawa cheer section tiny in comparison.

Asahi clenched his fist tightly and took another deep breath to calm down his nerves. Though the Inarizaki's marching band wasn't helping his case at all.

Suddenly, the crowd cheered loudly and Asahi took this as a sign that their opponents have made their appearance. Which means-

(Y/N) walked next to Inarizaki's coach, looking unbothered by the amount of fans cheering for her team. The smile on her face was enough to calm his nerves from her intimidating teammates. Even from the other side of the court, his eyes met with her (E/C) ones. The connection was instant as they smiled at one another.

"Aran!!"

"Atsumu!!"

"Osamu!!"

"Okay." DU-DUM! "Let's go." Daichi's voice could barely be heard over the marching band's drums.

So he tried again. "I said, let's-" WAAAA!!

This time it was the cheerleaders' collective cheering.

Asahi watched as Daichi grew frustrated with the crowd's interference. So much so that the captain yelled from the top of his lungs, "LET'S!! GO!!"

"Yeah!!"

~

Official Warm-Ups

(Y/N) felt her heart lurch against her chest when she saw Asahi again. She felt a bit silly with how happy Karasuno's ace makes her, especially when they spoke to each other just a few minutes ago.

She shook those thoughts from her head. Now was not the time to daydream about Asahi.

'Focus! Your team needs you!' Thought her brain. 'Don’t get distracted!'

'But Asahi's so cute. He’s such a gentle giant.' Her heart argued. 'Omg, his biceps look amazing! Just imagine having those strong arms wrapped around you and having him lean down to kiss-'

'STOP! Now is NOT the time to think about that! At least, wait till AFTER the match is over.' Her brain tried to reason.

'Fine…' Her heart relented to her brain’s demand but it only took one more glance before crumbling once again. 'Those broad shoulders though… Asahi is literally hot guy status.'

“(Y/N)!”

“Yes, Coach?”

“It’s the twins' turn to warm-up and you know how superstitious they are. You know what to do, right?"

"Yes, sir."

She caught the ball with ease and made her way to where Atsumu and Osamu were waiting for her.

Ever since the Miya twins joined the club, they began a silly little routine of her tossing the ball for Atsumu to set to his brother. The first time was during the twins' first appearance playing for Inarizaki. Usually, the coach or assistant coach would do the tosses during warm-ups, but at the time they were occupied which led her to do the toss for them. Atsumu was perfect with his set and Osamu effortlessly spiked the ball. From then on, they demanded, Atsumu more than Osamu, for her to toss for them in future warm-ups, claiming she had the lucky touch.

(Y/N) smiled to herself at the memory. She didn't believe in luck but she went along with it. For two years, she tossed them the ball in each official warm-up and now that this was her last year with them... Well, they weren't going to change tradition now.

"You guys ready?" She asked them, tossing the volleyball up and down.

"Heck yeah!" Atsumu answered excitedly. He held up his hand for her to high-five. "No way are we going to lose."

(Y/N) laughed as her hand connected with his. She turned her attention on Osamu, the small pout on his lips was enough to know what was on his mind.

"The faster we win the match, the quicker we can go out to eat. I'll even treat you to dessert. How does that sound, 'Samu?"

With the promise of food, the twin straightened up and high-fived her. His eyes sparkled with joy. "Let's show these guys what Nationals is all about."

With both twins looking eager to start, (Y/N) stepped back and stood next to the net as the twins also went to their positions. Without meaning to, she looked over at Karasuno's players and internally smirked when all eyes were waiting to see the twins in action.

After counting to three, (Y/N) tossed the ball in a beautiful arch as it made its way to Atsumu's waiting hands. Not surprisingly, the ball was set perfectly for Osamu to spike strongly.

"Nice kill!" She told them, her chest swelling with pride.

"One more!" Osamu called out.

(Y/N) raised a brow and was about to ask why when she saw both twins sharing a look.

"Alright, last one!"

Tossing the ball one more time, (Y/N) watched as the twins jumped in unison and her smile grew when she witnessed Osamu displaying his setting skills for Atsumu to spike.

"Ha! Ha! Super body and soul switch time delayed spike!"

'If only they could find a better name for that move...'

Despite the move they just did wasn't a delayed spike, it still made the crowd go crazy, screaming several compliments.

After the twins waved to their fans, they made their way to her.

"How was that, (Y/N)-senpai?! It looked cool, didn't it?!" Atsumu bombarded, looking for her praise more than anything (as if the crowd's praises weren't enough for him).

"Amazing as always, Miyas!" She complimented them as she clapped both of their shoulders before making them lean down to her level. "What's your reason for doing that move?"

Atsumu looked smug while Osamu answered her. "We have to prove the other team what we're all about."

"Uh-huh..." (Y/N) raised a brow looking unconvinced with his answer. "Now give me the real reason."

The twins looked at each other and (Y/N) wondered if twin telepathy was real because a few seconds later Atsumu sighed before replying, "To intimidate that crush of yours. He kept starin' at you when you weren't lookin'. It's creepy."

Osamu lifted his head for a second before crouching back down. "He's still starin'."

"Oh my god, you guys. I appreciate you caring for me but focus on what's important, okay? Right now, in your eyes, Asahi is your opponent so just view him as that and nothing more."

And with that, (Y/N) gave the twins another pat on their shoulders before making her way to the bench. Unbeknownst to her, the twins didn't take her advice to heart. Instead, they focused on something else.

"Did ya notice how she's on a first name basis with that guy, 'Tsumu?"

The twin nodded as he placed his hands on his hips, his eyes narrowing on Karasuno's #3 from across the net. "They literally met yesterday, 'Samu! How did that samurai guy make an impression on our manager?!"

Osamu shrugged his shoulders because the answer was a mystery to him as well. "You're just jealous that (Y/N) likes him."

Atsumu whipped his head to glare at his brother. "AM NOT!"

"Are too."

"Am not!"

Osamu sighed, not wanting to continue this argument. "Whatever. We still have to beat them."

