Miniature Garden ～変わらぬ想い～ // Kawaranu Omoi
^I must have changed the images for this twenty times and still haven’t found anything that really fits the song, but well… Reisen is Reisen.
Requested by: Larissa, Nadeko
It’s Vivian!! (Vocalist in Myon’s Border of Sanctuary)
I really like the chorus.. makes me feel like I’m dashing with all my might :)
Note:
I stuck with garden because of the title and the kanji, each instance of “箱庭” or “Miniature Garden” is read as “世界” or “world”.
“So I kept searching for you, no matter what it took”, taking this line literally, it’s more like “I kept searching for you, troubling you in the process”, but I thought that was already a bit obvious and made it/took it more like “even if it takes making you upset with me I’ll keep searching”.
As for feelings and emotions, 想い is usually used to mean “feelings for another person” as in “I’m thinking of you,” if that makes parts of the song a little clearer.

立ち尽くしてた囲われた箱庭で
ループしてる言葉 聞きながら
Standing still, locked in a caged garden
I listened to words running on loop
追えば逃げてゆく時の中
その瞳に映してるモノを知りたくて
君を困らせて探してた
本当か嘘かさえ曖昧なのに
As time passed I chased after you, but you kept running
I wanted to know what it was that shone in your eyes
So I kept searching for you, no matter what it took
But through it all, I was never sure what was real and what was delusion
「抜けだしたその先に何があるのかな？」
窓の外 背伸びして見つめていた
知りたいと願う程 君に近づいて
幸せの意味を重ねていた
“What awaits me if I ever make it out of here?”
I stretched and stared out of the windows
The more I wanted to know, the closer I came to you
And that became my happiness
飛び出してく何も知らないままで
不安も期待も全部押し込めてく
終わらない箱庭で聞こえた
小さな想いは此処から歩き出すから
Dashing ahead without knowing anything
My anxiety and expectations, everything was bent into this
Because in this unending garden I heard
A small feeling will take you out of here
揺れる感情は混ざり合う
消え去る日々の中 積み重ねていく
君を傷つけて・傷ついて
「ごめん」と独り言 夜空に消えて
My wavering emotions mix together
As each day flies by, they stack one upon another
Now I hurt you, now I am hurt
I stay to myself, “I’m sorry,” and my words disappear into the night sky
飛び跳ねて探してた 月は欠けたまま
ループする答えなど掻き消しては
「届いて」と伸ばした手 君を捕まえて
特別の意味を感じてた
I dashed and leapt searching for you, the moon still not full
Fighting away all the “answers” running on loop
“Reach!” with outstretched hand I catch you
Then, I felt something special
立ち尽くしてた囲われた箱庭で
ループしてる言葉 聞きながら
抜けだしていく 君に手を引かれて
ループしてた言葉 遠ざかる
Standing still, locked in a caged garden
I listened to words running on loop
Led dashing away by your hand,
The words repeated on loop grow distant
飛び出してく何も知らないままで
不安も期待も全部押し込めてく
終わらない箱庭で聞こえた
小さな想いは此処から歩き出すの
Dashing ahead without knowing anything
My anxiety and expectations, everything was bent into this
Because in this unending garden I heard
A small feeling will take me out of here
変わり出す そんな気がしてた
想いを重ねて君と踏み出してく
続いてく箱庭で聞こえた
小さな想いは何時までも変わらないままだと
I felt that something was changing
As we walked, our feelings for each other meeting
In this garden extending ever on I heard
This small feeling will never, ever change.

kafka-fuura 
love it, especially that last picture there. Do you think you can take up this challenge,of course I’ll wait until you finish your requests though: ‘花見月’ from 東方ESCALATION, ‘ワガママMIND’ from ALiCE’s Emotion – Tailwinds and ‘きゅんきゅんたまらんいなばたん。’ from Halozy- Starry Presto? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
I will add them, but I can assure you they’ll take a while ^^;
Great song! I will add to ENS list! How about “Nothing Guilty” from Felsic Mirage. Also maybe one not from ENS but, Eliminate Anthem from Halozy.
I wonder whether there’ll be more 黒鳥+nayuta in the future… kinda miss that combination from E.N.S.
Yeah, you don’t see much of nayuta or Izumin around anymore… I miss Izumin D:
