るるるる　るるる　るる

るるるる　るるる　るる

るるるる　るるる　る　るる

るるるるる　るるる　る

この海はこの空はあなたのために

誰にも教えずにただ隠していたの

この時はこの声はあなたのもとへ

ゆけ春風

晴れのち曇り晴れ

そのままずっと晴れ

教科書置いてきた

もう戻れない場所に

憂色の怖がりなわたしじゃなくて

負けない人ならば

あなたのためでした

気の利いた返事だけ出来ないあたま

みかげあたま

晴れのち曇り夢

そのままずっと夢

そばには黒い影

この海はこの空はあなたのドレス

夜空の星屑を散りばめては如何

袖ひとつ通せない小さなこころ

みかげこころ

一匙の幸せを閉じ込めていた

わたしは忘れても言葉は残るから

くたびれて色褪せたわたしの日記

みかげ日記

*English lyrics provided by Tick.*

La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la

This sea, this sky, they are all for you

Without telling anyone, I kept them hidden away for you

This time, this voice, let them reach you

Along with the spring breeze

After the sun, it’ll be cloudy, then sunny

Just like that, forever, it’ll stay sunny

I went to put my textbook away

In a place I can never return to

If only I wasn’t such a timid, melancholic person

If I could be a better person

It would have been all for you

A mind that can’t come up with a tactful response

Mikage’s mind

After the sun comes a cloudy dream

Just like that, forever dreaming

Next to me is a black shadow

This sea, this sky, they are your dress

May I adorn it with the night sky’s countless stars for you?

A soul, too small to reach its arms through its sleeves

Mikage’s soul

I locked away my single spoonful of happiness

Because even if I forget, these words will remain

My diary, battered and faded

Mikage’s diary

雨のち曇リ晴れ

優しくきっと晴れ

きらきら浮かぶ言葉

もう忘れちゃうけれど

この海はこの空はあなたのために

誰にも教えずにただ隠していたの

この時はこの声はあなたのもとへ

ゆけ春風

晴れのち曇り晴れ

そのままずっと晴れ

教科書置いてきた

もう戻れない場所に

憂色の怖がりなわたしじゃなくて

負けない人ならば

あなたのためでした

気の利いた返事だけ出来ないあたま

みかげあたま

晴れのち曇り夢

そのままずっと夢

そばには黒い影

この海はこの空はあなたのドレス

夜空の星屑を散りばめては如何

袖ひとつ通せない小さなこころ

みかげこころ

一匙の幸せを閉じ込めていた

わたしは忘れても言葉は残るから

After the rain, it’ll be cloudy, then sunny

Tenderly, certainly sunny

These sparkling words, floating in air

I think I’ll forget them soon, but…

This sea, this sky, they are all for you

Without telling anyone, I kept them hidden away for you

This time, this voice, let them reach you

Along with the spring breeze

After the sun, it’ll be cloudy, then sunny

Just like that, forever, it’ll stay sunny

I went to put my textbook away

In a place I can never return to

If only I wasn’t such a timid, melancholic person

If I could be a better person

It would have been all for you

A mind that can’t come up with a tactful response

Mikage’s mind

After the sun comes a cloudy dream

Just like that, forever dreaming

Next to me is a black shadow

This sea, this sky, they are your dress

May I adorn it with the night sky’s countless stars for you?

A soul, too small to reach its arms through its sleeves

Mikage’s soul

I locked away my single spoonful of happiness

Because even if I forget, these words will remain

My diary, battered and faded

* In Gen'ei Ap - Empty Heart, Spica reveals that Mikage Nikki is her favorite song. This is slightly concerning, as it implies that Envy Phantom exists in the Envy Phantom universe.
* The first verse of album version is different from single's first verse
