Ending Theme 1

> "***The narrative and world-view of the story was a great motivation for the composition, and the time spent building the sounds with our trusted vocalist Mizuki and the musicians was very worthwhile yet short-lived.***"

か弱い光が指差す先

Silent Haze 霞がちに止まる影

ハチロクのリズム書き出される

ぎこちない Innocent Heart

Close my eyes and feel your order, make them see

Don’t know what I want, let go 夢見る

ジリジリ刻む

本当の世界笑えた？

Don’t you get there? It calls, it calls

仰いだ空が色変えるから

My naked heart can hear echos, echos

知らず求めた Avidity

拙い祈りが織りなす波

Modern Days 波間で埋まる足

鼓膜に響く音いつ蓋される

止めどない Rhythm heart

Plug my ears and fear you are the tendency

You don’t know how repressed you are, you make me blue

絶え絶え理想

本当の想いを拾えるか？

Don't you get there? It calls, it calls

一個じゃ希望開く螺旋のSong

My naked heart can hear echos, echos

あの日失くした Avidity

Whisper your name again

And restart it right away

Oh my, bitter colour, ardour, wander

Gotta feel it undercover

行方も知らない

Don’t you get there? It calls, it calls

仰いだ空が色変えるから

My naked heart can hear echos, echos

知らず求めた Avidity

Whisper your name again

Restart it right away

Oh my, bitter colour, ardour, wander

Gotta feel it undercover

行方も知らない

あの日の群青

Kayowai hikari ga yubisasu saki

Silent Haze kasumi gachi ni tomaru kage

Hachi roku no rizumu kakidasareru

Gikochi nai Innocent Heart

Close my eyes and feel your order, make them see

Don’t know what I want. Let go yume miru

Jirijiri kizamu

Hontou no sekai waraeta?

Don’t you get there? It calls, It calls

Aoida sora ga iro kaeru kara

My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes

Shirazu motometa Avidity

Whisper your name again

Restart it right away

Oh bitter color ardor wander

Gotta feel it undercover

Yukue mo shiranai ano hi no gunjou

Tsutanai inori ga orinasu nami

Modern Days namima de umaru ashi

Komaku ni hibiku in itsu futa sareru

Tomedo nai Rhythm Heart

Plug my ears and fake, you are the tendency

You don’t know how repressed you are, you make me blue

Taedae risou

Hontou no omoi wo hiroeru ka?

Don’t you get there? It calls, It calls

Ikko ja kibou hiraku rasen no Song

My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes

Ano hi nakushita Avidity

Whisper your name again

Restart it right away

Oh bitter color ardor wander

Gotta feel it undercover

Yukue mo shiranai…

Don’t you get there? It calls, It calls

Aoida sora ga iro kaeru kara

My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes

Shirazu motometa Avidity

Whisper your name again

Restart it right away

Oh bitter color ardor wander

Gotta feel it undercover

Yukue mo shiranai ano hi no gunjou

A faint light points ahead

To shadows stalled in a silent haze

A rhythm in 6/8 is written out

An uncomfortably innocent heart

Close my eyes and feel your order, make them see

Don’t know what I want, just let go and dream

So scattered and carved

Can you still smile after seeing the true world?

Don’t you get there? It calls, it calls

The sky I look up to changes in color

My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes

Avidity that I sought without even realizing it

Whisper your name again

Restart it right away

Oh, bitter color, ardor, wander

Gotta feel it undercover

We know not where that ultramarine may wander

Foolish prayers weave waves

Feet covered by the tides of modern days

A sound echoes, when might it be contained?

A never ending rhythm heart

Plug my ears and fake, you are the tendency

You don’t know how repressed you are, you make me blue

The ideals are all dying out

Can you still pick out the true emotions?

Don’t you get there? It calls, It calls

Just one hope will unleash a spiral song

My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes

Of the avidity we lost that day

Whisper your name again

Restart it right away

Oh bitter color ardor wander

Gotta feel it undercover

We know not where…

Don’t you get there? It calls, it calls

The sky I look up to changes in color

My naked heart can hear echoes, echoes

Avidity that I sought without even realizing it

Whisper your name again

Restart it right away

Oh, bitter color, ardor, wander

Gotta feel it undercover

We know not where that ultramarine may wander
