1. I Wish
Lyrics： Tessey Ueno
Translation：Tomohiro Kawakami　　Kyle Holzhueter

I wish to see another
I wish to see a friend
I wish to see my mother
I wish to see you again

I wish to see someone beautiful
I wish to see someone powerful
I wish to see someone joyful
I wish to see someone sorrowful

I wish to see ancient figures
I wish to see sweet dreams
I wish to see above the clouds
I wish to see beyond the stars

I wish to see dinosaurs
I wish to see those from space
I wish to see arrivals from the future
I wish to see fading spirits

I wish to see happiness
I wish to see tenderness
I wish to see toughness
I wish to feel hope

I wish to see a wizard
I wish to see the end of time
I wish to see a believer
I wish to see my Lord

2. Astir
Lyrics： Sachie Fujishima
Translation：Kyle Holzhueter　　Clemens Zamboni

There was a time, gliding through the air
Together with the wind, a swallow flew
Big and wide, it melts into the sky

There was a time, flowing and swirling,
A trout passes, the river’s course changing with each stone
Slowly and silently, effortless flow

There was a time, rustling gently in the breeze
Trees and grasses sway, a sound is heard
Shallow but deep, the rippling current

There was a time, flickering and smoldering
Amongst a pile of kindling, the flame changes shape
Growing and climbing, the flame flickers

There was a time, a silent sound was heard
The sun’s rays absorb the dampness
The soil’s power silently set free

3. As for that of 5
Lyrics： Sachie Fujishima
Translation：Clemens Zamboni

As for that, a pleasant sweet scent
It floats all over
It is welcome in being called here

As for that, a pleasing tone
A feeling soaring high
It goes deep through the heart

As for that, a scene of beauty.
All the things which see it are beautiful
The sight which feels endless

As for that, a taste complete
It fills the mouth
A taste beyond bliss

As for that, a delicate feeling
It takes on a softness
Recieving an eternal strength

4. A gentle breeze
Lyrics： Sachie Fujishima
Translation：Clemens Zamboni

A midnight wind from afar caresses my cheeks
It seems to comprehend whispers
An effervescence to shine in the moonlight night
The depth of my heart stirs

In the blackened midnight sky
The trees awake noiselessly
My confusion dissipates into the wood
The depth of my heart begins to dance

A pure, gentle melody sounds from midnight afar
A meteor lights its whereabouts
It soars in the height of the sky
The depths of my heart stir

5. Aurora（Instrumental）

6. Afternoon Poetry
Lyrics： Tessey Ueno
Translation：Tomohiro Kawakami　　Kyle Holzhueter

Hold your umbrella above the clouds
You’ll see the rainbow of the whole sky

Drip a blue drop in the lake
You’ll feel the scent of spring on your face

Winds whisper tales of vanishing stars
A previous life reflects in the light

You’ll pierce through the atmosphere
and vanish into the Milky Way

Bury time in a stump
You’ll meet the forest spirits

Winds whisper tales of vanishing stars
A previous life reflects in the light

Touch beyond the mirror
and hear the whisper of light

7. Good night
Lyrics： Tessey Ueno
Translation：Tomohiro Kawakami　　Kyle Holzhueter

The sunset fell, fell on the mountains
It’s completely red beyond the clouds
Dreams flicker, Sweet dreams flicker
Goodnight

A drip of morning dew, a drip of spring water
It’s completely green beyond the ocean
Dreams flicker, Sweet dreams flicker
Goodnight

Stars glitter, glitter through the window
It’s completely blue beyond the Milky Way
Dreams flicker, Sweet dreams flicker
Goodnight

8. Purple hidden in the darkness
Lyrics： Sachie Fujishima
Translation：Clemens Zamboni

A purple concealed in the darkness invites me
Said to be long forgotten
I picture it ripping out the back of my mind
Without opening that door
It is hateful, reproachful but freed gets away

A purple in the darkness senses me
A grudge not to be remembered
A grudge that wells up deep in the mind
Not to be looked at, unprepared
It is sorrow and pain, thawing yet remaining

A purple concealed in darkness, what is your meaning
What is on the other side?
Nothing to be seen, nothing to learn
So I act if I know what is here
Its hardness means I should let it go

9. TAKATOU YUKASHI music
Lyrics： Sachie Fujishima
Translation：Clemens Zamboni

In the wide foothills of the Alps mountain range
Nature’s blessing wells forth
Unchanging past through present
Comfortably at ease with the lives of people
Aaa YUKASHI music
YURA-YURA YURA-YURA TAKATOU

To the summit of TSUETSUGI-TOUGE with the scent of romance
Nestled to a grinning moon
The landscape past through present
The depth of that visual expanse
Aaa YUKASHI music
YURA-YURA YURA-YURA TAKATOU

Raised in the traditional town of TAKATOU
Where stone masonry was born
Inherited past through present
The cradle of people and culture
Aaa YUKASHI music
YURA-YURA YURA-YURA TAKATOU

The SHINTOKU school of study and sport stood there
Which prospered in the glorious closing days of the Tokugawa Shogunate
Recalled with affection, past through present
Rich with life people still gather
Aaa YUKASHI music
YURA-YURA YURA-YURA TAKATOU

