(Man  Lady Plain- Both of them or the narrator)

The powdery snow, slowly sways down,
Sheathing the mountains in soft, pure white.
The two inside a run-down house in a barren village,
Huddle together in the cold winter night.

"It has also been snowing on the day we met,"
You murmured with a smile,
And I'd hidden my face, flushed from each cheek,
Within the shadow of your large sleeve.

With a breath of joy,
I sang a spring's arrival along with the chirping birds.

"Your voice is beautiful," you told me,
Just those words, and those alone, made me so happy!

"If someday, I no longer had this beautiful voice,
Would you still, even then, love me?"

"Of course," you said, softly smiling,
As your large hand, gently stroked my cheek.


"A crane... snared in this weather?
Wait I will set you free"

And it flew ever so elegantly.

One hot summer afternoon,
You coughed blood and collapsed...
Our poor married life,
Couldn't afford it's cure...

The next day came by, along with the following,
I did nothing else, but purposely weave...
I wouldn't let your life,
Fall like the fleeting autumn leaves!

The seasons flow by,
And the bell crickets shriek.
The end of summer is marked by their cries.


"Your fingers are beautiful," you told me,
Delicately clutching my wound-covered hands...
But yours were much too cold!

"If someday, I no longer had these beautiful fingers,
Would you still, even then, love me?"

"Of course," you said, coughing,
As your large hands caressed my aching fingers.

Day and night, don't stop weaving...

~~Ah, the sunset's cool breeze~~
Hurry,hurry, I need to buy medicine...
~~Sways the sluggishly decaying fruit's scent~~
Just a bit more, only a bit more; before the autumn leaves fall...
~~Until it goes out~~
Until these fingers can't move... Until these feathers are all used up!!!

"If someday, I were no longer a human,
Would you still love me?"
The truth I feared left untold,
I softly pluck the final feather alone...


"Of course," I say, warmly smiling,
I promised I'd embrace you, even if you've lost your wings!
And that crane which had beautifully taken flight that day...
I've always remembered, and never forgotten, even now!


And just like always, I love you
Thanks to Shikiori no Hane Tsuru no Ongaeshi and the people behind them! Peace!

(Emperor  Kaguya  Plain-Can be the messengers or both Emperor and Kaguya)

I don't know exactly why...
But I have fallen in love with you!
This love will persist for a thousand years...
My heart dances and sings odes of joy!

'Sigh' Many men have tried to captivate me,
Please tell me exactly why,
The emperor has called for me.

It's needless to say why...
But I have fallen for you!
I shall not be swayed..
So let me take your hand!

I cross the fate and meridian, sleep is taken from me.
I cross the end of utopia, For no other reason!
You are so slim and elegant against the moon...
Selfish little princess,You are so charming!

'Phew' That was long, hope everyone is o-...
They're gone!? All that's left is this Japanese candy...
How humiliating... I'm depressed but please accept this candy!

A Japanese sweet bread!? I have to taste it!?
Impossib-... Oh what wonderful flavor!

I don't know exactly why but I've fallen for you!
You are the most clever, most beautiful, most talented...
So I'll give you a big treat. Four elements!

'Aahh' I can't sleep because of that bread...
Huh!? Sweet bean bread!?
Surely... This feeling!

Well well, the result went well, just as planned...
I'll do this and that to Kaguya...  Oh Emperor!
                              (Just her delusion)

I burn this elixir of life and smell it.
My heart is full of you... What should I do?
I'll tell you now straight out...
Do you want to marry me?

I cross the heaven, earth and a loop line. Sleep is taken from me.
I dive into this storm from a boring, false freedom!

"You cannot princess!" "You must return to the moon!"
"You do not belong here!"

I am so slim and elegant against the moon...
I am sorry but I am not your lady...

"Return now!!!" Don't wanna!
                       (The two ran away)

It's so ridiculous to search for a freedom that's been in front of me...
It's just like a bird that jumps into another cage to be captured.

I know that it's a cliché conflict
But now I'm all serious about you with whole my soul.
I'm serious...

I finally cross the fate and meridian, sleep is taken from me...
I cross the end of utopia, For no other reason!
You are so slim and elegant against the moon...
You are so noble... To you no other can compare
Selfish little princess, You are so charming!
credits to Kaguya-hime, taketori overnight sensation and all the people behind these... Peace!

