2. 彩音(Ayane) was a Saitama-based visual-kei band active from 2003-2007. The band was made up of two members: Yuu on vocals and Tatsuki on keytar. Most of their music up until 2006 was very upbeat synth-pop/rock, but took a slightly more mellow tone after Tatsuki left and was replaced by the support guitarist, K.
Throughout their career, they released a total of 10 CDs including a full album which was released after the member change. The band went on hiatus after their 2007.03.20 live and although Yuu mentioned in his blog that he would be returning, that never appeared to be the case.

The lyrics of 彩音's song 真実への鎮魂歌 (Shinjitsu he no Chinkonka) reflect the idea of sacrifice and despair, with a strong emphasis on death and the meaning of life. The song starts with the line "Hakanaki inochi... subete wo horobosu nara" which translates to "If this fleeting life will destroy everything...". The metaphorical reference to the transience of life is visible throughout the song, with the theme of the unstoppable power of death looming over everything. As the lyrics progress, the song describes a world of darkness and despair, where tears have no meaning and the only way out is to move forward, no matter what.
The chorus reflects on the idea that if everything must be destroyed, then we should face despair head-on and be rewarded with a place in the next life. The lines "Tsuioku no SHIGUNARU wa majutsu he no REQUIEMU / Shinjitsu no SHIGUNARU wa maryoku he no REQUIEMU" translates to "The signal of memories is a requiem for magic/ The signal of truth is a requiem for power". In the end, the song is a call for hope and determination, for even if we are lost in the darkness, we will find tomorrow.
