best fucking piece of music
captures a very unique, familiar atmosphere
translated lyrics to the 2nd song as a mood setter: (the persona sees that their friend is going to kill themselves, but both put on happy faces and pretend like nothing is wrong)
give it a listen.
#2: 手を振って (Waving your hand)
You saw the end, but you still were laughing while waving your hand
I felt it too, so I waved my hand along, deceiving my own tears
You were still in the midst of an end, reaching a conclusion without knowing why
I felt it, and so I smiled trying to deceive something
You saw the end, and so, you waved your hand with "goodbye, see you"
You wished to die, and I left your hand, understanding that
But it's okay, that alone is fine,
We're still alive, after all
In this very moment, plain and still,
You're still alive;
But it's okay, just with that
We can be alive to this day,
In that very moment, plain and still,
You were smiling, waving your hand
