When Flowers Fall
Tags: @ilykii @blacky-rose @rindouchanchan @sh4nn
that day, was the worst day in the lives of the Haitani brothers.
It was a festival, in Shibuya, so they were already in enemy territory. but Y/n insisted, saying her friend was waiting for her.
Honestly, Ran felt as if he should had put his foot down and said no, but he just couldn’t. he never could say no to his baby sister.
all day, until the sunset, there was a nagging feeling in the very back of his brain. but, nothing would possibly happen, right? they’re in public, too open for for a shooter or something.
so he tried to relax, playing some games to win Y/n a big plush dolphin bigger than her entire body. he felt her hand briefly leave his shirt and thought nothing of it.
Oh how stupid that was.
not even moments later, screaming.
Rindou was the first to react, dashing off. Ran following after quickly.
that’s when they saw it, a green van with blacked out windows, and no plate.
And a cream robed figure throwing their little sister in the van and jumping in, before driving off.
no.
No.
No, this couldn’t be happening.
Rindou fell to his knees, screaming in anguish, pounding the pavement. his tears streamed down his face.
quite fittingly, moments later, the sky went dark and it started raining.
----------
Years went by, and the pain never lessened.
Rindou started doing drugs with Sanzu Haruichiyou. Ran started Binge-drinking.
Her room was left untouched, the plushie Ran won her that day on her bed, dust seated over everything.
Her pjs that were picked out for that night when they got home were set out on the foot chest of her bed.
her shoddily sewn cat plush deflated and held the slight smell of lavender. the body spray her brothers would mist her with, but now brought anger to their hearts.
but they never blamed each other, but rather themselves, and the damn cultists that took her.
thats all they learned about the people who took her, that they were worshipers of some ‘pure world’ ideal, and kidnapped children from all over.
to the brothers, they thought, maybe if they never went to that festival, maybe she’d still be there.
If they had just not went to see that damn flower falling festival.
It’s all my fault.

35+ Awesome Japanese Winter Words
Fuyu (冬)
Fuyu is the Japanese word for winter. It’s one of the four seasons in Japan. The other Japanese seasons are haru (spring), natsu (summer) and aki (autumn).
Samui (寒い)
Samui means cold in Japanese – and it is one of the most useful Japanese words for winter! If you’re in Japan during the winter months, you will hear almost every conversation start with samui desu ne – cold, isn’t it!
Yuki (雪)
Yuki is the Japanese word for snow. Snow is a symbol of winter in Japan, the same as many other northern hemisphere countries.
Japan is a large country with several different climates, so it doesn’t snow everywhere in Japan. The northern regions (especially Hokkaido) can be covered in snow for several months each year. But other parts of Japan (especially south of Tokyo) rarely see snow. Still, snow is a popular theme for winter cards, art and decorations.
Here are a few other snow related words in Japanese for you:
大雪 (oo yuki) – heavy snow
初雪 (hatsu yuki) – the first snow of the season
雪遊び（yuki asobi） – playing in the snow
雪合戦 (yuki gassen) – snow ball fight
雪祭り (yuki matsuri) – snow festival. The most famous snow festival is held in Sapporo, Hokkaido each February.
Kazahana (風花)
Kazahana is the Japanese word for snow flurry. If you are studying kanji, you might recognise the two characters that make up this word – 風 (kaza, wind) and 花 (hana, flowers). So a flurry of snowflakes is like little white flowers drifting in the wind. What a romantic image!
Ski (スキー)
Skiing is a popular winter hobby in Japan. The Japanese word スキー (ski) has been borrowed from other languages, so it’s easy to remember! It is written in katakana – the Japanese script used for foreign loan words.
Yukimi (雪見)
If you already know something about Japanese culture, you probably know that in Japan, people love to honour the changing seasons with different rituals that celebrate nature. Maybe you’ve heard of hanami – the spring time tradition of going to view the cherry blossoms. Well, yukimi means viewing the snow! Japanese people will often take the time to drink tea while admiring the snow.
