Up to three new posts today, aha ^^; Another long one too

As everyone knows by now, one of the new tracks on infinite synthesis is a lovely song named 悲しい星座, kanashii seiza, or sorrowful constellations. I just found out that this is a cover of IKU’s 悲しい星座 from her first album ユアウエア (You Aware..maybe?), and the original music was written by Satoshi Yaginuma as well. I’m not sure if this counts as a cover. If it does, it’s the band’s third (fourth if you count Crying Moon, but I don’t). The lyrics below are IKU’s version. The one chorus is the same but no idea if all the lyrics will be in Nanjo’s version. I discovered that IKU has a beautiful voice and I think I’m going to check out more of her music.

Also, before I get to the lyrics, sat commented on his blog that the exclusion of memory of snow and fortissimo is intentional and that they will not be on an album. Reasons include being b-sides, having more room for new songs, and being considered the advantages of buying the singles. late in autumn is an exception.

悲しい星座

(the painful constellation)
lyrics: IKU
music & arrangement: Satoshi Yaginuma

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if there were one thing I could label as fate in this world
“our encounter”
I could call that fate for sure, you know

when we met, you told me
“when I looked your way, you were the most stunning thing in my sight”

so many days were spent imagining countless dreams, holding hands, supporting one another
I never thought we’d grow apart

I noticed the joy in living this kind of life as time went on
in my body and in my heart, all from dating you

I went on and never questioned whether something out there would break us apart
the two of us cuddled close, just like the bright stars in the constellations far, far away

then our sudden break-up tore us apart
I realized that there would never be another time
when our hands would touch

I lost your heart and once again was all alone
I write you letters over and over again with no intention of sending them

so many miserable nights were spent enduring tears and waiting
“I miss you…” these whispered words are floating in the night sky

I faced those lonely days alone; the solitude felt endless
I go on today believing that one day, one day, we can meet again

I thought about the life we had together
but I made up my mind and held my pen – this is the last letter

now I’ll begin a new journey, holding what’s dear to me in my hands:
the pain and joy we shared back then

if I live this life again, I’ll find and show you the fate I believe in
no matter how small the proof may be

should I find myself lost in either life, I hope we’ll encounter each other once more
and become twinkling stars of the glittery constellations in this spacious sky
