Desert Bluebird

"If I'm with you, I'm sure it will be overcome."

- Older Brother

Desert Bluebird is a song released by Akuno-P on July 9, 2010. Although set in Lucifenia, it bears no apparent connection to the Evillious Chronicles.

Plot
In the distant future where civilization is all but wiped out, a brother and sister are looking for a bluebird, sure they can weather any disasters together. They meet an old woman who tells them of a bluebird that has the power to fulfill any wish. If found, the bluebird could save the world. They set off, "packing their car full of wishes" in search of the bluebird. After a long journey, they find it inside a Lucifenian state-run factory, perilous to humans due to high radiation. The brother makes his younger sister stay outside. Undaunted, she "packs her heart full of courage" and goes into the building and retrieves the bluebird, only to suffer and die from the radiation. The brother begs the bluebird to restore his sister, and the bluebird disappears as the girl wakes up again. The two walk ahead and find themselves near a blue ocean at the end of the world. It is there where civilization is recreated by the hands of its inhabitants. At the end of the PV, on the screen is shown: "The Desert Bluebird is a miracle."

Conceptualization and Origin

 * In French folklore, the bluebird represents enduring happiness and is the origin of the phrase, "bluebird of happiness"; Lucifenia, the country the song is set in, is inspired by France.
 * In Native American folklore, the Sun's firstborn son was named Bluebird and the animal was believed to be a spirit associated with the rising sun, possibly alluding to the sun over the ocean toward the song's end.
 * The song's plot may be inspired by the play The Blue Bird (L'Oisea bleu) by Maurice Maeterlinck, telling the story of a girl, Mytyl, and her brother, Tyltyl, who try finding the "blue bird of happiness."

Curiosities

 * The emblem of Lucifenia appears in the song, albeit more elaborate than its other depictions.
