Vocal: Akatsuki Rin (暁月凛)
Producer: Last Note.

Listen: youtube (subbed), Nico Nico Douga

I subbed this video, but youtube blocked it in numerous countries, so here you go. Here are the lyrics. I personally prefer the version by Tsukinowa (月葉), which you can listen to here.

Kanji//

急に眠るのが好きになった　全てが夢なら良かったのに
目を閉ざしている間だけ戻れる　懐かしい故郷(ふるさと)

“良く喋る”なんてステータスは　嘘みたく消えてなくなってた
これじゃダメだ　涙拭かなきゃ　前を向いて歩き出すんだ

笑おう　笑顔が唯一　私の知っている共通言語
それだけで不思議と　すぐに順応できる魔法で

最初の一歩だけは　勇気が必要で重いけれど
踏み出すことができたらもう平気さ　進もう
全てを閉ざしたまま　探り探り歩き……ねぇ、どうして？
光の傍にいたはずなのにずっと　暗い場所でひとりぼっち
もっと沢山の歌詞は

使い間違えた魔法は解け　開きかけていた扉壊す
怖くなった　言葉はもうわかるよ
でもね、上手く笑えない

自分の事だけ避けて　光が射しているように思えた　ずっと陰でぽつり
まるで空気みたく生きてた

そんな弱さまで全部　個性と言ってくれる人ができて
でも朗らかに笑う他の子と　自分比べる
魔法なんてない事　とっくにわかってるのに、どうして？
閉ざされていた扉の鍵はずっと　ポケットの中入ってる

「……すき」


English//

I suddenly started to enjoy sleeping
I thought it would be better if everything were a dream
At least as long as I have my eyes closed,
I can go back to my nostalgic hometown

My trait of being "talkative"
Vanished as if it were just a lie
This is pointless
I have to wipe away my tears
And keep walking forward

Laughing and having a smile
That's my common language
With just that much, it's a kind of mysterious and easy-to-learn magic spell

Taking the first step requires courage, even if it's difficult
If I'm able to step forward, I'll be alright - I'll keep going
Everything is closed off, so I keep exploring-...
Hey, why is it like this?
The light was supposed to always be right here with me
But I'm alone in a dark place

I broke the spell that had been incorrectly cast
And I destroyed the door that was opening
I was scared. I already knew the words to say,
But, you see, I still wasn't able to smile

I was the only one who was avoided
I thought it was like there was a spotlight on me
I was always alone in the shadows,
Living life like I was thinner than air

They say that such weaknesses are what give people their personality
But I can't help but compare myself to the others who smile cheerfully
I already know quite well that there's no such thing as magic, so then why?
The key to unlock the closed door was always right there in my pocket

"...I like you."
