Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

雨のむこうに街が煙って
赤や黄のパラソル涙に濡れて
12色の色鉛筆でスケッチされたお前の顔
ねえ もうやめようよ こんな淋しい話
お前の暗い瞳の中に
青褪めた街 深く沈んで
ねえ もうやめようよ こんな淋しい話
雨のむこうに街が煙って
赤や黄のパラソル涙に濡れて
12色の色鉛筆でスケッチされたお前の顔
ねえ もうやめようよ こんな淋しい話
お前の暗い瞳の中に




青褪めた街 深く沈んで
ねえ もうやめようよ こんな淋しい話

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 小坂忠's song 氷雨月のスケッチ, which translates to "Sketch of the Ice Rain Moon," paints a picture of a lonely and rainy town. The song opens with the line, "The city beyond the rain is smoking," creating a vivid image of a misty and gray environment. The chorus, "Your face was sketched with 12 colored pencils," further highlights the imagery and the melancholic mood, while the repetition of the line, "Let's stop this lonely story," conveys a sense of resignation and a desire to escape from the sadness.


The second verse reinforces the theme of loneliness, describing the city that has faded to blue in the dark eyes of the person being addressed. This line, "The city that has faded to blue in your dark eyes," suggests that the city's sadness has deeply affected the person. The chorus is repeated, indicating that the singer is trying to convince the other person to move on from the sadness and leave behind the painful memories.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the emotional impact of the environment and the way the city can shape a person's perspective. The song's repetitive structure and simple language allow the listener to more easily relate to the experience of feeling trapped in a melancholic landscape.

One of my favorites in the album! Is it Minako on the female backup?

EDIT: It really is Minako Yoshida-san.
