初久 -《致友》
IX - My Last Grief
想起每一天 形影不離
I thought of the days we were always together
捉緊每一天 攜手相見
I treasure the days we hold each other’s hand
結伴 走過
We endured
想起每一天 浮影牽連
I thought of the days
when we became shadow play characters
馳騁至彼岸 懸空一線
As we blazed through the coast,
we strike a lane among the sky
結伴 闖過
We ventured
命如曇花 頃刻 訣別遠適
Farewell, Princess of the night
剎那雲海 殘影 雨煙盡散
Vanished as chilly clouds arise upon sight
飄往晨曦 隨風 過渡秋冬
From Autumn through Winter,
I drifted towards the Aurora
靜待晴空 告終 放下激動
Halted for the fair sky, gone is the sullen
命如曇花 頃刻 訣別遠適
Farewell, Princess of the night
剎那雲海 殘影 雨煙盡散
Vanish as chilly clouds arise upon sight
飄往晨曦 隨風 過渡秋冬
From Autumn through Winter,
I drifted towards the Aurora
靜待晴空 告終 餘下悸動
Halted for the fair sky, gone is the despair

It also received international recognition as it was officially selected in the ROCK MUSIC CATEGORY OF 2022 Japan Indies Music Awards.
“Truly honoured to be nominated and shortlisted in one of the first MV awards in Hong Kong. Remarkably, it is also our first music video production ever since we started Studio Dunstein. It’s a song that brings you strong emotions and reflections on life and death, and we are very lucky to have the opportunity to create visuals despite the fact we were quite inexperienced at that time. All we had is the mind that pushed us to devote ourselves wholeheartedly because of how meaningful the song is itself. Thank you to everyone who have participated in the production, it’s a beautiful piece of art we have made.”
