    SOUNDTRACK: Unmei no Akai Ito by Koshitomo & Kisetsu wa Tsugitsugi Shindeiku by Amazarashi

    Soundtrack to A Paranormal Yakuza Duet: Secrets & Sake by C.J. Ravenna

    Red String of Destiny by Koshitomo for a book about fated mates, a cruel world, and a courage to hope for tomorrow.

    Blue Sky Sun Let’s go fishing today
    The usual park with a large pond
    I’m not concentrating.
    Hey God, I’m going to use a special thread today.
    I want to believe in the red thread of fate
    And I’m waiting for you here today
    The magic of the future at the end of the thread
    The pond is sparkling in the sun
    But the world isn’t that sweet.

    I want to believe in the red thread of fate
    And today I was a little hopeful about the future

    Soundtrack to A Paranormal Yazuka Duet: Curses & Kitsune by C.J. Ravenna

    Seasons Die One After Another by Amazarashi for a book about shedding the past, embracing the future, and living in the moment.

    Dear My Loathsome Past,
    to you I offer this poem of farewell!

    I have cast away the remains of these days
    that can’t get any worse, these most terrible dreams even if it kills me.

    For in the next life,
    a flower will bloom to tell you a poem of transition;

    We spend some time wondering
    if we should go or head on back.
    I’m sure we’ll face hardship…
    but after the slightest hesitation,
    we straighten up and head onward.

    That’s right, we have to go!
    Even with nothing, we have to go on living!

    青空 太陽 今日は釣りに行こう
    いつもの公園 大きな池がある

    集中力のない僕だけど
    ねぇ神様 今日は特別な糸を使うよ

    運命の赤い糸を信じたい
    そして今日も僕はここで君を待ってる
    糸の先にある未来にかける魔法
    太陽で池がキラキラ光ってる

    だけどね 世の中 そんなに甘くない
    どれだけ待っても糸に反応はない

    ため息をつく 諦めの早い
    ああ僕だよ 今さら性格は変えれない

    運命の赤い糸は信じない
    だから今日は片付けて帰るとしようか
    大丈夫平気さ これはいつも通り
    本当は誰かに慰めてほしい

    トボトボと歩く帰り道 後ろから声をかけられた
    「落としましたよ?」渡された赤い糸
    「釣りの糸ですか?珍しい色ね」
    微笑む彼女

    運命の赤い糸を信じたい
    そして今日も僕はここで君を待ってる
    糸の先にある未来にかける魔法
    太陽で池がキラキラ光ってる
    運命の赤い糸を信じたい…
    運命の赤い糸を信じたい
    そして今日は未来にちょっと期待が持てた

    Blue Sky Sun Let’s go fishing today
    The usual park with a large pond
    I’m not concentrating.
    Hey God, I’m going to use a special thread today.
    I want to believe in the red thread of fate
    And I’m waiting for you here today
    The magic of the future at the end of the thread
    The pond is sparkling in the sun
    But the world isn’t that sweet.
    No matter how long you wait, there is no response to the thread

    Sigh, quick to give up
    Oh, it’s me, I can’t change my personality anymore
    I don’t believe in the red thread of fate
    So let’s clean up and go home today
    It’s okay, it’s okay, this is business as usual
    I really want someone to comfort me
    On the way home walking with a tobotobo,
    I was called out from behind “Did you drop it?”
    The red thread passed “Is it a fishing line?
    Smiling Girlfriend

    I want to believe in the red thread of fate
    And I’m waiting for you here today
    The magic of the future at the end of the thread
    The pond is sparkling in the sun
    I want to believe in the red thread of fate…
    I want to believe in the red thread of fate
    And today I was a little hopeful about the future

