1st Set - Christmas Day Duet

[Seiya has the tablet set up so the edges of the video feed are also the edge of the room. Behind her is Lyra the Harp, seen at right, who is one of Lucy Heartphilia's ([personal profile] celestial_wizard) Celestial Spirit friends. She is at the ready with harp tuned and Seiya has no mic, but hey small room will echo just fine over the feed. Seiya is dressed in her stage suit (seen at left) that she came into Exsil with since this is indoors. All around them is a circle on the floor of unlit lanterns made from.]

Seiya: Good evening, everyone! It's Christmas Day and I know I've only known some of you a short time, but I think many of us have something in common: people we miss very much. Thanks to Miss Lyra here, I've been able to prepare a small set for all of you tonight. My name is Kou Seiya, of the band Three Lights in Japan, and I hope you enjoy our short Christmas Day show! [A quick turn off-camera as she whispers with a smile] Lea, Tsuzuki, if you please? [With that she walks back to stand by Lyra and nods] 1,2...

[The ring of lanterns light up one after another and Lyra begins playing the first song and Seiya introduces it.]

Seiya: This is "Christmas Eve" by Tatsuro Yamashita [Lyrics]


Seiya: Next will be "Winter Song" by Dreams Come True [Lyrics]


Seiya: Our last song was written by Lyra herself, and she has kindly allowed me to sing it for you all tonight as we bid farewell to the light of day. May you all keep the hope of this holiday in your hearts throughout our time together. Like stars twinkling in the night sky, we can come together like constellations and support one another. Someone special taught me that and I am glad to know her sentiment is shared here. So here it is - "Song of the Stars."

[English lyrics transliterated into a duet by [personal profile] frudence with creative licensing due to stuff Lea told her in this thread. Regular text is Seiya; italics in parenthesis are Lyra singing; bold is both.]

[When Seiya starts singing, if you are looking for any deeper meaning to the music, or Seiya as a person, or really enjoy the music, you can see a backlit visage of Seiya's princess in your mind per her Musical Telepathy Ability.]

Hey there my old friend, / I can see you (You see me?)
Standing right there / just beyond my reach
Hey there my old friend, / I will swear this (You swear it?)
We have a bond that will not / ever break

When you're out walking / (The wilderness is too vast...)
You're holding back all your tears- / You're so close to tomorrow!
For your sake I'll be the star / (From my childhood...)
Shining a light / and guiding you home

For your sake I'll sing this song / (You wrote it for me?)
All that I ask: / smile once more

[During the instrumental from the video]
Hey there my old friend, / I can see you (You see me?)
Standing right there / just beyond my reach
Hey there my old friend,
/ I will swear this (You swear it?)
We have a bond that will not / ever break

[Both during the ending vocalization from the video]
For your sake I'll be the star / looking ever on
Shining a light / and guiding you home


[Japanese lyrics from here]

[And with that Seiya and Lyra bow, then let the lanterns dim and fade out. They will, however, keep the feed on to respond, after they turn on the regular lights.]
