Chasing the Wind (From OpenTaiko)

Lost Emotion. (From OpenTaiko)

The first of my (public) vocal songs, "Forever Fading Away", was made for OpenTaiko, and was finalized November 5th of 2022.

It's a song about dwelling on the future, so much so, that the present is already gone.

This song is also the sequel to "Dear Stars", and is the final part of ""If Only...""

From: Shinjitsu

Lyrics: 
upon a day unknown
he had awakened
in a world so familiar… 
though lacking much hue.
memories are being made… 
time is passing…
and leaving them behind

Cloudless faded light blue skies
surrounded the world he saw
an urgency was suddenly born
as that memory began to dissapear…

places, faces, sounds and tastes
empty streets, and light gray drizzling clouds
He seeked to discover the reason
for such settings being so familiar

memories and fragments of that time
he remembered
that moment breezed by from long ago
he realized…

as all those moments dissolve away,
just like always…
just like always, he’ll continue living life his way…
only covered in thoughts as time fades away
time and time again…
no matter hours, seconds, weeks, they dissapear
they dissapear and are left with not any meaning
the time passes and then never reappears…
he stays in that pure white world…

now this time that was once at his fingertips
had began to drift away
so he remains in the pure white world…
    

forever, endless, ilimitable. 


I really wasn't sure if i should post this here, because there are a lot of things i dont like about it when it comes to the vocals, and i was honestly pretty embarrased about it
but i finally got over that, many months later, haha.

Forever Fading Away

The second of my (public) vocal songs, "Dear Stars", was made for OpenTaiko, and was finalized November 15th of 2022.
This is a song about wanting to give up, plain and simple.

Details:
BPM: 168
Date: 11/8~11/15
From: Shinjitsu

Lyrics:
another day has passed
and you’ve awakened as always
each and every million of stars, you’re all
finally with me at last

so i ask to you, dear stars…
 
“why must this happen?
these little mistakes hurt so much
all of these fake words
all i did today… hurt so much.”

“i can only hide these feelings each day
and stay tainted with regret
and perhaps youre the only ones
who understand how i feel”

“shining above me, watching over me
i can only wish, dear stars
that you could tell me what i could do”
“you saw everything, you felt everything,
youve been through it all, you know it all”
why cant i just stay here
and find  you all again
until i fall asleep?
dear twinkling, shining stars, 
oh, whatever could i do…?   

(Side 1)
I don't want to go on
i can't keep going anymore
so, dear stars,
let me stay with you forever
please

(Side 2)
I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to
not anymore, not anymore, not anymore...
so, dear stars,
let me stay with you forever
please

I really wasn't sure if i should post this here, because there are a lot of things i dont like about it when it comes to the vocals, and i was honestly pretty embarrased about it

Stories of your negative past

Details:
BPM: 178
Date: 2/13/2023
From: Stories of Your Negative Past

Lyrics:

"8:00 on wednesday
dark clouds covered the sky
walking to school, i realized
something mustn't be right
but even then i thought
"could such a myth be true?"
as negativity surrounded the world,
i just didn't care

but is this a big change for me?
its just the same, as always.

on that day, the unlucky rain had fallen again
even if the blossoms may bloom,
the petals fall in the end
on that day, this cold, dark rain had covered those blue skies
perhaps no one will ever know
the truth of this, the truth of this…

though it was cold, 
and everyone's positivity had fell, 
the day still continued.

on that day, the unlucky rain had fallen again
even if the blossoms may bloom,
the petals fall in the end
on that day, this cold, dark rain had covered those blue skies
perhaps no one will ever know
the truth of this; the truth of this mystery.....

(i wonder if it's all because of me?)"

--------------------------------------------------------------

a song about someone who's very unlucky and worries about spreading the negativity.

Unlucky Rain

Details:
BPM: 198
Date: March? 2023
From: Stories of Your Negative Past

Lyrics:

When will the end arrive, I wonder?
Will we be gone, as the sky turns red?
After it takes me up with it forever,
where might it embrace?

September, the skies are blue, as usual
In a classroom, out of my head, as usual
Like everyday, nothing is new, and so...
When will I flutter off, like the petals in the wind?

As more useless time had passed, I had only lost more hope
as the sunset faded away.

Oh...

When will the end arrive, I wonder?
Will I be gone with clothes stained with black?
After it takes me up with it forever,
what might it become, will the world collapse?

And soon enough, the sky was turning red
with shatters in the floor, and over my head...
Sirens and screams surrounded I,
in the dark, I would say "Goodbye, Goodbye," because...

...it never mattered to me.

When will the end arrive, I wonder?
Will I be gone? There's nothing anymore...
After it takes me up with it forever,
can't I finally rest without a worry?
Won't I see what it's like to be free...?

When will I see...? 

