This was my first encounter with Nana Mizuki's music. Such a powerful voice for such a petite lady! I was a fan of her before I even got to watch Shugo Chara! Little did I know that she's dubbing Hoshina Utau in the anime, so as a result I was compelled to watch it and eventually liked it because of her.I both love the insert songs included in the Shugo Chara! Character Song CD for Hoshina Utau containing the following track list which you could download right away!1 Meikyuu Butterfly2 Blue Moon3 Meikyuu Butterfly (Vocal Off)4 Blue Moon (Vocal Off)**********************************************************************************Ryvius' Rating: 8,5/10 What a cool song! Thank you again Fairchild! I'm huge fan of Nana Mizuki. She has such an incredible voice... I loved her songs for Basilisk! Meikyuu Butterfly is one of those songs that have an incredible energy and dynamic at the same time... I also think that the heavy techno beats don't hurt the song at all. I love the piano and the electric guitar. They make the song even more epic! The organ intro also feels very powerful.**********************************************************************************Of the two singles, I love Meikyuu Butterfly the most. Why so?

[2]The shards of love in the precious thoughts I cradled in my armsweren’t of our destinationWhen the time comes when you’re also sleeping somewhere,are you dreaming sweet dreams?Kiss me as we rest in the starry sky; the ‘good girl’ has said good nightDon’t watch, don’t seizethe lost butterflyThe wings in your concealed chest sing of freedomeven for the people who can’t see themThe face reflected in the mirror wasa crybaby back then,but I’m not a child now.I undo my now-long hairMy chest tightens as I realizea sweet fragrance is tempting meThe lost words were magically put on my lipsDon’t watch, don’t seizethe lost butterflyGo past the precious things, go past the important thingsBreak and destroy the key to my heartI continue to search for my own storyUntil the blindfold that conceals my fate is removedI’ll pierce through these clouds with my wings and go to the distant tomorrowDon’t watch, don’t seizethe lost butterflyThese targeted, feathered wings will take a long leap [3]unseen, out of your concealed chest.Source: (English trans) cjblackwing
