The english translation to some of the lyrics to the song they found are in here.
I'll give a cookie to whomever names the song first.
Shouldn't be that hard, though. :3
[Chapter Seventeen –- It’s in Our Blood]This is…I really couldn’t believe my eyes. This was a song that I had never heard myself, but I had heard
about it. The song that had made this theatre… this troupe… and perhaps even this city famous for the performing arts. Not because of the lyrics or the music… in fact, it had nothing at all to do with the song itself… but rather…
…the person who had performed it for the first time.

♪“Embrace... this entire city! Embrace… these dreams!”♪“Risako-chan… how did you… I don’t even…”
She seemed to be very, very proud of herself, and was grinning at me from ear to ear.
“You don’t even know what to say, do you? I remembered about this yesterday when you were talking about finding other songs… and so I thought I could surprise you with it.”
♪“You’re such a flirt tonight, aren’t you? Don’t tease me…”♪“Can I hold it?”
It would have been strange for anyone else to be in awe of a score of music, but Risako understood how I was feeling, and she handed it over as delicately as possible. My fingers tingled just a little bit when they came into contact with the slightly worn paper, and it was all I could do to keep from trembling. I mean…
This was it.
Talk about holding your destiny in your hands. Not to mention the past…
♪ Heartbeat! A heart-pounding night! A night I’d never want to end- endless summer night!♪She had written this song. Every lyric… every musical note…
She had planned out the dance steps in her head…
She took what had started out as nothing… and turned it into something beautiful.
And because of her, this once-dead city had started to thrive.
Before everything went wrong, anyway…I snapped out of my musings to realize that Risako had been talking to me. I quickly tried to tap in to what she was saying.
“…And so I was thinking, since we aren’t doing the old show anymore that maybe you could be the one to dance to this. As a sort of tribute or something, y’know? I think that-”
“No.”
You don’t know what you’re asking of me… I can’t do this.“-Eh…? What do you mean?”
“I-I just can’t… okay? It’s better if we just put it up and never think about it again, alright?”
“Momo-chan- wait, where are you going?”
“I think I’m going to take a walk outside or something… Get some fresh air, something like that. It’s kind of stuffy in here.”
“Momo-chan, wait!”
But I couldn’t stop running. Seeing that had brought the memories rushing back in an unstoppable torrent, and I couldn’t handle them all at once like this.
Risako just didn’t understand.
I can’t dance like she could.
I can’t sing like she did.
I’ll never even be half the person that she still is…
…
…Because I’m nothing like my mom.------------
Maasa was feeling incredibly sick at the moment. Her stomach had been completely emptied of anything and everything that had been inside of it only minutes before, and she dared not walk just yet or her body would force her into a fit of dry heaving. She wasn’t sure how much more of that she could take before she passed out or something…
Needless to say, the good feelings were gone, and the alcohol was wearing off faster than she had wanted it to.
Her head felt like it had been pierced with several metal stakes, and she refused to open her eyes until her stomach quit acting up, because the sunlight only helped to make her even more queasy.
Never… never EVER again… Especially not if it’s free…She hated this. She hated that she had let what Maiha said get her so worked up.
So what if you’re going to be a loner and a loser for the rest of your life, Maasa? It’s better than this… Throwing your insides up into a dumpster in an alley… this is just sad.Maasa steadied herself against the metal container, working up the strength to crack open one eye. At least no one was around to witness just how sorry she was… All of her dignity didn’t have to go down the drain…
With a grunt, the tall girl began to stagger out from between the two buildings, struggling to ignore the lurching feeling inside.
Maybe I should go back and take Saki up on her offer of staying over… I’m gonna be out of commission for a couple of hours…She was going to turn around and head back towards the loft, when a small body shot out of nowhere, colliding with her own very unstable one and knocking both of them to the concrete.
