C-CLAYS – 愛しき影法師

Title: 愛しき影法師
Circle: C-CLAYS
Vocal: 小峠 舞 (Mai Kotoge)
Lyrics: 天音未優 (Amane Myu)
Arrangement: あとぐる (Atoguru)
Release Date: Dec 30, 2017
Requested By: Joseph Clemenson

This is a song that I’ve heard a lot but never would have figured out that it was Bismarck’s Image song.  However, I definitely makes more sense once you understand the lyrics.  The song tells of a solemn tale of a girl born for war, departed to foreign seas and cannot go home.  Only the silhouette of something/someone beloved can comfort her as she is laid to rest.

Touken Ranbu Hanamaru – 一対の火花、秘め事に触れ

Title: 一対の火花、秘め事に触れ (Touch With Your Secrets, Pair of Sparks)
Vocal: 諏訪部順一 (Junichi Suwabe), 山中真尋 (Masahiro Yamanaka)
Arrangement: 滝沢 章 (Akira Takizawa)
Release Date: Feb 2, 2018
Requested By:  Crossy Aidae

My first request for Touken Ranbu, a series about sword boys.  This song is a conversation between two swords who appear to be engaged in “battle”.  The first singer is Kikkou Sadamune, has somewhat of an masochistic personality.   Meanwhile, the second singer is Sengo Muramasa is known to have more of a sadistic personality.  The euphemistic language in strong in the song, with plenty of double meanings bold enough for an amateur like me to spot.
