“This is my Game. And I only allow two things. Flawless calculations… and beauty!” - Sho Minamimoto
My first time trying to do, like, some sort of orchestral metal jam, I guess. I broke out the guzheng for this one, because I could, and also because I felt like it would be a fun idea to do some lion drums. Because Leo Cantus. Get it? (So zetta lame…)
Anyway, Minamimoto is by far one of the most memorable characters in the series - I mean, they all are, but he stands out particularly. Dude really owns his schtick. So I really, really wanted to cover Transformation, so I did, and that’s that.

Fragments of those memories are scratching my nerves
And I am hearing their voice in deepest reverb
I’ve got to get out of this frame before I’m tamed
Why can’t you leave me alone, for just one night?
I crack open my secret and I see them come in flocks
(Is this what you’re searching for?)
One after another, they’re looking for the sweetest block
(Are you scared to know the truth?)
Build it up then, yeah, tear it down
(Is this what you’re searching for?)
Amuse those nine muses making breakdown noise
(Are you scared to know the truth?)
Now, open your eyes, the pieces are all over
Now, you should accept this: it is over
You, keep your eyes on this corruption
Come on, yes, you should watch this transformation
How could I ever be so credulous, without a doubt?
I kept on walking till today, I saw this sprout
Between the black dirt it stood with all its strength
But you smashed it up, never revealing its depth
Fragments of those memories are scratching my nerves
(Is this what you’re searching for?)
And I am hearing their voice in deepest reverb
(Are you scared to know the truth?)
I’ve got to get out of this frame before I’m tamed
(Is this what you’re searching for?)
Why can’t you leave me alone, for just one night?
(Are you scared to know the truth?)
Now, open your eyes, put yourself together
Now, you should accept this: it is over
You, keep your eyes on this confusion
Come on, yes, you should watch this transformation
Open up your eyes
(Open up your eyes)
Transformation
Transformation
Open up your eyes
(Open up your eyes)
Transformation
Transformation
Now, open your eyes, the pieces are all over
Now, you should accept this: it is over
Now, open your eyes, put yourself together
Now, you should accept this: it is over
You, keep your eyes on this corruption
You, keep your eyes on this commotion
You, keep your eyes on this confusion
Come on, yes, you should watch this transformation
Is this what you’re searching for?
Are you scared to know the truth?
Is this what you’re searching for?
Are you scared to know the truth?
Is this what you’re searching for?
Are you scared to know the truth?
Is this what you’re searching for?
Are you scared to know the truth?
