Lyrics
Japanese
今日も朝早くから 届いた新聞紙 3面の片隅で 誰かがキレていた 少年の犯罪を どこかの偉い人 ゲームのせいにして あっさり片付けた ママ真面目な顔して 考え込んでるけど 見ているのはテレビ欄 ニュースにさえならない ボク達の毎日が きっとこうして続いてく

Song Production Information
Sakurai
We were looking for vocalists, and we really got a lot of submissions for this one. I want users to experience not only playing games but also making music. It was a lot of work to link it with the homepage report, but I had a great time meeting Sakai.
Ono
When I listened to many of the entries, I was shocked by how powerful they all were. It took a lot of power for us to receive them.
Sakai also enjoyed it and devoted herself to the recording. We have made something that is enjoyable to listen to.
Video Production Information
None.
