Fun fact: I use this instrumental as my alarm. If it ever goes off, I am jumpscared by the first few piano notes. But if I let the song play out, I start feeling very happy. So my relationship with this song is that now I am traumatized first couple of notes and nothing else lol

Anyway, yay! My full cover of my 2nd favorite Kagerou song! Honestly, on some days, this song surpasses Yobanashi Deceive in my eyes. Anyway, what can I say about Haruka and Konoha? Haruka is great. I didn't think that much about the lovable guy until I watched ItDoBeJewell's    • Video  . He has ascended my favorite character rankings. Konoha's cool. Always great to be the muscle of the group. And it's also awesome that Konoha's both intimidating and cute in his derpiness. It would be so great to be friends with either of these guy. I'm sure I could convince Konoha not to completely deprive me of food XD

Lyrics:
The summer breeze still knocks at my door,
I open just to see all the clouds
And hear the birds chirping so carefreely from all around

My incomplete story in my hands,
I look away just to greet the day with a smile.
I guess I’m not used to not being blinded to the person I am


The weather today feels so fine
Like yesterday when we watched all the clouds
Just close your eyes, feel the sunlight
Relax cause nothing can bother us now

The days long gone had flown right past
Our memories fading to white and back
As years fly by, we all realize
Our laughter will ring through the nights

Ahh Ahh Whoa Whoa

Faking adulthood, you and I
Forged our own strength as we barreled through life
“Each day’s a war,” resignedly said
Joining our hands to move on to the next

The craziness became our norm
Forced on the ones who had none by their side
Lost as we were, trapped in our storms,
Fought back when nothing seemed alright

Rinse and repeat, like cutting fields of grass
Sun burning down on our weary backs
Through all the pain, life became mundane
But you still called the same, “Come, join the gang!”

Withering feelings flood back to our heads.
The cicadas’ buzzing ne’er seemed to end.
Unite the mind, create our own reality
“Break the illusion, then we’ll be free”


Rally back to the secret base,
Our stronghold of old, happy days
Let’s recall when we were naive,
When smiling came easily.

When cloudy days abruptly died
As if a jetstream split our sky
What did your face look like back then?
I don’t know why, but I can’t remember, my friend


And as the days break away toward the end of this play
Restart the clock back to midnight, suffer for my endless delight!
“Give it all back” your sad lament
“I’ve had enough” your mad protest
After all we’ve been through, you think I care about you?!
This brittle, whimsical, miserable story won’t ever-


A painful time had come to pass,
Moving so quick, none of us could react
We chose a future for us all,
A bright future that still started to fall

It felt like living on borrowed time.
Adult worries raining down on our heads.
But now we’ve come to realize
Fleeing won’t help us move ahead

A world revolving around troubled ones.
We’re stars orbiting round a withering sun.
Eyes still ablaze through the heat and haze.
“Don’t forget why we’re here! We’ll persevere!”

Dreaming of days greater than those before
Won’t wait for tomorrow to knock at my door
No turning back, we're taking on the world ahead
"Change it till it’s o’erflowing red"


Our lonely days are over now
Our burning flame never burnt out
We rallied to this base somehow
Against all odds, made our route

The children, who have now grown old,
United through the lonely cold
Though different paths, we now will lead
“We’ll meet again surely”

“How beautiful,” we’d say as one
A clear blue sky and setting sun
Let’s breathe it in, try not to cry
It’s time we said our goodbyes

We’ll rally to our secret base
And laugh again there in future days
Never forget the bond we shared
It will bring us back here, I’ll see you again!

We won’t forget!

Oh “happiness”, what a fickle friend you’re always
I hope when tomorrow comes, they’ll love it anyway