Love magazines, Love reference guides,
Since I can't get,
Anywhere with you...
Might as well read them.

The sky is flushed  with the scent of winter,
I'm pretty sure my desire to be with you,
Is the fault of the season.

I didn't even ask for this...
Gah! Life can be so unkind!
Suddenly remembering the night,
Where stars filled the sky...

I won't be fooled by this!
Love you? No!
There's no reason to say it right?
None at all!

Share the load already! This love's freaking heavy!
Too heavy to keep bearing it all alone!
Let's also take half and half of these feelings that make my heart race...
Just anybody else won't do!

I want to become more than just friends!
Whether you push or pull, I won't be swayed!
Supposing, you were to fall in love with me...
Even if it's an exception, the answer should be easy! Right?

This "Love" really is a sickness!

My love schemes don't go well,
Having started to make these kind of efforts...
It's really startling for me, right?

Under the fall sky,
When a girl's heart comes to change,
If I don't look back to the seat over my shoulder,
I'll end up regretting it...

When I hear you getting praised by someone,
I selfishly feel happy about it but,
As for that "someone"...
If it's a girl then there'll be some mixed feelings!

Share the load already! This love's bitter on my own!
It's all so bitter, I can't drink it down!
Let's take half and half of the pain in my heart as well...
There's no effective drug against this ache!

Love and like, I want to make off with those two words!
Not really hoping for anything special beyond that...
Suppose you fell head over heels for me starting today...
Come one! Sometimes you need your imagination run wild! Ok?

This "Love" really is a sickness!

I've heard one-sided crushes are "fun" but,
That's just a lie! It's just full of ache and tears!
But when I realized, that this was love,
I felt overjoyed...

Share the load already.. This love's freaking heavy...
Too heavy to keep bearing it all alone...
Let's also take half and half of these feelings that make my heart race...
If it's not something special then... It's won't do!

I want to become more than just friends!
Whether you push or pull, I won't be swayed!
Suppose you start to love me more than anyone else in the world?
I'll show you that I can be your dream girl!

This "Love" really is a sickness!
special thanks to Byoumei koi wazurai and descentsubs! Peace!

"A chat about who people like?"
It's not something like that!
But actually I'm interested, and want to hear about it,
It  sets my heart fluttering!

The reason is really simple,
I'm plagued by this awkward shyness,
So I'll just be watching from behind.

Though surely I've been kindled with the idea of love,
I actually haven't fallen in love with anyone yet.
Just having fun with my friends, A "bachelorette"(lol)
Who just smiles and dodges the question...

It's totally fine like this! 'Thud'

Falling in love and stuff, when it happens to someone,
Naturally that envious, jealous feeling rises up.
Teach me the charm, that will set love in motion!
I must look like a huge dummy...

"Eh? a soccer ball?"
"Hey what's that? It looks fun!"
"It's just what guys do right?"
We burst out in laughter.

Saying "Good morning, you got some bed hair."
That boy from my class, I'm totally shocked!
It was the first time he talked to me,
And it's just so embarrassing!

With my everyday being a bit boring,
Having milk, the two stars and a supernova,
They were having a dream.

Suppose one day if I started going out with someone,
It'd be nice walking home hand in hand...
"It's a somewhat embarrassing dream..."
"I know..." Just talking to myself,
Someday, surely...

Being jealous, being made to feel that way,
All girls experience stuff like that.
These totally normal kinds of emotions,

I'll surely have them too...

"I have something I want to tell you,"
"Later after school, at 4:10 pm in this classroom right here."
Glancing at me during just our second conversation,
Why won't my heart stop beating like crazy?

I can't look at him!

You know, just supposing, if this was a confession...
I'm all stuck thinking,
About what I should say.

If that kind of thing is said...

Aahh...
"I'm just so nervous!"
Special thanks to Yakimochi no Kotae another story and Honeyworks
Peace!

A chat about who you like?
That's something I don't wanna hear!
But secretly I'm glued to your every word,
It's just so frustrating!

"What's wrong?"   "Nothing"

I know the reason why I'm this uneasy,
And it just doesn't stop bothering me...

Please forgive the fact that I've fallen for you,
But as for the courage to tell you,
I just don't have it,
Since the only thing's true,
Are these feelings...

Sorry but... 'Thud'

I can't cheer for you! Hope it doesn't go well!
The worst thing, you could wish for someone else,
Like this I'm cheering so badly,
With this terrible personality...