"Without question. If he can't beat us then he has no right to even talk to (Y/N)-senpai." Atsumu declared.

"Agreed."

The twins took one more look at Karasuno's ace, making a mental note to pay special attention on the guy… and crush him.

Miyagi Prefecture Rep: Karasuno High School (1st Appearance in 5 Years, 9th Appearance Overall)

~

It was time. Both teams stood on either side of the court, every member held a sense of seriousness as they tried to make themselves as imposing as possible.

At the sound of the referee's whistle, every emotion seemed to jump to another level. Asahi's hands fidgeted anxiously. Call it paranoia but he felt like he was wearing a large target. It looked like everyone wearing a black Inarizaki uniform were glaring daggers at him. He hoped it was just his imagination.

Then there was (Y/N) by the sidelines. Even from afar, he could see the excitement in her eyes. She looked so angelic with that smile of hers. He felt a wave of relief when he recalled how much support she gave him the day before.

"I’m not saying you should just get over yourself because we all have experienced some level of negative emotion in our lives, right? And it’s not as easy as turning a page in a book. Trust me I know. So believe me when I say this, it’s okay to express those feelings. Maybe one day, you’ll find solace in someone."

Asahi felt his spirits lifted when he thought about (Y/N)'s words. Solace... She didn't know it but that was what she became to him. Her words gave her comfort and alleviated all the strangling roots of anxiety that surrounded him. He smiled to himself at the memory. It was enough to fall for her all over again.

After mentally counting to three, both members of the Karasuno and Inarizaki team bowed down to each other and yelled, "Here's to a good game!"

Asahi's feet moved automatically to where the coaches were standing. His heart was still beating like crazy. His nerves were still going crazy because in a few seconds they were about to play a high caliber team that were the people's favorite to win this whole thing.

That's when Takeda-sensei came to the rescue and provided the much needed words of wisdom. Asahi listened as his head coach spoke, "You know... Two months ago, during the qualifier finals, no one thought we could beat Shiratorizawa either." A bright smile accompanied as he continued, "What say we surprise everyone again!"

"YEAH!!" They shouted in unison with Hinata and Nishinoya jumping with joy.

It was time for the announcer's to present to the crowd the starting lineup. Asahi took a deep breath as he waited for his name to be announced. Not wanting to look any more nervous that he actually is (and to hide away his fidgety hands), Asahi crossed his arms and tried to look brave.

Physically, he looked intimidating. Mentally... Well, it went something like this:

'Daichi's right. Nobody's paying any attention to us. I don't have to be nervous. Nope. Nuh-uh. I'm not nervous at all. Nobody's looking at me. That means I effectively don't even exist!'

With a furrowed brow, Asahi quickly shook his head at the thought.

'Wait, no. Now that I think about it, that was going too far. Heck, it was pretty sad!'

And of course his friends noticed how quiet he became.

"Asahi. Get over here." Daichi called, his voice full of authority and masking the slight anxiety he had. He didn't need his ace player to go down the rabbit hole before the match even started.

Suga couldn't help but laugh as he said, "I don't have to be a mind reader to know there's something laughable on your mind right now."

Daichi narrowed his eyes at Asahi. "Whatever you're thinking, stop it! That's an order!"

It was scary how frightening Daichi can get.

"I-I wasn't thinking a-anything bad." He defended through stutters. "At least... Not anymore."

Before Daichi could reprimand his ace, Suga cuts in with a slap on his shoulder and said, "Hey, don't make it obvious but (Y/N)-san has her eyes on you."

All the thoughts from a moment ago disappeared instantly at the idea of his crush paying attention to him. It gave him a new sense of motivation to play the best that he could. Volleyball was something he was good at, like really good, and (Y/N) took notice of his skills from yesterday's match. If he could impress her even more then maybe... He has a chance.

"Let's win this match and then win some more!" Asahi declared as he made his way to his assigned position. His aura was slowly but surely glowing with confidence.

Daichi and Suga sighed in relief as their ace finally looked mentally ready to play.

"Tell me the truth, Suga, was (Y/N)-san actually looking at Asahi when he wasn't looking?" Daichi asked his vice-captain.

Suga grinned. "Come on, Daichi. Just like I don't have to be a mind reader with Asahi, I don't need to be a psychic with (Y/N)-san. Those two are perfect for each other. Just you wait, a confession is going to happen in the future. Mark my words."

Daichi could only sigh at his friend's words but he didn't say anything against Suga's prediction. Even he could see the effects the pretty Inarizaki manager has on his gentle giant of an ace. He wouldn't be surprised if they kept in touch after all of this is over.

Little did anyone know, this wasn't going to be the last day for Inarizaki's manager to be a part of their lives, especially in Asahi's.

The bond of DIR EN GREY - WOWOW Interview Special (2023)

"There are many things that only the five of us have been through together, and that is the connection between us." — Die

Notes before reading:

This is the last five minutes of the interview. ★BGM:カムイ

The five members were interviewed separately.

Repost and share are welcome.🙌 I translated it all by my ears, so please feel free to correct me if you spot any mistake or any confusing parts.☺️

--- --- ---

►The bond of DIR EN GREY (DIR EN GREYの絆)

【Kaoru】 Of course sometimes we talk about stupid things, that's nothing special. We must always maintain equal relationships so that all can communicate with each other. But everyone has that personality, so it'll be a little bit… it's gonna be hard (laugh). Well, we all had different periods. Even so, we're still five people, spending time together in each other's lives. I still think we have to be aware of each other and move forward. Well, all I can say is that it's a pleasure to be in a band with them. *(一緒にやってくれてよかったなと思って)

【Shinya】 A balance of not being too deep and not being too shallow relationships with the members would be great, wouldn't it? Maybe during the periods when we were together for a long time, it was a little bit awkward, like a decade or so ago. Now it's just right.

