Cute little Aoi-chan brings her mother a flower that she’s found growing stubbornly in one of the cracks in the playground asphalt and Dai-chan laughs upon receiving it, saying “thank you very much” in her politest voice and kissing the top of her daughter’s head. It’s rare for Dai-chan to laugh, being generally a very serious person, but at the times when she does, it’s most often around Aoi-chan. Miu observes the scene playing out before her like the best Takarazuka musical – except, in Takarazuka Dai-chan would have played an entirely different role and it’s difficult imagining her happier in any other than the one she’s performing right now, crouching down to correct the arrangement of the pleats in Aoi-chan’s skirt. The role of a mother. Not generally the role of an otokoyaku, but Dai-chan isn’t an otokoyaku anymore. She’s an Old Girl. And a dancer, perhaps despite her age.

onelittlefeather: (only my damp cage)







Metal Link

Lyrics: KOTOKO | Musical Arrangement: DECO*27 | Translation: Ramona



one morning, i woke up.
i was alone, with my old shoes on.
i was wandering across the city.

the deserted train station,
the narrow sidewalk,
the square where even the fountains had been stopped.
the lights of the city, fading away.
before them all - an angel standing.
slipping between the people coming and going,
she pierced my eyes.

in a small voice; keep on singing,
the blue bird that i found.
hey, please don’t stop; come on, sing,
my very own canary.
until dawn.

leaving everything behind,
i went there almost every day,
only my damp cage
would be waiting for my return.

without tiring, the blue bird
went on just sending out her voice.
like a shadow play,
unheard by the ordinary ones.

you coward! she scolded me.
today again, you’re only watching,
but don’t cry
your voice;
it’s only me who knows it.

now our eyes met.
did you laugh a little?
did you notice destiny?
i was waiting.
"come, come here."
i went just one step closer --

-- but without waiting a single second,
she flew away.
why? blue bird,
you are free, i knew that,
and i am also free.
from today on.
