As I always say,
Our interaction with them brings life
even unto those objects which are not living beings.

The reverberation of this Fushitsusha breathes life
into non-living sound reproduction equipment.





1. Just before

2. My precious thing

My most precious thing
Most valued tiny and adorable thing
most precious more than that poison-like thing ...
This my most valued thing that will let me fly faster
Than even poison
My my most precious
My my most most precious
A thing that will let me fly faster
Than poison tiny
I will show it to you

3. Black cluster

It's appeared there the black cluster
It's appeared there the black cluster
That which has become black of its own volition
Gathering black intimates, taking on itself every humiliation
It's own law



the time is nigh picture(4)

4. The time is nigh

If the expected time comes
If the expected time comes

If the expected time comes
If the expected time comes
All depends on you

If the expected time comes
If the expected time comes
Ah, all depends on you

If the expected time comes
If the expected time ...
You
