A song entitled "I Will" when the greatest love song in the form of "I hope/I will" exists? Why, yes. It's an epitome of Sherlock's wishes re: capturing "The Lord of Crime". When I first heard this, I was inconsolable for days, your honor. Read these lyrics, then read I will catch you. And then come cry with me.

I will

Character: Sherlock Holmes

Kanji

今日も俺の思考をいざなう 犯罪卿という名の　謎の城 精緻な細工で築かれた 城のなか　俺は永遠に彷徨う

犯罪卿　お前は義賊だ 弱き者を　救おうとしてる その手を罪の血に　染めながら 弱き者の涙　ぬぐおうとしてる

けれど…　いや　だから…

I will 俺は信念にしたがって I will お前を必ず捕らえる どれほどの深い闇の谷を歩もうと I will 俺が必ずお前を…

ああ　犯罪卿　お前が 俺の思う”お前”だったなら 俺はそう願わずには　いられない お前が　ああ　お前が…

I will 俺は　この心にしたがって I will お前を必ず　捕らえる どれほどの高い謎の城を登ろうと I will 俺がこの手で　お前を…

I will 俺が必ず　お前を...

English

Today as always it puzzles me One called “The Lord of Crime”, a mystery like a castle One built with the most intricate of minds And I am forever lost within the castle’s walls

Lord of Crime, you are a chivalrous thief You try to save those who are weak Even with your blood-stained hands, you try to wipe away the weak’s tears

But... No, that’s why...

I will stick to what I believe in I will definitely catch you No matter how dark the fields this path takes me I will definitely catch you

Oh, Lord of Crime If “you” are who I think you are I can’t sit still without thinking that you are That you are... Ah, you are...

I will stick to where my heart takes me I will definitely catch you No matter how high a tower I must climb I will definitely catch you, with my own hands

I will definitely catch you

Note: Sherlock sings this line (If “you” are who I think you are) during the ultimate reveal scene (with Milverton and William) and it's BEAUTIFUL.

[morimyulyrics]

Part 2 of 3! Gosh. If William's track felt to me like full of despair and desperation, Sherlock's track felt so much like hope. Sherlock just really wants to "catch" William so badly, and you can hear it in Hiraryo's voice. I can't listen to this track without breaking into a sob from all the feels, ngl.

I will catch you

Character: Sherlock Holmes

Kanji 俺は　罪を負った この身は　緋色に染まった ジョンの幸せが　俺の望み だから俺には　悔いはない

罪人が願うことなど 許されることじゃないんだろう それでもこの思いは消せない リアム　俺が　お前を…

俺がお前を　捕らえてやる 至高の謎全て　解き明かし 俺はお前と　同じ地平で 同じ景色が　見たいんだ

俺がお前を　捕らえてやる お前の心　辿り着く 謎の深い霧のその向こうで お前の心　つかまえてやる

お前の心　つかまえてやる I will catch you, Liam. I will catch you. I will catch you, Liam. I will catch you.

Romaji Ore wa tsumi wo otta Kono mi wa hiiro ni somatta John no shiawase ga ore no nozomi Dakara ore ni wa kui wa nai

Omae no kokoro tsukamaete yaru I will catch you, Liam. I will catch you. I will catch you, Liam. I will catch you.

English I committed a sin My body is tainted in red I only wanted John to be happy so I have no regrets

I know that sinners do not deserve their wishes to be granted Yet this desire still won't fade Liam, I... to you...

I will definitely catch you I will uncover everything about this most amazing of mysteries I want to stand in the same field and see the same things as you

I will definitely catch you I'll reach your heart Past the thick fog covering the mystery I'll catch your heart

I'll catch your heart  I will catch you, Liam. I will catch you. I will catch you, Liam. I will catch you.

Helllooooooo!! And so it begins, Op4 lyrics time. Thanks as always to @alphardofthealley for scans of the lyrics booklet. <3

This one's a very soft and very cute song for John and Sherlock. I absolutely LOVED the roof scene in the manga, and I believe this song managed to double/triple/quadruple just how soft this scene is. Enjoy!!

