White Album 2 OST - 'Yasashii Uso' by Setsuna Ogiso

Setsuna's cover of Yasashii Uso, the ending song to Closing Chapter for Koharu, Mari and Chiaki routes, in White Album 2. Requested by Demeter Drakon.

[nataonna]

Koharu is the most legit route in Closing Chapter after all.The execution was magnificent! feels like Yasashii Uso hits really hard. The pain, the suffer, turn into an eternal sorrow and grief.

[NOOB]

Everytime I see this CG, I can't hold myself to feel.

[ManlyTear]

White Album 2 is pain, being Setsuna is pain and its....amazing!

Gentle Lies

At the café where we always met, the corner store where we always stopped
Somehow, at some point, I stopped remembering you

The day that we parted, you promised me
That, in our next life, you would stay with me forever

Those final, gentle lies you gave me are my greatest treasure
Even now I feel like my wounded heart is healing
The snowy sky is painfully beautiful, because it’s your sky, too

No matter how I resent and envy the one you chose
No matter how I try, I can never be her

The day that we parted, you promised me
You would never forget that you loved me most of all

Those final, gentle lies you gave me will be my treasure forever
Even now I feel like my wounded heart is healing
I look up to the sky and pray that you will always be happy

As I smiled and nodded at your lies, I was the biggest liar of all

Those final, gentle lies you gave me are my greatest treasure
Even now I feel like my wounded heart is healing
The snowy sky is painfully beautiful, because it’s your sky, too

I’ll never forget your gentle lies

playing this route was really emotionally painful. btw, i thought Koharu was somewhat related to Kazusa (because of unknown dad and her features); reason why I picked her in my first playthrough.

[Jayzgame]

This was definitely the route with the most collateral damage. Just...jeeez.

[Background_Mob]

I'M COOKED. I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME SETSUNA.
It's been so long since I last saw such an interesting character who is this layered and complex... THAT I LET MY GUARD DOWN AND NOW THIS SHIT TRAUMATISED ME IN A WAY THAT NOT EVEN SUBAHIBI MANAGED TO DO. I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO GO TO HER POWDER SNOW VIDEO BRUH.

Atleast I'll have a character who is not from WTC, Monogatari, key or Subahibi in my top 10 💀

Lastly I'll say love Setsuna cuz
Without love, her real self cannot be seen.
Without love, an understanding of her character cannot be reached.
And Without love, Setsuna's White Album can't be conveyed.

PEAK CHARACTER 🙏

Lyrics (romaji)

Yoku machiawase shita KAFE demo itsumo tachiyotta konbini demo
Itsunomanika itsukara ka anata wo omoidasanai

Tsugi umare kawattara sono toki koso shinu made
Soba ni iru yo to yakusoku shita wakare no ano hi ni

Yasashii uso anata ga saigo ni kureta taisetsu na watashi no takaramono da yo
Kizutsuita watashi no kokoro wa ima mo iyasareteiru kigashiteimasu
Yuki furu sora wa setsunaku kirei da ne anata to onaji sora ni tsuzuiteru kara

Anata ga eranda sono hito wo urande mo urayande ite mo
Akiramezu ni ganbatte mo sono hito ni wa narenai

Kokoro kara dare yori kimi dake suki datta to
Wasurenai yo to yakusoku shita wakare no ano hi ni

Yasashii uso anata ga saigo ni kureta kore kara mo watashi no takaramono da yo
Kizutsuita watashi no kokoro wa ima mo iyasareteiru kigashiteimasu
Sora wo miagete watashi wa negaimasu anata ga zutto shiawase de arimasu you ni

Ano yasashii uso ni egao de unazuita watashi no hou ga zutto usotsuki datta ne

Yasashii uso anata ga saigo ni kureta taisetsu na watashi no takaramono da yo
Kizutsuita watashi no kokoro wa ima mo iyasareteiru kigashiteimasu
Yuki furu sora wa setsunaku kirei da ne anata to onaji sora ni tsuzuiteru kara

Wasurenai yo yasashii uso wo

The 3 famous execution routes for Setsuna in CC that use this song, and then just when you thought you have happy end for Setsuna in her route, the author said nope, you have to continue IC and give the Strasbourg scene in Coda, damn that feel... Btw, this is the Koharu route when Koharu quietly looking at Setsuna crying and if you combine with another CG when Haruki standing at same place as Koharu and Setsuna waving at him then you truly know the feel. This game is truly torturing all the way till the end and take me huge courage to clear all routes in CC and Coda.

[ikemendude]

this shit so hurt, I want to read white album again for setsuna

[linuxgameplayxp]

Koharu's route showed the nobility of Setsuna's character.

[assdsds]

My waifu is and always be Koharu, but damn this scene just made compromise so much with playing Setsuna's route.

[Kaibors]

I cried everytime yasashii uso played 😭

[umu]

優しい嘘 あなたが最後にくれた大切な私の宝物だよ

傷ついた私の心は今も癒されている気がしています
雪降る空は切なく綺麗だね あなたと同じ空に続いてるから

A performer performs an act for the liar's sake.
meanwhile a liar creates A Gentle Lie for the Performer's sake.

What can a lyricist give to her?
What can a performer give to him?
What can a guitarist give to her?
What can a singer give to him?
What can a protagonist give to her?
What can a sore loser give to him?
If anyone understands Japanese then try to read the lyrics from the lyricist's perspective after reading the novel 届かない恋、届いた. then read this version to get a better understanding of both the characters.


I wonder who is better at hiding truth between a performer and a liar.

[SeklisQ]

And this is why I'll never be able to finish any route but Setsuna's in this game lol

[nathanbousquet]

You know you've succeeded in sticking to setsuna when you don't get this song ever in the game :) . Yes, it means playing less than hlaf of the routes and deciding you can't bear making a fictionnal character suffer then just....leave the game.
