The lyrics give me some “Border of Life” vibes from Alstroemeria Records’ Haunted Dancehall. If you enjoy Night Sakura of Dead Spirits arranges, be sure to check out the LAST MOMENT as well. When I think of Yuyuko, I get the colour pink stuck in my head though.

saigo da to wakatteita keredo
omoi dasu no wa ano hana no awai kaori

Although I understood that it was the end
all I could recall was the faint scent of those flowers

終わる事は新しい始まり
信じて消えた願い達
閉じていく瞳　消える世界

owaru koto wa atarashii hajimari
shinjite kieta negai tachi
tojite yuku hitomi kieru sekai

Ending means a new beginning
Wishes I believed in disappear
My eyes close, the world extinguishes

瞬いた　星　光の影に
溺れる月　壊れた　記憶を　巻き戻す
花の色　褪せた夢　思い出のかけらの中に
今　何を探してる

matataita hoshi hikari no kage ni
oboreru tsuki kowareta kioku o maki modosu
hana no iro aseta yume omoide no kakera no naka ni
ima nani o sagashiteru

The stars shined in the shadows of the light
The drowning moon rewinds my broken memories
In the flowers’ colours, in the stale dreams, in the fragments of my memories
right now, what am I searching for?

さよならを　告げられないままに
散っていくのは　あの花の希望の意味

sayonara o tsugerarenai mama ni
chitte yuku no wa ano hana no kibou no imi

Remaining unable to say goodbye
what falls and scatters is the meaning of hope for those flowers

巡る想い　懐かしい景色
浮かんで消えた　流れ星
色褪せていく　消える世界

meguru omoi natsukashii keshiki
ukande kieta nagareboshi
iro asete yuku kieru sekai

Feelings revolve, the scenery is nostalgic
Shooting stars popped up and disappear
The disappearing world loses colour

抱きしめた　希望　命の残花
見果てぬ夢　砕けた　記憶は　もういない
願っては　諦めて　傷つけた涙の中に
今　何を探してる

daki shimeta kibou inochi no zanka
mi hatenu yume kudaketa kioku wa mou inai
negatte ha akiramete kizutsuketa namida no naka ni
ima nani o sagashiteru

The hope that I hugged close was the last flower of life
Like a dream unseeable to the end, my smashed memories are no longer
Wishing means to give up, in my tears when I hurt
right now, what am I searching for?

いつまでも　いつまでも　そばにいたい　そばにいたい
それだけで　それだけで　強くなれる　気がしてた
さようなら　さようなら
もう一度

itsu made mo itsu made mo soba ni itai soba ni ita
sore dake de sore dake de tsuyoku nareru ki ga shiteta
sayounara sayounara
mou ichido

I want to be with you, I want to be with you, for all time, for all time,
Just by that, just by that, I felt I could become stronger
Good bye, good bye
one more time

生まれ変わったなら　静かに咲いて
風に歌い　壊れた　記憶を　思い出す
花の色　消えた夢　色の無い世界の中で
今　愛を探してる

umare kawatta nara shizuka ni saite
kaze ni utai kowareta kioku o omoi dasu
hana no iro kieta yume iro no nai sekai no naka de
ima ai o sagashiteru

If I’ve been reborn, I’ll silently bloom
Singing in the wind, I recall my broken memories
The flowers’ colours, the dreams that vanished, in a world without colour
right now, I’m searching for love

Complete with a period in the song title, nice. That makes 2 songs dedicated to Yoshika in this album now, but that’s not too surprising considering the album’s theme.

kurogari no michi nani mo iranai
doko made mo aruite ikeru ki ga ne shiteta
saigo ni kizamu piriodo no yume
sasageru omoi saigo no uta kimi e to

The path is dark, I don’t need a thing
I felt that I could go and walk on as far as I wanted
The dream of the period that marks my final moments,
the feelings I offer, the poem of my final moments, it’s all for you

旅立ちを告げる鐘の音が響く
とまどいながら　彷徨いながら
喪失の果てに　何か残せるなら
終わらせること　受け入れられる

tabidachi o tsugeru kane no oto ga hibiku
tomadoinagara samayoinagara
soushitsu no hate ni nani ka nokoseru nara
owaraseru koto uke irerareru

The bells signalling the beginning of a journey ring
while I’m left bewildered, while I wander about
If I can leave something to remain at the end of loss
I’ll be able to accept ending

さよならの先で　また会いましょう
さよならの果てでまた会いましょう

sayonara no saki de mata aimashou
sayonara no hate de mata aimashou

After the goodbye, let’s meet again
At the end of the goodbye, let’s meet again

懐かしい詩　誰も知らない
いつも聴いていられる気がね　してた
夜空に刻む　ピリオドの星
捧げる旋律　最期の詩　君へと

natsukashii uta dare mo shiranai
itsu mo kiiteirareru ki ga ne shiteta
yozora ni kizamu piriodo no hoshi
sasageru melody saigo no uta kimi e to

It’s a nostalgic poem which nobody knows
I felt I could go on listening to it forever
The stars of the period which carve into the night sky
the melody I offer, the poem of my final moments, it’s all for you

