In this re-watch of Fushigi Yuugi, I was stuck on the 33rd episode for a long time as I dared not to click it open. Nonetheless, it was necessary for me to cross this hurdle. As this special ending song came on air, Nuriko sat in the drifting snow, eyes closed, lips slightly curled upwards, as pristine as an angel; I could no longer hold my tears. It was then that I decided to create a piano arrangement for his special ending. Compared to Tokimeki no Doukasen, this song took form of a more concise design in order to highlight its “melody”, as featured in the title. The left hand arrangement slightly differs between the two repeated passages of the verse, adding a touch of novelty. Meanwhile, climax at the end was arranged to start low and end high so as to emphasize the contrast between the two repeated passages of the chorus, also corresponding to Nuriko’s final outburst after his fatal injury. Finally, through a rallentando, the coda draws the audience’s view to the silver-clad Black Mountain of Hokkan in the distance. Nuriko is my favourite character in Fushigi Yuugi, hope you enjoy! 

这次重温《不思议游戏》时，在三十三集上卡了很久，一直不敢点开。但，终究是要越过这道坎的。这首片尾曲响起时，在白雪中静坐的柳宿仿佛睡着了一般，那么地纯净。那时我就决定要把这首特别片尾曲改编成钢琴曲。比起「心跳的导火线」，我在这首的设计上较为简洁，为的是突出歌名中的“旋律”二字。主歌重复的两段之间左手稍微有些变化，增添些新鲜感。最后一段高潮采取了先抑后扬的铺排，突出两段之间的对比，也对应了最后柳宿在受伤后的爆发。结尾则以一段渐慢渐弱将观众的视线拉向远方北甲国银装素裹的黑山。 柳宿是我在《不思议游戏》中最欣赏的角色，希望大家喜欢。
