Keishō no uta (継承の唄 lit. "Inheritance song") is the third opening theme of the Mushoku Tensei anime performed by Yuiko Ōhara. It was released as a digital single on October 17, 2021.
The song was first used in the anime as the opening theme song for Episode 14. The song does not have a special video-animation sequence for the credits as it is integrated into real-time scenes of the story, and varies for every episode.
Lyrics[]
木々の騒めき 息を潜めて
互いの名も知らぬままに この身を委ね
茂みの奥の微かな木漏れ日は
どこか母の温もりのよう
古人の残した性よ
刻まれた胸が疼いている
声よ 木霊よ
今望む 言葉を聞かせて
霧の向こうへと進んで
彷徨いあう前に
せせらぎの夢 汲み取り浴びて
木の葉の船 揺らす水面 孤独に沈む
雨風たちと 変わらぬ移り気で
泥にまみれた心洗う
遠く滲んだ 追憶の中
忘れかけた想いを見つけた
声よ木霊よ
今望む言葉を教えて
混じり合う時の流れが
私になる前に
面影を辿れば
見知るほどに戸惑う
汚れを秘めぬ川の流れに沿わせて
どうか声よ木霊よ
今望む言葉を聞かせて
霧の向こうへと進んで
彷徨いあう前に
天よ大地よ
今歌う この歌を聴いて
混じり合う時の流れが
私になる前に
何者でもないまま
Kigi no zawameki iki o hisomete
Tagai no na mo shiranu mama ni kono mi o yudane
Shigemi no oku no kasukana komorebi wa
Doko ka haha no nukumori no you
Inishiebito no nokoshita saga yo
Kizamareta mune ga uzuiteiru
Koe yo kodama yo
Ima nozomu kotoba o kikasete
Kiri no mukou e to susunde
Samayoiau mae ni
Seseragi no yume kumitori abite
Konoha no fune yurasu minamo kodoku ni shizumu
Amekaze tachi to kawaranu utsurigi de
Doro ni mamireta kokoro arau
Touku nijinda tsuioku no naka
Wasurekaketa omoi o mitsuketa
Koe yo kodama yo
Ima nozomu kotoba o oshiete
Majiriau toki no nagare ga
Watashi ni naru mae ni
Omokage o tadoreba mishiru hodo ni tomadou
Kegare o himenu kawa no nagare ni sowasete
Douka koeyo kodama yo
Ima nozomu kotoba o kikasete
Kiri no mukou e to susunde
Samayoiau mae ni
Ten yo daichi yo
Ima utau kono uta o kite
Majiriau toki no nagare ga
Watashi ni naru mae ni
Nanimono demo nai mama
Among the noises of trees
I am holding my breath quietly Even without knowing each others' names I entrust you A faint streak of light from the bushes in deep It's like the warmth of a mother
Nature left behind by ancestors It's written on my chest and is throbbing
Voice and sprit of the tree I wish to hear you Before I move beyond the mist And get lost
A little stream of a dream I scooped some and splashed them on myself A leaf boat created a ripple And sank all alone A mind changes like wind and rain I am washing my muddy heart
In my blurred memory in the distance I found a feeling I almost forgot
Voice and a sprit of tree Tell me words I am looking for Before time merges to become me
More I get to know by tracing the silhouette
More confused I get Along the untainted river flow
Voice and sprit of the tree I wish to hear you Before I move beyond the mist And get lost
Heave and earth I sing a song now, please listen Before time merges to become me I'll devote myself
Before I become someoneVideos[]
