Prototype by 石川智晶

If you are currently following Gundam 00 S2 or plan to follow this series you would or might heard of this song by Chiaki Ishikawa, it's the ending song for the Gundam 00 S2. Some of you might have heard of her song from Hack series or Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny. She's the lead vocalist for See-saw who sing the first ed for GS.

I love her voice, though her song do give u a bit weird feeling the first time you heard it but it kinda have a magic that make me love her song. This song Chorus part give me deep impression ^_^ hence wanna share it in my blog ~

Lyrics:
純真さがシンプルな力に変わる時
世界に影をつくりだす
ガラスケースに横たわる
光の存在に触れたくても
振り上げた手　降ろせなくて
落ちるようにしゃがみこんだ

Prototype boy 明日の理想だけで
語り継ぐような美談にもならないけど
この体を失いそうなギリギリの場所が
哀しいくらい似合ってる

嘘みたいな静けさは
わずかな綻びが弾ける前触れのようだ
過剰なまでの眼差しが
膝の震えさえ逃がそうとしない
この両手を挑発する
ありふれた偽善さえも

Prototype boy 心奪われてく
曖昧なジャブを繰り返す歯痒さで
この領域（エリア）に浮かび上がる残骸が
生きた分身に見え始めた
それでも　I shelter you

焦燥と放心の反動
絶えず私心が揺らいでる
今更の感傷ならかぶり振るけれど
使い捨てられる試作品（prototype）
生きるのは自分だろうか？
今は考えない・・考えない・・

Prototype boy 明日の理想だけで
語り継ぐような美談にもならないけど
この体を失いそうなギリギリの場所が
哀しいくらい似合ってる

Prototype boy 心奪われてく
曖昧なジャブを繰り返す歯痒さで
この領域（エリア）に浮かび上がる残骸が
生きた分身に見え始めた
それでも　I shelter you

[English translation]
When innocence turns into a simple power
It creates shadows in the world
Even if you wanted to touch the existence of light
That lies across the glass case
You couldn’t lower your raised hand
But crouched down as if falling

Prototype boy, with only ideals for tomorrow
You won’t become a lovely story to be passed down
But the brink of this place, where you seem to lose yourself
Suits you so much that it’s sad

The lie-like silence
Is like the forerunner for the tiny rip that bursts open
A gaze that feels excessive
Won’t even overlook the trembling of your knees
Or even the common hypocrisy
That provokes your hands

Prototype boy, your heart is stolen away
With your restlessness that keeps making ambiguous jabs
The wreckage, which once lived, that surfaces in this area
Has started to be visible to your alter ego
Nevertheless, I shelter you

The reaction between impatience and inattention
Is ceaseless; your selfishness is wavering
When it comes to the sentiments now, you shake your head at them
But they’re disposable prototypes
What lives is yourself, right?
Now you can’t think… You can’t think…

Prototype boy, with only ideals for tomorrow
You won’t become a lovely story to be passed down
But the brink of this place, where you seem to lose yourself
Suits you so much that it’s sad

Prototype boy, your heart is stolen away
With your restlessness that keeps making ambiguous jabs
The wreckage, which once lived, that surfaces in this area
Has started to be visible to your alter ego
Nevertheless, I shelter you

The MV is a bit meh~ boring cos she just stood around, but consider she's a good singer, composer for both the lyrics and music for some song of her and other artist and still pretty despite almost 40 edi, give her a credit for singing nice song [clap! clap!]