【Toshiya】 I think it is necessary to consciously maintain a certain distance.  Considering this, it should be the most natural feeling now. Although we have been together all along, we have not had unnecessary conversations.  Of course, human beings communicate with each other through conversations, but at the same time, they get unnecessary information. Personally, if my work and private life are mixed together, I gradually feel like I'm misunderstanding something, and I don't like that. As for the connection between us, when (everyone said)  "Okay, let's go!"  (before the live show), there’s a very strong cohesion.  I feel that way.

【Die】 I am often asked, "Do the members have a good relationship?" "After all this time, you've become like family members, right?" It’s *troublesome to answer. *(めんどくさい / mendokusai) The time we spend together may be longer than that of family members, so do we have a good relationship? Or a bad relationship? It has nothing to do with that. We're beyond that. There are many things that only the five of us have been through together, and that is the connection between us. We've been through all kinds of things in the band, happy things, going overseas for the first time, getting frustrated.  We've been through a lot together. We all hit the wall together, rushed forward together, and then hit the wall again. Precisely because the five of us have experienced many things together, this kind of relationship can only be understood by the five of us.  It has nothing to do with whether we have a good relationship with each other, nor are we family or friends. In DIR EN GREY, there are some things about our relationship that only the five of us can understand.

【Kyo】 I guess I like these guys. *(人間が好きなんじゃないですかね) There's something to honor in everyone, and I often think that they're amazing. Maybe even if we didn't form a band, but just meeting and getting to know each other on ordinary occasions, we'd still be friends.  At least I'd do that. It's just that we're connected through music now, even though we don't talk a lot... Yeah. I guess it's because they all deserve respect.

【Narration】 (cv: Morikawa Toshiyuki) Although always a *solitary existence, DIR EN GREY has been going on for a quarter of a century.  The trajectory of the past 25 years has never stopped and continues to move on to a new path. The five people connected by the bond of music will bring us deeper pain and hope of being alive. *(孤高 / ここう / kokō)

fallen over, choi beomgyu.

🥥 ﹒ ! (＞人＜;)ᶻz ﹒★ beomgyu x fem!reader.

ꜝ ওফ্ফো  ! WC1072. ₍synopsis: during a sunny evening, whilst running away from your daily existential crisis you understand the importance of exercise. and,

sort of acquaint yourself with a charming fellow with kind of slippery fingers, and the prettiest face you've ever seen.

✫ this is dedicated to my best friend @itz-yerin i hope you like it baby!!!

"Don't mind me guys," you choked out despite trying your best to conceal the fact that your lungs were desperate for a steady source of air going in and out consistently, and letting you know that the lifestyle you had chosen for yourself all this while might be the case of being eaten alive if a zombie apocalypse did end up occurring in the near future.

"Go ahead," you were too focused on making sure your nostrils weren't flaring more than usual than speaking in coherent sentences, "Go!"

Your best friend, albeit initially confused but upon noticing and analysing the hunched over cycle posture and the sweat dripping off your body like a waterfall, had taken her befuddled, and slightly concerned boyfriend for a lap, or four while found a nearby bench to sit down to recollect your breath and think over how to expand your lifespan by a few more years.

Battling the urge to completely abandon the cycle onto the street, you lugged it with you as you crawled to the section with the grass, and collapsed beside the fallen torture device. The exhaustion gradually evaporates off your body like dewdrops under the scorching gaze of sunshine in the mornings of june, as a stealthy serenity sneaks in amidst the chaos of your surroundings, transforming all the clamour into a state of halcyon white noise.

You closed your eyes, allowing the gentle breeze to graze your heated cheeks, adorning you with the fragrances of all the florals it has been carrying. The sunshine played hide and seek with the clouds, drawing an array of inane shapes on your face like a toddler, tickling you with its sparkling mischief.

It felt good; it felt fine, despite the concerns that had kept you awake all night. It felt like you were alive in the moment and that's all that mattered. The blades of grass prickling your back, the June sun showering you with its rays and clouds coming to your aid. The warm gust of wind consoling you as well as the slight droplets of ice cold rain—ice cold rain?

You opened your eyes to uncover the mystery behind the whiplash of the capricious weather but to further push into a frenzy of perplexity, the clear blue yonder mocked you as it boasted an expanse devoid of any dark clouds—but the fog cleared up, and the reason behind the sudden downpour was someone's passionate participation in a topic you couldn't quite over hear. The sugary droplet falling off your cheek, and onto the green blades, only to be replaced with a few more similar ones when the conversation took another swift swerve increasing the ferocity of the words coming out of your assailant's mouth—so fast you were even a lip reader would have to suffer.

A few droplets were already a hassle as they dried off on your cheeks leaving a very sticky residue, but you had to seriously draw the line when the entirety of the popsicle slipped from his fingers and hit you right on your face. Before you could even process the piece of ice that was stuck on your face, you heard the man gasp, followed by another gasp from the person he was arguing with, both of them rushing over to make sure you don't sue—except the other one ran to another direction for some reason.

You should be sitting up by now and giving them an earful and but for some reasons, you couldn't—one of the major one being the fact the twenty minutes you actually enjoyed cycling, and the other half an hour you forced yourself to continue transforming itself into a bothersome back pain, and secondly it was quite amusing your main assailant's slightly long shag hair moving up and down from this angle. Removing the popsicle from your cheek, you tried to sit yourself up.

"Are you okay?!" You attacker crouched down to meet you at your current height. His concerned laced eyes analysed your face before fumbling with his jeans pocket to get his handkerchief out, offering it to you, "I am so sorry for this."

You touched your cheek before accepting the handkerchief to dab it onto your cheek softly putting on a show for him—except water and a good few seconds of rubbing the syrupy consistency wasn't leaving your face. You knew that, he knew that, but the world depends on such unspoken courtesies.

"It's alright." You assured him meekly, focusing more of your energy to get yourself off the ground so you don't seem like a brat—despite it taking a little more that what it takes other people, as in like seconds, you were at least able to get your ass off the ground for a few inches when you noticed the concerned expression glazing over his pretty face, "I was cycling for a few hours so my legs just gave out," you lied.

He nodded and extended his hands for you to take, "I am Beomgyu," He introduced himself, and you gave him your name in return.

