The Man Who Knows the Sun Never intro & song
Meet the next long-term project of Evil and Creepy Translations!
This is a light novel written by Tatsuki Saitoh, based on NATARIE IN THE DREAM (NataP)s song "太陽を知らない人" (Taiyou wo Shiranai Hito, officially translated as "the man who knows the sun never", but that sounds a tad Engrishy to me)
It features three Vocaloids NataP released solo alb.u.ms for: Gakupo Kamui, Luka Megurine and Len Kagamine.

森よ開け
The Man Who Doesn't Know the Sun
In a forest deeper than the seas
A man who doesn't know the Sun
No matter how hard he looks upwards
Only taciturn trees cast their shadows
Even if winter ends and spring comes
Even if summer withers and autumn blows
Inside the forest where seasons don't reach
He just dreams of something unknown
O forest, open
Swayed by the wind
The blue of the heavens seen in dreams
A color you have yet to know
In a forest deeper than the seas
A man who doesn't know the Sun
No matter how hard he looks upwards
Only taciturn trees cast their shadows
