This is the full song to the spring-summer 2007 anime of RxJ. I was working on another project but the single came out via torrent and I fell in love with the song so much that I had to do it.
This time, unlike my Heroic Age OP, I splitted the OP up at the end.
Romaji and English lyrics translated by DarkMirage:
urunda hitomi no oku ni
kawaranu kimi no sugata
"doko made sekai wa tsudzuku no"
todaeta hibi no kotoba
In the depths of my tear-filled eyes,
Is your everlasting beauty.
"How far does the world go?"
Those words from our bygone days.
kogoeru arashi no yoru mo
mada minu kimi e tsudzuku
oshiete umi wataru kaze
inori wa toki wo koeru
Even on those freezing, stormy nights,
Though you are still out of sight, I continue on.
Please tell me, ocean-crossing winds,
That my prayers will pass through time.
kasunda chihei no mukou ni
nemureru hoshi no souwa
"akenai yoru wa nai yo" to
ano hi no tsumi ga warau
Beyond the misty horizons,
Stars are fabled to lie.
"Dawn will surely follow every night."
The sins of my past laughs.
furueru kimi wo dakiyose
todokanu kokuu wo aogu
kikoeru yami terasu kane
kimi eto michi wa tooku
I try to embrace you trembling with uncertainty,
But I look up at the empty sky beyond reach.
I hear the chime that illuminates darkness,
Showing me that the path to you is still far.
kogoeru kaze no yoru mo
mada minu kimi e tsudzuku
oshiete umi wataru kaze
inori wa toki wo koeru
Even on those freezing, stormy nights,
Though you are still out of sight, I continue on.
Please tell me, ocean-crossing winds,
That my prayers will pass through time.
kogoeru kaze no kaze mo
mada minu kimi e tsudzuku
oshiete umi wataru kaze
inori wa toki wo koeru
Even on those freezing, stormy nights,
Though you are still out of sight, I continue on.
Please tell me, ocean-crossing winds,
That my prayers will pass through time.
inori wa toki wo koeru
My prayers will pass through time.
Production notes: About half way into making it, my computer got infected with trojan, spyware, and adware. So, it was a bit of a challenge having to deal with both working on the video at the same time, closing so many pop ups. Thankfully, once I submit this, I can clean out my computer, hack into it, and re-boot everything.
