#takarabako

[tanuki-kimono]

Amazing antique furisode, depicting a takarabako (treasure chest) over an impressive plum tree in full bloom on a vivid scarlet ground.

I am not a fan of this style of obi (maru obi often have kinda dated patterns, and are super heavy), but this one beautifully picks and enhances all the tones of the furisode.

I am not sure that’s the case here, but usually tamatebako refers to the treasure box gifted by the dragon princess Otohime to Urashima.

■Song: Takarabako / Treasure Chest ■Music / Lyrics/Vocals:  Nekobolo / Sasanomaly

空ろに　空見た 君はまだ　覚えてるかな

I wonder if you still remember, we used to look up at the sky with vacant gaze

見過ごした季節も　不確かな感情で

With uncertain feelings, we watched seasons pass us by

心の隅っこでも　欠片になれたなら 君のあの笑顔が　あるべき場所にあるといいな

If it could turn into a fragment in the corner of my heart, I hope that smile of yours would stay where it should be

この時間が　過ぎてゆくなら 君と共に　いられたのなら 見たことのない世界　見られるような気がして　いつか この言葉も　伝わるのなら　空へ落ちて　しまわぬように 何処かの裏に残した思い出も 宝箱にしまって

If this time is going to pass,   if I can stay by your side, I get the feeling that I can see a world I've never seen before If someday these words are going to be said, let's put memories left in the back of our mind into our treasure chest, to keep them from falling back to the sky

夕暮　夢見た 今はもう　望まない夢

At dusk, I saw a dream a dream that I no longer wish for it to come true

変わってく感覚も　置いてかない　ように

So that even changing feelings won't be left behind

未だ見ぬ不安ならば　立ち止まればいいの 君のその心が　あるべき場所に　あればいいよ

Can we stop for a while if invisible uneasiness is coming near? It's fine as long as your heart stay where it should be

声繋いで　願い届いて へたくそでも　少しずつでも 描いた想いも　明日も　ひとつになると信じて　いつか

Please let our voices connect and my wishes be heard Even if it's lousy, gradually and slowly, thoughts I formed in mind, and tomorrow, once they become one just believe, someday wishes will come true

その言葉も　きっと届くよ　空にとけて　忘れぬように 思い出す　声も　色も　褪せないように 宝箱にしまって

Those words will certainly reach its destination, let's recall everything so that they won't melt into the sky and be forgotten   let's keep voices and colors in our treasure chest to keep them from fading away

ひとりぼっちにしてほしい僕が 消えてしまいたいと願ったあの日も 悲しみで染まる記憶も　抱きしめて　そっと 未来を　書き足すよ

The me who just want to be alone embrace in my heart the day I wished to disappear and memories dyed in sadness then gently insert them into the future

きっと空　落ちてく僕を 笑っている君のことも 居ない僕が遺せたもの 居ない君が伝えたこと

That you would certainly laugh at me, who fell from the sky Things that I, who isn't here anymore, left behind Things that you, who doesn't exist anymore, once said

この時間が　いつか消えても 君と共に　いられたのなら まだ見えない世界も　見られる気がしてるよ　きっと その想いも　届けにゆくよ　もう落として　しまわぬように 芽生え始めた心の　ありったけを 宝箱にしまって

Even if someday this time is going to vanish If I can remain by your side I get the feeling I'm gonna see a world I've never seen before, Undoubtedly these feelings will reach, so that we won't drop them, let's put them into the treasure chest in our hearts, which just started to sprout, with all our might

Miraba distraidamente hacia el cielo, pensando en tí, esa estación que vimos pasar estaba llena de cálidos sentimientos. Me pregunto si ese recuerdo aún se mantendrá en un rincón de tu corazón, al menos deseo que tu sonrisa se mantenga. Si este tiempo sigue corriendo significa que aún puedo estar junto a ti, tengo la sensación que veremos un hermoso mundo. Si estas palabras se pronuncian de todos modos, vivamos juntos nuevos momentos memorables Atesoremos esos recuerdos... y continuemos.
