My internet connection was acting screwy last week and YouTube uploads kept failing. Day 1 of Cosfest VI‘s highlight was an anime karaoke competition. As usual Rika and Mizuki rocked. YouTube videos of their performances embedded after the jump.

Rika performed “Danzai no Hana” from Claymore.
Mizuki performed “Inori” from Romeo x Juliet

Sadly they didn’t win. I don’t remember the name of the winner, but she performed a song from DN Angel that was neither the OP nor the ED. I thought she sang very well too, but the song was meh.

I have been listening to Danzai no Hana for the past few days. It is the ED theme to CLAYMORE. A really awesome song for a really awesome show. I think it’s a really apt song for Clare the lonely heroine. I am tempted to order the CD from Amazon

[audio:danzai_no_hana.mp3]

The English lyrics below are translated by me from the Japanese lyrics and not taken from the English version of the song that is included as track 3 on the single. The official English lyrics are heavily modified in order to fit the rhythm of the song.

Read on for the lyrics.

Danzai no Hana ~Guilty Sky~
Kosaka Riyu

KOKORO… mada ANATA no KIOKU no naka de

Convicted Flower ~Guilty Sky~
Riyu Kosaka

My heart… is still locked in your memories.
My body… I search for one for I have none.
Today I will once again see someone somewhere shed tears,
And again it’s my destiny to return nothing but a cold smile.

As I hold on to this fate that cannot be abandoned,
I am standing here right now.

Like an eternally-blooming flower’s beauty,
The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart.
The clouds are torn into pieces in the guilty sky,
I embraced tightly the neverending remorse.

Every “pain” has a “beginning” somewhere,
And an “ending” that surely awaits.
The warmth I felt in you on that day too,
It faded away quietly till my hands felt empty.

Only the sounds of lost hope seem to increase,
I threw away everything to be here now.

Like an eternally-blooming flower’s beauty,
The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart.
The dying love, the cruel dream,
I embraced tightly the neverending remorse.

This world,
It needs a solitude
Called “truth”.

Your shadow,
Your dreams,
I was chasing after them…

As I hold on to this fate that cannot be abandoned,
I am standing here right now.

Like an eternally-blooming flower’s beauty,
The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart.
The clouds are torn into pieces in the guilty sky,
I embraced tightly the neverending remorse.

Wish for the future…
And continue dancing… For ever…

断罪の花~Guilty Sky~
小坂りゆ

ココロ…まだアナタのキヲクの中で
カラダ…探してる足りないワタシを
今日も何処かで誰かの流す涙
冷たく笑う運命を生きていく事

なくせないもの握りしめながら
ワタシは今もここにいるの

枯れない花は美しくて
ゆるぎない思いを胸に咲き続けた
ちぎれた雲の断罪の空
止まらない哀しみを抱き締めていた

どんな“痛み”にも『始まり』はあって
いつか訪れる『終わり』を待ってる
あの日アナタに感じた温もりも
気付けば手が透けるぐらい色褪せてた

失っていく音ばかり増えて
全てを捨ててここにいるの

枯れない花は美しくて
ゆるぎない思いを胸に咲き続けた
ちぎれゆく愛 残酷な夢
止まらない哀しみを抱き締めていた

この世界は
真実という
孤独を必要とした

アナタの影
アナタの夢
追いかけてた…

なくせないもの握りしめながら
ワタシは今もここにいるの

枯れない花は美しくて
ゆるぎない思いを胸に咲き続けた
ちぎれた雲の断罪の空
止まらない哀しみを抱き締めていた

未来、求めて…
踊りつづけて…永遠に…
