Lyrics

Japanese

頬撫でる風も
目映い光も
熔けるから
もう迷わない
さよなら…

混沌に縛られた
その扉 開けた貴方
何故
滑らかなその指で
包み込んでくれた日々
何処

互い繋がる
不確かな約束
大切にしてた
貴方がくれたもの

刻まれた痕も
消えない記憶も
越えるから
もう追わないで
頬撫でる風も
目映い光も
熔けるから
もう迷わない
さよなら…

Trivia

Leaving...'s banner.

• Leaving... marks Seiya Murai's first original song in beatmania IIDX.
  • It also marks eimy's first song in BEMANI.
• Accroding to Seiya Murai, he was asked to make a song for the location test of beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD in mid-November 2005; two weeks before it started. This left him with very little time to find a vocalist, so he asked pop'n music CG designer eimy to sing the song. She accepted, as eimy loved to sing at karaoke bars.
• In the DanceDanceRevolution series, Leaving...'s artist was changed to seiya-murai meets "eimy".
  • It also features its beatmania IIDX video in the arcade releases, though it plays in the background of VANESSA's background dance stage and is not full-screen.
    • Leaving...'s background video was removed from DanceDanceRevolution (2013) on April 4th, 2013, due to technical issues. It was later restored on July 30th, 2013, now playing in the background of roppongi EVOLVED ver.D's background dance stage instead.
• The Chinese cover of Leaving... could be played on the DanceDanceRevolution series by playing Leaving...'s CHALLENGE chart.
  • As of DanceDanceRevolution A, the Japanese version of Leaving... will be played instead.
• Leaving... appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the beatmania IIDX Song Pack 2.
• Excluding mobile releases, the original Leaving... has never been on a CS release of DanceDanceRevolution.
  • The Chinese version has never been on any CS BEMANI release.
• Leaving... received a different Single NORMAL chart, a different Single ANOTHER chart, and a brand-new Double ANOTHER chart in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro.