Takatou castle stands still and quietly
INADAIRA, reaches out with ease and freedom
The cherry trees bloom past through present
Recollections of this castle town remain
Aaa YUKASHI music
YURA-YURA YURA-YURA TAKATOU

10. Requiem（Instrumental & Scat）

11. When I was a cabbage butterfly
Lyrics： Tessey Ueno
Translation：Tomohiro Kawakami 　Kyle Holzhueter

Yesterday I dreamed a dream before I was born
I was a cabbage butterfly

The flowers of my garden smell of sweet nectar
As far as the eye can see is my garden

What kind of flower is it?
There are only colors of yellow and pink
Colors without form

Light is joy, night is pain
The wind is comfort and the rain suffering

A white lovely one in a new weba dazzling spider web

Light is joy, night is pain
The wind is comfort and the rain suffering

What is happiness? I just look for yellow and pink
Just looking for something sweet

12. A song of a mother’s love
Lyrics： Tessey Ueno
Translation：Tomohiro Kawakami 　Kyle Holzhueter

Where did your spirit come from?
And what have you seen?

Beyond the stars far, far away
I wait for the time

Your wish is my wish
But for now, say goodnight my beloved one

Beyond the stars far, far away
I wait for the time

Your wish is my wish
But for now, say goodnight my beloved one

Review

"Review from a listener in Aichi pref."

I listen to this everyday

The gentle and clear vocals make me feel I'm embraced with love. It's like a lullaby that flows in my heart.
I think there's more than a sound to this. I feel wide open and can see the lights coming above the sky(sora). At the same time I feel that I should pray. The pleasant sounds just make me feel i'm floating around

The title "Sora No Sasayaki" perfectly matches. I can tell that this theme represents the thoughts told in MAGI's room.
Mrs. Ritsuko's voice is fully expressed and the beautiful accompaniment by Mr. Tessey is a perfect collaboration. It is outstanding.
The lyrics by Mrs. Fujishima. The lyrics made by a spacial art designer is three demential. I can see a vision clearly from the songs.

"I Wish"
The bells ringing in the beginning, a foreboding of a beginning or a requiem?
"I Wish..." this is what everyone feels that was hit by the quake. But in this "I Wish" I feel more hope than sorrow. I can hear "I Wish…" as a pray.

"Astir"
This song is like a story that continues from "I wish".
I think I like this song the best out of this album. Maybe because it has some kind of linkage to the "Hoshi series" that I love by Mr. Tessey. I cried just by listening to the first part where the recorder and Mrs. Ritsuko's voice syncs.
I feel the greatness of the universe and some kind of protection like a baby has from a mother by this tune.
In the second chorus, I can see the river and the sunlight streaming through the leaves of trees.
In the third chorus, I feel the wind blowing.
In the instrumental part, the leaves start to dance with the wind and become glitters in the sky. I can see a clear vision when those glitters pour to the ground.
After the fourth chorus everything goes back to where they belong and in the final chorus, everything sinks into the Mother Earth.

"As for that of 5"
This is a cute song like a mother talking to a child. When I first listened to this tune I thought about Mr. Yoshinaka Nakata's
"Mother". As Mrs. Fujishima says, a child should be raised cared about their five senses.

"A gentle breeze"
As the title, the tune expresses a breeze. The instruments are amazing. The sounds synchronize beautifully and creates a feeling in my heart.

"Aurora"
I have a admiration for aurora's. Whenever I see one, I wonder why this phenomenon doesn't even make a sound. But this tune makes me think, if an aurora had a sound it would sound like this.

"Afternoon Poetry"
This tune is like a pray. Mrs. Ritsuko's voice seems to disappear into the sky.

"Goodnight"
This song has a special impression for me. This song makes me remember about all sorts of things. Maybe this lullaby makes me remember about people who passed away

"Purple hidden in the darkness"
I heard that this song was made when Mr. Tessey was in the hospital. I think this tune is different from Mr.Tessey's style. Maybe you can see different visions because of the situation.

"TAKATOU YUKASHI music"
Takatou is a famous place for castle's and cherry blossoms. I never have been there but I can imagine. The European original instruments make a beautiful sound in this song. This tune makes me want to dance along.

"Requiem"
I have a vision that I'm in a row for a funeral in the evening. There are long shadows of people looking down shown by the sunset.
There is a thunder cloud in the sky and darkens the land, but after a while the land takes back the light and the people looking down disappear in the lights.
In the last part I feel we have hope in our future.

"When I was a cabbage butterfly"
It's like I'm daydreaming. Everything is white, I can't tell if I'm awake or dreaming. I can hear someones voice from far away but i can't tell if it's real. Everything thing is dim in that world.

"A song of a mother's love"
After I'm awaken from my daydream, I notice that I'm protected by a "mothers love".
The gentle voice I hear from the sky is a lullaby sung by a "mother". It's like I'm in the universe and there isn't a end to time.
After exploring the whole world, we come back to our mother; where we belong. This beautiful song makes me think this way.
