The tenth track on the NEW WORLD album (2015) from Japanese band me-al art. English translated title: The title uses a really rare kanji, and as such, even after hours of searching, the true meaning still eludes me. However, from the lyrics of the song, it can be deduced that Ranhyei is the name of a bird that the song is about.

This song is also a cover of an older song by the band COCK ROACH. [ Ссылка ] if you're interested.

Also, I have somehow managed to triangulate the actual lyrics for this song! The process was more arduous than I had thought it would be, so you better enjoy them. Brought to you by some Japanese website, some other Japanese website, Google Translate, Wiktionary, my ass, and the fact that COCK ROACH first made this song about seven years prior, making kanji subtitles actually findable somewhere in the deepest darkest reaches of the internet

Tōku mori o nuke kigi yurasu
Yakudō no ibuki ōinaru kaze wa
Tsutai ima boku no me no mae de
Tatta ippon no karekusa o yurasu

Dareka ga umarete
Mata dareka ga shinde yukunda na

Daichi no tabibito ningen wa
Hi eien no shukumei o seotte
Shinzurubeku hikari motomete
Mōmoku no yami o samayō

Ikiteiru nara
Semete ikite irareru nara

Ōkina tori ni matagatte
Kumo o kiru hane no oto

Kaze no nagare o azamukeba
Karada wa tokasare yuku

Kaze to tomo ni habataku
Tori no na wa Ranhyei
Tonda hanebira wa umi e

Kono mama ware to
Ikiyō mijikaku
Hakanaku tomo iroaseru koto naku

Kumo ni makareta rankiryū
Raiu to gōu no kyōmeika yo

Furisosogu mama hateru ka
Furiyamu made ikiru ka

Hane no hibiki o yamureba
Ware to tomo ni ochireru ga

Kumo o nukezu hateru ka
Kumo o nukete hareru ka

Ōkina tori ni matagatte
Kumo o kiru hane no oto

Kaze no nagare o azamukeba
Karada wa tokasare yuku

Kaze to tomo ni habataku
Tori no na wa Ranhyei
Tonda hanebira wa umi e

Kono mama ware to
Ikiyō mijikaku
Hakanaku tomo iroaseru koto naku
