I had finished watching Darker than Black (both seasons and OVA) over the weekend and became quite intrigued by the 2nd season’s opening theme, Tsukiakari no Michishirube.
The music is quite catchy and simply grows on you as time progresses. The vocals are strong and emotionally, blending well with the composition. The lyrics are amazing and extremely positive – moonlight which guides one’s path (away from darkness, evil, etc).
So without much ado, here is Tsukiakari no Michishirube by Stereopony:
Romanji and English Lyrics from Deciphered Melody:
kotae no nai mainichi ga
tada sugite yuku jikan ga
kore kara saki dounaru no darou?
wakaranai…These [answerless] days and
this time that just passes by,
where will they lead me?
I don’t know…
yami yori mo fukai yoru no kodoku ni
moyowasareteta
dareka ni ima kidzuite hoshii…
koko kara nigedashitai karaRather than the darkness, I was led astray
by the loneliness of the night.
Someone, please realize it…
I want to run away from this!mado kara mieru asayake
heya ni narihibiku oto
ARA-MU ni okosarete
usugurai naka ietobidasu yo
KABAN no naka ni ha
nani mo kawaranai heibon tsumekonde
soshite itsumo no basho heFrom the window, I can see the morning,
a sound rings in my room,
awoken by the alarm clock,
In my depression, I dash out from my home.
In my bag, there’s nothing
but the usual stuffed in there…
With that, I go to the usual place.dareka ga itta kotoba ga
ki ni natte mayowasarete
arasoitaku nante nai kara
nani mo ienai
yume ya risou ha aru keredo
kimochi bakari saki ni itte
genjitsu ga zutto ushiro kara
BOKU wo miteruThe words someone said
bother me a bit…they confuse me.
I don’t want to have any disputes,
so I don’t say anything at all.
I have my own dreams and ideals but,
by feelings rush in before I do.
Reality as always been staring at me
from behind.nee dareka oshiete
minna sou nano kana?
kyou ga shiawase nara
sorede ii to omoerutte
osanai koro ni ha
tashika ni atta yo
yume wo oikaketeta
demo sore mo tooi kiokuHey, someone tell me,
is everyone else like this?
If today I can be happy,
that’s is enough for me.
Back in my childhood,
I’m sure I had
a dream I chased after…
but that too is just a distant memory…kotae no nai mainichi ga
tada sugite yuku jikan ga
kore kara saki dou naru no darou?
wakaranai…
TSUKIAKARI no MICHISHIRUBE
kumo wo koe BOKU ni todoke
susumu beki michi wo terashite yo
kyou ga donna ni kowaresou demoThese [answerless] days and
this time that just passes by,
where will they lead me?
I don’t know…
The Signs of the Moonlight
crosses over the clouds and reach me
and light the road I must take.
Today seem it’ll somehow break but…nani ga attemo
nani ga attemo
shinjitetai kara
ano hi no tooi kioku yobisamasu kara
wasurenaide ne mune ni kizamitsukeno matter what happens,
no matter what happens,
I want to believe
because my memories of those days have awoken me.
I won’t forget them, I carve them in my heart.kotae ha jibun no naka ni
kanarazu aru mono dakara
akiramenaide
tsuyoku ikiru koto wo yamenaide
kanashi sugite
mae ni susumenai toki demo
mukashi ni nayamiayunda bokura ni
kaze ha fuku
dokomade demoThe answer lies within us,
I’m sure it’s there that’s why
we will not give up.
We won’t stop living strongly
even in harsh times
where we can’t move forward.
To us who have worries,
the wind blows
through thick and thin.
