Song Information

This song was first performed at one of Tsukiko Amano's concerts as an 'extra' under the title 'Just Call My Name'. Tokura, Amano's manager, later mentioned on his blog that Amano would be singing 'that song' for 'that game.'

It was a few weeks later that the single was announced officially as being the theme song for Fatal Frame IV. On July 25th an interview with Keisuke Kikuchi and a subsequent game trailer that featured the song confirmed that this was true.

This single is Tsukiko Amano's 17th major label single. The other songs on the single are from Amano's Uma Salmon indies album. Strangely, there is no B-side to this song.

The piano melody played in the introduction and coda to the song is Lascia ch'io pianga from the opera Rinaldo by George Frideric Handel.

Amano also made an English version of the song, which plays during the Hard ending of the unofficial translation of Fatal Frame IV.

In a recent tweet to a fan, Amano confirmed that the name for both English and Japanese versions is just "Zero". The "Chouritsu" part of "Zero no Chouritsu" is semantic baggage.[1]

Album Information

The album, which retailed at 1050 yen, peaked at #61 on the weekly Japanese Oricon chart, the official Japanese sales chart, and remained on the charts for six weeks.

Lyrics

A broken robot keeps having an impossible dream
And he still wonders in his deep delusion

Can I become your hope?
So what should I do?
For how much daylight do I have to wait?

Don't look back on your way
'Cos I wish I could be with you, and I want to escape from here
The flowers are fated to wither, after all they bloom in the end
In the end

Just call my name (I wanna be there with you)
So call my name (I wanna be free so free)
Before I forget all of you (After a while, I get worn down down down)
Just feel of you (I wanna be there with you)
I feel for you (I wanna be free so free)
Only you give me the will to live (After a while, I get worn down down down)
Can't you picture me, or touch me, or kiss me?
Please
Could you get me out of this cipher?

I can't avoid noises It is sticking on me
Can you clearly hear the sounds that I make?

Don't turn your eyes away
Even if I've changed compare me when I stayed with you
I can not return to the places that I have been nevermore
Nevermore

Just call my name
So call my name
How much hope in the world am I allowed?
Just feel of you
I feel for you
Don't want to give you up anymore
Can't you picture me, or touch me, or kiss me?
Please
Could you get me out of this cipher?

Just call my name
So call my name
Before I forget all of you
Just feel of you
I feel for you
Only you give me the will to live
Just call my name
So call my name
How much hope in the world am I allowed?
I'm missing you
So missing you
Don't want to give you up anymore
Can't you picture me, or touch me, or kiss me?
Please
Could you get me out of this cipher?

壊れた機械は夢を見ている
永遠に醒めぬ時間を奏でて

あとどれくらいの夜を紡げば
あなたを照らすひかりになれる

手を解かないて
あなたを追って逃げたくなるから
せめてやさしいそのぬくもりに抱かれて 咲かせて

Just call my name (I wanna be there with you)
So call my name (I wanna be free so free)
散りゆくひとひらを (After a while, I get worn down down down)
結んで下さい (I wanna be there with you, I wanna be free so free)
あなたのその腕で (After a while, I get worn down down down)
わたしはまだわたしでいられる?
Could you get me out of this cipher?

無数に響く音色の中で
わたしの声は ちゃんと聞こえる?

目をそらさないで
あなたの想う わたしじゃなくても
空白から未来へ綴る調べを捉えて

Just call my name
So call my name
散りゆくひとひらを
数えて下さい あなたのその胸で
わたしはまだわたしでありたい
Could you get me out of this cipher?

Just call my name
So call my name
散りゆくひとひらを
結んで下さい あなたのその腕で
Just call my name
So call my name
この目に焼き付けて
沈んでいきたい あなたのその胸へ
わたしはまだわたしでいられる?
Could you get me out of this cipher?