"I am sorry for what happened! I promise I will buy you a good cleanser of your-" Before the beautiful man, whose name you had just learned to be Beomgyu, could finish his benevolent promise to take care of any arising skin issues you may face, his friend whom you had deemed to have abandoned his friend in need, came running as though he had something important to announce—conveniently missing the laid out bike on the ground and as a result crashing into Beomgyu's back who in a sick game of domino had fallen over you before he could even process what had hit him.

You cursed under your breath when you clearly heard a few of your spine break, with the added weight of two men laid out on top of you earning the questionable looks from every passerby. You couldn't even complain if you wanted to after all it was your own fault leaving it laid out instead of just properly putting it away on standing.

"I went to go get wet tissue for the blunder you created," The top part of the stack, the runaway friend, groaned while wiggling his way out of the giant dog pile.

"And you couldn't announce it, Taehyun?!" The one directly on top of your stomach croaked before turning to look at you, "I'll pick up a tab of your chiropractor I promise."

could you maybe do pest x fem headcanons? :3 or even a small fanfic? whichever works!!

Pest x F!reader oneshot:

I did a oneshot cuz I'm still thinking of headcanons for pest, I hope that's okay !!

(also I hope the Google translate did the translation right LMAO)

Also so sorry if my writing isn't as good as of late ! I'm going through a tough time with my brain capacity lol, just trying to get my brain up and running again.

You were waiting at the entrance to the subway, Pest said he wanted to meet you here after you were done with homework. You've been waiting here for about 10 minutes now, not that long but long enough to get a little worried. You sighed and thought to yourself,

Maybe it was a trick? Why would he need to meet me here anyway?

Your phone was dead so you couldn't text or call him.

You sat there, starting to doze off.

"Hey."

Your head shot up and looked in the voice's direction. Pest looked at you with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh! Pest! You surprised me!" You gave out a small nervous laugh, and looked down.

"Sorry I was late," he said annoyed putting his hand up to his neck. "あの愚かな新人が私を悩ませていました...(that dumb noob was bothering me…)"

"What?"

"Nothing important.. don't worry about it."

You smiled and sighed, "well I was starting to wonder if you weren't going to be here at all, you know how anxious I can get sometimes."

Pest nodded slowly, then proceeded to get something out of his back pocket.

"So I'm not very good with expressing emotions in words, but I wrote it down. This is what I wanted to tell you." He handed you the note, hesitantly, then looked down. He was scared of how you would reply.

The note reads:

Dear Y/N,

To say it simply,

I love you.

I don't know how else to put it.

You don't have to like me back but I thought I should tell you soon.

- Pest

You look up from the note, face almost completely red. He..He loves you?

He was looking down, embarrassed to admit it.

You managed to stutter out the words:

"You managed to keep this secret pretty well," Then you ended it with "I- I think I love you too."

Pest looked up at you in a surprised and shocked manner.

"What..? You do?" His eyes, for once in his life, seemed to express happiness.

You two stared at each other for a moment, then you smiled and responded,

"Yeah.. yeah I do!"

[no-gram]

VOICE DRAMA　非人間と宇宙人

Ai: Hi, Jun.

Jun: Hi. Admin.

Ai: ...... huh.

Jun: You seem to be at a loss for words, didn't you come here with a script?

Ai: I wonder if Tsuguha told you about that...

Jun: Well, yeah.

Ai: It's true that I've been thinking about what to ask, just in case. I was, however, amused. You were hostile at first, but you're surprisingly cooperative, aren't you?

Jun: Are you kidding me? If it looks that way, you're wrong. If anything, I'm just not going to put up a pointless resistance. You're not our enemy either, even though you ended up in that role.

Ai: Right.

Jun: I gave you an answer, but you're not going to like it if you act like that.

Ai: Thanks for the advice. I'm sorry, but I don't really know what that feels like.

Jun: Oh, I see.

Ai: Well, introduce yourself.

Jun: Jun, that's all.

Ai: Didn't you say you don't interfere with business?

Jun: That's your broad interpretation, one, I didn't say I wouldn't interfere, and two, I introduced myself. That's all.

Ai: Don't you introduce yourself too?

Jun: Hmmm, I see. Did Tsugu say the same thing? Well, that's what I meant.

Ai: This job isn't easy either...I'm going to change the way I ask. What did you do before you came here?

Jun: Nothing special. Just the usual. Go to school, go home. Eat and sleep.

Ai: ...How is life here?

Jun: Nothing too good, nothing too bad.

Ai: Really? You seem to get along well with Tsuduri.

Jun: Hmm, I won't deny it. There are a lot of weirdos out there, so it's only logical to approach the one who seems the most normal.

Ai: Wow, you think that way. So, if there is someone more decent than Tsuduri, would you hang out with him?

Jun: Hmmm, sorry, I can't say that I would. I guess it would be more correct to say that I am where I am supposed to be.

Ai: I don't really know...

Jun: You don't have to understand, I didn't ask you to.

Ai: No, I didn't mean it the way I said it. 

Jun: What?

Ai: I understand your point of view. I mean, you are where you are because you are comfortable with your role, right?

Jun: Well, that's what it comes down to.

Ai: As I told you earlier, I don't understand you because you are so cooperative instead of complaining about this jail. If you want to sabotage me, you don't have to answer my questions, do you?

Jun: You've made your decision. I'm just comfortable in my role. Sabotage is pointless.

Ai: Why do you feel that interference is pointless?

Jun: I kind of know what I'm going to do. To put it plainly, I could hit Anta here and sabotage her, but that would be played by the system, right? It's the same thing.

Ai: Didn't you say you were falsely accused at first? Why are you giving up so much?

Jun: I think it's a false accusation. But that's for you to decide, isn't it? It doesn't matter if you try. Life is complicated because you try to cover it up. If you are honest, your life will be easier.

Ai: ...What if I judge you to be evil?

Jun: What will you do...? I don't know. You won't know until the time comes. I don't want you to judge my life in the first place.

Ai: I hope I didn't give you a hard time.

