Cinnamon Ass - Reborn Like a Zombie

Fantastic Children Episode 20 - Circling Life

Dumas reveals the fate of the Children once they return to Girishia, but makes a bargain with Hiisuma over a solution to the problem whilst abusing his knowledge of Gherta. Armed with Hiisuma's information, Dumas attacks the Children and captures Helga. While Thoma has a bizarre reaction to Helga's revelations about her past lives, Agi and Soreto give chase to Gherta's old laboratories, where they face Enma once more and meet some familiar faces...

Well, we now know Dumas' motives and some more about the way the reincarnation appears to work. In some ways I find Helga's role of the damsel in distress to be slightly annoying - she's been an object for much of the series - but she seems to have gained a more interesting personality alongside her memories. It didn't bother me that much, as we got a pretty decent action sequence and more Gherta! I don't know why she's my favourite character, I really don't...

As a special treat, I've ripped and uploaded the Origa tracks from the Fantastic Children image album for your listening pleasure here. The password for the RAR is, rather originally, origa.

In the extended entry, you can find the lyrics for the Japanese version of the song - I have made an attempt of translating them but have no idea if it's right. or not (given my virtually non-existent skills in Japanese) - take them as you will.

Kanji:

迷い子の群れ　遥か　 私を呼ぶ
砂の記憶をたぐり　夜はみちる
遠い昔　放たれた光　私を照らす
頬なでる風　 指に触れる　虹のかけら

ここで　あなたを待っていた
ふいに透きとおる　カラダは
春の風にさらわれて
空へ　舞い上がる　たかく

果てしない草原を　さまよいゆく
微熱の瞳とじて　夢を見てる
大切な　たった一つきりの　ココロの奥で
そっと息づいた 蕾のように　ほどけてゆく

ここで　誰かを待っていた
ふいにすきとおる　カラダを　つよく　抱いて
舞い上がる

ずっと遠い昔　放たれたら光　私を照らす
頬なでる風　 指に触れる　虹のかけら

ここで　あなたを待っていた　ふいに透きとおる　カラダは
春の風にさらわれて　空へ　舞い上がる　いま

ここで　誰かを待っていた
ふいにすきとおる　ココロは
春の風にさらわれて
空へ　舞い上がる　いま

Romanised:

Mayoigo no mure haruka watashi wo yobu
Suna no kioku wo taguri yoru wa michiru
Tooi mukashi hanatareta hikari watashi wo terasu
Hohonaderu kaze yubi ni fureru niji no kakera

Koko de anata wo matteita
Fui ni sukitooru karada wa
Haru no kaze ni sarawarete
Sora e maiagaru takaku

Hateshinai sougen wo samayoi yuku
Binetsu no hitomi tojite yume wo miteru
Taisetsuna tatta hitotsu kiri no kokoro no oku de
Sotto ikizuita tsubomi no youni hodokete yuku

Koko de dareka wo matteita
Fui ni sukitooru karada wo tsuyoku daite
Maiagaru

Zutto tooi mukashi hanataretara hikari watashi wo terasu
Hohonaderu kaze yubi ni fureru niji no kakera

Koko de anata wo matteita　Fui ni sukitooru karada wa
Haru no kaze ni sarawarete　Sora e maiagaru ima

Koko de dareka wo matteita
Fui ni sukitooru kokoro wa
Haru no kaze ni sarawarete
Sora e maiagaru ima

English (vaguely)

A distant group of lost children call to me
Reeling in the memory of sand, night comes
The light released in the distant past shines on me
The wind brushes my cheeks, and shards of a rainbow touch my fingers.

I have waited for you there
Suddenly, my transparent body
Is captured by the wind of spring
And soars into the multifaceted sky

I wander endless plains
I dream, my eyes closed feverishly
The most important part of my heart
Blooms, like a softly sighing flower

I have waited for someone there
Suddenly, my transparent body is embraced strongly
And soars.

The light released in the long distant past shines on me
The wind brushes my cheeks, and shards of a rainbow touch my fingers.

I have waited for you there. Suddenly, my transparent body
Is captured by the wind of spring and now soars to the sky

I have waited for someone there
Suddenly, my transparent heart
Is captured by the wind of spring
And now soars to the sky.