始まりを告げる鳥の声が響く
足りない物は　無いはずなのに
喪失の果てに　何か待っているなら
目隠しをして　微笑みかけて

hakimari o tsugeru tori no koe ga hibiku
tarinai mono wa nai hazu nanoni
soushitsu no hate ni nani ka matteiru nara
mekakushi o shite hohoemi kakete

The voices of the birds signalling the beginning rings
There shouldn’t be anything that’s lacking though
If there’s something waiting at the end of loss
I’ll wear a blindfold and put on a smile

さよならの先で　また会いましょう
さよならの果てでまた会いましょう

sayonara no saki de mata aimashou
sayonara no hate de mata aimashou

After the goodbye, let’s meet again
At the end of the goodbye, let’s meet again

僕を包み込んでくれたものは
幻だった　陽炎だった
また　出会えるなら　喜んで描くから
ピリオドの夢　ピリオドの詩

boku o tsutsumi konde kureta mono wa
maboroshi datta kagerou datta
mata de aeru nara yorokonde kaku kara
periodo no yume piriodo no uta

The things that wrapped me up were
just illusions, just mirages
If we can meet again, I’ll gladly draw them after all
The dream of the period, the poem of the period

さよならの先で　また会いましょう
さよならの果てでまた会いましょう

sayonara no saki de mata aimashou
sayonara no hate de mata aimashou

After the goodbye, let’s meet again
At the end of the goodbye, let’s meet again

Ah, you’d probably be getting sick of me if I talked about how much I enjoy this song as well.

oi kaketemo chika dzukezu
nige tsudzuketemo hanarerarezu
mugen no hazama de yureteru
kawa no nagare ni mi o makasete

Even if you pursue it, you can’t get close
Even if you keep running away, you can’t get further
Swaying at the gap of infinity
surrender yourself to the flow of the river

おやすみ　哀しい魂達よ
安らかな　眠りにつきなさい

oyasumi kanashii tamashiitachi yo
yasuraka na nemuri ni tsukinasai

Good night, all you sorrowful souls
Please go and now rest in peace

愛も　哀しみも　痛みも　何もかも
超えてしまえば　全てはもう幻
さよなら現世　ようこそ望んでいた　新しい世界
夢も　憎しみも　痛みも　何もかも
消えてしまえば　全てはもう幻
向こう岸　揺れる　花の香りに　誘われて
踊り続けてる

ai mo kanashimi mo itami mo nani mo kamo
koete shimaeba subete wa mou maboroshi
sayonara gense youkoso nozondeta atarashii sekai
yume mo nikushimi mo itami mo nani mo kamo
kiete shimaeba subete wa mou maboroshi
mukougishi yureru hana no kaori ni sasowarete
odori tsudzuketeru

Love and grief and pain and everything else
If you end up crossing over, everything will already be an illusion
Goodbye cruel world, welcome to the new world you desired
Dreams and hate and pain and everything else
If you end up disappearing, everything will already be an illusion
Being lured by the scent of the swaying flowers on the far shore
they continue dancing

近づいても　追いつけず
離れ続けても　逃げられず
終わりの瞬間がもう来てる
時の流れに　身を任せて

chika dzuitemo oi tsukezu
hanare tsudzuketemo nigerarezu
owari no shunkan ga mou kiteru
toki no nagare ni mi o makasete

Even if you get closer, you can’t reach it
Even if you keep distancing yourself, you can’t escape
The time for the end is already here
surrender yourself to the flow of time

おやすみ　愚かな魂達よ
穏やかな　死がここにある

oyasumi oroka na tamashiitachi yo
odayaka na owari ga koko ni aru

Good night, all you foolish souls
A quiet death awaits you here

善も悪も　黒も白も　何もかも
混ぜてしまえば全てはもう幻
さよなら未来　ようこそ望んでいた　美しい世界

zen mo aku mo kuro mo shiro mo nani mo kamo
mazete shimaeba subete wa mou maboroshi
sayonara mirai youkoso nozondeta utsukushii sekai

Good and evil and black and white and everything else
if you end up mixing them up, everything will already be an illusion
Goodbye to your future and welcome to the beautiful world you desired

光も影も　強さも弱ささえも
消えてしまえば　全てはもう幻
向こうに岸　視える　花の行方に　導かれ
踊り続けてる

hikari mo kage mo tsuyosa mo yowasa sae mo
kiete shimaeba subete wa mou maboroshi
mukougishi mieru hana no yukue ni michibikare
odori tsudzuketeru

Light and dark and strength and even weakness too
if you disappear everything will already be an illusion
Being guided by the location of the flowers on they see on other side
they continue dancing

愛も　哀しみも　痛みも　何もかも
超えてしまえば　全てはもう幻
さよなら現世　ようこそ望んでいた　新しい世界
夢も　憎しみも　痛みも　何もかも
消えてしまえば　全てはもう幻
向こう岸　揺れる　花の香りに　誘われて
踊り続けてる

Love and grief and pain and everything else

Goodbye cruel world, welcome to the new world you desired
Dreams and hate and pain and everything else
If you end up disappearing, everything will already be an illusion
Being lured by the scent of the swaying flowers on the far shore
