All right, with this I finish up the "Felice" album~ (Which means I can go back to my requests happily now)
(
Bouquet ~bijou no hanataba~)
- Fuyuumi and Amou do not get their own solos in this particular album, maybe because of a lack of disc space or whatever, so instead they get squashed together for a duet!
- Okay, I've seen this song's title romanized several different way, most popular of which seems to be "~hohoemi no hanataba~". THE PROBLEM WITH THIS is that without a "み" at the end of "微笑," it is technically pronounced "bijou," which still means "smile" and happens to have a romanized spelling similar to the French word meaning "jewel," which I find amusing~ So I will go with "bijou" until I am somehow proven wrong (like if anyone has the original booklet or scans of such and can check if there is a pronunciation located in tiny hiragana above the kanji).
- In each refrain, there is a snippet of English in the third line, followed immediately by the Japanese equivalent, which makes translating it all into English kind of awkward and redundant. Now you know why those lines seems so repetitive.

- Seems like an appropriate title for a Hihara song, don't you think~? It's very upbeat and cheerful!
- I was a little skeptical that he was actually meant to ask you/Kahoko out right off the bat, since from what I've seen in the anime and manga, he fumbles around an awful lot just by being around her, let alone try to ask her out (though that may be because KOEI based animes take "open" endings a little to the next level by scarcely hinting at any potential relationships, let alone confessions; I mean, you're lucky to get HUGGED by the guy you're dating in the games, so what did you expect? In truth, I think they do it this way because they don't want to disappoint the majority of the fandom by only choosing one guy, and because they like to release individual character endings to squeeze even more money out of fangirls like me). But I digress. Hihara's still adorable anyway~
(

- So Kanayan's actually going to do his JOB for once in this song and teach you something! Though it sounds like he's just spouting random phrases he thought sounded like they might be appropriate for the situation, but I still appreciate the thought~
- I gotta say, I'm usually fond of Kanayan's songs~ They're pleasant to listen to, but maybe I'm subconsciously a jazz fan.

- Tsukimori, you've done it again! This is by far my favorite song in the entire album~♥♥♥ It's absolutely gorgeous, and Kishou really sells it~♥ ^w^
- So, it turns out the lyrics are a lot more somber than I thought they'd be. I don't know what I expected them to be like, but still. Kinda like his and Kaji's duet, "Corona," except this one came out first, so I guess "Corona" is kinda like "Without End," maybe(?)
Well, that about does it for "Felice." I'll be good and go back to my ever-growing request list, but when I EVENTUALLY get the chance to come back to Corda (or when I make the chance~), the next album up will be "Gloria," which includes another one of my favorite group songs~ So until then--whenever it may be--enjoy!

Translation:
“I want to like myself,” saying something so wonderful,
Chasing after what you admire, so that one day it will come true
More than just seeing your dreams, chasing after them is much more fun!
It’s so cool how your eyes sparkle when you’re giving your all
When you play the sound you want to hear,
You become one step closer to the self you want to be
You can make friends everyday, my friends!
From a bud to a flower, it’s like they’re blooming
I wonder what kind of smiles we’ll ba able to see today?
So we’ll smile once again, smile once again
And we’ll keep doing our best!
Like a kitten sheltered from the rain that looked up and the sky and hoped
For the warmth of the sunlight, your tone gives me courage
When you convey it in your own special way,
It’ll even reach that far off someone!
I want to experience these feelings, my friends!
From a flower to you, connected to your heart,
I wonder what kind of me I’ll be able to meet?
So we’ll never cry again, never cry again
Tears are something forgotten from yesterday!
Let’s relax every now and then to draw out our strength
With tiny sweets and tea, we’ll chat
So we can forget the unpleasant things, my friends!
From a bud to a flower, it’s like they’re blooming
I wonder what kind of smiles we’ll be able to see today?
So we’ll smile once again, smile once again
Let’s try our best until our wishes come true
From a flower to you, connected to your heart,
I wonder what kind of tomorrow we’ll be able to meet
Try once again, surely we won’t give up
At any time!

From morning ‘til evening, it’s like a jack-in-the-box
All sorts of surprises keep popping up!
Too bad! What a mishap! But I have to hang in there
Will you go out with me after this?
Let’s climb up to the roof and touch the sky!
Let’s have fun! Let’s have fun together for this moment!
We’ll keep moving forward
With my left hand, I’ll find the courage in my heart to navigate to tomorrow
And then, see,
My right hand will open it for you!
Every day is kind of like an amusem*nt park
They’re packed with exciting thrills!
How do you feel? Are you okay? You seem kinda down
I want to cheer you up, I’ll give you a cheer!
No matter where you are, I’ll go searching for you in a single bound
Having fun’s the best! Without pausing for anyone, have faith!
With you and me,
Your hand firmly clasped in mine, let’s go walking anywhere
That’s right, I’m sure
Let’s make the time we spend more precious than anything else!
Let’s make this fun! We two will have fun with this time!
Looking up,
If we climb these steps, we can see even farther!
And so, someday
Our gaze will soar into the future!

Translation:
“This’ll be special just for today!”
That sweet face of yours takes on a wry smile
You want me to take you along the seaside, but
Looking into your eyes, I see only weakness, it’s true
That’s right, life is like a see-saw, after all
That’s right, though it’s my duty to teach you
Try! If you challenge yourself to think of something,
Try! It might turn out unexpectedly well
I want to believe in this seaside melody with you
”Don’t put your expectations on me!”
Though I try to put on a cold attitude, you see right through me
Ah, you’re in the prime of your youth, right?
Ah, though you’re old enough to say what you want
Make! You should try to do it just to do it
Make! It’s much better than regretting it later
This seaside magic will make you think that way, it’s so strange
That’s right, life is like a see-saw, after all
That’s right, though it’s my duty to teach you
Try! If you challenge yourself to think of something,
Try! It might turn out unexpectedly well
Make! You should try to do it just to do it
Make! It’s much better than regretting it later
Together, the two of us will make this seaside melody real

静かな朝が鈍色した 瞼かたく閉ざして
独り奏でる時間だけが とめどなく過ぎゆく
追うほどただ途は 与えながら奪う
呼び声はこだまする 虚空の彼方へと
仰ぎ聴く君の音に 包まれていたいと
想い重なる 淡い雪のように
水の面に立ち昇った 朝靄は流れる
覚めかけている 意識の底 旋律はたゆたう
鳴らすほどに弦は 歌いながら叫ぶ
近づけば遠ざかる 地平の彼方へと
その果てがあるのなら 其処に待つだろうか
君の微笑み あの音色と共に
ひらめくほど弓は 応えながら惑う
望むほど消えていく 無常の彼方へと
問いかける君の音に 心残しながら
つぶやいてみる Play a tender lullaby to me
Romanji:

Translation:
It was a quiet, dull-colored morning, my eyelids firmly shut,
As only the time when I play alone slips by incessantly
As long as I only follow this path, it will both give and take
My cries echo across the emptiness,
I want to be engulfed by your sound that I seek
These feelings pile up like the fleeting snow
Risen above the water’s surface, the morning mist drifts
Beginning to wake, deep within my consciousness, a melody wavers
As long as these strings sound, they will both sing and scream
The closer I draw, the further it seems across the horizon
If there is an end, they should be waiting there, right?
Your smile together with your sound
As long as my bow rises and falls, it will both answer and confound
The more I wish for it, the more it disappears beyond this uncertainty
To your questioning sound, as I save it in my heart,
I’ll try softly murmuring, “Play a tender lullaby to me”
