Project Honeyworks - Ken and Arisa
Riceroni for Arisa Takamizawa
Arisa used to ignore her own compassion in an attempt to fit in. When a fellow student got bullied- she desperately wanted to help, but couldn't bring herself to do so. She was scared that if she spoke up against them, she would be hated as well... thus, she buried her compassion deep inside her. Until, due to a certain incident, she finally managed to build up enough courage to stand up for what she believed was right. She stood up for the bullied girl- and as she expected, got bullied in return... but she didn't regret it, because she finally stood up for herself.
Now, Arisa is a courageous and outgoing girl, willing to stand up for her friends, no matter what. She's still not the best at communicating, due to her deeply rooted fear of being abandoned- but she's doing her best on a day-to-day basis. And that's what matters.
Arisa will be singing the following songs:

I've never seen you look like today
Nervous and embarrassed as you look my way
Could it be that you mean what you say,
And this isn't just a game?
Heart beating fast, has he changed since his past?
Should I really give him another chance?
I'm too scared, and I'm too unprepared
So I'll run away for now, up the stairs[Singing: Heart no Shuchou // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQdy7wDfcBw (Haven't written English Lyrics yet, so these are courtesy of JefferzKM on YouTube! Thank you!]

Tell me, how much pain must we bear as we grow?
More mature, one day they'll know
My heart trembling- aching can't you see![Speaking, reminiscing about how her relationship with Ken has developed]
During my first year in high school, I was in the same class as him. I still remember the first time he spoke to me; he smiled the same exact way he did when coming onto other girls. He said the exact same words he said to other girls. It all felt so very shallow- but I understood.
His smile was fake.
To avoid being hated, he buried his true self and blended in with the crowd... Just like me. So I vocalized my concern. "Why are you acting like that? Must be boring."
Turning my back towards him, I walked away as he was left frozen on the spot. But in the depths of my mind, I couldn't help but wonder...
Hey? Where is the real 'you'? How deep have you buried it? Why do I see so much sadness in your eyes?