Under this blue sky

この空の下 | Kono sora no shita Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John H. Watson

Kanji

ずっと一人だったから　 お前と一緒に事件を 解決するようになってから　前よりももっと楽しくなった 同じ目線に立って　謎解きの楽しさを 共有できる相棒が　お前で良かった　だから…

お前がここからいなくなると　ちょっと悲しくなるな… でも、だからっていつあでもお前に　ここにいてくれてって言うの違う それは多分”依存”とか　”支配”ってやつだから 俺はメアリーを見極めようとした　彼女を試す様な真似もした その理由がやっと分かった　お前に幸せになって欲しいからだ

あぁ…　そう願うこの気持ち… これがきっと”友情”って　やつなんだな

友情　友情　お前の口から　そんな言葉が出て来るなんて そんな風に俺を想ってくれて　叫びたいくらいに嬉しいよ！

俺は結婚したとしても　お前の相棒を辞める訳じゃない お前と一緒に事件解決するのは　俺の生き甲斐なんだ！

「…約束だ、ジョン。」 俺との友情信じるなら　この先どんなことがあっても

お前はお前の幸せを掴め　お前の幸せこそが… 俺の幸せなんだからな

あぁ約束する　誓いを立てる　この空の下　お前に この空の下　お前に この空の下　お前に

English

Sherlock: Please. What are you saying, John? I’ve always thought highly of you. John: Really, Sherlock?

I had always been alone And when you came along, solving mysteries became a lot more fun I realized how fun it is having a partner on my side A partner I can work well with, I’m glad that partner is you Which is why I feel a bit sad knowing that you’re leaving

Still, that’s not enough reason to ask you to stay If I do (ask you to stay), I’d be “dependent” on you, or maybe I’d be “taking control” of you I finally understand why I tried to probe Mary, and even tested her And that’s because I just want you to be happy

Ah Yes, this feeling... It must be “friendship”

“Friendship” “Friendship”... Who would have thought the day would come when I’d hear that from your lips? And to think you’d think that about me... I’m so happy I could scream!

John: Sherlock! Sherlock: Wha! Idiot! Don’t just suddenly hug me! John: Come on. It’s fine, right? Sherlock: It’s weird. Let go of me! John: But, don’t get the wrong idea, Sherlock.

Even if I get married, I won’t stop being your partner Because solving cases with you is my life’s purpose!

That’s a promise, John. If you think my friendship is true, know that regardless of what happens from now on Just go and grab onto your happiness Because what makes you happy　makes me happy.

Yes, I promise. I swear this oath to you, under this blue sky Under this blue sky, I swear to you Under this blue sky, I swear to you

John: Let’s make sure everything goes well tomorrow! Sherlock: Yeah. Let’s do that.

Notes: There's no mention of blue skies, but the weather was shown to be super nice on stage, so I thought I should capture that. I LOVE THIS SCENE.

[morimyulyrics]

Here is my most favorite song in Op4. The whole Moriarty group singing about William. Am I just really weak to the Moriarty group?? Yes. What really gets to me most in this track is just how much PAIN and ANGUISH there is on Louis's face. The most pain I've ever seen on anyone's face, ever. (I love Yamamoto Ikkei, if that wasn't obvious yet.)

Broken into a thousand pieces

千々に乱れて | Chiji ni midarete Characters: Albert James Moriarty, Sebastian Moran, Louis James Moriarty, Fred Porlock

Kanji

“ウィリアム”の名が　世に広まる 避けられぬ行く末 もう…　進むしかない 心は千々に乱れて

予感はずっと　この胸にあった ウィリアムは一人で十字架を… 何か起ころうと　俺は変わらねぇ お前をお前の行く道を守る 渦巻く予感に　この身が震える 兄さんが僕の前から消えてしまったら これも計画でも本当に　これでいいの？ 信じよう僕の思う　ウィリアムさんを…

進めこの道を　ウィリアムが決めたなら お前の計画　完璧に遂行する 兄さんどうか　居なくならないで ウィリアムさんを信じる　信じなきゃ…

“ウィリアム”の名が　世に刻まれる 引き返せない道 この胸（震え　慕う　思い）揺れる 心は千々に乱れて 心は千々に乱れて

“William”’s name will be publicized It’s a fate we couldn’t avoid There’s no choice... but to keep going With my heart broken into a thousand pieces

[Albert] I’d always had a feeling, here in my heart That William will take upon the cross by himself

[Moran] No matter what happens, I won’t be swayed I will protect you and the path you want to go on

[Louis] My heart is anxious, my body shivers What would I do if Nii-san disappears?

