Literal translation: Lost Lillies. Mayoeri being an old biblical term generally used for the term "lost sheep", and tachi being a plural form generally reserved for animals and people.

01. 開化の響
Kaika no Hibiki

(Opening up to the Sounds of Civilization)
A little instrumental intro.

02. 棘
*Toge

(Thorn)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Hitoki
Mmmm, fantastic! One of the best ever Kuroyume albums starts as it means to continue.
Romaji and English Translation

03. For Dear
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
Starts out a little awkwardly but soon takes off very pleasurably. Shin has a very warm and embracing guitar sound, and of course Hitokis bass playing is incredibly intricate and passionate.
Romaji and English Translation

04.**Masochist Organ
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
"I Love Masochist"..this is how this song begins and it also perfectly describes my feelings for it. The great thing about Kuroyume is that they know how to give each other space, and let the acoustic tensions between them develop. They don't clutter songs with unnecessary stuff. this song has a totally unique ambience too which goes way beyond what you'd expect for a goth type album.

05. *Aimed Blade At You
words: Kiyoharu, music: Hitoki
More brilliance. Dark but sweet, like bitter chocolate, and very sophisticated, sometimes almost unbearably so. Kiyos voice lacerates and soothes at the same time.

06. 百合の花束
*Yuri no Hanataba

(A Bunch of Lillies)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
Mmmmm, more amazing singing and incredible bass lines. Very impressive.
Romaji and English Translation

07.寡黙をくれた君と苦悩に満ちた僕
Kamoku o kureta kimi to kunou ni michita boku

(You who gave me reticence and I, overflowing with misery)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
I reviewed this one for Cruel, and although I do prefer this version, it's still not a big favourite.

08. **Neo Nude
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
Now I really do love this one. Yet again that indefinable ambience. It has less indulgence and more pure energy. That bass line is mind boggling!

09. autism -自閉症-
*Autism -jiheishou-

words: Kiyoharu, music: Hitoki
Strange but very good, this song grows on you over time. Slow motion, nervous ache..

10. *Romancia
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
A good example of the warmth of the Kuroyume guitar sound. Very lush and kinda serene and laid back at the same time.
Romaji and English Translation

11. *Utopia
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
Has to be Shin. Love this one too.
Romaji and English Translation

12.開化の響 [reprise]
