メリー (Merry) - 月食
Lunar Eclipse
[Lyrics: Gara Music: Yuu]
It was a misty day. I became a prisoner of you who was nameless, fleeting and beautiful.
Unaware that this love would be unfulfilled...*
Your sexual passion's blues your singing voice becoming hoarse what, what an elegy that was.
And the clock on the wall echoes
Walked the city of desire illuminated by such a great number of street lights
When you turn left on the "street corner with no tomorrow", there is an establishment.
In its decadent secret room I saw spring. What, what an obscene dream that was.
The clock on the wall echoes
"Happiness is invisible to the eye, there are no types, colours and flavours to it. Did you know this?"

Walked the city of pleasure illuminated by the street lights of lust
When you turn left on the "street corner with no tomorrow", there is an establishment.
In its exclusive secret room I bought spring. What, what an idle dream that was.
The clock on the wall echoes
"It's the response of happiness, but that's because it's been buried halfway underneath the ground."
Shabadabadan Dadada Dadan Dandan

You cannot be caught by anybody You've become a fluttering butterfly.
Notes:
*The expression used here, "徒花", "adabana", "a flower that bears no fruit", actually means "unfulfilled love".
**"I love only you" backwards.
“You interested?” The blonde’s deep voice had a gravelly rumble to it that had nothing to do with the way he unfolded himself to stand. His height was impressive, a good few centimetres over Aoi’s own and his voice deeper by more. He walked to Aoi, stepping out of the confines of his home - his brothel - a practice that was never done.
“Ah, I, umm… I mean… ah, no.”
“Did ya actually look at ‘im?” the man asked and Aoi was hard pressed to wonder how someone with such a feminine face could talk with such ineloquence.
“No,” Aoi blurted out, his tongue tied. He felt that saying yes would be the wrong answer yet as soon as he saw the blonde man’s face he knew that he’d called the situation wrong. “I mean, yes. Yes. I did. I mean…” not knowing what else to say, Aoi turned his eyes from the tall ‘mama-san’ towards the seated prostitute. Somehow, in that moment, he was able to find his voice through a sigh. “He’s gorgeous.”
“Well then…” the pimp prompted, his hand motioning towards the door and a smile spreading across his face. It scared Aoi. The way the man’s lips twisted up, his skin stretching to show the cracks in his makeup gave him a ghastly appearance. Aoi felt like he was about to make a deal with the devil...
