Shugo Chara! Character Song CD: Hoshina Utau [Mizuki Nana]

This was my first encounter with Nana Mizuki's music. Such a powerful voice for such a petite lady! I was a fan of her before I even got to watch Shugo Chara! Little did I know that she's dubbing Hoshina Utau in the anime, so as a result I was compelled to watch it and eventually liked it because of her.


I both love the insert songs included in the Shugo Chara! Character Song CD for Hoshina Utau containing the following track list which you could download right away!

1 Meikyuu Butterfly
2 Blue Moon
3 Meikyuu Butterfly (Vocal Off)
4 Blue Moon (Vocal Off)

Ryvius' Rating:
8,5/10 What a cool song! Thank you again Fairchild! I'm huge fan of Nana Mizuki. She has such an incredible voice... I loved her songs for Basilisk! Meikyuu Butterfly is one of those songs that have an incredible energy and dynamic at the same time... I also think that the heavy techno beats don't hurt the song at all. I love the piano and the electric guitar. They make the song even more epic! The organ intro also feels very powerful.

Of the two singles, I love Meikyuu Butterfly the most. Why so? See this fan-made video I've found over Youtube!



It really gives off a good feeling humming to this tune!
Need the lyrics? I've got you covered!

Open your shiny eyes in the silent night
fushigi na yoru maiorita

English

Open your shiny eyes in the silent night [1]
The wonderous night swooped down
filled with the sound of footsteps
from a stealthy, desirous black cat’s paws.

The floating silhouette in the moonlight
said ‘Let’s go this way’ with a beckoning smile
A shadow of desire covered the squirming city
as the wandering angel descended. [2]

The shards of love in the precious thoughts I cradled in my arms
weren’t of our destination

When the time comes when you’re also sleeping somewhere,
are you dreaming sweet dreams?
Kiss me as we rest in the starry sky; the ‘good girl’ has said good night

Don’t watch, don’t seize
the lost butterfly
The wings in your concealed chest sing of freedom
even for the people who can’t see them

The face reflected in the mirror was
a crybaby back then,
but I’m not a child now.
I undo my now-long hair

My chest tightens as I realize
a sweet fragrance is tempting me
The lost words were magically put on my lips

Don’t watch, don’t seize
the lost butterfly
Go past the precious things, go past the important things
Break and destroy the key to my heart

I continue to search for my own story
Until the blindfold that conceals my fate is removed
I’ll pierce through these clouds with my wings and go to the distant tomorrow

Don’t watch, don’t seize
the lost butterfly
These targeted, feathered wings will take a long leap [3]
unseen, out of your concealed chest.
