    [The JukeBox] #88 – Macross 82-99 – Aogashima Island!

    Macross 82-99 released Sailorwave II back in 2018 as a EP after the successful release of the album Sailorwave back in 2013.

    Aogashima Island! is one of those songs that has always been in my playlists but never really took a liking to. But recently, something about the song changed my perpective on it and now I have fallen in love with it.

    So what is Aogashima Island? It is a volcanic island that is nearly 400km (~250 miles) from Tokyo. As of 2014, there are less than 200 people living on the island.

    Lyrics

    Give me release
    Witness me
    I am outside
    Give me peace

    Heaven holds a sense of wonder
    And I wanted to believe
    That I’d get caught up
    When the rage in me subsides

    In this white wave
    I am sinking
    In this silence
    In this white wave
    In this silence
    I believe

    Passion chokes the flower
    Till she cries no more
    Possesing all the beauty
    Hungry still for more

    Heaven holds a sense of wonder
    And I wanted to believe
    That I’d get caught up
    When the rage in me subsides

    In this white wave
    I am sinking
    In this silence
    In this white wave
    In this silence
    I believe

    I can’t help this loning
    Comfort me
    I can’t hold it all in
    If you won’t let me

    Heaven holds a sense of wonder
    And I wanted to believe
    That I’d get caught up
    When the rage in me subsides

    In this white wave
    I am sinking
    In this silence
    In this white wave
    In this silence
    I believe
