Note: Know the song "Memories on My Left Hand"? (Mitsukake) Well, this just shares the title, no other similarities. (Save that it's a song) Sung by "Kai-Ka" as he's regaining Amiboshi's memories. Spoilers for Episode 37 if you haven't seen it. Written by the sap/angst writer of this group, Korin.
Memories on My Left Shoulder
Memories, memories, all these memories!
I thought I'd forgotten
And I wanted to forget
I don't want to be the person I remember I was
A person who believed the only way to stop war was with war
I can't escape, however
This symbol that shows up on my left shoulder
I know I've seen it before...
That blazing blue Chinese character! I remember!
It showed up when I wanted to protect or fight!
And although the burning doesn't hurt my skin, it cremates my heart...
There was a boy I remember, my twin!
Al I wanted was to protect him!
He trusted me, but I broke that trust, I left him
Now that I'm remembering...
I want to hurt myself for the hurt I gave him
I promised him he'd never be alone
And then I drowned
Killed myself because I thought it would be better...
And now I'm learning that what I did was wrong!
Can't you see the pain in my eyes?
I regret how much I hurt you!
Brother of mine, forgive me!
I thought I'd be saving you from my fate!
But the memories on my left shoulder
Tell me how wrong I was!
I can't take back what I did
By not existing!
I'm sorry I failed you, but I didn't want to hurt
The one I loved
A conflict inside me
Told my chi I was doing wrong
But it also told me
Incorrectly
That to right I had to die!
So I smiled one last time at the Miko
And then I let go of the flute!
And...I...fell...downward
I ceased to exist as Amiboshi
And chose to live as Kai-Ka
But now I'm getting back Amiboshi's memories on my left shoulder!
Please...help...me
I want to stay forgotten...
But what if I can't?
What if the memories on me
Drown me
Again?
Please let me take my flute
And leave my memories behind
Let...me...become
The boy Kai-Ka
With a family, and a peace I can't get from these memories
Just let me forget everything
Let me become
My...true...self!
K-A-I-K-A
My...self
The end. Please R+R!