Jun: Don't feel sorry for me, it's creepy.

Ai: I'm not trying to antagonize you guys. Besides, I think I've learned a lot about compassion for others after talking with Tsuguha.

Jun: ...I'm sorry Tsuguha, but I'll teach you for your own good.

Ai: Jun?

Jun: It is indeed difficult to survive without compassion. As a human being. But you shouldn't live by caring sincerely. Instead of caring sincerely, you should care in order to use, otherwise it is you who will be used.

Ai: Well...

Jun: You don't understand, do you? It's knowledge that you will eventually need. If it's unnecessary for you, that's okay.

Ai: Oh, thank you? I wonder if it's okay to...

Jun: Giving up, you know, is my salvation. Expectations are feelings of betrayal and loss. Life can be mundane. Just because it's Sunday doesn't mean it's good, and tomorrow I have to go to school.

Ai: For you, is it painful to go to school tomorrow?

Jun: At least it's not fun. There are a lot of humans there, right?

Ai: You are human too, right?

Jun: ...I don't know. Maybe I'm just a looker, maybe I'm not a person.

Ai: Are you the type to be surprisingly spiritual?

Jun: No? See, some people are very human, and some are outcasts.

Ai: I know what you mean. What is the difference between the two for you?

Jun: Difference? Difference, yeah. If a person was down and you were the only one there, what would you do first?

Ai: What? In practical terms, I would call an ambulance to help him.

Jun: If you were a human being, of course you would do that, right?

Ai: Of course.

Jun: That's naive. There are people in the world who think about the benefits of helping first. There are people who would help a fallen person if they can get a reward for it.

Ai: Worst case scenario...but there are definitely people like that.

Jun: I think such a person is not a human being.

Ai: So, what you mean by ''not human'' is...

Jun: You can figure out the rest on your own.

Ai: Yes. Non-human.

Jun: Hmm, I like that way of calling you that. But I would call myself an alien. And you are the non-human.

Ai: I guess you're right, now I'm...

Jun: But you should remain pure and innocent and believe in your own values. Don't be influenced by anyone.

Ai: Can I ask you something else that I don't understand?

Jun: Sure.

Ai: Why do you care so much?

Jun: I don't care. It's a role.

Ai: That's a kind role.

Jun: No matter what you say to an alien, you won't reach him because he doesn't have a heart.

[bell tolling]

Ai: Come on, alien, the interrogation is over. Do you have anything left to say?

Jun: Nothing left to say. I'll leave it up to you to decide, but you've got to be a good judge of character.

Ai: You say disturbing things.

Jun: I have an alien intuition. No, it's a lie. Maybe it's telepathy between aliens.

Ai: It's a roundabout warning.

Jun: That's what it's supposed to do. Don't let someone like me kill you.

Ai: Yeah. I never really knew much about yourself.

Jun: Only now. I'm just one way or the other.

Ai: Well, then, let me retrace the steps that led to your resignation.

[the-monkey-ruler]

hi, I don't know if you've heard about “Journey to the West: The Real and Fake Monkey King”, starring the actor of the monkey king from 1986? This year only the poster came out and from what I saw the project is somewhat controversial.

Oh yeah I've been hearing about this one! I think this might be part of the Monkey King 2014 verse but I'm not sure as the summary of the movie seemed to have changed.

I’ve only found websites that talk about the synopsis, do you mind telling me where you saw this? Unless you are talking about Liu Xiao Ling Tong himself as he is kinda seen as a.... purist I think is the right word to use. He has become kinda a meme in recent years as he is very judgemental of Sun Wukong adaptions that do not fit his mold of what he thinks the Monkey King represents, "Parodies should not be nonsense, adaptations should not be groundless recreations" and even advocated for laws banning parodies of classics.

"The sensation of Liuxue started when a cohort of trolls poked fun at Zhang’s years-long attempt to increase his relevance after starring as Sun Wukong 孙悟空, a.k.a. the Monkey King, in a 1986 television adaption of Journey to the West (西游记 Xīyóujì). The role is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Zhang’s acting career. Seeing generally tepid reception to his subsequent works, Zhang morphed into an objectively annoying celebrity who perennially dwells on his best-received performance, constantly boasting about his legacy and attaching his entire worth on the original novel and its variations, a cultural heritage to which Zhang only made a relatively small contribution.But unlike other sellout artists, Zhang went so far that people are now questioning his sanity. It’s documented that, at certain speaking engagements, he branded himself as the only person alive who can offer definitive interpretations of the original Journey to the West. At the funeral of Yang Jie 杨洁, director of the 1986 TV adaption, Zhang filmed a video promoting an upcoming movie where he plays the character again."

In any case, he does seem to be extreme in his views but I can't say if he is considered to be controversial moreso eccentric. While I don't agree with him and I do like the advocacy of laws banning parodies is borderline ludicrous, I can't say that he actually has any power or persuasion to make these realities. I can see why he is treated more as a joke/meme as what he is saying is impossible as there have been more adaptions than ever before. I hope that if he does get this movie made then at least his actors are paid well and that the movie production itself goes smoothly.

If this wasn't what you were talking about please let me know what you hear! Would love to know what’s going on!

2024年4月30日

April is the month of new beginnings in Japan. The school year ends in March, the fiscal year ends in March, and then there is the transition to the new beginnings in April. The cherry blossoms are the biggest symbol of this transition from one school year to the next, and the beginning of work for many of those just entering the workforce.

It makes sense that April can be a new beginning for Japanese studies as well. So, for April, I wanted to rededicate myself to my studies. Honestly, I rededicate myself at least every month, and every year, because my priorities and abilities are constantly changing. I do, however, like to have certain periods of time to mark out major changes.

So what does this look like for me? I have been spending a lot of time with Japanese mom friends from my son's Japanese preschool, my son has been growing ever proficient in Japanese (thanks to his time at school, his immersion at home, and his rapidly-developing brain), which has begun to show me in detail where I am doing well and where I am deficient. I'd like to keep pace with my son's proficiency and to challenge myself (because I really love studying Japanese).

