遠く　私は　今　旅立ちます

まぶた　閉じれば　溢れる思い出

出会い　別れて　心で感じて

笑顔咲く　涙輝く　あの日々を忘れない

命の美しさ　そして儚さと

人々の優しさ　ありがとう

ノート　そっと　閉じるように

光へと　歩き出そう

さよなら　またね

あたたかいMemories

空が　呼んでる　新しい場所へ

高く　知らない　階段を登る

あの日　初めて　踏み出したように　歩く

大きな　明日を信じて行く

門出は潔く　今日という時を

仲間と祝い合おう　おめでとう

迷い　歌い　夢を見た　青春よ　永遠に

さよなら、みんな

Moving on to a new path

My journey here has ended

But when I close my eyes

I overcome with memories

I don't care

If we're apart

I'll always feel you in my heart

Your smile sparkling with tears

Forever in my mind from year to year

There's beauty to be seen in this world (This may be all ephemeral)

I've seen kindness heal the deepest wounds (So I thank you)

Our chapter has ended, but we'll be alright

Keep your gaze ahead and walk toward the light

Now it's time we say goodbye

But don't forget the memories

Toward a new place that the sky is calling out to,

Ascending a staircase whose height I don't know

I walk like I did on that day that I began my journey

I go on believing in that grand future

Let's get together with our companions

celebrating the time today that we gallantly set out (on our journey)! Congratulations!

Lost. Singing. It is the adolescence we dreamed! Forever!

Goodbye, everyone

Goodbye dear Diary

Moving on to a new path

My journey here has ended

But when I close my eyes

I'm overcome with memories

I don't care

If we're apart

I'll always feel you in my heart

Your smile sparkling with tears

Forever in my mind from year to year

There's beauty to be seen in this world (This may be all ephemeral)

I've seen kindness heal the deepest wounds (So I thank you)

Our chapter has ended but we'll be alright

Keep your gaze ahead and walk toward the light

Now it's time we say goodbye

But don't forget the memories

## Trivia

* + The ending theme, “Hikari e” (“Into the Light”), is a moving song sung by the girls from the perspective of dying and leaving for the afterlife. For a series filled with so much tomfoolery, it's a very melancholy note to end each episode. As a testament to how sad it is, the album cover shows the seven girls hugging each other on the verge of tears.
* Brina Palencia (Sakura's English voice actor, and the writer of the English lyrics) said that next to rap, this was the song that she was most proud of adapting the lyrics of.
