Lyrics
Japanese
こんなに好きな気持ちが溢れる… 悲しいほど側にいたくて でも 君の背中霞んでいくよ どこへ向かうの？ 唇に愛しさを感じる度に 信じてた…君がいること… 儚く舞い散る雪を見ていた 最後の景色は白く切なくて 凍えた指先、二度と君に届かない 二人の足跡 残らず消えてく…
Romaji
konnani suki na kimochi ga afureru... kanashii hodo soba ni itakute demo kimi no senaka kasunde yuku yo doko he mukau no? kuchibiru ni itoshisa wo kanjiru tabi ni shinjiteta... kimi ga iru koto... hakanaku maichiru yuki wo miteita saigo no keshiki wa shiroku setsunakute... kogoeta yubisaki, nidoto kimi ni todokanai futari no ashiato nokorazu kieteku...

This is my first solo song, so it was a lot of work. But I'm glad that the song itself somehow went smoother than I thought. When I first heard ever snow, it was different to BeForU's previous strong beat songs, and I felt that it conveyed immense sadness.
I was given the song and lyrics, so my challenge was to get into the feelings of the creator. I felt, "I like it, and I can't help but like it". It was difficult (;^_^)
The key was a bit high for me, so I was very careful about how I voiced it. Even though this song is sorrowful, it's dance music after all, so I think I also carefully sang the rhythms.
I put a lot of thought into each song, and being my first solo song, I learned a lot and had a nice experience. Everyone please try to definitely play this!

It's an ordeal that I have to overcome because things did not go the way I intended.
I put my feelings into words, so I wonder if there are people who could sympathize or relate to me?
From now on, I would like to continue expressing such feelings in my songs.
My painful past experiences will someday be eliminated, so they will eventually turn into a distant memory......
A more attractive version of myself must be there!
Because I think heartbreak is a "trigger" to improve yourself.

I included ALICE in the movie's setting because she hates snow, since it reminds her of her hometown. I would be happy if I could express the sadness in her heart growing when she sees snow.
Oh yes, I often see the mystery of how Alice's surname is read on the internet, but it's not entirely spread around the company. I left it alone because the creator is alone and seems moe, which is shameful, but no matter how pitiful it's to explain, it's read as Ip. Sa○ly Yip and G○○ria Yip (deeply missed!) are also written in Japanese as "Ip", and it's written in kanji as "葉".
