- Are you looking for the story titled Abandoned on a Moonlit Night?
- "Now, let's go see our real mother and father."
- ―Hänsel and Gretel[src]
Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night is a song released by Akuno-P released on October 6, 2008. It is the tenth song in the Original Sin Story and a sequel to Moonlit Bear.
Plot
A young boy and girl follow their parents through the woods, making several inquiries on their ultimate destination. After walking some ways, they realize that they will become lost if they continue, and both are abandoned "like Hänsel and Gretel". Choosing to wander through the forest for some time, the twins fill their glass bottle with moonlight to illuminate the path, though they are not certain that it is the right one. Finally, they reach a house that they've seen before, a "witch's house". They shove the "evil witch" into an oven, and the two ask for praise from their parents for killing the evil witch and her "evil henchman". At the song's end, they decide this is a good place to settle, as it reminds them of their home; they later they resolve to go find their "real mother and father".
Composition
Kagamine Rin and Len are utilized with the VOCALOID2 engine for the song. Synthesizers, bass guitar, drums, steel drums, and piano are used prolifically, along with a radio filter.
The song begins with an opening instrumental, and the first verse begins at 0.20. Rin begins singing, then switches to Len at 0.39. At 0.55, a pre-chorus begins, a harmony between the two follows. At 1.14, the first chorus begins, preceding an instrumental break beginning at 1.32. At 1.52, the bridge begins. At 2.29, the second chorus begins, followed by a few verses beginning at 2.52. By 3.32, a variation of the opening instrumental plays, until the song's end.
Lyrics
母さん
この道はどんな幸せに続いているの？
そこでは
大好きなおやつをたくさん食べられるのかな？
父さん
この先に神様は待っているのですか？
どうして
で
そんな悲しい顔で僕らを見るのですか？
暗い森の中
本当は全てわかっていた
このまま進めば
もう帰ることはできないと
ふたりぼっち残された僕ら まるでヘンゼルとグレーテル
お月様のわずかな光では 帰る道もわからない
僕らは歩く さ迷い歩く
手掛かりがないわけじゃない
ガラスの小瓶 月に照らされ
ぴかぴかひかり 道を照らす
されどもそれが 正しい道か
僕らは知らず ただただ歩く
やっと見つけた 僕らにはわかる
ここは魔女の家
さあ 悪い魔女をやっつけろ 燃えるかまどに放り投げろ
彼女がいなけりゃ僕らはきっと 幸せになれるはず
ねえ母さん 私をほめて
悪い魔女は倒したのよ
ねえ父さん 僕をほめて
魔女の子分も倒したんだ
それにしても
ここはとても落ち着く所だね
まるで昔から
住んでいたような気がするね
さあ「本当の」母さんと父さんに会いに行こう

Trivia
Conceptualization and Origin
- The song is based on the Brothers Grimm tale "Hänsel & Gretel".
- Initially, mothy planned for an entirely different song while producing it, wanting to name it "Zoo Detention".[1]
- Like Moonlit Bear, Full Moon Laboratory, and Escape of Salmhofer the Witch, the story takes place on a moonlit night; the moon is often associated with madness and is the origin of the word "lunacy".
- The song's English title, "Insane moonlight", also alludes to the moon and its association with insanity.
Curiosities
- A short story elaborating on the events in the song is included in Waltz of Evil: The Deadly Sins of Evil Guidebook.
- The glass bottle present in the song seems to be the same one seen in Moonlit Bear; a similar glass bottle appears in Regret Message.
- In Chrono Story, the twins seem aware that the "witch" they killed was their foster mother, contrasting their apparent ignorance in Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night.
- Gretel's curiosity about tasty snacks to eat references Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche and her love for snacks, particularly brioche.
- Their uncertainty on whether or not they travel along the "right path" parallels Moonlit Bear, where Eve describes that the "right path" had already been lost; both situations involved outward lunacy on a moonlit night through Held's Forest.
- Both songs also share the same melody during that part, although at a different pace.
- The song's opening melody is heard at the end of Moonlit Bear.
