It also makes me think of that old song Dear You from Higurashi… I think a lot of us are starting to feel sentimental for the lost days of our youth. Anyway, translating a random song on a whim because it made me burst into tears on Sunday night definitely wasn’t on my bingo card 😐 Not to bear my soul in the middle of a youtube summary, but I remember when I was in my first year of college, I [in a fit of despair] thought to myself that my biggest fear was losing my ability to dream. I wanted to hold on to my imagination, no matter how childish it was, and I never wanted the ‘outside world’ to take it away from me. To me, this song really captures that feeling of sending off your “dreams within reality”, and hoping they'll someday come back. And then of course hearing that familiar line from 現夢 was like someone dunked me in ice water, after that I basically dropped everything to start working on a translation. This one is chock full of GET IN THE RING/TUMENECO motifs, the most striking of which is of course the iconic line from 現夢/genmu, one of my all-time favs which I adore with all my heart (and the accompanying short story). Credit to the referenced line from genmu; “Even now, I still dream a dream I will not wake from” goes to my biggest inspiration, the absolute genius kafka-fuura: https://kafkafuura.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/genmu/. -------------- I do not own this music.
