Dolphin Legend

A long, long time ago, the son of a God in the Heavens violated a spiritual law within the Heavenly World by falling in love with a maiden in the Human World. Not being able to stay in the Spiritual World or the Human World, the two of them traveled all around, but still couldn't find a place where they could stay. There was only the fairy queen that lived within the deepest part of the forest that sympathizes with their plight and gave this pair of lovers a spiritual copper charm. This spiritual copper charm protected them when they traveled across the ocean. However, the God of Envy discovered the secret behind the copper charm, took it away and threw it into the ocean. For this reason, the pair of lovers that lost the protection of the copper charm was dashed loose by the big waves. Even if that was the case, they both still continued searching for one another until the last minute. 

When dawn arrives, seeing that the two of them will soon be changed into foam, this love was very touching to the kind-hearted dolphin, and at the moment of daybreak, the dolphin jumped out of the ocean carrying the copper charm in its mouth, allowing this pair of lovers to once again possess the blessing from the fairy queen so that they can be together again. At the moment when the first ray of sunlight shines on the white sandy beach, the whole beach was washed with a happy pinkish color and the dolphin also jumped high up to the sky, becoming the symbol for protecting love. From then on, in the beginning of every autumn, at the place where the dolphin showed itself in daybreak, this beach would be glowing in a pinkish light. So long as you are quiet and listen carefully, you may even hear the dolphin singing. If only you look out to the far distant, you may also see the dolphin coming, carrying the copper charm in its mouth…

遺失的美好 (Lost Beauty)

~Lost Beauty~
The feeling of missing someone of the ocean never ends
It finally meets up with the sky at the horizon
If our love has been continuing long enough,
we shall see happiness too

＊ The promises often seem like butterflies
It is flying beautifully, and then vanished after circling
But I believe the promises you gave me, will like spring that always comes
I’m always bringing the smile of your love with me
I’ve searching for the beauty that I’ve lost along the way 
When tears have accidentally fallen down the corner of the mouth
I’ll wipe it off using my hand which you’ve held before
I never stop my journey even if there are more sceneries
I look only for the beauty that I’ve lost
Some people can’t tell how good it is
But no one can substitute it

In beginning, the very first second
Some things are meant to go on forever
Although fate loves play jokes on us
The true heart will meet up with true heart
