“Even so, this flower will bloom in our hearts.”
—Author's comment

This song was uploaded onto Niconico and YouTube on February 17, 2015. It has entered the Hall of Fame.

"Akaito" is the sequel to Sarishinohara and Yonjuunana, being the third song in the series.

The song's title refers to an East Asian belief called the "red string of fate." The legend says that two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical thread may stretch or tangle, but never tear.^[1]

Lyrics[]

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
あれから一体どれくらい　君との距離は　開いてしまったの	are kara ittai dore kurai kimi to no kyori wa hiraite shimatta no
街中に今流れてる　あぁ　この歌声を　ぼくは知っている	machijuu ni ima nagareteru aa kono utagoe wo boku wa shitte iru

君を巡る “事情” に狂う毎日	kimi wo meguru "jijou" ni kuruu mainichi
向き合うことだって　出来なくなってた	mukiau koto datte dekinaku natteta
行く宛のない手紙は死にきれないよって	iku ate no nai tegami wa shinikirenai yo tte
文字に成り損ねたまま　君を探してた	moji ni nari sokoneta mama kimi wo sagashiteta

なんど君に恋して　なんど君を恨んで	nando kimi ni koishite nando kimi wo urande
固く結んだ糸　僕を優しく縛る	kataku musunda ito boku wo yasashiku shibaru
だから言えなくて　今更君に触れたくて　苦しくて	dakara ienakute imasara kimi ni furetakute kurushikute
何度も言いかけた　さよなら	nando mo iikaketa sayonara

全部邪魔になる気がした　この手紙もそう　悩むことさえ	zenbu jama ni naru ki ga shita kono tegami mo sou nayamu koto sae
変わらないものはないなら　あぁ　僕らこのまま変わってゆくの	kawaranai mono wa nai nara aa bokura kono mama kawatte yuku no

君からの音沙汰は　ずっと無いまま	kimi kara no otosata wa zutto nai mama
空白の時に思いを馳せた	kuuhaku no toki ni omoi wo haseta
それぞれに見ていた　新しいトビラ	sorezore ni mite ita atarashii tobira
その手でギュッと押し開けた　君が眩しかった	sono te de gyutto oshiaketa kimi ga mabushikatta

まるで子供みたいに　繋いだ手をひいて	marude kodomo mitai ni tsunaida te wo hiite
走り出しそうになる　君の真っ直ぐな瞳	hashiridashisou ni naru kimi no massugu na hitomi
だから言えなくて　今更君に逢いたくて　苦しいよ	dakara ienakute imasara kimi ni aitakute kurushii yo

書いては消したラブレターが　思い出と共に重なった	kaite wa keshita raburetaa ga omoide to tomo ni kasanatta
「君を守る」と本気でそう思ってた　最初の人なんだ	"kimi wo mamoru" to honki de sou omotteta saisho no hito na nda

なんど君に恋して　なんど君を恨んで	nando kimi ni koishite nando kimi wo urande
固く結んだ糸　僕を優しく縛る	kataku musunda ito boku wo yasashiku shibaru
だから言わなくちゃ　それでも君が好きだよって	dakara iwanakucha soredemo kimi ga suki da yo tte

ねぇ　一人で寂しいって　いっそ死にたいよって	nee hitori de sabishii tte isso shinitai yo tte
素直になる事で君を困らせた夜	sunao ni naru koto de kimi wo komaraseta yoru
もう大丈夫　例えどんな未来が待っていても	mou daijoubu tatoe donna mirai ga matte ite mo
決して切らせはしない　赤糸	kesshite kirase wa shinai akaito
