Mediator

**Length** | 4:43 (Full song)1:30 (TV version)

***Mediator*** is the first ending of *Fumetsu no Anata e (Anime).* The TV series for the ending used an instrumental version of the song. It was introduced in Episode Two as an ending theme and continued until the season one finale.

## Summary

Masashi Hamauzu, the composer of Mediator, wrote on the official website for the Fumetsu no Anata e anime:

>
> "The words “You have to live” came to my mind as I commenced work on this. And in blatant defiance of my – shall we say – embarrassment at such a concept, this “command” clung to my core and would not leave, pulling me all the way to the end. I think that’s how powerful the title TO YOUR ETERNITY was for me. It was also a time when the world was facing something that required all of us to really think about these words. I was very much influenced by that as well. If it had been my usual self, the fifth bar (0:14 on) would have turned out differently.
>
>
> If I were to express “You have to live” as something gentle and empathetic, the music would not have ended up as it did. Nor did I intend for a statement of encouragement or fortitude. I suppose it was more like, “Even when you are desperate just to stay alive, life throws all this stuff onto you – burdens be gone!”
>
>
> I felt this was much more tangible and logical than gentleness or encouragement. My usual self would have made that fifth bar sound gentle or given it wider scope. But instead, the phrase naturally progressed towards something strong, something that repelled all outside gazes. In the end, the entire piece took on a rock ’n roll-kind of feel, telling everyone to hell with you, shut up! It was all as rude and arrogant as that. One of the musicians really got a kick out of this and jokingly asked, “What were you thinking?” I was quite pleased about that.
>
>
> I want to thank everyone involved, the staff, the musicians, and most of all Yoshitoki Oima, who as author of the original manga gave me such a powerful theme to work with, as well as came up with a spot-on title for the piece."
