“Shinsō” (深蒼, Deep Blue) is the opening theme of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II sung by Asami Imai. It replaces Hekira no Sora e Izanaedo in the portable versions and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend as the Astral Heat music, and is also a selectable song in the BGM Select. In Extend, the Astral Heat cut of the song is noticeably glitched in the portable/Arcade version. The sound will either be muffled or no music will play at all. If it does, it is of a very degraded quality, and constantly shifts higher and lower in pitch.

Lyrics

Kanji	Rōmaji	Translation
闇を食らいつくす蒼黒の森 運命の枝は光求め・・・進む	Yami o kuraitsukusu sōkoku no mori Sadame no eda wa hikari motome… susumu	In the forest in the grips of rivalry With the branch of fate that seeks the light…pushes on
手繰り寄せた赤い糸は誰が為の命綱 侵蝕する回顧録は君の真をも狂わせるよ	Taguri yoseta akai ito wa ta ga tame no inochizuna Shinshoku suru kaikoroku wa kimi no shin o mo kuruwaseru yo	Whose lifeline is this red string of fate reeled in, Corroding memories that are maddening your sobriety
廻る永遠を背負い見つめて 畏れフィクション脱ぎ捨てたら 今、この胸に問う	Mawaru eien o seoi mitsumete Osore FICTION nugisutetara Ima, kono mune ni tō	Burdened by looking into the continua, Cast aside this anxious fiction Now, charge this heart
錆びゆくエンゲージ　絡まるインフィニティ 迷い込む蒼のラグナロクでどれだけ剣を振るえる？ 魂をゆずらずに 憂いのモノクローム 出口のない空へ　混沌が降り注ぐ遥かへ それでも舞い上がれるか？ 答えと引き換えるは・・・未来	Sabiyuku ENGAGE, karamaru INFINTY Mayoikomu ao no RAGNAROK de dore dake ken o furueru? Tamashī o yuzurazu ni Urei no MONOCHROME Deguchi no nai sora e, konton ga furisosogu haruka e Sore demo maiagareru ka? Kotae to hikikaeru wa… mirai	Rusting ENGAGE, Entwining INFINITY To what extent will the Straying Blue RAGNAROK take arms? The soul won’t give in to the MONOCHROME of grief To the exitless sky, to the distant chaotic downpour, Will you still take off? Exchanging answers is… the Future
哀しみから憎しみから過去を引きずり出して 誰もがみな傷を隠しもがき苦しみ立ち上がるよ	Kanashimi kara nikushimi kara kako o hikizuridashite Dare mo ga mina kizu o kakushi mogaki kurushimi tachiagaru yo	Drag the past out from the hatred, from the sadness Everyone has scars to hide, struggles and hardships to overcome
証は生き様に残る　目覚めよ 木霊するは心の所在 今、刻の中乞う	Akashi wa ikizama ni nokoru, mezame yo Kodama suru wa kokoro no shozai Ima, toki no naka kō	Proof remains of the way of life, awaken Echoing the whereabouts of the heart Now, question this moment
嘆きのエルドラド　君が叫ぶ歓喜　 無生れし蒼のラビリンスへ堕ちてく　 その狭間さえ瞳に刻み付けて　 朽ちてくセレナーデ　辿り着けない道　 手繰りで掴む君の姿　 確かなものなどないと強く生けるのならば・・・誇り	Nageki no EL DORADO, kimi ga sakebu kanki Mūmareshi ao no LABYRINTH e ochiteku Sono hazama sae hitomi ni kizamitsukete Kuchiteku SERENADE, tadori tsukenai michi Tesaguri de tsukamu kimi no sugata Tashikana mono nado nai to tsuyoku ikeru no naraba… hokori	Lamentations of EL DORADO; you shout with joy Sink into the Birthless Blue LABYRINTH Just carve that interstice into your eyes Rotting SERENADE, the path of least resistance Fumbling to grasp your image If living a strong life without fortifications… Pride
いつかの懐かしい明日が待っている　 だから呼んで　どんな音でも欲しい	Itsuka no natsukashī ashita ga matteiru Dakara yonde, donna oto demo hoshī	In due time’s desires, waiting for tomorrow So call out, if you wish to hear any sound
錆びゆくエンゲージ　絡まるインフィニティ　 迷い込む蒼のラグナロクはすべてが始まる荒野　 最初も最後もある　 嘆きのエルドラド　君が叫ぶ歓喜　 無生れし蒼のラビリンスは無数の扉を開く　 その先にみつけるは・・・世界	Sabiyuku ENGAGE, karamaru INFINTY Mayoikomu ao no RAGNAROK wa subete ga hajimaru kōya Saisho mo saigo mo aru Nageki no EL DORADO, kimi ga sakebu kanki Mūmareshi ao no LABYRINTH wa musū no tobira o hiraku Sono saki ni mitsukeru wa… sekai	Rusting ENGAGE, Entwining INFINITY The Straying Blue RAGNAROK is the wasteland of everything’s beginning The Alpha and the Omega Lamentations of EL DORADO; you shout with joy The Birthless Blue LABYRINTH is opening countless doors Beyond that you will discover… the World

Note

The lyrics are taken from the CD insert. In the line tesaguri de tsukamu kimi no sugata (手繰りで掴む君の姿), there is quite likely a typo and it should be tesaguri (手探り); the rōmaji is transcribed according to what can be heard in the song. Additionally, there are several instances of non-standard readings of certain words (written in kanji) which are written in furigana in the CD insert, and can be heard in-song (e.g. unmei (運命) as sadame (定め)).
