The second music video is now available.
The second music video, completed after many trials and errors, is a song that has been loved in Japan for a long time.
Although this song was written in the Meiji era (1901) and sings about the fragility of the human world, I feel that there is a wish to praise humanity in it.
Otherwise, it would not have been able to move people’s hearts for more than a century.
The English lyrics, which I have translated, are as follows.
"Kōjō no Tsuki" “The Moon Over the Ruined Castle 1 A banquet is being held in a high castle with a great view in the spring While many chalices were coming and going Suddenly a shadow is reflected on the surface of the chalice 2 New branches sprout from the evergreen pines that represent eternity How fleetingly the glory of man's creation passes by! 3 Coldness appears as frost on the land that was the battlefield Counting the number of birds singing, I watch the souls of the scattered samurai. The light reflects off the samurai swords that stand on the ground as a sign of surrender. Where has the glory of the past passed away? ４ Now. The moon over the Ruined Castle For whom is the unchanging moonlight? All that remains on the stone walls are weeds Only storms sing in the pines ５ Though the appearance of all things does not change But the rise and fall of man is ever changing That is the way of the world Symbolizing these things is the moon Oh the moon of the night over the Ruined Castle Ah, the moon of the night over the Ruined CastleLyrics by Doi Bansui
