A powerful song about the differences between immortal and mortals. The singer of this song is an immortal of some sort (maybe Doremy since she’s a youkai) who simultaneously admires and is confused by the seemingly insignificant human life. She then turns to reflecting on her own immortal life, unable to understand what that is either.
My first original doujin request. It’s nice and short, but seems like it ties into the other songs in the album. For Romaji, check out Eiki’s blog here.

“If there was a Japanese ship I could feel sorry for at all, it would be the Kumano.” – Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr.
Kumano and Suzuya took part in Leyte Gulf, the biggest naval battle in history. While Suzuya was sunk there, Kumano managed to survive and began her retreat. She was beset by and survived 8 different attacks on her long and painful journey home before finally sinking on the 9th attack.
Final note: the romaji of the title is “Juubaku”. The main line of this song is “ai ni juubaku”, pronounced like “I need you back”, means “a gunblast for love”.
Kumano’s story in English, basically what the interlude text is about: http://www.combinedfleet.com/atully04.htm
The prequel to Gunblast, this accounts Suzuya’s sinking at Leyte where Kumano was present. The title possibly means the feeling of release from death by gunshot.
