The lyrical contents changed due to the changes in melody, and it was difficult to once again create the feelings of the world depicted in jun's lyrics. Anyways, this song took an extraordinary amount of trial and error, and I was satisfied when it was completed.

欲望と因果の狭間で 均衡を失い
脆くも崩れ落ちて行く 儚き星(いのち)よ
空は燃え 水は汚れ 大地さえ朽ち果て
今更 守るモノなど 何処に存在するのか?

どれ程の哀しみの中 祈りを捧げた?
届かぬと知りながら…

愛する 痛みを 知らない
絶え間ない 涙さえ 見えない
狂った世界に生まれて 運命を握るこの手を
只 憎んでいた

Ah...この世界の果てに、煌く星を数える、君…

『どうして、此の力がある?』

その意味を 探し続けていた
やっと今 初めて気付いた

『只、君を守る為』

その為に 全てを抱いて  駆け抜けて行く
二度と離さない!

巡り逢えた

Long Version

Japanese


欲望と因果の狭間で 均衡を失い
脆くも崩れ落ちて行く 儚き星(いのち)よ
空は燃え 水は汚れ 大地さえ朽ち果て
今更 守るモノなど 何処に存在するのか?

どれ程の哀しみの中 祈りを捧げた?
届かぬと知りながら…

愛する 痛みを 知らない
絶え間ない 涙さえ 見えない
狂った世界に生まれて 運命を握るこの手を
只 憎んでいた

虚無と絶望に導かれ 閉ざされた感情
視界は在る状況(モノ)だけを 映し続けて来た
不可逆な流れの先 終わりは一つだろう
例え此の手に 星(いのち)が託されていたとしても

誰かを望むことも無く 自由を守ってた
そう 君に 出逢うまでは…

愛する 痛みを 知らない
絶え間ない 涙さえ 見えない
瞳を覗き込んだ君は
「最後まで信じていて」と 寂しく 笑った

この世界の果てに、煌く星を数える、君…

そんなにも細すぎる両手で 揺るぎない夢を描く強さ
微笑み残して 去りゆくその背中に
凍てた心が 砕け弾けた

『誰の、何の為に此の力がある?』

その意味を 探し続けていた
やっと今 初めて気付いた

『只、君を守る為』

その為に 全てを抱いて  駆け抜けて行く
二度と離さない!

巡り逢えた

Song Production Information

jun

The "ultimate" world.

The "ultimate" love.

That's what I wanted to depict ────


When creating this song, I was asked to continue the worldview of "DoLL".
So, this fantasy worldview may also contain parts which give the impression that it's a sequel to "DoLL".
However, there's one big difference.
The story of "DoLL" is about a doll who sacrifices eternal life in exchange for instant love.
This is the opposite in "ULTiM∧TE".
It's all for "survival".
It's not just for myself either.
This story is about a warrior who fights to "protect" an important person.
Come to think of it, this is the first time I've written a story from a male perspective.
Perhaps there may be an opportunity to have a male sing it.

Even if I bet everything,
Even if I embrace everything,
Even if I sacrifice everything.
.... There's an existence which seems like this.

Will we be able to meet someday?

"You're the only one in the world....."

NAOKI MAEDA

This is the first song I composed together with jun.
I intended to create this song as the successor to "DoLL", and this pressure somewhat haunted me from beginning to end. The music content which troubled me the most was the chorus part, and although jun's chorus melody was completely great, it coincidentally sounded similar to a certain new song included in this current version, so I chose to change it, and only I created the chorus melody.
The lyrical contents changed due to the changes in melody, and it was difficult to once again create the feelings of the world depicted in jun's lyrics. Anyways, this song took an extraordinary amount of trial and error, but I was satisfied when it was completed.
