Lyrics
Japanese
ガラス玉ひとつ 落とされた 追いかけてもうひとつ落っこちた ひとつ分の陽だまりに ひとつだけ残ってる 心臓が始まった時 嫌でも人は場所を取る 奪われない様に 守り続けてる 汚さずに保ってきた手でも 汚れて見えた 記憶を疑う前に 記憶に疑われてる 必ず僕らは出会うだろう 同じ鼓動の音を目印にして ここに居るよ いつだって呼んでるから くたびれた理由が 重なって揺れる時 約束は果たされる 僕らはひとつになる

English
A single glass marble fell, followed by another In a patch of sunshine made for one, only one remains When a person's heart starts beating, they assume a place, even if they don't want to and they stay to protect that place, so no one takes it away Even hands that you've kept clean will appear dirty before you have a chance to doubt your memory your memory will doubt you I'm certain we'll meet one another, our hearts which beat the same and will mark the way 'cause I'm right here, always calling out to you When all the old reasons start to lose their ground We will finish the promise And become one

Song Production Information
Jin Senbonmatsu
It's an impressive melody with a unique singing.
Also, the lyrics are noteworthy. The abstract and story-like lyrics make you feel as if you are reading a picture book.
There are as many picture books as there are listeners. I think everyone would draw a different ending, right?
Video Production Information
Asato Mifune
This is a very cool song, and I was glad to draw illustrations for it.
By all means, please play it a lot!
Masanori Kono
I felt that Asato Mifune's illustrations were drawn thinking about a "heart".
I tried to connect the hearts for each scene.
Eventually, the hearts of the boy and the girl become one...
In the end, I left it to my imagination. Uh, it's so sad...
