Wagakki Band(和楽器バンド):Yoshiwara Lament(吉原ラメント)-Live At Tokyo National Museum

[@iantune]

lil trivia for those who dont know: the reason why there's a duet with Asa (the bassist) is because he actually owns this song, he's a vocaloid producer and the original ver of this song is made by him using teto

[@yasu472]

西洋の真似でなく、単調になりがちな和楽器を艶やかにアレンジして 飽きさせない✨ 古風が新しい✨

I watched Senbonzakura first because of Lindsey Stirling's violin version and I like the tune. I find out that WGK's original MV and got me interested in them.

English Lyrics: Edo is once again covered by a deep veil of darkness today. Facing the mirror, putting on lipstick Complying with, receiving everything The orange flower which shone I admired and desired. Before I knew it, I was a blue flower Even so, I’m not cheap. What I really wanted was to bloom for one person Fate stole my freedom and carried on spinning its gears A love full of lies Followed by hugging me Acting almost if it could feel grief It’s raining in Yoshiwara today. Sir would you somehow buy me please The bouquets of umbrellas start to bloom Drenched, I’m raining The noise of the hustle and bustle start to crowd together and tangle My wish is to somehow, someday Get brought out of this bird cage Frankly having no place to go The scenery I see from my cage will even heal me one day A love full of lies And then you buy me right? The flower petals that fall in my drenched heart is raining. Sir please throughout the night Flirt with me and The stains of desire, Slowly stick them into my heart The flower tinged with sadness Wishes for an end. Welcome please come in On this night we act as lovers Making me moan “a-ah” Acting almost if it could feel grief It’s raining in Yoshiwara today. A love of lies Then you hug me right? Acting almost if it could feel grief It’s raining in Yoshiwara today. Sir would you somehow buy me please The bouquets of umbrellas start to bloom Drenched, I’m raining