Yukidaruma (雪だるま)
Yukidaruma means snowman in Japanese. Just like any other country, children love to build cute snowmen when it snows.The first part of the word, yuki, means snow. The second part, daruma, is a kind of round Japanese doll. Yukidaruma do look more like a ‘daruma’ than a ‘man’!
Bonus word: yukiusagi (雪うさぎ)
As well as snowmen, Japanese children love to make yukiusagi – snow bunnies! Usagi means rabbit in Japanese. Yuki usagi are smaller and easier to make than snowmen. Usually they are decorated with red berries for eyes and green leaves for ears.
Shirokuma (白くま)
Shirokuma means polar bear. Literally, it means white (shiro) bear (kuma). There aren’t any polar bears living in Japan, but a lot of people love them because they look cute, so they are kind of a symbol of winter and snow.
Kurisumasu (クリスマス)
Kurisumasu is Christmas in Japanese. It’s written in katakana, and of course it comes from the English word Christmas. Merry Christmas in Japanese is メリークリスマス (merii kurisumasu).
Christmas is not a big event in Japan because the country does not have a big Christian population. In fact, December 25th is a normal working day.
And it’s not considered a family day like in other countries. Christmas (or more especially, Christmas Eve) are actually thought of as romantic days in Japan! Christmas Eve is the hottest date night of the year – similar to Valentine’s day.
However, lately celebrating a western-style Christmas is becoming more and more popular in Japan.
Learn about some unique Japanese Christmas traditions here!
Oshougatsu (お正月)
Oshougatsu is New Year in Japanese. As we mentioned, New Year is much bigger than Christmas in Japan. In fact, many people consider it to be the most important holiday in the year. A new year represents a fresh start, and new hopes for the year ahead.
Most companies in Japan are closed from January 1 to January 3, and sometimes longer, to allow employees to spend time with their families.
The New Year period is typically a family time in Japan, with lots of traditions and special food.
Here are some other words associated with the New Year in Japan:
大晦日 (oomisoka) – Oomisoka means New Year’s Eve in Japanese.
年越しそば (toshikoshi soba) – Toshikoshi soba is one of many traditional dishes served at New Year in Japan. Soba are buckwheat noodles, and toshikoshi is another word for New Year. They are traditionally eaten on New Years Eve because the long shape symbolises long life.
おせち (osechi) – This is traditional food served on New Year’s day. All the ingredients of the meal have some special meaning for good luck over the next year.
初夢 (hatsuyume) – the first dream of the New Year
年玉 (otoshidama) – New Year’s gift, typically money given as a gift to children at New Year in red envelopes
年賀状 (nengajou) – New Year’s greetings cards
There are actually different greetings, depending on whether you say it before or after the new year!
Hatsumode (初詣)
Hatsumōde is an important New Year tradition in many Japanese families. It means the first visit to a shrine or temple in the New Year. Many people try to go on January 1st, but any time in the first three days is OK.
Due to this tradition, Shinto shrines in Japan are extremely busy in early January. Many of them have a kind of festival feel, with food stalls outside and lots of activity.
During hatsumode, people buy omikuji (pieces of paper with fortunes written on) and pray for their wishes for the next year.
Kotatsu (炬燵)
If you’ve ever spent a winter in Japan, the kotatsu will be your best friend! A kotatsu is a low table with a heater underneath. You can sit around it to keep your legs warm and toasty in the cold weather. They usually have a blanket attachment to keep the heat in, and for extra coziness.
Most Japanese homes don’t have central heating, so the kotatsu is an important way to stay warm in winter! Usually the family will all gather around the kotatsu and hang out on cold evenings.
Mikan (みかん)
Mikan are Japanese mandarin oranges. They are a common winter fruit in Japan. They are grown in the south of Japan, especially Ehime prefecture. It has lots of vitamins and keeps people healthy in winter.
Japanese people especially love to enjoy mikan while sitting around the kotatsu!
