Lyrics

Japanese

いつから幾度繰り返しただろう 
始まりの青い闇に目覚めては 
記憶の狭間を彷徨い続けてる 
光　辿り着くまでは

何処かで無くした影と　すれ違う 
鏡合わせね 
ほら私と同じ顔で 
微笑む

叫びは　時の流れの中に 
飲み込まれ　果てに届くこの声が聞こえる？ 
鏡の向こう側に触れたくて 
震える手を伸ばす

遠ざかってゆく記憶の中で 
どんな言葉よりも　生きていた証と時を

触れた指先　ただ感じているよ 
世界の果てで

Romaji

itsukara ikudo kurikkaeshi tadarou
hajimari no aoi yami ni mezamete wa
kioku no hazama wo samayoi tsuzuketeru
hikari tadoritsuku made wa

dokoka de nakushita kage to sure chigau
kagami awase na
hora watashi to onaji kao de
hohoemu

sakebi wa toki no nagare no naka ni
nomiko mare hate ni todoku kono koe ga kikoeru?
kagami no mukou kawa ni furetakute
furueru te wo nobasu

too zakatte yuku kioku no naka de
donna kotoba yori mo ikiteita akashi to toki wo

fureta yubisaki tada kanjiteiru yo
sekai no hate de

Song Production Information

Nekomata Master

A voice that cries out loudly yet cannot be reached.
A girl that has been confined and altered by two time spells.
I will try to tell their stories.

I do think that the alteration of time is a metaphor of how one wants to change the past.
But those wishes can never be fulfilled.
This is a sung story.

Aki Misawa

Hello, I am Aki Misawa, and I was in charge for the lyrics and vocals for this song.

I wanted this song to portray a sense of loneliness and distance while sounding good.
It was a lot of fun making the lyrics and vocals for this.
It was difficult to whisper the lyrics without sounding lethargic.
But it was very fun to sing this! It's the truth!

At the end of the world and of time, a lonely girl's voice calls out.
Please listen carefully to its meaning.

GOLI

Misawa's beautiful and gentle voice made the lyrics perfect.
(※ Personally, it is one of my favorites now)
Her ephemeral voice makes you feel uplifted as well as complimenting Nekomata's song style.
This is a worthy song to represent the "Present" phase.

A part of the song lyrics I listened to over and over again.
I think it was classic.

Two.
Times.
Girl.

Since this is the theme song for PENDUAL, I wanted to portray a point of time where time has stopped.
I put Celica and Erika as mirror images of each other to portray this.

There were a lot of characters and numbers that were added into chrono driver.
It was very hard to sync the characters and the backgrounds to the music.
I had to keep close attention to this.
