iroase zawameku hareta aru hi no gogo
kotoba wo nakushita shounen wa waratta

michiyuku tsuki no you ni naku ARIA

kizutsuki tsumazuku tooi ginga no saki
kowarete nageita bokutachi wa deaeta

tsukamitai mono nigiri hashire
toki wa yuuchou ni matanai
“tobira” kowareru made tataki, shinjita michi no hate kakeagare

nanika nakushite nanika kanshinde kono basho ni atsumatta
namonaki hoshi yo tada, ima dake wa asahi wo tomo ni matou
kaze ni maichire kanashimi no uta (maichireba, hana wa saku)
ikusen no yoru wo tomo ni, futari kanadeyou
bokura dake no kotoba de

jidai wa nagarete katachi ga kawarou to mo
kokoro wa koushite itsumo soba ni aru yo

kuuhaku wa ima irodori wo shiru efude wa hashiridasu

English Translation 》

Grace

A certain sunny afternoon that was noisy, dull in colour
A boy who had lost his words smiled

At an aria that weeps, waxing like the moon

We stumble, hurt, at the edge of a distant galaxy
Broken and grieving, we met

Grasp at, run for the thing you want to catch hold of
Time won’t slowly wait
Knock on the “door” till you break it,
And to the ends of the path you believed in, dash up and away

Having lost something, being sad about something, at this place, we gathered
Star without a name, only just for now, let’s wait together for the morning sun
Fall into a dance through the wind, song of sorrow
(when falling and dancing, flowers will bloom)
For thousands of nights, let’s play music together, us two
With a word that is ours alone

Eras flow, even were their shapes to alter
And like this, my heart is always at your side
Let’s pray for an irreplaceable tomorrow—
Though people make mistakes, no one can disavow you
Transform daydream to reality, and make of the future a collage

Within the brilliance rings out a constellation,
Rings out, at present, the meaning of living
And now the void is conscious of colour; a paintbrush begins to run
Fall into a dance through the wind, song of sorrow
(when falling and dancing, flowers will bloom)
For thousands of nights, let’s play music together, us two,
Hold close the story for eternity
Once more, snow falls, dyeing all unto the horizon in white—
The heavens, profound, swallow us down

――Blessing of Life
――Eternal Galaxies
――White Reverberation
――Parade to the Future
Graced the beautiful name
(And I sing)Buzz love song

So that the melody to the future doesn’t come to an end
Let’s draw the curtain closed with a smile

Barefoot, we ran the distance of a lightyear
(The joint reverberations of lightyears—universal gravitation)
Surely, we’ll be able to meet again
Star without a name, only just for now, let’s wait together for the morning sun
Fall into a dance through the wind, song of sorrow
(when falling and dancing, flowers will bloom)
For thousands of nights, let’s play music together, us two
Until dawn comes

We make of the path we’ve walked a story;
In order for meaning to continue “eternally”
I ignite the life of this moment—
At the end of the world
Let’s meet once more

Behind the Scenes

Back toward the start of the pandemic, Saga tweeted a small clip of a song he was working on, remarking that it was meant neither for the album they were gearing up to release at the time (NIGHTLESS CITY EDEN), nor for ALICE NINE. itself. Unintentionally, this beautiful song became the Grace we know today.