Here are some other winter foods in Japan:
ゆず (yuzu) – another Japanese citrus fruit with a kind of lime/lemon taste
かぼちゃ (kabocha) – Japanese pumpkin
おでん (oden) – kind of stew with boiled ingredients such as boiled eggs, fishpaste cakes, potatoes and daikon
鍋 (nabe) – a warming hotpot dish full of vegetables and meat or fish
焼き芋 (yakiimo) – roasted sweet potatoes which are often sold by street vendors or food trucks in winter
いちご (ichigo) – strawberries. Strawberries are considered summer fruits in many other countries, but in Japan they are most popular in winter.
もち (mochi) – rice cake sold and eaten especially at new year, and also used in new year decorations.
Fuyu gomori (冬ごもり)
Do you like to escape from the world and stay indoors all winter? If so, you’re taking part in fuyu gomori – winter confinement or hibernation! The kotatsu is the perfect place for fuyu gomori 🙂
Setsubun (節分)
Setsubun is considered the last day of winter and beginning of spring in Japan. It takes place on February 3rd.
On setsubun, many Japanese families take part in a tradition to scare away evil spirits before the new season starts. For this tradition, the father of the household dresses up in a demon mask and comes to the front door of the house. The other family members throw soy beans at him, shouting 鬼は外! 福は内! (Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!), which means ‘Demon out! Luck in!’, to chase him away. This is supposed to bring happiness for the new year.
Some people also attend a shrine on this day, or eat a special sushi roll called ehō-maki facing a lucky direction.

The third and final English to Japanese cover I’ll be analyzing is “Let It Go” from the movie Frozen, which I heard in Japanese for the first time when one of my friends sang it at karaoke.
LYRICS
Original
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation,
and it looks like I'm the Queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in;
Heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in,
don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel,
don't let them know
Well now they know
Japanese
降り始めた雪は足跡消して
真っ白な世界に一人の私
風が心にささやくの
このままじゃダメなんだと
戸惑い、傷つき
誰にも打ち明けずに
悩んでたそれももう
止めよう
Original
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway
Japanese
ありのままの姿見せるのよ
ありのままの自分になるの
何も怖くない
風よ吹け
少しも寒くないわ
Original
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me,
I'm free!
Japanese
悩んでたことは
嘘みたいで
だってもう自由よ
何でも出来る
どこまでやれるか
自分を試したいの
そうよ、変わるのよ私
Original
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on
Japanese
ありのままで空へ風に乗って
ありのままで飛び出してみるの
二度と涙は流さないわ
Original
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway!
Japanese
冷たく大地を包み込み
高く舞い上がる想い描いて
花咲く氷の結晶のように
輝いていたいもう決めたの
これでいいの
自分を好きになって
これでいいの
自分信じて
光浴びながら
歩きだそう
少しも寒くないわ
THOUGHTS
English to Japanese Translation
More than the previous two songs I analyzed, the Japanese version of this song makes a very concerted effort to replicate literal meaning of the English lyrics nearly word for word, as well as the defiant tone of the lyrics. This makes sense given that this is a song written to help advance the plot of a movie and to change the literal meaning of the lyrics would mean altering the plot of the movie and the character arc.
Ironically, the one line the Japanese version does not translate literally is “Let it go,” the title and refrain of the English original, which instead comes out as「ありのままで」or「これでいいの」meaning something along the lines of “As it is” and “This is good”.
Rhyming Scheme and Structure
The song does not have a consistent rhyming pattern throughout the verses or choruses, though the lyrics do frequently rhyme の・と・よ or ち・い・み・に or で・て throughout the song.
One thing this song does very well is end lines on sounds like の or に, allowing the singer to hold those notes out longer.

Snow Flurry | 風花
Ran and Rindou sat between their aunt and uncle on the sofa in the waiting room, awkward silence filling the air as their uncle kept trying to call their father.
Ran stared at him with a blank gaze as Rindou played on his game, trying to keep himself distracted.
