Kashika

By: Ryo Haruka

Featuring Miku and Ryo Haruka


I want to breathe, so I release my first cry unto this world,
But it's hard to live, so again, I cry tears and scream.
Do I want to live? Do I want to die?
I really don't get it, this contradiction.

Even if I want to die, I'll put that in these verses,
These lyrics; today, I'll sing while appearing to be dead.

(Oh oh...)

When my quivering voice breathed life into a song,
It was then I realized,
That was the first time my breath could be seen.

They say that in the end, the value of music is subjective–
Well then, I'll sing as I please,
I'll show you the message I want to convey.

I won't despair over
Or be afraid of my mistakes.
They say to "live the right way,"
But I want to fight against that.

My faults are also part of my life,
Even if I'm treated like a fool,
I'll be hurt and I'll hurt others,
I'll live, causing both kindness and injury.

The present I see is everything to me,
So I don't want to cling onto ideals of the past or the future.
Beat, beat, o heart of mine!
It might be unsteady, but even so, this is my pulse.

(Oh oh...)

Some time ago, I'd grown to hate even that light
It's surely shining down on my eyes.
Holding onto some haphazard, nonsense feelings,
This heart is coming into view.

I want to breathe, so I release my first cry unto this world,
But it's hard to live, so again, I cry tears and scream.
Do I want to live? Do I want to die?
I really don't get it, this contradiction.

Even if I want to die, I'll put that in these verses,
These lyrics; I'll sing while appearing to be dead.

If there's a day where I lived, having wanted to disappear,
Neither of those feelings have to be untrue.
Sing, sing, o heart of mine!
Both hope and despair drive my pulse.

(Oh oh...)
Translation: Shiru

Switch to Sekai Version

"Find A Way Out" event song.

Note: The title translates to "Suspended Animation". Though a more literal translation would be "turning into a state of appearing dead, while actually being alive"

The in-game Virtual Singer version features Miku and Len.

There are...a ton of singers in the chorus on this. I'm not certain where they sing, but I'm assuming its on the "Oh oh..." parts. They are Len, Imai Fumiya, Ito Kent, Akina, Sumi Tomomi Jiena, Orangestar, Kase, Yoru no Los Angeles, Nasagashi, Zig, Harumaki Gohan, Yunosuke, Hamada Kouki, Sori Sawada, seeeeecun, Minomi Hajime, and higoAkari.

Fun fact: The music circle that Ryo Haruka is a part of, ZLMS, has had most of its members commissioned to do a VBS song. There's Ryo Haruka on this song, Yunosuke on Awake Now, and Harumaki Gohan on Gekkou. The only member to not have been commisioned so far is Zig. Funny enough, two of these songs are Akito focus songs.
