FINALLY! KAGEROU PROJECT CONTENT IS BACK!
This took way too long to make lol. I had to resort to coming up with translyrics while riding the bus, and this was the first time I tried to break up my recordings into sections. That way if I messed up a part, I didn't do have to redo the whole song. This was a neat but terrible idea.
All the parts had to be synced and recorded perfectly, and that just wasn't happening. I ended up recording twice as long as I normally have to, and I'm busy! In the end, I just did it all in one go like I normally do.

Anyway, here's my official tribute to Tsubomi Kido, because boi my Mekakushi Code cover from 2 years ago SUCKED. Regardless, we love Kido, we love our big sis, we love our danchou-san, and we love our precious little flower. Can you tell I love Kido?

Anyway, till next time! I got a whole bunch of projects and no time to work on them, so see yall when I have time lol

Lyrics:
Reflecting back all that I am
A pitiful person and a sham
My mirror greets me every morning with this sight

Fixing my smile and my hair
No matter what, life doesn’t care
I’m still stuck as someone they truly hate
Being me's like a crime


There’s many things I want to say
And yet I keep them locked away
Cause if I voiced them,
nobody would answer back

Eyes on the floor, please just ignore
This quiet girl can say no more
Ghosting all those around me with the words
That I lack

All the nature around me living so carefree
Liked for what they are, they filled me with envy
Sure to be loved more than I could ever be
I wonder if we’d be better off
Without me here
bothering you at all

Trapped in a world that will never understand me
Standing outside the cage of ordinary
Helpless and silent, always in the wrong
Wonder if I'll find a place where I belong

"I just don't get this girl" the feeling is mutual
Repeating my mistakes; everyday's so cruel
Feels like I've lost before I even began
This dying flower's just the person that I am

Feeling scared again; the normal's become strange
Second nature now just to run, run away
Hating how it's hopeless; I can never change
So why speak up anyway?


Some people's laughter bloom like trees
Their joy sheltering those in grief
Exchanging beautiful flowers through their speech

And then, my reflection turns to me
Knowing they're people I can't be
Ghosting any hope I had with our words
"I'm sorry"

All the nature around me living perfectly
I can only watch, they filled me with envy
I can't do anything for anyone I see
I know that they’d be way better off
Without me here
bothering them at all

I just can't hold back all my bottled emotions
It'd be so blissful if they were out in the open
Instead they stay inside so no one will know
It's not like anyone wants this girl to grow

But then suddenly, a voice reaches out to me
"You're fine just as you are; I'll love you thoroughly"
A phrase foreign to me, don't know what to say
Those magic words drove all my worries away

"There's no need to fear if you'll still be ok
All those things inside, you can say, you can say"
Thoughts still came out wrong, so I could only cry
"I'm just an idiot right?


All the nature around me was soon painted bright
A future I could watch welcoming you and I
And as time raveles on, I'll continue loving life
And even through all of the change,
This part of me
I will still love the same; it’s me anyway

And in a world where we are ever evolving
And as time passes, memories are dissolving
So that my favorite words won't fade when I'm gone,
I give them to you, so they will live on

And as our days feel slow yet even more rapid,
I know I'll find someone to love and to laugh with
These thoughts of happy days will stay on my mind
Because I know we'll find our purposes in life

Fixing up my hair, I can smile with pride
At the me I'm now, blooming flower inside
With my head held high and with nothing to hide,
My mirror greets me with this sight