So, in general terms, I am rededicating myself to my goals from the beginning of 2024 and to studying for the JLPT N2 exam.

3月と言えば終わり、4月と言えば始まりですね。入学式もあって、入社もあって、年度初めでもあって、日本で色々が始まります。

そして、4月から日本語の勉強についてリフレッシュもしようと思います。4月にまた気合を入れて日本語の勉強に集中したいと思います。実は自分が毎年や毎リフレッシュしますが、それは日本語の目的も能力もいつも変化しているからです。しかし、4月にもう一回リフレッシュするのを決めました。

リフレッシュと言えば、何ですか？最近息子の幼稚園で会ったママ友とよく話したりしていて、息子の日本語の能力をレベルアップを認めていて、自分の足りない部分が見えるようになりました。息子の役に立つになりたくて、自分も日本語を勉強するのが好きで、これからもっとチャレンジしようと思っています。

それで、自分の年初の目的と日本語能力試験のN2の勉強に集中するつもりです。

April Progress

I think that April was the most balanced my study has ever been amongst all the areas of study that I focus on. My goals in April included continuing my focus on Reading, Writing, Grammar, and Listening.

Here is how my goals went:

〇 = Great, △ = Decent, ✖ = Not Great

Read daily - read almost every day 〇

Write sentences 4 times a week - wrote sentences mostly 4 times a week 〇

Review kanji and vocabulary flash cards daily - didn't practice flash cards at all due to focus on other types of study ✖

Review 1-2 N3 grammar points weekly - did reviews 〇

Learn 1-2 N2 grammar points weekly - focused on practicing these using example sentences I wrote myself 〇

Listen to 1 podcast a week - yes! 〇

Continue to work on あ～お hiragana with my son, add in か～こ - yes! 〇

I am proud of sticking to the things that I wanted to do, and also incorporating more study for the N2 into my routine. Other things I did included:

Kanji & Vocabulary: Learning new vocabulary and kanji from reading Japanese books and manga, although I don't include it explicitly in my count for the study areas.

Listening: Watched the NHK Taiga drama 光る君へ (Hikaru kimi e) and understood some of the court-related words (thanks to the 日本の歴史366 daily reads) and complex dialogue.

Speaking: Continued to talk to my mom friends (ママ友) from preschool, getting advice and also embarrassing myself sometimes when I misunderstand something ^^;

May Goals

For May, I'd like to keep my momentum and excitement for studying going, and to try to focus on JLPT N2 textbooks more. I'll also try to continue reviewing N3 information. I'll keep my goals the same as in March, and just add in additional study materials where I feel necessary.

Additional Study Materials:

Renshuu.org flashcards for Kanji & Vocabulary

新にほんご500問 (Kanji, Vocabulary, Grammar drills)

日本語総まとめN2 (Kanji, Vocabulary, Grammar, Listening, Reading workbook)

外国人のための日本語敬語の使い方 (85 Basic Expressions of Japanese honorifics for Quick and Easy use, aka Keigo)

絵本 (Japanese children's books (see my photo above), to practice reading aloud large chunks of hiragana quickly)

If you've read this far, thank you! These updates are mostly motivation for me, but I hope at least the pictures are pretty and maybe you find a new resource when you read these ^.^

See you next month!

ここまで読んでいただいてありがとうございました。毎月のアップデートはほぼ自分のためだけど、面白い写真を見れるかもしれないし、それとも使えるリソースを見つかれるかもしれまない ^.^

また来月！

Im sorry you feel unwell man Im wishing you speedy recovery and nourishing meal. Also your new mobile theme goes hard

Thank you Shepard (人´∀`)♪ I've been battling a nosebleed and overestimated myself heheheh. I'm sure I'll bounce back over the weekend, and I found the hurricane GIF and sort of fell in love. It suits a simple theme very nicely + I hope you've been well.

[yuriko-mukami]

[You got a message from Aiko! Damn, it's been a long time since you've talked with her... oh wait, HOLY SHIT SHE HAS BEEN TEXTING YOU LAST NIGHT BUT YOU DIDN'T RESPOND CAUSE YOU WERE SLEEPING—]

《 "Hi, Yuriko-san :3 it's been a long time since we talked to each other, haven't we? Also, I heard the news. Are you and your baby okay? I can help you with your studies if you're having any difficulties :3" — 10:30pm

《 "..." — 10:37pm

《 "MUKAMI YURIKO, SHOW THYSELF!" — 10:50pm

《 "... Well, that certainly didn't work..." — 10:55pm

It was late morning hours when Yuriko finally crawled up from the bed. But only after the scheduled breakfast she actually glanced at her phone. There were several messages from Aiko.

Oh my... I hope nothing bad happened...

Tapping the app open, Yuriko read through the messages and started to write her response.

《 Hello Aiko-san... (⌒ω⌒)ﾉ First, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. 人(_ _*) I was sleeping when you wrote to me. You know... I have been rather sleepy lately. And then I had to have breakfast before doing much else. Ruki is really strict that I eat at the right time... 》

《 Anyway~ You... heard the news? Oh my... the word spreads so fast... 》

I wonder who else already knows...?

《 We're both okay. (´｡• ω •｡`) I'm just a bit nauseous and sleepy, nothing too bad. And the baby seemed healthy in the check-up, too. So, don't worry. But... I would be very happy if you wanted to help me with my studies. Thank you~ (⌒‿⌒) 》

《 But... how are things with you? As you said, it has been a long time... So I wish to know what you have been up to. (◕‿◕✿) 》

Important Announcement, Please Read And RB

Don't want to read all of that? Here's a short version:

I've converted to Islam which is why I won't be writng NSFW anymore

I am also going to be taking down all of my NSFW posts from here and my AO3

I kindly request that anyone who has ever reblogged my NSFW posts takes down that post.

I will still be writing SFW content on here, but I don't plan to come back anytime before the end of Ramadan.

Hi everyone,

It's been a while, lol.

So, the reason I've been pretty MIA on this account is because, well- I've found religion. I've converted to Islam, alongside my (adoptive) family.

