24時 暗い箱の中で

落とした影が息を吐く

もう二度と戻らないと知って

幼い頃の淡い記憶を辿った

夢に見たことひとつ重ねて

月の光はあなたに届かない届かない

夢に見たことひとつ忘れて

外せない仮面のまま

踊り続けるの ただ

夢に見たことひとつ忘れて

外せない仮面のまま

踊り続けるの ただ

どうしても譲れないものがあって

強さだと信じていたのに

もう一度戻りたいと願い

ざわめく街は降り注ぐ陽で満ちた

時計の針をひとつ戻して

月の光はあなたに照らされて目が覚めて

夢に見たことひとつ叶えて

投げ捨てた仮面の上

踊り続けるの ただ

夢に見たことひとつ叶えて

投げ捨てた仮面の上

踊り続けるの ただ

午前5時 暗い箱の中に

光が差した

Nijuuyon-ji kurai hako no naka de

Otoshita kage ga iki wo haku

Mou nidoto modoranai to shitte

Osanai koro no awai kioku wo tadotta

Yume ni mita koto hitotsu kasanete

Tsuki no hikari wa anata ni todokanai todokanai

Yume ni mita koto hitotsu wasurete

Hazusenai kamen no mama

Odoritsuzukeru no tada

Yume ni mita koto hitotsu wasurete

Hazusenai kamen no mama

Odoritsuzukeru no tada

Doushitemo yuzurenai mono ga atte

Tsuyosa da to shinjite ita no ni

Mouichido modoritai to negai

Zawameku machi wa furisosogu hi de michita

Tokei no hari wo hitotsu modoshite

Tsuki no hikari wa anata ni terasarete me ga samete

Yume ni mita koto hitotsu kanaete

Nagesuteta kamen no ue

Odoritsuzukeru no tada

Yume ni mita koto hitotsu kanaete

Nagesuteta kamen no ue

Odoritsuzukeru no tada

Gozen go-ji kurai hako no naka ni

Hikari ga sashita

At midnight, inside a dark box

The shadow takes a rest

Knowing that it'll never return

I followed faint memories from my childhood

I dreamt about one thing again and again

The moonlight can't reach you, it can't reach you

I forgot about one thing I dreamt about

With a mask I can't take off

I'll just keep dancing

I forgot about one thing I dreamt about

With a mask I can't take off

I'll just keep dancing

There are some things I just can't give up

I used to believe that was a strength

I wish to return once more

To that bustling city, filled with sunshine pouring down on us

Turn back the clock by one

You wake up as the moonlight shines on you

One thing I dreamt of that came true

On the mask I threw away

I'll just keep dancing

One thing I dreamt of that came true

On the mask I threw away

I'll just keep dancing

At 5am, into a dark box

A light shone through

暗い箱の中

ここには何もない

だれかのぬくもりも

幼い頃の思い出も

ただ冷たく虚しい晦冥

時計の針はもう戻らない

強さだと信じていたものは

私に仮面をかぶせて

月の光が届かないほどの雨の境界線は

君を遠ざけた

時計の針を戻すことが許されるならば

この暗い箱に差し込む

かすかな君の光に手を伸ばし

仮面を脱ぎ捨てて、ただ踊り続けたい

## Trivia

* Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (月読命) is the moon god of Shinto. Though nowadays Tsukuyomi is said to be male, in ancient chronicles such as Kojiki, their gender is not mentioned. Tsukuyomi is the younger sibling of Amaterasu-Ōmikami (天照大御神), the sun goddess, and the older sibling of Susanoo-no-Mikoto (須佐之男命).
* The song ends with the lyrics about sunlight shining into a dark room at 5:00 AM and the actual time the sun rises in Tokyo at 5:00 AM is around August 15 or April 22. The tournament in the novel where Mitsuki and Reina fight and make up took place in July, and the closest sunrise time to 5 a.m. in July is 4:48 a.m. on the 31st.
