[Musical style : Traditional Japanese enka with shamisen and taiko drums. Dramatic chord progressions blending classic enka with avant-garde elements. Start with haunting minor chords, building to passionate climax during chorus. Include sudden dynamic shifts creating emotional tension. Performance should convey restrained grief erupting into raw emotion, expressing profound loss and ultimate acceptance. Create dramatic contrast between delicate verses and powerful chorus sections.]

--English--
On a quiet night, a warm candle flickers,
The faint scent of plum blossoms lingers,
A thread of time connects us still,
Your voice echoes from afar.

In the corner of the garden, plum blossoms bloom,
Petals slip between the pages of an open book,
Drawn by their scent, I see your smile again,
Riding the wind, your voice still lingers.
"Beneath the blossoms, a promise we made."
"Even knowing it could never be kept."

Fingertips trace a bookmark of plum,
Bringing back the memory of you.
Even if the flowers scatter, tears falling with them,
This feeling will bloom forever.

A pale violet light spills through the window,
Trapping our moments within these pages.
The scent of plum whispers of spring’s return,
Now a memory, distant yet dear.
"Beyond the branches, the endless sky."
"A path leading toward tomorrow."

As the bookmark sways in the wind,
Your voice reaches me once more.
Though petals may fall and return to the earth,
New life will bloom again.