    季節は次々死んでいく 絶命の声が風になる
    色めく街の 酔えない男 月を見上げるのはここじゃ無粋

    泥に足もつれる生活に 雨はアルコールの味がした
    アパシーな目で 彷徨う街で 挙動不審のイノセント 駅前にて

    僕が僕と呼ぶには不確かな 半透明な影が生きてる風だ
    雨に歌えば 雲は割れるか 賑やかな夏の干涸びた命だ

    拝啓 忌まわしき過去に告ぐ 絶縁の詩
    最低な日々の 最悪な夢の 残骸を捨てては行けず ここで息絶えようと
    後世 花は咲き君に伝う 変遷の詩
    苦悩にまみれて 嘆き悲しみ それでも途絶えぬ歌に 陽は射さずとも

    明日は次々死んでいく 急いても追いつけず過去になる
    生き急げ僕ら 灯る火はせつな 生きる意味などは後からつく

    君が君でいるには不確かな 不安定な自我が 君を嫌おうと
    せめて歌えば 闇は晴れるか 根腐れた夢に預かった命だ

    拝啓 忌まわしき過去に告ぐ 絶縁の詩
    最低な日々の 最悪な夢の 残骸を捨てては行けず ここで息絶えようと
    後世 花は咲き君に伝う 変遷の詩
    苦悩にまみれて 嘆き悲しみ それでも途絶えぬ歌に 陽は射さずとも

    疲れた顔に足を引きずって 照り返す夕日に顔をしかめて
    行こうか 戻ろうか 悩みはするけど しばらくすれば 歩き出す背中
    そうだ行かねばならぬ 何はなくとも生きて行くのだ
    僕らは どうせ拾った命だ ここに置いてくよ なけなしの

    拝啓 今は亡き過去を想う 望郷の詩
    最低な日々が 最悪な夢が 始まりだったと思えば 随分遠くだ
    どうせ花は散り 輪廻の輪に還る命
    苦悩にまみれて 嘆き悲しみ それでも途絶えぬ歌に 陽は射さずとも

    季節は次々生き返る

    The seasons die out, one after another; cries of annihilation howl in the wind…

    A man not susceptible to the charms of the city looks up at the moon and notices how unrefined it all is.

    Among an everyday life tripped up by the mud, the rain itself tastes of alcohol;

    With eyes filled with apathy as they wander the city, innocents gather in front of the station, acting suspiciously.

    In order to uphold the unsteady fact that I’m me, it’s like my half-transparent shadow is has come to life.

    If I were to sing in the rain, would the clouds part? My life is all dried up in the midst of this bustling summer.

    Dear My Loathsome Past, to you I offer this poem of farewell!

    I have cast away the remains of these days that can’t get any worse, these most terrible dreams even if it kills me.

    For in the next life, a flower will bloom to tell you a poem of transition;

    A song filled with suffering, of which to grieve and moan, but never to die out… even if it is starved of sunlight.

    Tomorrow’ dies out, one after another; even if you hurry, you’ll miss them as they become the past,

    But to we who hurry through life, our flames are fickle, and we’re always adding meaning after the fact.

    In order to uphold the unsteady fact that you’re you, your unstable ego ventures to despise you; I you were merely able to sing, would the darkness be dispelled? Your life has been left up to a dream rotten at the core.

    Dear My Loathsome Past, to you I offer this poem of farewell!

    I have cast away the remains of these days that can’t get any worse, these most terrible dreams even if it kills me.

    For in the next life, a flower will bloom to tell you a poem of transition;

    A song filled with suffering, of which to grieve and moan, but never to die out… even if it is starved of sunlight.

    With a tired face, limping along; squinting at the reflected sunset..

    We spend some time wondering if we should go or head on back. I’m sure we’ll face hardship… but after the slightest hesitation, we straighten up and head onward.

    That’s right, we have to go! Even with nothing, we have to go on living!

    After all, our lives were just picked up along the way – we’ll leave them here as we proceed, what little they are.

    Dear My Loathsome Past, to you I offer this poem of farewell!

    I have cast away the remains of these days that can’t get any worse, these most terrible dreams even if it kills me.

    For in the next life, a flower will bloom to tell you a poem of transition;

    A song filled with suffering, of which to grieve and moan, but never to die out… even if it is starved of sunlight.

    Seasons revived, one after another
