恋せよ乙女花の命は儚く美しい
なりたいものになれる魔法かけてあげる
揺れるその眼差し微熱が見せる幻は
悲しいほどに完璧な世界、笑えないよ
夜何かが起きる予感か扉を叩く
月明かりが消えてパレードの始まりはニュームーン
キラキラ光る空にはフューチャーぬくるめいた流星群
トキメキ満ちていく君の引力に気づいてしまった
始まりはニュームーン
Romanji
Koi se yo otome hana no inochi ha hakanaku utsukushii
Naritaimono no nareru mahou kaketeageru
Yureru sono manazashi binetsu ga miseru maboroshi ha
kanashii hodo ni kanpeki na sekai, waraenaiyo
Konya nanika ga okiru yokan ga tobira tataku
Tukiakari ga kiete pareedo no hajimari ha nyuumuun
Kirakira hikaru sora niha fyuuchaa nukurumeita ryuuseigun
Tokimeki michiteiku kimi no inryoku ni kiduiteshimatta
Hajimari ha nyuumuun
English
Fall in love, the life of a maiden's flower is fleeting and beautiful
You can fill it with the magic to turn into whatever it wants to be
Vision wavers, as you see the illusions brought on by your fever
For all its sadness, this world is perfect, you can't sneer at it
Something is happening tonight, this premonition is knocking on the door
The moonlight disappears, the parade begins with a new moon
The shimmering sky is the future, a dazzling meteor shower
The throbbing of your heart makes it wax, as you realized your own gravity
The beginning is a new moon
This song has a lot of meaning to it! I don’t really get how people don’t like it ._.
I agree this song is thoughtful and serious which I think this series is really about.
Exactly!
I think why some people dont like it, is because the music is too mushy, not the song but the music, its too soft, unlike moon pride in which that song was powerful and the music was nice.
Exactly, Argo.
Both “Moon Pride” and “Moonlight Densetsu” were faster paced and more… Empowering. This song, lyrical-meaning aside, does not/can not do justice to the powerful and beautiful action-filled animation. If the animation were some soft montage of slowly flowing images, perhaps, but it is not.
I actually can’t wait to hear the versions sung by MomoClo and the other gal. In truth, the song has grown on me, but I stand by my original opinion:
This song belongs in the ending credits and Eternal Eternity deserves to be the actual opening.
I like it. When you think how Toei screwed up with first two seasons, Fall in Love With the New Moon is like kind of promise of trying to fix things and bring BSSM on proper level of celebration as series that changed much
That “other gal” is Horie Mitsuko – she was Galaxia in 90s series.
I love this opening with all my heart. Thanks for the translation :)
