Gentle Ghost Story

Gentle Ghost Story  (やさしいおばけ話) is the 8th uploaded video of the project. This video features and introduces B-ka. It was released first sung by IA in the Shuuen -Re:mind- album and then by B-ka's voice actor, Emiri Katou, in the Shuuen -Re:act- album.
==Background==
This video both features and introduces the character B-ka. It is his first appearance in a video.
In the PV (music video) for "Gentle Ghost Story", B-ka befriends a "ghost", who he appears to care deeply for (seemingly, even to a point of "love"). The music video shows him eventually finding the rest of the Film Club in their classroom, so he can "introduce" himself to them. At the end of the video, the "ghost" appears to vanish.
However, the "ghost" also appears to leave behind a light pink ribbon for B-ka.
==Trivia==
*The light pink ribbon left behind for B-ka was later seen tied into a ribbon on the ghosts' "tail" at the end of the PV, in the art only.
*This song features a much more upbeat, positive tone than some previous, "darker" videos.
**Despite this, it also carries tinges of sadness in the lyrics.

English=
I've always been too timid, I'm just a coward
I've always wanted to change someday
but when push comes to shove, I freeze up
and out pour my tears
My head's spinning as I think of how I can change
I've got to get myself together!
Let's start simple and try a morning greeting
But my strained voice was drowned out
You appeared one night, amidst my sighs
and talked to me, despite my hopelessness
Skipping forward at two in the morning
It's a secret walk, for just the two of us
Embarrassed at my suddenly excited voice
I stare at my feet
It's a happy exchanging of secrets
Hey, why are you so kind?
You're a dear friend to me
but I could never say that out loud
I've always been too timid but let's forget that
I honestly think "I'm fine with this"
But you look so lonely "Won't you tell me why?"
But my words fall short
Before I knew it, it was just the two of us; everything else spinning madly
But we're having fun now, so nothing else matters.
"This time, let's go somewhere far away!" Let's walk together
In these blissful days - How wonderful
I pretend not to hear the sound of people having fun outside
It doesn't really matter, because I have one too, you know?
A friend
Skipping forward at two in the morning
In our own little world
Let's go on an adventure, just the two of us
"Where shall we go today?"
It's a happy exchanging of secrets
Hey, I'm really having fun
At those words I so casually said
you began to cry...
It was always just me alone and then it was just the two of us
I finally understand; I'll do my best next time
Skipping forward straight on forward
I'll muster up my courage and greet them out loud
Sure enough, everyone
responded to my small voice
A large exchanging of secrets
Hey, I managed to do my best
thanks to the good luck charm you gave me
My words won't reach you anymore, but
someday, I'll be able to tell you...https://amesubs.tumblr.com/post/127158629673

いつも何かにおびえてた　意気地なしのボク
いつかは変わりたいずっと思ってた
だけどいざと言う時でも体が動かずぽつりと零れた涙
　	　
どうすれば変われるんだろう　頭がグルグル
もういい加減にしてよ　自分
まずは出来ることからしよ　毎日挨拶
振り絞った声埋もれ
　	　
また溜息をついていた夜にキミが現れてさ
どうしようもないこんなボクと話してくれた
　	　
スキップですすもう　夜中二時
ふたりだけのヒソヒソお散歩
そんな時ばかりが弾む声が少し恥ずかしくて俯いた
　	　
小さな幸せ内緒話
ねえ　どうして優しいのか
キミは大事な友達なんて
きっと言えないんだ
　	　
いつも何かに怯えてた　そんなこと忘れ
「このままでいいや」なんて思ってた
だけどキミは寂しい顔　どうして教えて？
ボクの言葉は届かず
　	　
いつの間にかふたりぼっち　周りをグルグル
今が楽しいから関係ないや　「そうだ今度は遠くに行こう」
一緒に歩こう　毎日ウキウキ　素敵
　	　
窓の外から楽しげな声　聞こえないフリをした
別に良いんだ　ボクにも居るんだよ？
ともだち
　	　
スキップですすもう　夜中二時
誰もいない僕らだけの国
二人だけの小さな冒険　「今日はどこに行こうか」なんてさ
　	　
小さな幸せ内緒話
ねえ本当に楽しいよ
自然と言えたその一言でキミは泣いてた
　	　
ずっとひとりぼっち　キミとふたりぼっち
ボクは分かってるよ　今度は頑張れるよ
　	　
スキップですすもう　真っ直ぐに
勇気を出して挨拶しよう　小さなボクの声にみんなが
確かに返事してくれたんだ
　	　
大きな全身内緒話
ねえ　ボク頑張れたんだよ
キミがくれた大事なオマジナイ
もう届かないけれど　いつか伝えるから
