“One day, if I lose this beautiful voice, even so, will you still love me?”
—Author's comment

"Wings of the four seasons" is an original song by teamOS.

A crane (Rin) was rescued by a man (Len) when hunting. Grateful, the crane visited him in her human form and the two fell in love and married. But one day the man fell sick, and because they were unable to afford medicine, the crane began to weave cloth with her own feathers and sell the cloth for money.

Following the concept of its album If the World, the song is based on the Japanese folktale The Grateful Crane. It has reached the Hall of Fame, and it has surpassed 100,000 views on YouTube, as well.

舞い落ちる粉雪が	maiochiru konayuki ga

二人、身を寄せ合う　冬の夜	futari, mi wo yoseau fuyu no yoru

「出会った日も、雪だった」	"deatta hi mo, yuki datta"
あなたが　微笑みつぶやく	anata ga hohoemi tsubuyaku
囲炉裏火(いろりび)に火照(ほて)った顔を	iroribi ni hotetta kao wo
大きな袖の影に隠した	ookina sode no kage ni kakushita

春の訪れを	haru no otozure wo
息吹の歓び　さえずる鳥達と　歌う	ibuki no yorokobi saezuru tori-tachi to utau
「綺麗な声だね」と　あなたが言った	"kirei na koe da ne" to anata ga itta
ただそれが、その言葉が、嬉しくて	tada sore ga, sono kotoba ga, ureshikute

「いつか、綺麗な声が出なくなっても、	"itsuka, kirei na koe ga denaku natte mo
それでも、私を愛してくれますか？」	soredemo watashi wo aishite kuremasu ka?"

明くる日も　明くる日も	akuruhi mo akuruhi mo
ただ、ひたすらに機(はた)を織る	tada, hitasura ni hata wo oru
儚き紅葉(もみじ)の葉のように	hakanaki momiji no ha no youni
あなたの命を、散らせはしない	anata no inochi wo chirase wa shinai

季節は流れて	kisetsu wa nagarete
夏の終わりを告げる鈴虫が　リン、と鳴く	natsu no owari wo tsugeru suzumushi ga rin, to naku
「綺麗な指だね」と　傷だらけの手を握る、その手が	"kirei na yubi da ne" to kizu darake no te wo nigiru, sono te ga
あまりにも冷たくて･･･	amari ni mo tsumetakute…

「いつか綺麗な指がなくなっても、	"itsuka kirei na yubi ga nakunatte mo
それでも私を愛してくれますか？」	soredemo watashi wo aishite kuremasu ka?"
「当たり前だよ」って　咳(せ)き込みながら	"atarimae da yo" tte sekikomi nagara
痛む指を　大きな手が包んだ	itamu yubi wo ookina te ga tsutsunda

昼も夜も　機を織り続けて	hiru mo yoru mo hata wo oritsuzukete
早く早く、薬を買わなければ･･･	hayaku hayaku, kusuri wo kawanakereba...
もう少し、あと少し、紅葉(もみじ)が散る前に	mou sukoshi, ato sukoshi, momiji ga chiru mae ni
この指が止まるまで･･･　この羽が、尽きるまで･･･	kono yubi ga tomaru made… kono hane ga, tsukiru made...

――嗚呼　落日の風――	――aa rakujitsu no kaze――
――無情に朽ちていく実の――	――mujou ni kuchite iku mi no――
――灯火を揺らし　落とす――	――tomoshibi wo yurashi otosu――

「いつか、私がヒトじゃなくなっても、	"itsuka, watashi ga hito ja naku natte mo,
あなたは、私を愛してくれますか？」	anata wa, watashi wo aishite kuremasu ka?"
怖くて真実は告げられぬまま	kowakute shinjitsu wa tsugerarenu mama
そっと　ひとり、最後の羽を折り･･･	sotto hitori, saigo no hane wo ori...

「当たり前だよ」って　僕は笑い	"atarimae da yo" tte boku wa warai
翼を失くした君を抱きしめ、言った	tsubasa wo nakushita kimi wo dakishime, itta
綺麗に羽ばたいた　あの日の鶴を	kirei ni habataita ano hi no tsuru wo
ずっと、今でも覚えているよ	zutto, ima demo oboete iru yo

そして　変わらず君を　愛しているよ	soshite kawarazu kimi wo aishite iru yo
