==Background==
"Yoru ni Kakeru" is a song composed by Ayase with two official versions, the one sung by ikura, which was uploaded November 15, 2019, and the other sung by Hatsune Miku. This song is based off Mayo Hoshino's short story "Thanatos no Yuwaku", which can be found on the social media site, Monogatary.

"Yoru ni Kakeru" has become an instant hit for Ayase, having peaked at number one on Japan Hot 100 and also receiving several accolades, including "Song of the Year" at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards Japan. The song also became viral on social media sites like TikTok and YouTube. Many derivative covers were uploaded after the songs release, several of which have exceeded millions of views.
A version of the song that utilizes Hatsune Miku NT for the Virtual Singer version was featured in the game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku.

==Lyrics==
Japanese (日本語歌詞) 	Romaji (ローマ字)
沈むように溶けてゆくように 	shizumu you ni tokete yuku you ni
二人だけの空が広がる夜に 	futari dake no sora ga hirogaru yoru ni
 	
「さよなら」だけだった 	"sayonara" dake datta
その一言で全てが分かった 	sono hitokoto de subete ga wakatta
日が沈み出した空と君の姿 	hi ga shizumidashita sora to kimi no sugata
フェンス越しに重なっていた 	fensugoshi ni kasanatte ita
 	
初めて会った日から 	hajimete atta hi kara
僕の心の全てを奪った 	boku no kokoro no subete o ubatta
どこか儚い空気を纏う君は 	dokoka hakanai kuuki o matou kimi wa
寂しい目をしてたんだ 	samishii me o shiteta nda
 	
いつだってチックタックと 	itsu datte chikkutakku to
鳴る世界で何度だってさ 	naru sekai de nando datte sa
触れる心無い言葉うるさい声に 	fureru kokoronai kotoba urusai koe ni
涙が零れそうでも 	namida ga koboresou demo
ありきたりな喜びきっと 	arikitari na yorokobi kitto
二人なら見つけられる 	futari nara mitsukerareru
 	
騒がしい日々に笑えない君に 	sawagashii hibi ni waraenai kimi ni
思い付く限り眩しい明日を 	omoitsuku kagiri mabushii asu o
明けない夜に落ちてゆく前に 	akenai yoru ni ochite yuku mae ni
僕の手を掴んでほら 	boku no te o tsukande hora
忘れてしまいたくて閉じ込めた日々も 	wasurete shimaitakute tojikometa hibi mo
抱きしめた温もりで溶かすから 	dakishimeta nukumori de tokasu kara
怖くないよいつか日が昇るまで 	kowakunai yo itsuka hi ga noboru made
二人でいよう 	futari de iyou
 	
君にしか見えない 	kimi ni shika mienai
何かを見つめる君が嫌いだ 	nanika o mitsumeru kimi ga kirai da
見惚れているかのような恋するような 	mitorete iru ka no you na koisuru you na
そんな顔が嫌いだ 	sonna kao ga kirai da
 	
信じていたいけど信じれないこと 	shinjite itai kedo shinjirenai koto
そんなのどうしたってきっと 	sonna no dou shita tte kitto
これからだっていくつもあって 	kore kara datte ikutsu mo atte
そのたんび怒って泣いていくの 	sono tanbi okotte naite iku no
それでもきっといつかはきっと僕らはきっと 	soredemo kitto itsuka wa kitto bokura wa kitto
分かり合えるさ信じてるよ 	wakariaeru sa shinjiteru yo
 	
もう嫌だって疲れたんだって 	mou iya da tte tsukaretan da tte
がむしゃらに差し伸べた僕の手を振り払う君 	gamushara ni sashinobeta boku no te o furiharau kimi
もう嫌だって疲れたよなんて 	mou iya da tte tsukareta yo nante
本当は僕も言いたいんだ 	hontou wa boku mo iitain da
 	
ほらまたチックタックと 	hora mata chikkutakku to
鳴る世界で何度だってさ 	naru sekai de nando datte sa
君の為に用意した言葉どれも届かない 	kimi no tame ni youi shita kotoba dore mo todokanai
「終わりにしたい」だなんてさ 	"owari ni shitai" da nante sa
釣られて言葉にした時 	tsurarete kotoba ni shita toki
君は初めて笑った 	kimi wa hajimete waratta
 	
騒がしい日々に笑えなくなっていた 	sawagashii hibi ni waraenaku natte ita
僕の目に映る君は綺麗だ 	boku no me ni utsuru kimi wa kirei da
明けない夜に溢れた涙も 	akenai yoru ni koboreta namida mo
君の笑顔に溶けていく 	kimi no egao ni tokete iku
 	
変わらない日々に泣いていた僕を 	kawaranai hibi ni naite ita boku o
君は優しく終わりへと誘う 	kimi wa yasashiku owari e to sasou
沈むように溶けてゆくように 	shizumu you ni tokete yuku you ni
染み付いた霧が晴れる 	shimitsuita kiri ga hareru
忘れてしまいたくて閉じ込めた日々に 	wasurete shimaitakute tojikometa hibi ni
差し伸べてくれた君の手を取る 	sashinobete kureta kimi no te o toru
涼しい風が空を泳ぐように今 	suzushii kaze ga sora o oyogu you ni ima
吹き抜けていく 	fukinukete iku
繋いだ手を離さないでよ 	tsunaida te o hanasanaide yo
二人今、夜に駆け出していく 	futari ima, yoru ni kakedashite iku
