==== Japanese ====
<pre>いつから　幾度　繰り返しただろう
始まりの蒼い闇に　目覚めては
記憶の狭間を彷徨い続けてる光
辿り着く理由は？
Ah...

どこかでなくした影と　すれ違う
鏡合わせね
ほら私と同じ顔で　微笑み

叫びは時の流れの中に
飲み込まれ
果てに届く
この声が聞こえる？
鏡の向こう側に触れたくて
震える手をのばす

遠ざかってゆく　記憶の中で
どんな言葉よりも
生きていた証と時を
触れた指先　ただ感じているよ
世界の果てで</pre>

=== Romaji ===
<pre>itsu kara ikudo kurikaeshita darou
hajimari no aoi yami ni mezamete wa
kioku no hazama wo samayoi tsuzuketeru hikari
tadoritsuku wake wa?
Ah...

dokoka de nakushita kage to surechigau
kagami awase ne
hora watashi to onaji kao de hohoemi

sakebi wa toki no nagare no naka ni
nomikomare
hate ni todoku
kono koe ga kikoeru?
kagami no mukou gawa ni furetakute
furueru te wo nobasu

toozakatte yuku kioku no naka de
donna kotoba yori mo
ikiteita akashi to toki wo
fureta yubisaki tada kanjiteiru yo
sekai no hate de</pre>

=== English ===
<pre>Since when have I countlessly repeated this?
I awaken within the pale darkness of beginning
Continuing to lost my way in between memories
What is the point in reaching light?
Ah...

Crossing paths with the shadow I lost somewhere
Like facing a mirror
See, with the same face as mine she smiles

Shouting within the flow of time
My voice was swallowed
It will reach the end
Can it be heard?
I want to know how it feels behind the mirror
I extend my trembling hand

Within memories that are going far away
More than any word
The time and the proof of living
Simply I feel them with the tip of my finger
At the end of the world</pre>

冷たく冴えた闇に抱かれたまま
眠るようにただ瞳を閉ざしては
祈りの言葉もなくした私はどこへ
辿り着くのだろう？

儚く消えてしまいそうな幻は　鏡合わせね
ほら私と同じ顔で　微笑み

願いは時の流れのままに　形を変えては
誰かこの声が聞こえる？
出会うことのないはずのあなたへと
震える手をのばす

遠ざかってゆく　記憶と共に
わずかな熱さも
生きていた証と時を
てのひらから全てすり抜けてくよ
闇夜の果てへ

どこかでなくした影と　すれ違う
鏡合わせね
ほら私と同じ顔で　囁く

叫びは時の流れの中に
飲み込まれ
果てに消える
その声を聞かせて
鏡の向こう側の私へと
震える手をのばす

遠ざかってゆく　記憶の中で
どんな言葉よりも
生きていた証と時を
触れた指先から感じているから
世界の果てで</pre>}}

Shouting within the flow of time

Within memories that are going far away
More than any word
The time and the proof of living
Simply I feel them with the tip of my finger
At the end of the world

Embraced by the crisp and cold darkness
I merely close my eyes as if sleeping
For me who has lost even words of prayer
What kind of place will I reach?

A phantom, ephemeral and prone to vanishing, like facing a mirror
See, with the same face as mine she smiles

Wishing within the flow of time, my voice changed shape
Can someone hear it?
To you who I am bound to never meet
I extend my trembling hand

With memories that are going far away
Even the small warmth
The time and the proof of living
Everything is slipping away from my hand
To the end of the dark night

Crossing paths with the shadow I lost somewhere
Like facing a mirror
See, with the same face as mine she whispers

Shouting within the flow of time
Your voice was swallowed 
It will vanish at the end
Let me hear it
To myself who exists behind the mirror
I extend my trembling hand

Within memories that are going far away
More than any word
The time and the proof of living
Since I feel them from the tip of my finger
At the end of the world</pre>}}

== Song Production Information ==
=== Nekomata Master ===
A voice that cries out loudly yet cannot be reached.<br>
A girl that has been confined and altered by two time spells.<br>
I will try to tell their stories.

I do think that the alteration of time is a metaphor of how one wants to change the past.<br>
But those wishes can never be fulfilled.<br>
This is a sung story.

=== Aki Misawa ===
Hello, I am Aki Misawa, and I was in charge for the lyrics and vocals for this song.

I wanted this song to portray a sense of loneliness and distance while sounding good.<br>
It was a lot of fun making the lyrics and vocals for this.<br>
It was difficult to whisper the lyrics without sounding lethargic.<br>
But it was very fun to sing this! It's the truth!

At the end of the world and of time, a lonely girl's voice calls out.<br>
Please listen carefully to its meaning.

== Video Production Information ==
=== GOLI ===
Misawa's beautiful and gentle voice made the lyrics perfect.<br>
(※ Personally, it is one of my favorites now)<br>
Her ephemeral voice makes you feel uplifted and compliments Nekomata's song style.<br>
This is a worthy song to represent the "Present" phase.

A part of the song lyrics I listened to over and over again.<br>
I think it was classic.

Two.<br>
Times.<br>
Girl.

Since this is the theme song for PENDUAL, I wanted to portray a point of time where time has stopped.<br>
I put Celica and Erika as mirror images of each other to portray this.

There were a lot of characters and numbers that were added into chrono diver.<br>
It was very hard to sync the characters and the backgrounds to the music.<br>
I had to keep close attention to this.

== Difficulty & Notecounts ==
beatmania IIDX difficulty rated from 1 to 12. (Ratings and notecounts obtained from [http://bemaniwiki.com/ BEMANIWiki 2nd].)