"This is bad, we gotta get you to the nurse's office!"
"Sniffle, Sniffle"
"Man your nose is bleeding!? Are you ok!?"
"You're crying... it was a nice play!"
"That's not... I just said, I'm not cr... 'sob' "
"Come on, don't cry just cause you made a face-block!"
"I'm not crying at all... STOP THAT!"
I shout while they carry me in a weird way.

"Good morning! You got some bed hair you know?"
T'was the first thing I was able to say,
Hiding your flustered face you said, "It's a secret!"

Gah, saying it like that is unfair!
My everyday seemed to be floating in air!
The two stars form a supernova,
The world is so lively!

I'm a **** who hopes that the person you like,
Already loves someone else.
"It's hopeless isn't it?" "I know right?"
"I know..." Just talking to myself,
This isn't good, not one bit!

Being jealous, I'm down on my knees,
This intense feeling just won't let me be at ease.
I wanna talk to you...
I'm gonna look for you...

I want to have you for myself!

"I have something I want to tell you,"
"Later after school, at 4:10 pm in this classroom right here."
The beating of my heart just won't stop ringing
Trying to endure a bit like this...

You nodded...

You know, if ever, you would go out with me,
I'd show you that I could,
Make you smile every single day.

A good luck charm said,
Five minutes before the deed.

Here I go...
"would you have me?"

(Legend: Girl-Italics    Boy-Bold)

As the hot summer wind blows past her face,
There's this warm feeling slowly and gradually churning,
Building and showing no end,
Is this like? Is this hate?

Do I like or hate you? I don't know,
Prob'ly hate.
It's love, can't be anything else,
I love you!

I can't tell if it's love or hate,
I won't stop
Love or Hate?

I can't get his words out of my head!
Love or hate? somewhere in between?
Rather it's closer to both.

Isn't the answer obvious?
Yes, my vision is perfect,
You and me can make a family. Eh!? Family!?

But wait, what, why, how? I'm only fourteen!?
These dating stuff and lov- I love you! Listen to me!
I can't drop my guard.
I'll drown you with love!

I want to try falling in love,
Lightly, softly, like a ball of fur.
While everything's boring around me.
I'll smile.

The two stars will combine and form... A Supernova!
And the world will spring alive!

Is this love? or is it hate?
I don't know...
I hate you, or maybe I love you?

Here! Eh!?

It's a Topaz! The one you wanted on the way home.
While you were staring at it I was watching you,
Our houses are on opposite ends, but let's not worry about that.

But I don't really like his type but...
Eh? did I just hesitate?
It must be because he suddenly did something nice.
I start to feel this sudden warmth.

But even if I try so hard to think it through,
There's no doubt about it, About what?
I love you!
Just trust me on this, there's no problem.

See?

You lit up a softly swaying fire within me, She's watching me!
It's burning me up and getting me high, Pyromania!
I'm in love with you!
I sing proudly while playing my guitar

Oh no, What's this feeling?
The kindness and sweetness I learned.
At times you may be a bit absurd, but...
Your love is pulling me in.

I want to fall in love with you,
Shining, sparkling like glitter.
By loving it, placing it out and nurturing it,
It will start to develop!

Our encounter,
And at the same time,
Our Love,
Weaves us together.

If only I hated you,
I won't feel this warmth.
But now it's different,
Since we're both in love!

Now I know whether I like or hate you,
I like you.
You love me, can't be anything else,
I love you.

This hot throbbing in my chest,
You know what it is!
Love or hate?
credits to Suki Kirai and Souma!
This is actually my first time presenting something under this genre so please bear with me.

I saw you standing there,
Hair flowing in the meadows,
Eyes shining under the night sky,
I heard your voice singing softly like a siren.

I saw that majestic smile ,
Glowing brightly, filled with enthusiasm,
Envious and appealing,
I feel the warmth of your fingers.

You showed me that adorable pout,
Cute but deadly lips,
I remember our promise,
That I be only yours and You be only mine.

But all of those are just phantasies.
Fables of what we could have been.

I didn't see you but your image was embedded,
So deep in my thoughts that I could never forget it,
For you were torn from me before that unfinished promise,
And to chase after you I could not for I had no strength, no courage.

And even though our bonds are reinfused,
I fear that these feelings are no longer of use.

For you might be showing that smile to someone else,
And I left grieving, Oh God pray tell.
