[Song/Lyrics] Egao No Wake

I seem to find it hard to resist good anime openings. Unlike FMA, despite knowing the background of Shounen Omnyouji I didn't quite get the lyrics at first glance. However, there's a powerful sense of loneliness and protectiveness in this song, conveyed wonderfully by Kaori Hikita.

Tozasareta kioku no naka no kizu ga
Oto mo naku kokoro ni fureru toki ni
Yasashiku hohoemu sono ura ni wa kodoku no namida

Hateshinai tsuyosa motomete
Shinjiru mono-tachi to nando mo kakeagare

Mamoritai shinjitai egao no wake o subete
Hageshisa mo itoshisa mo zenbu uketomeru yo
Nido to sono te o hanasanai ano hikari o mezashite

Omoiyaru tagai no mune kasanete
Yurushiai wakachiaeru omoi ni
Kawaranu you ni inoritsuzukeru chikai no kotoba

Osorenai kokoro motomete shinjiru yume kakage
Ryoute ni dakishimete

Aishitai kanjitai egao no wake o subete
Ari no mama kikasete yo kokoro no sakebi sae
Nido to kono me o sorasanai
Ano hikari o tomoshite

Hateshinai tsuyosa motomete
Shinjiru mono-tachi to nando mo kakeagare

Mamoritai shinjitai egao no wake o subete
Hageshisa mo itoshisa mo zenbu uketomeru yo
Aishitai kanjitai egao no wake o subete
Ari no mama kikasete yo kokoro no sakebi sae
Nido to sono te o hanasanai ano hikari o mezashite

[Copywriter's Chronicles] Heng Tai~ Hentai~

Ian: *to Spartacus* I thought we were heng tai (best friends).

Spartacus: We are. Just that she... *returns Shugo to me instead of passing him back to Ian, as promised*

Me: I heard it as hentai.

Spartacus: Oh we are hentai too.

Ian: Yeah, we're perverts too.

Well, at least they're honest!

Edit: The last line was said by Spartacus, not Ian. :3
