BABYMETAL - 紅月 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ikusen mono yoru wo koete
Iki tsuzukeru ai ga aru kara
Kono karada ga hobiru made
Inochi ga
Kieru made mamori tsuzukete yuku

Hitomi no oku ni hikaru
Nakida shisou na tsuki wa
Akai namida afurete
Yozora wo somete yuku

Seijaku no naka de
Kizu tsuita yaiba sashi mukai
Kodoku mo fuan mo
Kiritsukeru kokoro made

Ikusen mono yoru wo koete
Iki tsuzukeru ai ga aru kara
Kono karada ga hobiru made
Inochi ga
Kieru made mamori tsuzukete yuku

Sugite yuku toki no naka
Hitomi wo tojita mama
Kono te ni nagareru akai ito kirete mo
Kanjite iru kizuna wo

Seijaku no naka de
Kizu tsuita yaiba sashi mukai
Kodoku mo fuan mo
Kiritsukeru kokoro made
Ima

Ikusen mono yoru wo koete
Iki tsuzukeru ai ga aru kara
Kono karada ga hobiru made
Inochi ga itsuka kieru made

Ikusen mono yoru wo koete
Iki tsuzukeru ai ga aru kara
Kono karada ga hobiru made
Inochi ga




Kieru made mamori tsuzukete yuku
Akaku somare makka ni somare

ここまでバックが強力だと音に負けない強力なボーカルが必要なんだと思うけど、負けていないどころか主役なんだもの、すごいよね🎵

@user-dr1sd2jn8n

アカツキのギターソロの掛け合いは魂が揺さぶられる。スウの声や他バンドメンバーの素晴らしさについては言うに及ばない。

@user-wi1kr1rp9u

ステージが回転しながら音程を外さず、あの歌唱力を保ててるのがすごい。

@umiy3

全員が超絶真剣、超絶巧い、正確、ライブなのにミスがない、それでいてグルーブ感が出ている、スーちゃんもキーを外さない、声が安定している、なんの苦もなく声が出ている、裏声も使わない、発音も正確、それでいてノリノリの歌唱演技、うっとりする。
