Melody of Kamikakushi

STORY

Shadows swaying in a misty shrine, the sound of a bell unraveling and fading away. The more you call their name, the further they drift—yet you try to call them back with prayer and song.

Featuring an untouchable melody, an upside-down sky, and a door hidden in the gap between blinks, the story describes how the sacred invocation is swallowed by shadows and tears make no sound. Even so, you refuse to let go of the light, resolving to retie the unraveled threads of fate in this traditional Japanese-style fantasy narrative.

Lyrics (Japanese)

Translation

鈴の音 ほどけて消えるA bell's soft ring unravels and fades

名前を呼ぶほど 遠くなるThe more I call your name, the farther you drift

霧の社 影が揺れてIn the misty shrine, a shadow sways

足音だけが 連れていくOnly the footsteps lead me away

祈るほどに 近づく闇The more I pray, the closer the darkness draws

ひかりは細く 震えてるThe light grows thin, trembling low

聞こえる 触れられない旋律I hear a melody I cannot touch

掌に 乗らない温度A warmth that will not rest in my palm

戻り道は 目を伏せたままThe way back keeps its eyes cast down

思い出だけ 透けていくOnly the memories turn translucent and fade

神隠しの調べMelody of Kamikakushi

胸の奥をほどくUnwinding deep within my chest

消えない願いだけがOnly this wish that will not die

夜を渡る灯Becomes the light that crosses the night

神隠しの調べMelody of Kamikakushi

あなたの名をなぞるTracing the letters of your name

帰れないならせめてIf I cannot return, then at least

祈りを連れてLet this prayer go with you

水面にも 逆さの空On the water's surface, an upside-down sky

笑い声だけ 置いてあるOnly the laughter is left behind

結び目ほどく 指先がThe fingertips that loosen every knot

まだ現の熱を持つStill hold the warmth of the living world

答えは たぶん静けさの中The answer lies perhaps inside the silence

瞬きの隙間の扉A door within the gap of a blink

手を合わせる その一秒でIn that single second when I press my palms together

世界が少し 反転するThe world turns over just a little

祝詞は 影に吸われThe sacred invocation is swallowed by shadows

涙は 音にならないTears cannot make a sound

それでも私は ここで歌うAnd yet, I stand right here and sing

あなたを戻すためTo bring you back to me

神隠しの調べMelody of Kamikakushi

闇の奥へ届けReach deep into the darkness

ほどけた運命の糸をThe thread of fate that came undone

結び直せI will tie it back together once more

神隠しの調べMelody of Kamikakushi

最後に残る灯The last lamp left to burn

消える瞬間までUntil the very moment it goes out

祈り続けるI will keep on praying
