🎵 Miyu-san's reply poem 🎵
Blown by the wind on the veranda, looking up at the sky
Shall I go to meet you with oden in hand?
🎵 Noncha-san's reply poem 🎵
I entrusted the message that I want to see you and that I love you
to the sheep-shaped clouds, you know
🎵 Tsuru-san's Response Poem 🎵
Feeling the sound of the waves, mackerel clouds
I take one in my hand and go to meet you
🎵 Yuzu-san's Response Poem 🎵
I'll go meet you on the evening I find mackerel clouds
Let's pretend we made such a promise
🎵 rira-san's Response Poem 🎵
When I conveyed my feelings for you to the blue sky
The setting sun dyed deep red and hid away

My desire to see you, overflowing to the brim
Shines as silver scales
