Bandiria Travellers

The word "Bandiria" is a play on "bandphilia". =Lyrics=

Japanese
遠い昔にこの声は響けよ 春間近のあの丘の上から

岩へと枝と根を張る木々の 秘法で行く船に乗り 思い出せばキミを呼ぶよ いつか会うと遥か

キミ別れにこの唄と響けよ 遠いあの地のエコーに身を寄せて

陽はいつか暮れて海へ 知られずまた波に咲く 水面の花にキミを見るよ 揺れて消えた遥か

霧は地図と虫が歌う 破裂のような夢は降りて キミをまたあの日へ あー

空横切る水瓶の星団 陽は奇跡と踊り手を囃して

四方を夜に隠した 眠りの秘儀でなお行く 思い出せばキミに触れるよ 今も遥かここに

思い出せばキミに触れるよ 今も遥かここに

Tooimukashi ni kono koe wa hibike yo Haru majika no ano oka no ue kara

Iwa e to ne wo haru kigi no Hihou de yuku fune ni nori Omoidaseba kimi wo yobu yo Itsuka deau to haruka

Kimi wakare ni kono uta to hibike yo Tooi ano chi no ekoo ni mi wo yosete

Hi wa itsuka kurete umi e Shirarezu mata nami ni saku Minamo no hana ni kimi wo miru yo Yurete kieta haruka

Kiri wa chizu to mushi ga utau Haretsu no you na yume wa furite Kimi yo mata ano hi e aa

Sora yokogiru mizugame no seidan Hi wa kiseki to odorite wo hayashite

Shihou wo yoru ni kakushita Nemuri no higi denao iku Omoidaseba kimi ni fureru yo Ima mo haruka koko ni

Omoidaseba kimi ni fureru yo Ima mo haruka koko ni

=Versions= Hirasawa had the participating string section wait until sunrise to perform their part. Remixed, subtitled "Physical Navigation Version", with the chorus placed after the intro, new percussion lines playing throughout the song and the guitar solo double-tracked. Short instrumental mix of the Virtual Rabbit version. The horns have far more prominence in this version, with a new intro led entirely by them that overlaps with the first "lalalalala" and continued presence in usually quieter early stanzas. Drums back the choral segment, and instead of fading out, the song closes off with more horns. A symphonic, orchestral, string-oriented style arrangement. An electronic intro was added and the guitar solo was slightly altered. Hirasawa released 5 sketches of it on "The Aggregated Past KANGENSHUGI 8760 HOURS" website as he worked on it. This version was also released as a free MP3. Live performance of the Kangen Shugi arrangement.
