砂上ノ楼閣(sajou no rokaku) A Castle Built of Sand - Valkyrie color coded lyrics (KAN/ROM/ENG)

[@snailuka]

if you read the lyrics, it's pretty obvious that this is about Valkyrie's downfall... they were literally singing about their demise as it was happening, which just makes it even more sad...

[@cupangoreng]

i just realized... why 😭😭😭😭

[@Daneclk]

it made me sad too but shu with a uniform in enthralling threatre song but how sad they sing they're demise

[@fireworksforme2]

D:

[@siaorihara]

that's why when they sing it in the anime, I think that it was Nazuna telling his old unit mates a formal goodbye to become fully apart of Rab*its and leave Valkyrie with no more regrets

[@gladionfan]

LUKA??

[@aprixcus]

The fact that Shu said that Valkyrie was no castle of sand during the Neverland Event makes me cry even more.

[@fireworksforme2]

omg fr im crying

[@because-strudels]

Shu singing the line "Ah, though everything has been shattered to pieces"...with Nito and Mika saying in follow-up "these engravings are not wounds", it makes me cry

[@curlypubes69]

Real, my eyes become teary when that part plays

This song is so beautiful with such a bittersweet story behind it. This song gives me feelings I can’t explain. Everyone in Valkyrie (including Nito ) really has been through a lot

[@yuag.3909]

I’m always amazed by nazuna’s va when i hear how high his voice can go. I know it’s probably not possible but i’d really like to hear yonai-san do a solo cover of this song or if someone could find audio of his voice only for it. His high notes are always sung with shu and mika, which sounds really good together, but you can’t fully experience his skill alone which makes me a bit sad because it’s clear he worked really hard to get that high.

Valkyrie's sad past and the reason why Nazuna left the band makes me cry. That is why this song is so fragile and beautiful.

[@dazaisbandages1906]

"And to even the fact it's broken it remains oblivious" Man oh man the tears just won't stop But again this song also lives to serve how much Shu (and Valkyrie) have grown from ! Era to !! Era. Im so proud of the three of them😭😭

[@mrglassman9554]

Tennis shoe😭???

[@snowmoooo_n]

atleast the last part made me giggle😭

[@raelynrambles]

What I find interesting about this song and Sacred Youth Games is that Mika sings during them, when it was stated he wasnt allowed to sing with Nazuna and Shu during that time period. That means that these were likely the only songs Mika recorded with them during ex-Valk (likely due to Nazuna's insistence), which means these songs are probably held dear to all of them.

[@clowd..]

Actually this song was sung by Valkyrie after their downfall At this time nazuna was already in ra*bits, he just came to sing this both to apologize and to help mika who is in a little trouble bcuz shu was late( leo and izumi(?) Found him passed out in the snow) mika still hadnt fully trusted nazuna and was scolding at him backstage untill shu appeared then they all sang together Also shu said that this song was supposed to be centered around mika

How I miss the old valkyrie... to be honest, I love the old valkyrie so much... than the current one because it feels something is missing...

[@noya3453]

The old valkyrie was very toxic from the start thats why they had a downfall in the first place,, im happy things are the way they are now tbh, nito can freely smile now, mika isn’t a worthless member anymore and shu doesnt have to carry valkryie by himself on any longer

[@KOHAKU_28]

@@noya3453 I think it's good for all of them that Nito left Valkyrie. They wouldn't be able to move on due to Shu's attachment to Nito. And Nito is much happier now. I think that Mika and Shu become more carrying for each other. I like that things are like that(sorry for my eng)

[@soramafuforlife7247]

Ex Valkyrie is absolutely charming and Nazuna's voice is the most gorgeous thing ever in it but I definitely prefer the current Valkyrie much more as the above commenters have said already. The way Mika can stand as Shu's equal and how Shu has developed to be a much better person and wants Mika to see himself as a human rather than a doll now is beautiful.

[@itrysometimes4312]

I find this a very fascinating discussion because it could be interpreted that the old Valkyrie is in fact the 'better' version, technically, because Nito was essential to Shu's vision of making perfect art. The current Valkyrie 'lacks something' (Nito), and we feel that. However, it was able to become something more - a real idol unit, if we're leaning into the human vs doll, Pinocchio, themes here, where Mika and Shu can perform happily as equals despite finding faults with it as 'art'. Old Valkyrie is an idyllic, but bygone era, the nostalgia perfects it in rose-tinted glass, but it finds its place within a Museum to be admired. While the current Valkyrie lives, breathes and performs for the present, straddling the line between perfection and what finding humanity in their art will create (Acanthe). I'm in love with both Valkyrie's because of the dichotomy Art vs Idol, Happiness vs perfection (Steampunk Museum), Human vs doll thing they've got going on, it cuts deep and enables discussions like this which are also very thematic. It's all the art of Valkyrie and I live for it.