So how does that matter? Well, since I've converted I've realised that writing NSFW stuff is basically haram, which is why I don't feel comfortable writing that anymore. And a lot of my requests/the content I had planned, etc. were NSFW which is why I'm unsure where I'm going to be going with this account.

I don't know if I'll still be writing on here regularly. I know that the fluff and angst bits aren't haram but I just feel like a couple months back I got super into the NSFW space which is why I think that's now all that my readers expect from me. Most of my requests are NSFW, and it just feels like I wouldn't get as much support if I continued writing on here, which would hurt.

As for my NSFW content that is posted, I will be deleting all the NSFW posts. Which leads me to my next point: I would REALLY appreciate it if anyone who has ever reblogged any of my NSFW content deleted their reblog.

I understand that once you've reblogged it that becomes a part of your blog and I can't control whether or not you take it down, however, I would REALLY appreciate if you respected my beliefs and please take down the reblogs.

I'll be taking down the posts by the end of today, and I'll also be deleting the NSFW bits of my AO3. I hope you all can understand this and choose to continue supporting my SFW fanfics.

I won't be coming back on here until after Ramadan, so I'll be back around May.

Bye for now,

Amaya-chan

全部は読みたくない？簡単に説明します：

私はイスラム教に改宗したので、もうNSFWを書くことはありません。 私はまた、ここと私のAO3から私のNSFWの投稿をすべて削除するつもりです。 私のNSFWな投稿をリブログしたことのある人は、その投稿を削除してくれるようお願いします。 私はまだここにSFWのコンテンツを書くつもりですが、ラマダンが終わる前にいつでも戻ってくるつもりはありません。 

みなさん、こんにちは、

お久しぶりです、笑。

このアカウントで最後に活動したのはかなり久しぶりです。これは、宗教に目覚めたためです。養子である家族と一緒にイスラム教に改宗したんだ。

で、改宗してから、NSFWなものを書くのは基本的にハラームだと気づいたんだ。だから、もうそれを書くのは気が引ける。そして、私のリクエストや計画していたコンテンツなどの多くがNSFWであったため、このアカウントでどこへ行こうとしているのかわからなくなってしまったのです。

まだここで定期的に書くかどうかもわからない。フワフワやアングストの部分がハラームではないことは知っていますが、数ヶ月前にNSFWスペースに超ハマったよう��気がして、それが今、読者が私に期待するすべてだと思うのです。私のリクエストのほとんどはNSFWで、ここで書き続けてもあまり支持されないような気がして、それはそれで痛いです。

投稿される私のNSFWコンテンツについては、すべて削除する予定です。私のNSFWコンテンツをリブログしてくれた人が、そのリブログを削除してくれたら、本当にありがたいんだ。

一度リブログしたら、それはあなたのブログの一部となり、あなたがそれを削除するかどうかを私はコントロールすることはできませんが、私の信念を尊重し、リブログを削除していただけると本当にありがたいです。

今日中にNSFWの投稿をすべて削除し、私のAO3のNSFWの部分も削除する予定です。みなさんがこのことを理解し、私のSFWファンフィクスを引き続き支持することを選んでくれることを願っています。

ラマダンが終わるまではここに戻ってこないので、5月頃には戻ってくると思います。

それでは、また、

あまやちゃん

[heartmush]

we used to follow eachother and i still hold you dearly to my heart :) <3 wish we were closer but i took a hiatus off the internet for 3 years and kinda poofed. I have art that you drew me from like.. oh god, 2015?? its been a while. We met a while before that even.I just thought I'd say hello, I hope you're doing well, and I'm so, so proud of you and your art and how far you've come! Have an amazing holidays. <3

WOAH (°ロ°) ! A blast from the past...!!! 2015 was... so so long ago LOL. I was what, in high school!? Shocking...

I'm glad you're back after your hiatus (and that your break went well)! (⌒▽⌒)♡

I'm doing okay for the moment, a lot of stuff happened (well, it's been at least 8 years after all so that's expected), but lately I've been able to find the energy to do more things, so that's good! I hope you're doing well too!!

Thank you for messaging me, it was nice to hear from someone way back when. (^ ^*) And thank you for your kind words as well! (^人^) I'm wishing you the best hehe <3

[noyasaur]

I know this question is kinda stupid but how will I know that I have shifted if I script that I don't want to remember that I'm shifting?

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

helloo! in my opinion, i don't think you would know. i feel like if you script that "when i shift, i will not remember that i have shifted", you won't remember that you have shifted at all. you'll be aware of your new reality and continue on living life there as usual and as you would have prior to being aware of that reality. you wouldn't notice anything different and you would recognise as that reality being the reality you first remember being aware of. that reality would be your 'first' life and 'first' reality.

i'm not sure in what kind of sense do you mean though. is this for permashifting or just regular shifting?

if it's for permashifting, you could always script that when you shift to your desired reality, you do not have any past memory of your previous reality (your cr). and if you still want to know of reality shifting, just script that you remember what reality shifting is and you can do it!

however, if it's for regular shifting, you could always script that when being aware of your desired reality, you having shifted won't be on your mind 24/7. in my opinion, when you've shifted and are now experiencing your desired reality, obviously you'll know you've shifted but when your living your life there, reality shifting and you being a shifter won't be on your mind 24/7 (you most likely won't forget about your cr but it most likely won't be on your mind all the time!!). it's like when we live life in this reality, obviously we are on a journey to shift, but most of the time our minds wouldn't be 100% focused and honed in on shifting. we would be thinking about other things and preoccupied with our lives at times.

before even becoming aware of that reality, your desired self has been living life normally and as they would before you've become aware of that reality. your dr-self is used to living in that reality. so in a sense, while everything can feel new to you, you may also feel normal to be in that reality because it's already normal for your self in that reality. you won't be thinking of reality shifting all the time, and you may have even forget you've shifted!

anyways, i'm sorry if i misunderstood your question and i hope i answered it well for you!

good luck on your journey and have a good day! ☆ ～('▽^人)

