君に会いたくて 街を走り抜ける どうしようもないほど 胸が苦しくて 雨が架けていった 虹を通り越して 深い眠りの君を起こしたなら 真実を探しに世界の端まで きっとどこかに僕らのKeyがあるから そう信じていたい 夢も現実も 君が愛しい いつもの午後には 痛みさえ感じるくらい切なくて 君の瞳には僕は写っているのかな 今日こそは言わなくちゃ 遠くなっていく君 そんな気がして おりてくる天使の導きだけが今は頼りで 恋心君へ差し出した言葉 今は答えいらないから ただ取っていて 僕を動かした君の魅力 焼きつけて 夢で終わらないように 願い続けた 街の中で…

This ending movie is entirely filled with flashback scenes, and I discussed with TAKA about whether~ I could conclude the series with refreshing and somewhat sorrowful beat rock, which isn't Eurobeat, but full-fledged freshness as seen in youth-themed Japanese films, so colors provided this song, who make their first appearance in the IIDX series.
For this concept, I requested for the song without conveying its story, but it brilliantly matched the perspective that "this isn't the very end, but a conclusion which connects to the future".
Also, it's a mere flashback movie, so it wasn't time consuming to make at all, but when I watch it alongside the song, I noticed that its feelings were scattered in the right place, which poked into the core story of this song.
