    A lonely song. I like the vocals.

    It's a simpler version of a 2021 song which had more arrangement. I prefer this piano version.

    She also sang Skies Forever Blue (bittersweet video game themed song) and The Greatest Living Show (abuse themed, beautiful hand animated music video) around 2023, collaborating with Toby Fox of Undertale video game fame.

    From the video description:

    ・・・LYRICS ENG・・・

    If I were that poet
    Which color of ink to choose - to write my twisted love to you ?

    If I were that poet
    What kind of words to sing - to describe my tore heart ?

    The beautiful dawn
    And the shooting stars

    They must have killed someone, they must have killed someone.

    Beautiful sky is so gentle and cruel,
    smiling like nothing had happened.
    With the innocent flesh blue...

    If I were that poet
    How sweetly can I whisper the nonsense words of love.

    If I were that poet
    What kind of play to write, and beautificate my decayed and miserable figure,

    That bright light
    And the blue of the sea
    -Who did you kill? Who did you kill.

    Flowers bloom beautifully as making me sentimental
    fragile but so strong,
    Not afraid of anything, scenting nobly
    With the bright life

    That season
    And that scent
    Will be the cause of my death.
    They will kill me one day.

    The clear blue sky - which makes me feel like crying -
    is always too beautiful and lovely, but devious.
    It's seems laughing, like
    "NOTHING, had happened.
    -NOTHING was here."

    That was genuinely lovely. Thanks for sharing it, @talklittle.

    Thank you for sharing! I discovered Itoki Hana because of The Greatest Living Show, and Cause of my Death is one of my favorite songs by her. It always had a solemn tone, but this version adds...

    Thank you for sharing! I discovered Itoki Hana because of The Greatest Living Show, and Cause of my Death is one of my favorite songs by her. It always had a solemn tone, but this version adds such a somber and lonely element to it.
