Kyoto Pie

A long long time ago
I could still remember how
Her music used to make me smile
And I knew if she had her chance
That she could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But that December made me shiver
With every time my screen would flicker
Bad news came that evening
Since then I've still been grieving

I can't remember how long I cried
When I read about her final ride
Something hit me deep inside
The day the seiyuu died

So bye, bye Miss Showa Jidai
Took my waifu and mai laifu and left them to die
Them girls and boys were drinking sake and lye
Singin' this is the day anime died
This is the day anime died

Did you ever make a tankōbon
And did you sing the song of a swan?
If that's what the subtitles say
Now do you believe in kayōkyoku
Can the music, save me and you
And does KeitAi always find a way?

Now I really didn't give a fuck
Riding around, in a Japanese truck
But that's when I'd run out of luck
The day the seiyuu died
I started singing

Bye, bye Miss Showa Jidai
Took my waifu and mai laifu and left them to die
Them girls and boys were drinking sake and lye
Singin' this is the day anime died
This is the day anime died

Now for 20 years they left us alone
Working animators to the bone
But it wasn't always this way

When Seven sang enka on TV
Belting it out in the key of C
We all knew it'd be okay

When the brigade leader was out of town
Seven took first in her evening gown
The press corps was all in shock
Is this the power of rock?

And while the goddess chatted with the crab
Quarta traded with kouhai for the gift of gab
Mordred learned that guns ain't bad
The day the seiyuu died
She was singing

Bye, bye Miss Showa Jidai
Took my waifu and mai laifu and left them to die
Them girls and boys were drinking sake and lye
Singin' this is the day anime died
This is the day the anime died

Every summer felt eternal
So Index kept a little journal
Magical girls coming in hot...

Ganbatte! Take a shot!
The Forwards do as the White Devil taught
Onee-sama tell me, is it all for naught?

Now the date to air was good to go
We were all ready to enjoy the show
Everyone was having a blast
Oh! But it was never meant to last!

Then the ground all shook and the sea rushed in
Fear struck every nihonjin
Does the atom hold man's greatest sins?
On the day, the seiyuu died
We started singing

Bye, bye Miss Showa Jidai
Took my waifu and mai laifu and left them to die
Them girls and boys were drinking sake and lye
Singin' this is the day anime died
This is the day anime died

Oh there wasn't any time or place
When we weren't together in cyberspace
But did we ever meet face-to-face?

Umu, uguu, desu yo!
Hit me right here in the kokoro
A severe case of chunnibyou

Oh as he doused them all with gasoline
For a crime no one could have forseen
Oh heroes from heaven and hell
Why can't you save them with a spell?

And as the flames burned on into the night
When the madman set the holy place alight
I heard evil spirits cackling with delight
The day the seiyuu died

Bye, bye Miss Showa Jidai
Took my waifu and mai laifu and left them to die
Them girls and boys were drinking sake and lye
Singin' this is the day anime died
This is the day anime died

I asked a girl who played as lewd
Who she wanted to get married to
But her answer never came

I went down to my local store
Where I got interested years before
But the feeling just ain't the same, anymore

And on the net the fangirls scream
Artists get by and otaku dream
But we never have really spoken
Will our AT fields ever be broken?

Now with every year and every post
It's starting to feel like chasing a ghost
Where is that girl running, her mouth stuffed with toast
The day the seiyuu died

So bye, bye Miss Showa Jidai
Took my waifu and mai laifu and left them to die
Them girls and boys were drinking sake and lye
Singin' this is the day anime died
This is the day anime died

We've been singing
Bye, bye Miss Showa Jidai
Took my waifu and mai laifu and left them to die
Them girls and boys were drinking sake and lye
Singin' this is the day anime died
This is the day anime died
