While watching today's episode of Gundam Age, a new insert song played. It was Faylan's voice and the song sounded really familiar and then it hit me. It was a song included in the White Justice single and the lyrics were specifically written for Lu and Kio.
Kimi to ita hibi, the days we spent together. After watching the episode, my head was screaming "LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!"
Even though we just met, you brought color into my life. Even if I cannot see you again, thank you for teaching me the happiness of living.
My respect for Faylan has once again increased. She writes the lyrics for all her songs and the lyrics for White Jusitce and Kimi to ita hibi were just so spot-on. Not to mention that she has a really awesome voice too. Thank you for enriching my Gundam Age experience.
長いこの道のように 今が続いたらいいな
丘の上で見た景色は 凄惨の日を語っていた
それでも君がいたから 世界は彩られていく
さよならが そこに待っていても
温かい優しさを抱いて・・・
君がもう哀しい想いをしないように
思いきり笑ってみせたんだ
もっと上手に出来たはずなのに
涙は正直だね・・・
生きる喜びを知って「幸せ・・・」と呟いてみた
他愛ない言葉さえも ’美しい’ 響きとなり
奏でる夢限られても 一歩ずつでいい 進んでいこう
命の灯が消える時 宇宙にキセキ降らせるよ
泣かないで 二度と逢えなくても
愛した証は変わらない
いつの日か記憶の中で 少しずつ
薄れていかないように
何度も笑い 笑ってくれた
君に綴る 未来日記
色褪せない刻を歩んで
輝ける明日を生きてほしい
「また来るからね」たとえ次はなくとも
嬉しかったよ 忘れないよ・・・
君と出逢い 希望の意味を知った
愛しい痛みまでも
そう全て教えてくれた
「ありがとう・・・」幸せでした
ありがとう 君といた日々

It will be great if we can stay like this for as long as this path goes on
The scenery we saw at the top of that hill tells of the sadness to come
Even so, my world started to regain its color because you were there
Even if "Goodbye" is waiting for us
For now, let me just embrace your warm kindness
I put on my very best smile
so that you will not have to experience sadness again
I really wanted it to be better but
these overflowing tears are honest
Finally knowing the joy of living, I whispered that I was happy
Even childish words became beautiful echoes
I know that my dream is short-lived but one step at a time, let me go on with it
When the flame of a life is extinguished, a miracle falls from the skies
Don't cry even if we won't meet again
because the proof that I loved you will never change
May the memories
never fade away
You kept smiling, laughing for me
in this future diary I composed for you
Walking in times that will never fade in color
I want you to live in tomorrow, sparkling
"I will come again" Even if there is no next time
I was really happy and I will never forget...
I learnt the meaning of "Hope" by meeting you
Everything was so lovely, even the pain I felt
You taught me all of these
"Thank You" I was really happy
Thank You for the days we spent together

AKINO with bless4 - Eve no danpen イヴの断片
Fragments of Eve. This is one of the final insert songs for Aquarion Evol. Performed by AKINO with bless4, this vocal and dance unit has been providing the theme songs for the Aquarion series. Composed by Kanno Yoko of Macross and Ghost in the Shell fame, you can expect a high level masterpiece tailored to the anime and the performing artiste.
Aquarion can be summed up with one word and that is "Love". It is about love transcending time and space, about love overcoming the material and mental planes. It is about undying love as the characters get reincarnated every 12,000 years and yet still fall in love with the same partner. All that with a dash of superhuman powers and giant combining robots and you get Aquarion.
For Aquarion Evol, it felt pretty boring at the start but it started to pick up near the end when many truths about the story surfaced much like the first series. It isn't a must to watch the first series but it is advisable to at least read the legend of Aquarion from the wikipedia page.
Fragments of Eve illustrates the complex emotions felt between the hero and heroine.
君の穢れたイヴの断片を
僕のアダムが千年求める
言葉は試みに意味を捧げて
生まれおちる絶望を奇跡と呼んだ
開いた両腕が 翼になることはない
舞い上がる情熱が 空に届くことはない
谷間にうずく秘密に牙を立て
火傷する暗がりに
明かりを招かなければ
君の穢れたイヴの断片を
僕のアダムが千年求める
見つけて欲しい 見ないで欲しい
守って欲しいと泣き止まない
僕が必要なんだね ツミビト
全てを知って次に生まれても
胸の高鳴りを前にひざまづこう
しびれる奔放を 愛と呼んでもいいか
不実な残響を
涙を愛していいか
リンゴをかじる
神話をそっと齧る
埋めたい空白に
光をかざさなければ
君の穢れたイヴの断片を
僕のアダムが取り乱すから
抱きしめたい 離れたくない
放さないでとささやいて
僕と躓けばいい コイビト
図々しさも 聞きわけなさも
解き放てば音楽
神話の端にしがみついて
禁じられた口づけ交わそう
君の謎めくイヴの断片に
僕のアダムがざわめき止まない
抱きしめたい 離れたくない
放さないでとささやいて
僕と躓けばいい
見つけて欲しい 見ないで欲しい
守って欲しいと泣き止まない
僕が必要なんだね ツミビト
僕に崩れればいい 可愛い人
僕が必要なんだね ツミビト

