DIVINE MOVE - 神の一手 [ Kagamine Rin - Len ]

Tuning - ‪@MilaTheArtsy‬ Mastering - ‪@lucevitous67‬ I originally wanted to have this MV done in time for the Kagamine's anniversary, but unfortunately, a combination of events prevented me from being able to finish on time. That being said, I am very happy with how the video turned out! This song was created in collaboration with the Echoes of Time album, a Kagamine-centric album that revolves around different time periods. I chose the Heian era and had a lot of fun coming up with a sort of folklore-type story/cautionary tale. I hope that you all enjoy! Please check out the rest of the album here: https://push.fm/fl/echoesoftime Extra special thanks to MilaTheArtsy and Lucevitous for helping with the mastering and tuning of the song! Instrumentals for all my songs can be found here!: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FZq6BS3bRzQa2YewqLd4Cv7U0Px0GKeF?usp=drive_link Feel free to use for covers or just listening purposes :: Reminder that I am still learning Japanese! Making songs in Japanese has significantly helped my learning process and motivates me to branch out with vocabulary and grammar, however since I am still learning some parts might sound off or could be incorrect. Like always, I would love to know what parts can be improved or fixed! Thank you to everyone who has already been helping me out I sincerely appreciate it! :DDD :: Lyrics Opening: Rin:　むかしむかし、秋の日に。少年は山にのぼりた。手には供物おもって once upon a time on an autumn day, a young man climbed the mountain with an offering in hand Len:また遊ばせて　 Let me play again!

Len:当たりから掛かりまで From ‘Atari’ to Kakari’ (translator note: Atari and Kakari are both names of go moves/set ups) Rin: 時間じれ Time’s running out Len: ひとつの願いのために For a single wish Rin: 最後のプレ The final play Rin: ああ、試合に負けた Ahh I’ve lost the game Verse 2: Len:　お金が僕を孤立させる　So lonely, the money isolates me Rin: 恋人とか？ A lover perhaps?

Rin: 祈れて！You better pray ! Len: ああ、試合に負けた Ahh I’ve lost the game
