東風(こち)吹く 季節の
桜の下
私の温もりに 笑顔溢れし君
春の思ひ出
月の満ち欠け 私の心
満月の夜に 照らされし
隠しきれぬ 相聞歌
忘れえぬ夏
「花」というものは 日に日に
色を失くしてゆくのに
「恋」というものは 日に日に
色を増してゆく
叶う事なき 「遠き約束」
もみぢ葉は 紅く色づく
恋ごころ
秋高し 夕暮れに
二人で奏でし 恋の音は
深き記憶
雪は音を消し去り 降り積もり
寒さと共に
君の命も 消し去った
愛しき君の名を叫ぶ
心も凍りし 寒空の下
「花」というものは 日に日に
色を失くしてゆくのに
「恋」というものは 日に日に
色を増してゆく
忘れず生きる 「遠き約束」
花は枯れて 「種」に成り
恋は枯れて 「心」に成る
君亡き後の 恋しき日々は
私の心の一部と成りて
愛(かな)しき夜でも
私はそれを
永遠(とわ)に温める

[Comment]
I was approached by the artist Watanabe Hikaru to collaborate with him. This is the song I created for that purpose.
Watanabe has a truly wonderful sense of art.
He is an incredible person who has won numerous awards in various artistic fields, including painting, origami, and original calligraphy.
The theme of the collaboration was "The Tale of Genji" to match Watanabe's work (painting, origami).
I usually write lyrics to suit modern times, so to be honest, I was very nervous.
And above all...
I'm ashamed to say that I had never heard of "The Tale of Genji".
First of all, when I was imagining the paintings that Watanabe had painted, "purple" was one of the themes, so I wanted the chorus to express "color". I remembered a poem I wrote a few years ago, which is a piece that I hold very dear. That is the chorus of this song.
I also used archaic words (memories, going, maple leaves, etc.) and seasonal words (east wind, autumn high, etc.) in the lyrics.
For a more detailed explanation, please see the "explanation" in my article on the "note" app.

This time, I created an old-fashioned song, which was a very valuable experience for me.

HANASAKI MEGUMI
Megumi Hanasaki Since 2021, after becoming ill, words began to overflow from within me and never stopped. I express poetry, words, and sound across various social media platforms. From April 2025, I began using the name Megumi Hanasaki exclusively for my lyric writing and artist activities. My YouTube channel is titled Songs of Megumi Hanasaki Even now, while continuing to battle illness, I weave words with deep gratitude for all the people who support me. My YouTube channel is titled Songs of Megumi Hanasaki. Even now while continuing to battle illness I weave words with deep gratitude for all the people who support me. There were many times I almost gave up, but I chose the path of doing my best with what I can and living my life fully. From October 2025, I began a new journey as a Poetry Music Artist, incorporating a form of expression that combines my work as a poet, lyricist, narrator, and essayist. Poetry Music is a rare musical genre that blends lyrics, spoken word, and melody. I feel that the current music release system in Japan tends to overlook the importance of lyrics. As an artist who lives with words, I aim to share their beauty and depth, and to keep reminding people how powerful words can be. am always searching for words that can encourage myself. Along this path, if even one person touches my work and it brings a little color to their life, that would mean the world to me. I'm always grateful. I'm sending you a bouquet of words...
