and is the second in a series of eight songs. This song has spawned a novel which has not been translated from Japanese yet. This song is similar to Circus Monster in the fact that they both deal with "deformed" circus performers, however this song is told through what an onlooker sees, as opposed to the thoughts of a performer. I find it interesting to look for the comparisons between the characters of this song, and those from the novel. The story acts as a sort of prequel to the novel and describes how a dream lures various "Alice's" into it. Hitobashira Alice (literally translated to Alice of Human Sacrifice) is a dark retelling of Lewis Carrol's classic novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The song takes a nice turn near the end when it is revealed the "monster" the protagonists sings about is herself. Similarly to I (love) this story also tells of a lost love and a male figure who causes conflict for the protagonist.
This song tells of a monster which resides in a circus and is forced to perform.
