Lyrics

Japanese

過ぎゆく時の中に 汚してしまう
君は残してくれたの 時の言葉
言霊は 風でなくなり
聞こえてたはずのリズム 消えてなくなる
君の目はやわらかに 大きな雫 受け止め
君は静かにうなだれて 大きなものを手に入れた 愛という

今はやわらかに 大きな愛を受け止めて
君はまだ続いてゆく 答えの出ないことなのに 終わらない

Romaji

sugiyuku toki no naka ni yogoshite shimau
kimi wa nokoshite kureta no toki no kotoba
kotodama wa kaze de naku nari
kikoeteta hazu no RHYTHM kiete nakunaru
kimi no me wa yawaraka ni ookina shizuku uketome
kimi wa shizuka ni unadarete ookina mono wo te ni ireta ai toyuu

ima wa yawaraka ni ookina ai wo uketomete
kimi wa mada tsuzuite yuku kotae no denai koto na no ni owaranai

Song Production Information

NAOKI

Yet another foray into another new genre for me, a 2-step song in Japanese.
The concept during initial production was a collaboration between myself and SLAKE, where we'd decide what to work on and go from there.
For various reasons, however, the version I set up as a demo ended up being put into the game.
If I ever reveal the original version at some point, I think you'll be able to feel just how different it is.

Video Production Information

None.
