There are hundreds of kanjis which can be read as “shin” in their on-yomi reading. That’s why I translated it this way.Ībout “shin”, things get more difficult. On a side note, “furu” also mean “to fall”, and can be used in a sentence to express “the snow is falling”, “it’s snowing”. Starting from the beginning, the song keeps on repeating “furu furu furu” and “shin shin shin”.īoth “furu” and “shin” repeated all those times are merely there to make the song more lullaby-ish, and to create an atmosphere with onomatopeia-like sounds like those. I love this song and its vibe, but this translation will be really challenging, mostly because the feel it’s conveying is pretty damn difficult to reproduce in another language. What about a japanish song about snow and winter in the middle of one of the hottest summer of my whole life?Ĭome on, we all like things like that, just like when they broadcast those totally uncalled for Christmas movies when it’s not Christmas. – Eight stanza: “higashi no kuni (wa kyou mo) nemuranai yoru (…)” features “higashi no kuni no nemuranai yoru”, which is the japanese title for Sleepless Night of Eastern Country, a them appearing both in Shoot the Bullet and Magical Astronomy. In the manga, Yukari uses this reflection on the water to get in the moon by using her boundary manipulation powers. – On the seventh stanza there could be an allusion to Silent Sinner in Blue, where “another world” (The Moon) is floating on the water surface. – The fourth stanza has a “mukou gawa no tsuki”, aka “The Far Side of the Moon”, closing track from Magical Astronomy. That’s why it talks about a box, an unknown truth inside it and the wish to know it for real. – The third stanza refers to Schrödinger’s cat theory. “Sakaime” and “kyoukai” mean the same thing, more or less. – Second stanza: While the original piece is called “yume to genjitsu no KYOUKAI”, in this song it appears “夢と現実の境目” (yume to genjitsu no SAKAIME), “border between dreams and reality”, which is a theme appearing in Changeability of Strange Dream. – As I said, there are some quotes from touhou / titles of themes and such. If it’s our, that it will reveal the key to this secret What was certain, everything that before was magic… Will pass over the sleepless night the eastern country’ll have today too Our enigmatic telepathy that can reach far away distances Katsute wa mahou datta atari mae no koto mo subete waĪnata to watashi naraba himitsu no kagi o akerareru no Higashi no kuni wa kyou mo nemuranai yoru oi koshite Tooku hanare tsuujiru nazomeita terepashii The piece from this puzzle is surely right there. So let’s ask question each other and find it: Was something holding a true meaning in it So that even things I can’t see start to appear before my eyes:Įven everything that I’ve let slip from my hands The place we’re about to reach but we just can’t is so beautiful yet transientīut we’ll solve each mystery just a bit more, until dawn rises Let’s take each other hands and dream to fly over the far side of the Moon ![]() Our secretly concealed stories are firmly tied together, Nazo o subete akasou yoru ga akeru made mou sukoshi Utsukushikute hakanai todoki sou de todokanai basho Te to te awase yume miru mukou gawa no tsuki tobigoete Tsunagari au futari no hisomeita monogatari Towards the border between dreams and reality… The light radiated by the Moon and the stars You can start seeing it once you close you eyes, I’ll solve all the mysteries I can’t yet explain It’s style is close to TUMENECO‘s, I must say, but its instrumental section has pretty much nothing to do with them.Īnyway, I’m hyped enough for ZUN’s new announcement for C90, Dateless Bar “Old Adam”, another hifuu original CD with 5 new tracks, which seems to scream “ALCOHOL! JAZZ! UWABAMI BREAKERS!” everywhere, and I can’t be happier about it ![]() It is full of quotes from touhou, from themes’ titles ( The Far Side of the Moon, Border Between Dreams and Reality) to facts / episodes, like the Moon’s reflection on the water from Silent Sinner in Blue. This song came out a bunch hours ago, and it’s an arrange of Schrödinger’s Bakeneko from ZUN’s latest (at least for few more weeks!) CD Dr.
