「貞明と綏子 陽成院」 (Sadaakira to Yasuko Youzei In)
“Sadaakira and Yasuko – Former Emperor Youzei”
The loose continuity Uta Koi features in its second episode is rather nice, giving it an unexpectedly cohesive feel and an added depth . More than that though, the use of poetry is thoroughly explored as a means to express one’s true desires and feelings.

「信じてました」 (Shinjitemashita)
“I Believed in Him”
It’s a fake within a fake – I see Kuroko’s been watching some Inception…