--------------------------------------------------------------

a song about someone who awaits the earth colliding with a force greater then itself, and getting nothing in return.

i need to re-sing this its not as powerful as i wish it was

Lyrics:

In this life, I live on my own
…At least that's how it always feels
To me each day is just dark and cold
Every day is never even “just okay” for me

Expectations, Reality, Despair
That’s it, That’s all, that's all there’ll ever be
I’m alone, alone, forever, and it seems like that will never change

I wish i could live in a dream and escape this hideous reality
Where I’m just never enough, I'll never be enough
“Just who are you?” “Just who am I?” Questions ring around my head
I’m none, nothing at all, aren’t I?
Won’t I ever escape?

I 
WANT 
TO 
BLOOM

(chorus)
I wish i could live in a dream and escape this hideous reality
Where I’m just never enough… I'll NEVER BE ENOUGH!!
“Just who are you?” “Just who am I?” Questions ring throughout my head
I’m none, nothing at all, aren’t I?!
Won’t I ever escape?!

(I CAN’T SEE, I CAN’T HEAR, I CAN’T FEEL, I CAN’T BREATHE, 
I CAN’T SCREAM, I CAN’T CRY, WHO ARE YOU, WHO AM I?
CAN’T YOU SEE? WILL YOU SEE? I AM HERE! I AM ME!
CAN’T YOU HEAR? WONT YOU HEAR? ALL MY CRIES? ALL MY SCREAMS?
I CAN’T SEE, I CAN’T HEAR, I CAN’T FEEL, I CAN’T BREATHE, 
I CAN’T SCREAM, I CAN’T CRY, WHO ARE YOU, WHO AM I?
I CAN’T BREATHE, I CAN’T BREATHE, I CAN’T BREATHE, I CAN’T BREATHE, I CAN’T BREATHE, I CAN’T BREATHE….)

…let me free.

Lyrics:
‘today’ has ‘ended’ again
now the rain, and only I remain
soon the night covers up the truth,
it all repeats forever

“why must it be this way?”
abolishing the lenses that hide it all,
my vision blurs, the world turning into
the palest shade of blue

you say “the eyes are the gate to the soul”
it makes me wonder what it is 
that you see inside of my own…?

Words concealed in plain view,
Silently begging to be set free--
Artistry with true meanings of tears, 
It's right in front of you
“Can you hear me?”
Empty, I’ll be
The silence repeats
Maybe you’ll hear 
the (II)nd time…

tangled, all these feelings are,
and that reverie, its still so far
that distant dream, that last puzzle piece–
it leaves it all incomplete

“for now, i’ll be free” (for now, i’ll be free)
its all blurred, and yet so crystal clear…
so ill stay…
in this emptiness
once more, today.

don’t trust all of these new coats of paint,
‘cause in the end, they crack away again
if you knew this was me, would you… still… like… me…?

Words concealed in plain view,
Silently begging to be set free--
Artistry with true meanings of tears, 
It's right in front of you
“Can you hear me?”
Empty, I’ll be
The same words repeat
Maybe you’ll hear 
each word I say…
…

I know it’s all foolish,
so please don’t belittle me
won't you hear me, just one more time…?

Only I, when the night falls
Drained of the bright palette you used to know
Illustrating this feeling once more…
“I’m still quite lost”
Enclosed by all the times,
Day after day,
Regretful, I stay
Even my hollow soul
Can’t bear it all

but I’ll sing again, (this monochrome melody)
a (II)nd time


--------------------------------------------------------------

A song about a language of communication which no one seems to understand...

I am finally finished with this
I've been working on it for 4 months now, and I think
this may be one of the best things I've ever made.

Puzzle of "The End."

Lyrics:
君が私に初めて
告白したあの日から
私の心の中は
ずっと君のことが渦巻いていた

赤い糸の終わりはもう (why can't i just love you?)
見えないはずだね 
こんな強い絆があっても (those eyes scream "you're the fool")
思いは君に届かない

教えて...　どうしてこんなに　痛いの？

「飛べるよ、
どこまでも走るよ
君の素敵な笑顔また見るために

心の情熱はもっと燃え上がる
未来がどんなに怖くても…

私の炎の翼は
もっと明るく燃えている」

「会いたい」の欲望と
時間の障壁
閉じ込められているみたいだ



側にいなくて
暗くて痛いなのよ

時間が止まり、
でも私の翼は
止まらない



飛べるよ、
限界を越えてゆく--
大切なこの約束を守るために

その笑顔 / 温もり / 優しいな抱きしめで
桃色の世界しか見えない

私の炎の翼は (for an endless unison)
もっと明るく燃えている

君の心拍のペースに合わせて
君の側に飛んで行くよ！

A song about the burning passion that comes from lovesickness.
This is a very new emotion to me still, and a very welcome one too
I'm happy to finish another big song like this, especially one that holds this much meaning and value.
