Pale pink mist

STORY

Along the shrine approach, a pale pink mist unravels. Beckoned by the shadow of a paper lantern, you hear a single boundary bell ring. This Japanese-style fantasy pop track illuminates the way with a gentle evening glow, showing that one can move forward even while carrying hesitation and pain.

Moonlight, a water mirror, a vermilion torii, a thousand-year forest, and the pulse of taiko drums—quiet scenes layer over one another, loosening the knots in the listener's heart. With comforting words whispering "there is nothing to fear" and a gently swaying waltz rhythm, it is a song that carries you off beyond the dusk.

Translation

薄紅の霧ほどける参道Pale pink mist unraveling along the shrine path

紙灯籠の影が揺れて招くShadows of paper lanterns sway and beckon me near

袖に忍ばせた願いのかけらA shard of a wish tucked inside my sleeve

境界の鈴が ひとつ鳴ったThe bell at the boundary rang once, just once

水鏡に映る月を踏みI step on the moon mirrored in the water

息を止めて ひらり越えるHolding my breath, I cross over light as a leaf

名前のない夜がA night without a name

私をほどいてゆくIs unraveling me

ゆらり ゆらり 狐火のワルツSway and sway, a waltz of foxfire

胸の奥まで灯りが届くThe light reaches the deepest part of my chest

怖くないよ 迷いさえ抱いてThere is nothing to fear; I will hold even my doubt

宵の向こうへ 連れてゆくAnd carry it beyond the edge of dusk

千年の森で風がささやくIn the thousand-year forest, the wind whispers

折り鶴みたいな記憶が舞うMemories like paper cranes dance through the air

朱の鳥居をくぐるたびにEach time I pass beneath the vermilion torii gate

昨日の痛みが ほどけていくYesterday's pain comes quietly undone

手を伸ばせば 触れそうなのにIf I reach out, it feels close enough to touch

指先だけが すり抜けるYet only my fingertips slip straight through

それでも灯りはAnd still, that light is not

帰り道じゃなく 旅の合図The road back home, but a sign to set out

ゆらり ゆらり 宵灯りの海Sway and sway, an ocean of evening light

涙の粒さえ光に変わるEven the beads of my tears turn into light

もう戻れない でも進めるからNo turning back, but I can move forward now

月の刃で 未来を切り開けWith the blade of the moon, carve open the future

和太鼓の鼓動と 私の鼓動The pulse of the taiko and the pulse of my heart

重なって ひとつの祈りになるOverlap and become a single prayer

結び目ほどいて 結び直してUntying the knot, then tying it anew

新しい名前で 目を覚ますI wake up with a new name

ゆらり ゆらり 狐火のワルツSway and sway, a waltz of foxfire

境界線に花を散らしてScattering flowers along the boundary line

怖くないよ 迷いさえ歌にThere is nothing to fear; I turn even my doubt into song

この世とあの世を ひとつに結ぶBinding this world and the next into one