[Fred] This is a plan. Right. But is this really okay? I’ll believe in him, in William-san...

[Albert] Let’s head forward, if this is the path William chose [Moran] I’ll make sure your plan goes through [Louis] Nii-san, I beg of you, please don’t disappear [Fred] I believe in William-san. I have to...

“William”’s name will be shredded by the world A path we can’t turn back on This heart (this shivering, this yearning, this thought) sways My heart is broken into a thousand pieces My heart is broken into a thousand pieces

Ah Ah Ah Ah

[Note: This is a post queued from before Op5 started.]

Surprise! A two-parter post. What is an "I will" without its matching"I hope", yes? The way Shougo starts the song with his "Ooh"s will never fail to make my knees melt. He struggles a bit in this recording (and I wish I could record a different version. Sobs.) but his delivery of his desire is still so good!!! Truly an extraordinary performer.

I hope

Character: William James Moriarty

Kanji

Ooh “犯罪卿”　それが僕の名だ 僕はこの名を負って生きている 大切な仲間と歩むのは 血潮に染まった昏き道

English

Ooh Lord of Crime, that is my name I carry the weight of it as I live I walk with my companions along a dark path tainted with blood

No matter how grave a sin I must carry on my back I want to make a world where all are equal I will dispose of all the demons and make a beautiful world with my own hands

Ah Sherlock You are the star of this play I write The light shining brightly in the midst of this twisted world And this light is too bright for me...

I hope  I hope I’m hoping That the one who will catch me At the end of it all is no one but you

I hope  I hope If this wish can be granted I want you to catch my wicked soul

The end of my life is already set Oh, wind, blow upon me. I just hope for one thing

I hope  I hope If this wish can be granted I want you to catch my wicked soul

This wicked... me...

Note: It really surprised me when William sang 「風よ、吹け」 "Oh wind, blow upon me." He doesn't really specify "upon me" per se, he's just asking the wind to come. But considering Op3 where he sings about the wind (Sherlock) caressing his cheek...I thought it best to translate it as such. And yes, what really surprised me was the reference to Op3!!! I feel like it's the tiniest glint of hope William manages to admit throughout Op4, where he's mostly just asking for death. Huhuhu

[morimyulyrics]

Hello again! It's been a while, and the lyrics have been waiting for so long to be posted!!! Here's a 3-part post because I feel like these three tracks just simply cannot be separated. They're the final 3 songs of Op4, just in time for Op5 to start on the 25th!

The first of the three is William's track. I feel so much for William and how much he wants it all to end. He's desperately pleading, and Shougo really belts it out so wonderfully.

Upon this path

この道を | Kono michi wo Character: William James Moriarty

Kanji この胸の奥で爛れた 罪と血の果肉 祈る指と指の合間から 死者の匂いが漂う

これは自分が決めた道 最期の時へと向かう道 穢れ果てた　この身抱えて 僕は　この道を…

ひとり　歩く　荒れ野に 救いも　赦しも　無い 亡者のようなこの魂に 迫る　死のさだめは迫る

この胸にひそやかに願うのは どうかこの道の先で シャーロック　君が　この僕の 呪われた　命の灯を消し去って 凍えた　この僕を消し去って

English William: Killing one person is no different from killing two. This means that he will surely come kill me, too.

A cancer that's grown in my heart from all the sin and blood shed The scent of those who've died wafts from between the fingers of my hands in prayer

This is the path I'd chosen The path towards my death I hold my filthy body As I go down this path...

I walk alone the wilderness I can't ask for salvation, nor forgiveness Like the souls of those who perished My soul approaches death

My heart silently hopes Please, at the end of all this Sherlock, you'll be the one to do it to me Extinguish the fire of my cursed soul Extinguish my numbed self

With your own hands, Sherlock With your own hands, Sherlock

[morimyulyrics]

Last time was Moran's feels, this time it's Louis and Fred! A DUET. They're so cute. ;A; They really show how much they don't want William to die. And they just wanna walk beside William for the rest of their lives. BABIES. MUST PROTECT. Anywhoo.
