Lyric

In the final years of the Muromachi era,
the imperial palace was a place of quiet tension -
a world where political power shifted like shadows on a cold night.

At its center stood Tomiko Hino,
a woman burdened with both influence and isolation.
Her very presence stirred the ambitions of the age,
becoming one of the many sparks that would lead to the Ōnin War.

Expected to be strong,
forced to stand alone,
yet unable to cast away desire, pride, or longing -
Tomiko's conflicted heart forms the emotional core of this song.

A soaring female vocal carries her silent cry,
while the expressive "crying guitar" embraces and elevates the drama,
painting a portrait of a frozen flower blooming in the darkness of the palace.

A story of strength and solitude -
and of a woman who tried to bloom
even in a world of ice.
