Title: Hana ~Memento Mori (Flower ~a Reminder of Death)
Words: Sakurai Kazutoshi
Music: Sakurai Kazutoshi

A well traveled path colored by sighs.
I’ll get sucked into the crowd
count the dreams which somehow just vanished.

Friends my own age are starting families
everyone knows there are many outlooks on life,
you can still change sadness into gentleness and live.

So that I won’t lose and I won’t wilt
I’ll be a laughing blooming flower
When I find myself suddenly lost, I’ll collect the wind and
take to the sky, now.

Love can’t relate to you its philosophies and heated arguments.
all we can do is softly pray so this feeling doesn’t fade away.
I wish not to be naive, to be held, to separate this sadness among us.

Because surely a life size me will be loved,
Even supposing its reckless, I’ll paint the ultimate dream
I don’t care if they laugh.

At last I understand it, even if everything is randomly destined.
Even if I have to bear a little risk, I want to try ! Love Love !

chorus
lalala…in my heart eternally that flower blooms.