Kaida Haru Original Song: Nani Iro Lyrics Translation

It's been so long since I've posted anything unrelated to PGR and to commemorate this, I'll be posting my rendition of Kaida Haru's original song 『何色』 (≧▽≦)

It's a very beautiful song that I had to make my own rendition. Although I took creative liberties here and there looking at a 1:1 translation perspective, I feel that those liberties I took are something I see and spoke to me in terms of what the song is all about. I hope that this song would give strength to anyone who listens, much like how the lyricist hopes. The translation rendition can be found on the cut down below

Song Title: 何色 (What Color) Sung by: Kaida Haru Lyrics: Horie Shota Composition + Arrangement: Horie Shota

存在しない 美しさを 表す言葉はない 想う限りを 歌い合うんだよ

Sonzai shinai utsukushisa wo Arawasu kotoba ha nai Omou kagiri wo utaiaunda yo

An ethereal beauty that simply can't be described by words I will sing this song with you, so long as I dream of it

歩き出した 息を止めて まやかしを 吸い込まないように 隠し持った 絶望に蓋をして 人はパレット 透明の最初を 汚しちゃって 悔しかった 混ざり合った いびつな色を

Arukidashita Iki wo tomete Mayakashi wo suikomanai you ni Kakushi motta zetsubou ni futa wo shite Hito ha PARETTO Toumei no saisho wo Yogoshichatte kuyashikatta Mazariatta Ibitsu na iro wo

Took a step forward, anxiously held my breath so I won't be charmed by the tricks of the light Putting behind all the anguish I hide inside me People are opaque Their hearts fair and clear now has been stained with frustrations and great joy as it blends to one, forming an obscure color

綺麗だねと言った 分からなかった 分かりたいと思った 君の隣で

Kirei da ne to itta Wakaranakatta Wakaritai to omotta Kimi no tonari de

I muttered, “Oh, how pretty” I didn't know better This now made me wonder I wanna stay by your side

目を閉じて浮かぶ 星は何色 ���きたいときに流れない涙は 何色 きっと 答えなどないから 僕達で決めるんだ 口ずさむように

Me wo tojite ukabu hoshi ha nani iro Nakitai toki ni nagarenai namida ha nani iro Kitto kotae nado nai kara Bokutachi de kimerunda Kuchizusamu you ni

What color were your eyes that dreamed about the stars above? What hue were your tears that choked as you tried to be strong? Surely there are no right answers so we both now have settled on humming out that color's tone

震える肩を撫でる 風は何色 目を開けて 見える空は 何色 やっと 少し分かってきた この世界は 分かんないや それで いいんだよ 君を 聞かせて

Furueru kata de naderu kaze ha nani iro Me wo akete mieru sora ha nani iro Yatto sukoshi wakattekita Kono sekai ha wakannai ya Sore de iinda yo Kimi wo kikasete

What color did the wind give off while you shouldered all your worries? What kind of glow did the sky have when you opened your eyes? I think I now somewhat discerned what the whole world doesn't understand And that's perfectly all right Tune in to this tiny song

ありとあらゆる 絵具よりも その瞳は 鮮やかだった 触れられない 暗闇でさえも

Aritara yuru enogu yori mo Sono hitomi ha azayaka datta Furerarenai kurayami de sae mo

The light in your eyes were so brighter than most color palettes that it's hard not to be engrossed Even the shade of darkness you've kept a lid on

似ている呼び名じゃ 相応しくない 心の正体は 伝えきれない

Niteiru yobina jya fusawashikunai Kokoro no shoutai ha tsukaekirenai

It just can't be simplified rashly, or so to tell Do I truly feel this way? It's hard to express it well

想像の旅 ひらく絵本は何色 失望の果て 灯った光は何色 ばらばらな真実と 重ね合う てのひら 違う世界でも 同じ歌を うたう

Souzou no tabi hiraku ehon ha nani iro Shitsubbou no hate tomotta hikari ha nani iro Barabara na shinjitsu to Kasaneau te no hira Chigau sekai demo Onaji uta wo utau

What kind of shade did you imagine reading this children's book? What color were the light's glow at the end of a dark tunnel? We all still hold each other's hands in spite of diverse truths out there It's proof that we're all the same regardless of what we claim

何も 言えなくていい そこに居るって 分かるよ 何かを はじめるときは 傍で見ていてほしいよ 慣れないままの 恐怖 その内側は 希望 息を吸い込んで ただ 君を想う

Nanimo ienakute ii Soko ni iru tte wakaru yo Nanika wo hajimeru toki ha Soba de miteite hoshii yo Narenai mama no kyoufuu Sono uchigawa ha kibou Iki wo suikonde Tada kimi wo omou

It's okay if you don't say a thing 'cause I know that you'll be there for me Whenever I would start something new, please watch how would I grow in your view As I face all of these strange fears, your heartfelt cheers are warm and clear I'll take in everything and simply think of you

この瞳に浮かんだ 星は何色 その頬を伝う 涙は何色 きっと 答えなどないから 僕達で決めるんだ 口ずさむように

Kono hitomi ni ukanda hoshi ha nani iro Sono hoho wo tsutau namida ha nani iro Kitto kotae nado nai kara Bokutachi de kimerunda Kuchizusamu you ni

What color were those shining stars we saw that has caught your eyes? What hue were these tears that rolled down on our cheeks just now? Surely there are no right answers, so we both now have settled on humming out that color's tone

lalala 君は何色 lalala 僕は何色 存在しない 美しさを 表す言葉はない 想う限りを 歌い合うんだよ 想う以上に 巡り会うんだよ

Lalala kimi ha nani iro Lalala boku ha nani iro Sonzai shinai utsukushisa wo Arawasu kotoba ha nai Omou kagiri wo utaiaunda yo Omou ijou ni meguriaunda yo

lalala what color are you right now? lalala what color am I right now? It's the ethereal beauty that simply can't be described by words I will sing this song with you, so long as I dream of it I'm glad that our paths have crossed, more than I could imagine
