Sunset Swish - Mozaic Kakera (48MB, for PSP/Quicktime)
Mozaic Kakera is the 2nd ED theme for Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch. The song is definitely the better half of the new OP/ED for that series. The full version sounds a bit weird to me since I'm not used to the elongated lyrics but in general it's still good. As I suspected, however, the lyrics used in the ED theme are actually the last few lines in the full song. The PV itself is okay. I generally dislike collage-styled graphics and this one is not an exception. I just don't think they blend well with the shots of the singers walking/performing on screen. Anyway, I've provided the PSP version of the video but if you want the fullscreen version, you can either check Butterfly Dreams or Tokyo Toshokan. If you're looking for the lyrics, the Kanji and Romaji versions are available after the cut as usual.
Kanji/Kana version
モザイクカケラ ひとつひとつ繋ぎ合わせて描いてゆく
あなたがくれた 出逢いと別れも
こんなはずじゃない そう思って眠り
目覚めればいつもの 変わらない空回り
意味も無く繰り返し
モザイクカケラ 拾い集めてた 「上手く生きる為の術」
歪なソレが美しく見えたんだ
強がりながら 躓きながら選び抜いた道の上で
剥がれ落ちては 埋まらないカケラ
それぞれの意地を敷き詰めた世界
誰にも譲れないモノがあるはずなのに
色取りを気にしてる
モザイクカケラ 様々な色や形に魅せられながら
望み過ぎてた 「若気の至り」 よ
心の隙間 愛のセメントを信じては流し込んで
決して溶け合うことのないカケラ
コントラストが綺麗だから 逆に凸凹でいい
なんとなく順番を待ってないで 自分なりの答えを見つけよう
モザイクカケラ 鮮やかに映す過去の嘘も過ちも
消してしまいたいと想えば想うほど
振り返ればそこにあるスタートライン未だ進んじゃいない
もう一度夢を拾い集めてみよう
モザイクカケラ ひとつひとつ繋ぎ合わせて描いてゆく
あなたがくれた 出逢いと別れも
Romaji version
Mozaiku* kakera hitotsu hitotsu tsunagiawasete egaite yuku
Anataga kureta deai to wakare mo
Konna hazu ja nai sou omotte nemuri
Mezamereba itsumo no kawaranai karamawari
Imi mo naku kurikaeshi
Mozaiku kakera hiroi atsumeteta "Umaku ikiru tame no sube"
Ibitsuna sore ga utsukushiku mietan da
Tsuyogarinagara tsumazukinagara erabinuita michi no ue de
Hagare ochite wa umaranai kakera
Sorezore no iji wo shikitsumeta sekai
Dare ni mo yuzurenai mono ga aru hazu nano ni
Irodori wo ki ni shiteru
Mozaiku kakera samazama na iro ya katachi ni miserarenagara
Nozomi sugiteta "Wakage no itari" yo
Kokoro no sukima ai no semento wo shinjite wa nagashikonde
Keshite tokeau koto no nai kakera
Kontorasuto* ga kirei dakara gyaku ni dekoboko de ii
Nantonaku junban wo matte nai de jibun nari no kotae wo mitsukeyou
Mozaiku kakera azayaka ni utsusu kako no uso mo ayamachi mo
Keshite shimaitai to omoeba omou hodo
Furikaereba soko ni aru sutaato-rain* mada susunja inai
Mou ichido yume wo hiroi atsumete miyou
Mozaiku kakera hitotsu hitotsu tsunagiawasete egaite yuku
Anata ga kureta deai to wakare mo

I really like this 2nd ED theme for code geass, on par or even better than Ali Project's - Yūkyō Seishunka which they used for the 1st ED song.
THough i CANNOT stand the OP Kaidoku Funou PV by Jinn. I kinda still prefer Colors. MEH o well.
i cant stand the 2nd OP either. it's not very suitable for the whole anime. COLORS was a better choice.
mosaic kakera is better than Ali Project's Yuukyo Seishunka but Ali Project is better than Jinn's OP. at least the feel is there.
Nice song but Japanese singers really need professional promo editor to make these PVs. Those screens look like they come out of 80s music video.
Thanks for the lyrics~! ^^
yupps! i agree with chewies and sharon. ^^ go lelouch!!
This ending is cool.
Where i download this song.
not to sound like a jerk, but I think you guys are really prejudiced and lemming-like. Just because others didn't like that song, people start getting the idea that the song is BAD. It's not, it's actually pretty well sung. I don't get why people could be so unbelieveably discriminating. It's not as if the song doesn't fit the show, either.
Or.....you might be one of those that just dislike kaidoku fuuka....then I've just waste a minute of your time =P sorry.
Thanks a lot for the PV of this great song!
Finally I have the full version of it.
To tell the truth I also don't like the new Opening but I think it's because I can't stand this kind of songs. COLORS was better for me because it had a darker note and this is how this series works. It's a dark series not a kind of childish show like many others. That's why I don't like the new Opening. It sounds to nice and sweet to me.
@karasu
I think you should not forget that people have different taste in nearly everything. Just because you like that song but a lot of other people don't like it you don't need to call them lemming-like or that they prejudicing. It's not discrimination to not a like a song.
I have no comment on the new OP. there are enough bashing of it. each to their preference.
i want to say the vocalist of sunset swish has a new look. this time, he looks mature and cool, i don't hate it
@karasu
Well we are entitled to our opinions mate. I just said i cant stand the song... thats my own opinion... not urs or anyone elses.
ANYWAY...
tried lookin up the Vid up in youtube.com but they got rid of it due to licencing. DL'd it and yer, it was aight, not great though.
when i say it wasn't great i meant the actual Music Vid which i didn't particularly enjoy, the song i love though.
I kinda enjoyed laughing at the 2nd OP tho...
@ Chewies, angel voice
hm...you guys probably skimmed through my comment:
"Or.....you might be one of those that just dislike kaidoku fuuka....then I've just waste a minute of your time =P sorry"
I kinda agree with Karasu, but not completely. Kaidoku Funou is a pretty good song, and to angel-voice, how is Kaidoku Fonou nice and sweet? Has alot of angst to it, but hey, if Colors is dark, then Otome we Do My Best desho? must be straight up evil.
hi! thanks for the romaji lyrics. i find the full version a bit weird but it's still ok.
Thanks for the lyric... Especially the complete one.. It's hard to find the lyric for this particular song... Just want to ask if it is ok to post the lyric somewhere else... with recognition of course
I like Kaidoku Funou. As a matter of fact, I think it suits Code Geass just fine. I do understand, however, that my liking it has more to do with it's personal appeal than it's overall qualitative appeal (not to say that it's not a well-done song).
Whoever misunderstood Karasu, please read more carefully next time.
I myself think that all the EP and OP are excellent ... only that the 2nd OP is less nice because it's so different.. However, i still love this dynamic song that appeared to be a fresh new music to most of us.
