Kiseki no Umi (Sea of Miracles)
(Introduction, which consist of a chourus of women starting out singing "Yayayayaaaa" in a Indian style chant while a drum beat plays with them. They than go into "Boom Shalila"s as the music takes on a more smooth beat.)
[Bird's eye view of Ancient China. The scenes swoops by, showing all the regions and people in them. It is really like we're seeing it from a bird's point of view, because of the jerky twist and turns, but instead of seeing a bird, we see Cherry blossoms. As the beat smoothes out, we dive into the Konan palace. We swoop threw the halls until we come to a partly opened door. We glide in]
Yami no yozora ga futari wakatsu no wa
Yobiau kokoro hadaka ni suru tame
Kazari nugisute subete nakusu toki
Nanika ga mieru
The dark night sky divided us
To expose our hearts as they call out to one another
Cast off ornaments! Some things can only be seen
When you've lost everything.
[Hitomi sits on a bed her back to us. The camera pans around to show her face. She is crying as she clutches a picture we can't see to her chest. A close up comes to one of her tears as it falls from her cheek. We see Tamahome reflected in it, his face sad and confused. Cherry blossoms fly around him. We follow them off screen to see Uruki and Tasuki back to back. Both of them have their arms crossed and are looking very mad at each other as the blossoms blow around them. The camera pans until we only see Uruki's face. She looks sad and hurt now as she tries to look at Tasuki without turning around. The camera pans further and Tasuki looks much the same way. The blossoms blow off screen and we follow.]
Kaze yo watashi wa tachimukau
Yukou kurushimi no umi e to
Kizuna kono mune ni kizan de
Kudakeru nami wa hatenaku tomo
O wind, I rise and face you
I will go to the Sea of Suffering,
Bonds scar my chest,
The breaking waves are endless.
[The blossom circle a hooded figure standing on a rock in the middle of a stormy sea. We can't make out the face, only lips that are frowning as it watches the lighting streak across the sky. The waves crash high all around it, but it doesn't move nor is it really touched by the water. The blossoms move on, over the sea very quickly and onto land. They enter a strange castle and circle Tasuki, who is chained in a strange room. He is straining against the chains but they won't set him free. He seems to be screaming at someone we can't see. Than he stops, as if in shock. His eyes grow wide. There is a close up of his eye and the blossom enter his pupil. We follow.]
(There are some "Hayayaya"s here too)
Nani o motomete dare mo arasou no?
Nagashita chishio hana o sakaseru no?
Toutoki ashita kono te ni suru made
Deaeru hi made
What's gained with conflict?
Do flowers bloom from flowing blood?
Until tomorrow is in these hands,
Until the day we meet...
[We go threw an oddly colored tunnel as we follow the blossoms. On the side, we see the warriors of the gods in fights they have been in throughout the series (think about the tunnel in Willy Woaka and the Chocolate Factory without the water). When the actual singing starts again, the cherry blossoms come out on a peaceful valley. Chiharu and Gigi are picking flowers there. The come to a flower that looks just like the one that is mentioned in the Opening Song made from the little girl's tears. It looks like it bleeding. As they look on it, they see fire all around it. They look at each other once more and than up to the sky where the Cherry blossoms fly up. We see Autumn-Rose seemingly flying threw the air. She looks ready to cry as she slowly lands in Tatara's arms. He holds her, whispering words we can't hear to her. The blossoms circle the two of them before moving on, back to the sky.]
Kaze yo watashi wa tachimukau
Yukou kagayaki o mezashite
Inori kono mune ni dakishime
Samayou yami no you na mirai
O wind, I rise and face you.
I will go and aim for radiance.
I embrace prayer to my heart,
Wandering into the dark future.
[They come to circle Toroki as he sits brooding on the balcony of his castle. An image of a boy with his hair and eyes and the small girl, who had been crying in the burning village in the Opening song, appear behind him like ghost. They look on at him with solemn eyes. They slowly merge together and a ghost like Uruki stands behind him. She places her hand on his shoulder. He looks up as if he feels her presence. The blossoms move on back into the now dark sky. They fly across the full moon and we see Hitomi, hands together, head bowed as if in prayer. She suddenly looks up, eyes bright and determined, as if she finally understands what must be done.]
(Small singing thing here)
[The blossoms move on, simply dancing in the night sky.]
Kaze yo watashi wa osorenai
Ai koso mitsukedashita kiseki yo
Kimi wo shinjiteru yorokobi
Arashi wa ai ni kizuku tame ni fuiteru
O wind, I am not afraid
Love is the miracle I have discovered.
It's a joy believing in you.
The storm blows so we can realize love.
[The cherry blossoms shot straight up in the air and split into four different directions. We see Hitomi at the Shrine of Suzaku in her priestess robes, mounting the steps of the alter, the blossoms circle her. The scene suddenly shifts to show Chiharu at the Shrine of Seiryuu in her own priestess robes. She too is mounting the stops to the alter as the blossoms circle her. The scene shifts again to show Gigi in her priestess robes mounting the steps to the alter of the Genbu shrine. Another shift occurs and we see Autumn-Rose in her robes mounting the steps to the alter of the Byakko shrine. It shifts back to Hitomi who begins to read words we cannot hear as she glows red. Her face melts into Chiharu's, who is glowing with a blue aura. She melts into Gigi's face, who glows with a dark green aura. Gigi than melts into Autumn-Rose's face, who glows with a (color) aura. This continues, all the girls speaking at the same time, though we cannot hear them until the aura glow so bright it engulfs the screen. The cherry blossoms are all that are left, dancing on the white screen as the music dies away. Than, they too, fly off the screen.]