From what his aunt had said, Rindou had concluded that mom had been in labor for about two hours, and should be done soon.
“Haitani Asayu?” a woman peaked in, a clipboard in her hand. “You have visitors.”
The sweaty and tired woman smiled at the nurse and nodded, holding her newborn daughter to his heaving chest.
“Is it my husband? Haitani Itachi?”
“Uh, no ma’am, a Juuba Ranka, Juuba Shouta, Haitani Ran, and a Haitani Rindou.”
‘My sister, brother in law, and sons are here, yet my husband couldn't come to the hospital to see his newborn daughter?’ Asayu felt tears prick her eyes and sniffled, before telling the nurse they could come in.
“Okaa-san!”
“Kaa-chan!”
Thirteen year old Rindou and Fifteen year old Ran stood by the hospital bed, staring at their mom who held a small baby to her chest.
“Ran, Rindou, this is Y/n, Your little sister.” She breathed out, her tired eyes scanned the room. “Where’s your father?”
Ran and Rindou looked at each other and looked back at their mom. “Tou-san didn’t… show up.” Rindou mumbled out, looking down at his shuffling feet.
“It’s not like he’d ever care anyway.” Ran huffed, crossing his arms and pouting. His mom shushed him, swatting his blond head. But deep down, she knew her oldest son was right.
“Look at me you two,” The two sets of lavender eyes looked into her’s, surprised that her eyes started to water. “Promise me that you’ll love her, to protect her from everything?”
“Sure ‘kaa-san”
“OF COURSE WE WILL, OKAA-SAN!”
She chuckled, a smile spreading on her lips as the nurse came in and took the child off her chest.
“H-Hey! Where’s she goin’ with Imouto-chan!” The boys asked frantically, looking between their mom and door. She giggled and patted their heads, “don’t worry, they’re going to put her in the nursery while I heal and get ready to go home.”
Ran and Rindou stared at the ground, not believing their ears.
‘Divorce’
‘Taking Y/n’
‘Cheating Bastard’
‘Alcoholic Bitch’
“Rindou,” said newly turned fourteen year old turned to his elder brother, who sat against the bedroom door to their sister’s nursery. “Grab Y/n, let’s get outta here.”
“But-”
“You heard mom, She’s going to take Y/n and leave us with dad, we’ll never see her again.”
The silence was heavy in the room, both boys feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders, and walked towards their sister’s cradle. The little girl had been about 3 months old at this point, and yet, her brothers were ready to kill for her.
“Hey Ran?”
“Yeah?”
“Remember, that thing we talked about?”
“What thing?”
“Yaknow, us… taking over Roppongi?”
“Mm, yeah.”
“If we did that, we could forever protect Y/n from bad people,” Rindou hummed, watching Ran cradle the small baby, the small being cooing and grabbing at her elder brother’s blonde braids.
“We’ll take over Roppongi, and be Unstoppable.”
“Yeah, Yeah, now hand her over, You’ve had your turn.”
“Aww, a few more minutes RinRin?”
“Never utter that horrid nickname again.”
“Okay♡”
“Ew.”
“...Why is she smiling more than she did for me?”
“Bc I’m way cooler than you.”
“I’ve been betrayed, by both my siblings.”
“Get over it.”
“God has forsaken me.”
Rolling his eyes, Rindou walked towards the door, his sister bundled in his arms, and a ‘fake’ bundle in his brother’s.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“I’m going to distract Otou-san and Okaa-san, you run and take Y/n to our hiding place.”
‘Stupid plan…’
They stared at each other and Ran walked out of the room, carrying the fake bundle in his arms.
“I can’t believe it.”
Ran was grinning as they sat in the abandoned playground, sitting on the high rocks as he held their baby sister.
“We should start gaining a rep, taking out some smaller gangs first.” Rindou stated, the ever smarter brother.
“Yeah♡, as long as I can break bones♡!”
“We’ll be the unstoppable Haitani Brothers.”
