Lost Time Memory -ayano alter- (English Cover)【ロスタイムメモリー】

This is a remake of a project I made with Will many years ago. I always liked the idea but wanted to redo a few of the lyrics that didn't flow as well and update the manga portions a bit. This is my own retelling of Lost Time Memory from the Kagerou Project but framed to focus on Ayano Tateyama instead of Shintarto Kisaragi. It's moments like these that I really wish IA had an English voice bank, but what are you going to do.

Lyrics:
Years pass by, but your shadows still surround me
Held up feelings all crying blindly
I crouched alone and had drawn up a sketch of the sky
Through the night and the hills, I tried to wish it
The silhouettes vanished in an instant
The summer heat of the day dyeing red in my eyes…
“Big sis, what’s happening?”
“Close my eyes and say I’m dreaming”
Glaring as she failed to save me
“You’re the reason”
I had cursed and had shouted, eyes stained dark in the seething
“God, I’m sorry”
Sobbing alone under the raining, all the love was gone from my cold face
“Where’s your heart, stuck in a daze?”
Life’s too short to be living full of hurting
At times I fall, but I’m always learning
How nice it’d be if our days could go on like a dream
Years pass by as we’re running through the summer
The simple things fill me up with wonder
A world so sweet, but the beauty is not what it seems
“Don’t let it end”
“It’s the end of my friends,” I stumbled crying
Grabbing at my wrist just to curse it
If we can’t carry on then alone I’ll fight-those happy days were all worth it
“In this summer of dreams, tell me God, oh where’s the answer?”
“I just wanted all of them with me!”
Awkward and lame, I hid my eyes as I stared into the sky
And their smiles burned the back of my mind
Girl, 16, had known no better
To save “those days,” it’s now or never
She turned her back on all she dreamed
So every smile lasts forever
Towards the sun, the school behind me
I closed my eyes and ran off blindly
“Let’s play once more”
I thought while falling to a place unseen
“You okay?” he had asked a breath with worry
Things like him wouldn’t ever get me
So don’t pretend that you’re sad for the life that I live
In this haze, I’ll continue never feeling
Keep up the pace of the days repeating
So that I won’t be forgetting their warming skin
That summer day
Cut away by the pain was how I left you
Everyone was caught in the hurting
All the dreams that we made had begun to fade-my eyes consumed by the burning
“But you know, even so, you had helped me through tomorrow”
Yet it never lessened the burden
Killing the “me” that always tried as I glared into their eyes
And had bid our happy family goodbye
Girl, 16, now warped and breaking
Today at last had stopped her praying
She cast aside her empty dreams
To save the futures she was taking
Crying out towards the victim:
“If only you had died there with them!”
The breath she sighed, now left behind, had slowly stopped its pace
Those summer days…
So far away…
I’m filled with pain…
I won’t let it….
Be touched again….
“Can you hear my voice disappearing in the twilight?”
The reasons then were so clear in hindsight
I rest my eyes as the feeling was lost in the haze
Girl, 18, had prayed so kindly
Those precious days are long behind me
The summer smile I lost to time became the
Light that now will guide me
“I was blind to all you went through”
“But now this time I’ll bear it with you”
Don’t let this scene all end in dreams, you were the world to me
The silhouettes will smile on until the day we’re finally free

I loved your white Album 2 video and it was soooo good but why did you stop making long video-essay videos like that? Bro can you make a video like that on a VN again?

[@Theo-k5v]

Do you know there is a meaning behind please give me a red pen

[@Theo-k5v]

The meaning is in I forgot what country it is Japan what whatever is called they use red ink to write dead people name in the girl look like she was riding her name

[@reesember]

This makes me so happy! Lost Time Memory (Will’s English cover, to be specific) is my favorite song, and I love your take on Ayano’s version! It’s awesome to see you remaking Ayano’s Lost Time Memory with Miku, the new lyrics are great and the old ones still hit hard! “ Crying out towards the victim, ‘if only you had died there with them’ “ is one of my favorites, and the last chorus is always emotional, no matter which version or how many times I’ve listened to it. Thank you for this!!

[@thomasinewilliams2523]

Happy Thursday and Afternoon!! I'm so *happy* that, people are *still* doing the *"Kagerou* *Project"!!* It's underrated but it's lovely to see & has a wonderful storyline!! *"Lost* *Time* *Memory"* is one of my favorites, and I honestly Hope that we can get *each* member of the Mekakushi-Dan to sing this song!!

AYANO

[@fawnopossum]

I absolutely adored your original version with Will, it meant a lot to me when it came out and I listened to it on repeat, so I'm so excited to see this updated version all this time later!! I love some of these lyric changes, especially at the end, "you were the world to me" ugh my heart! You did a fantastic job with this as always. Ayano is one of my favourite characters in fiction and I love to see that people are still making kagepro content all this time later

[@sallysullivan1034]

I forgot about you, you were the one who got me into vocaloid

[@ViridianRainIIV]

Your video was awesome! Thanks to you and Will Stetson, I discovered the Kagerou Project fandom, and I'm really enjoying it! I'm excited to give something back by animating "Kagerou Daze Chapter 48: Red" from the manga. Thanks for introducing me to all of this! Sorry if my English is a bit odd, I'm not a native speaker.

I’m planning on getting a kagepro tattoo considering how much this series has changed and even saved my life and this just reinforces it now all I have left is to figure out what to get to represent this series or just figure out how to get everyone on me lol

[@hi3721]

:DDDDDD I can't put my happiness and excitement into words, the lines "killing the "me"that always tried as I glared into their eyes/ and had bid out happy goodbye" PERFECTLY embody so much into so little, "girl 16, now warped and breaking, today at last had stoped her praying/ she cast aside aside her empty dreams to save the future she was taking" like !!!!! Like these lines were so good someone would think that Edgar Allen Poe or Shakespeare wrote these cover lyrics bc their pure genius

[@ipd0043]

I love this. I share a similar love for Ayano, feeling that she is by far one of the greatest characters in fiction and she by far stands to be my favorite. I am so happy people like you exist who share this admiration and care for the kagerou project. I've seldom ran into people who have even heard of kagepro, but seeing people embrace the bits and properly put to words some of the incredible feelings the series has given me is such an incredible experience. Thank you, breadbox.

[@AT-zz2ks]

Masterpiece as always

let's go!!!!!