For a thousand years, my Adam yearned for
your tainted fragments of Eve
Words tried to offer meaning
and named the despair of being born a miracle
Your outstretched arms will never become wings
Your soaring passion will never reach the skies
I secretly bore my fangs to the throbbing in the valley
We must invite light
into this burnt darkness
For a thousand years, my Adam yearned for
your tainted fragments of Eve
"Please find me, don't look at me
Please protect me" as my tears overflow
You need me right? Sinner
Even if we reincarnated with our past memories
We will still kneel before the violent throbbing of our hearts
This uninhibited numbness, can I call it love?
These insincere echoes
Can i love these tears?
Gnawing an apple
Slowing eroding a Legend
This void that I want to fill
I need to block out the light
My Adam will scatter
your tainted fragments of Eve
Embrace me, don't leave me
Whisper to me that you will never let me go
It is fine to stumble with me, my lover
Your impudence, your lack of understanding
if I just let them go then it will become music to my ears
Let's exchange a forbidden kiss
as we cling onto the edge of this Legend
Your tainted fragments of Eve
are stirring up the Adam in me
Embrace me, don't leave me
Whisper to me that you will never let me go
It is fine to stumble with me
"Please find me, don't look at me
Please protect me" as my tears overflow
You need me right? Sinner
You can crumble into me, my darling
You need me right? Sinner

Egoist - エウテルペ
This is the song that captured the hearts of many when it was played right at the beginning of Guilty Crown episode 1.
Translated as Euterpe, out of the various people/things Euterpe can refer to, I find that the definition of Utopia is the most apt for this song. Thus, Euterpe in this case is a word that simply suggests perfection. Much like how Utopia suggests a perfect place where everyone can live happily and peacefully. However, in this song the definition is used more as a contrast and opposite to the lyrics in the song which centers around the question "Why can't human beings stop fighting?"
There is another definition of interest. Euterpe can also refer to one of the 9 muses, daughters of the Titaness Mnmosyne and the God Zeus. Euterpe is the muse of music and lyric poetry and this might come into play when Inori's past is explained in future episodes.
咲いた野の花よ
ああ どうか教えておくれ
人は何故 傷つけあって
争うのでしょう
凛と咲く花よ
そこから何が見える
人は何故 許しあうこと
できないのでしょう
雨が過ぎて夏は
青を移した
一つになって
小さく揺れた
私の前で
何も言わずに
枯れていく友に
お前は何を思う
言葉を持たぬその葉で
なんと愛を伝える
夏の陽は陰って
風が靡いた
二つ重なって
生きた証を
私は唄おう
名もなき者のため
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O blooming wild flower
Wouldn't you tell me
Why do people have disputes
and hurt each other?
O awe-inspiring flower
What can you see from there?
Why can't people forgive
one another
It was raining so much that
the summer was void of blue
Everything swayed gently
and melded into one
in front of me
without a word
What do you think
of your friend wilting away?
Somehow, try to teach love
to this leaf that holds no words
The summer sun gets clouded
while the wind yields
Overlapping
I shall sing
the proof of existence
for those without a name
