Notiz	Credits goes to greyornament@Moon-Struck The title of this song, “Setsugekka” is a phrase that originates in old Japanese and Chinese poetry, the first recorded usage being in a poem by Chinese poet Bai Juyi, “雪月花時最憶君- At times of snow, moon or flowers, I think of you the most“. The phrase became a popular theme in Japanese art and literature to represent both beauty and the passage of time through the seasons. GACKT has said that he would personally translate the title as “Three Beautiful Things”. ¹ The word I’ve variously translated as “starred” “scattering” and “setting”, 散りばめる chiribameru actually means to “stud” or “set” jewels all over something. Unfortunately there’s no single English word that carries that concept. There are two possible kanji that can be used to write this word, he chose the one that means “scatter”. ² This line is written in archaic Japanese, similar to that used in the Heian era poetry anthology Man’yoshu that GACKT has mentioned as an inspiration.
