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
