I'm so speechless.
This was such an incredible song to be a part of.
Thank you to Ina and Hololive for having me involved in this project and trusting me with lyric-writing once again. We went places with this song, and I hope that atmosphere resonates with the Takodachis <3
Huge props as well to M2U and Lumina for their amazing work on the music and video.
And of course Ina. The vocals and the artwork are stunning.
Ahh... I'm so happy~

1:44 "When death, rebirth, time, and oceans align, eternity's hope will power through." I love the lyrics for this song!

[lumina]

It was a great pleasure and an honor to work with great lyrics and the best illustrations on such a good song. Thank you!

She can't keep getting away with this!




...But please keep getting away with this!

[elkaidred]

Wow, you can tell this is a huge step for her. All the hiatuses and all the tomorrows we have waited just to hear her sing something new again. At last, she comes out with an original song that is jam packed with emotions but its in a whole new genre that fits perfectly with this new tone in her voice that has so much more confidence behind it when compared with her first original. If we start seeing more music projects like this from her, we might be getting an EP or even an album in the future because I think Ina has found a voice that she can build her music around if she wants to make music like Bae has started to do.

[ElSarcasticoo]

The "Inaff" in the chorus gave it the last touch lol

As always, Ina did a great job, everything is perfect, the art, the song, her voice, the MV, everything 💜

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear
And the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear the unknown"

So true

Meconopsis Lyrics
(A)
Sapphire petals fall through infinite black sea
Misty whispers that call, drown in endless dreams
(O)
Is my sanity
Clinging from my mem'ry?
(I)
Is humanity a long forgotten friend?
Tenjou no yousei ga saigo no hanabira o otosu (The fae up above drop their last petal)
Kokoro wa, anata no uso o subete abaku (And their hearts, they see through all the lies you tell)

Enough!!
No, I won't keep praying endlessly
A world without love is not the world that I want to see
If sentiment withers aoikeshi (like a Blue poppy)
Tell me how do I reconcile the joy in my memory?
Ima ga, minna o sukuu saigo no chansu (Now is the the time to save everyone, it's the final chance)
Chi no chikai (An oath of blood)
Ai no chikai (An oath of love)
Though death may die
Love Is Now And For Forever

Kodaijin wa ruruie no ie de yume o minagara matsu (The Ancient Ones dream as they wait in R'lyeh)
When death, rebirth, time, and oceans align
Eternity's hope will power through
Tenjou no yousei ga saigo no hanabira o otosu (The fae up above drop their last petal)
Kokoro wa, anata no uso o subete abaku (And their hearts, they see through all the lies you tell)

Enough!!
No, I won't keep praying endlessly
A world without love is not the world that I want to see
If sentiment withers aoikeshi (like a Blue poppy)
Tell me how do I reconcile the joy in my memory?
Ima ga, minna o sukuu saigo no chansu (Now is the the time to save everyone, it's the final chance)

Aoikeshi (Blue poppy)
Aoikeshi (Blue poppy)

Faith and dreams belong in the arms
Of love
Enough...

Enough!!
No, I won't keep praying endlessly
A world without love is not the world that I want to see
If sentiment withers aoikeshi (like a Blue poppy)
Tell me how do I reconcile the joy in my memory?
Ima ga, minna o sukuu saigo no chansu (Now is the the time to save everyone, it's the final chance)
Chi no chikai (An oath of blood)
Ai no chikai (An oath of love)
Though death may die
Love Is Now And For Forever

Blue poppys are apparently rare and grow naturally in the Himalayan mountains. According to the internet, the blue poppy means imagination and higher thinking.

She is normally cute but she looks cool and stunning on this MV

[Cowslippoetry]

It has been so long, I had almost forgotten how hauntingly enchanting Ina's singing is. She makes art with both her hands and her voice, that level of talent is otherworldly. Considering her lore, it makes perfect sense.

[zapminty-]

It's so cool when hololive singers collab with rhythm game artists like M2U. Ina's voice blends beautifully with the percussion and violins

[TheFinal]

Not sure if it’s intentional, but if you take the first letter from each word in the line “Love Is Now And For Forever” (except love) you get INAFF

[WatcherofMUGEN]

It was Ina’s birthday, yet she’s the one who gave everyone this present.

[kimhyo]

아니 제목에 한글써져있길래 이게 무슨일이야하고 들어오니까 자막도 한글달아주셨네ㅠㅠ너무 고마워요 이나~

[Fubuki-gun]

"A world without love is not the world that I want to see"

Man this song is so BEAUTIFUL

[KnightB]

Ina seems to have a mystical ability to grip my heart with her music and refuse to let go. Violet did it with a soft and melancholic feeling, but this song has an almost desperate feeling to how it flows.

The entire thing feels like a last act of defiance from someone who's been restrained for so long that they've almost stopped fighting. Given that the lyrics were inspired in part by the Myth's Bad Ending short, it's not hard to imagine that version of Ina giving her last push in her fight against the influence of the Ancient Ones, only for it to end up falling short.
