Venus

=Lyrics=

=Versions= An acoustic ballad which touches briefly on the concept of philosophy (In philosophy, Venus is associated with water and the ocean and is the guide through the fearful world of the unconscious, sharing a similar thematic to the song's lyrics), which Hirasawa would later explore with Philosopher's Propeller. Used as an insert song in "Pursuit", the second episode of Detonator Orgun. Features a full band with orchestra arrangement and a wind synth-led extended coda, created mostly so that Hirasawa would have time to change costumes mid-show. Performed as part of TAKA's solo set, with Hirasawa as guest. A symphonic, orchestral, string-oriented style arrangement. Hirasawa released 5 sketches of it on "The Aggregated Past KANGENSHUGI 8760 HOURS" website as he worked on it. Live performance of the Kangen Shugi arrangement. Covered by Jun Togawa and Missa Fukuma (sister of Hajime Fukuma).
