Lyrics

Japanese

あなたが選んだ道　僕より遠回り
あなたはよそ見ばかり　僕だけ一人よがり

いつまでも　見ていても
君の背中　小さくなる

僕はココにいるよ
君の姿を見つけるために
君への想いを愛おしく思うから

Romaji

anata ga eranda michi boku yori toumawari
anata wa yosomi bakari boku dake hitori yogari

itsumademo miteite mo
kimi no senaka chiisakunaru

boku wa koko ni iru yo
kimi no sugata wo mitsukeru tame ni
kimi e no omoi wo itooshiku omoukara

Song Production Information

Hideyuki Ono

What do you think of this song, which I made as the sequel to "Seiron"? Isn't it fun (laughs)?
This piece covers the second movement from Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathetique".
It's a very beautiful melody. It's one of my favorite pieces.
Please listen to the original. Would you like me to play it for you (laughs)?
The vocals were sung by Ai Suzuki, the same singer as in "Seiron".
She has a lot of power. I feel very energetic when I listen to this song.

Video Production Information

Amamo

Nice to meet you~! My name is Amamo, and I have joined the development team for this game.

As this is the second part of the Seiron series (apparently), I decided to use the sea as opposed to outer space in the first part!
I often go to see the sea because my house is near a harbor..
The harbor at night is wonderful. It reminds me of my youth.
I sometimes feel twilight.
I'm thinking of going somewhere far away from here....

Anyway, back to the clip, the sea is the sea, but in the sea.
Going on a great adventure in a bukubukubukubuku submarine!!
The two of them will join forces to defeat the big enemy that will appear along the way~!!

By the way, what about "Cosmo", who appears as the New Seiron-chan, and her sidekick, "Vitamin"???
Please watch over Cosmo-chan, who is a bit of an airhead(?), and her brave(??) sidekick, Vitamin, as they go on their big adventure~.

If I get a chance, I might make them appear again!?
