Lyrics

Japanese

いつから
幾度
繰り返しただろう
始まりの碧い闇に目覚めては

記憶の狭間を
さまよい続けてる光
辿り着く理由は?Ah...

どこかで失くした影とすれ違う
鏡合わせね
ほら私と同じ顔で

微笑み

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
震える手をのばす

遠ざかってゆく記憶の中で
どんな言葉よりも
生きていた証と刻を
触れた指先から感じているよ
世界の果てで・・・

Romaji

itsukara
ikudo
kurikaeshita darou
hajimari no aoi yami ni mezamete wa

kioku no hazama wo
samayoi tsuzuketeru hikari
tadori tsuku wake wa Ah...

dokoka de nakushita kage to surechigau
kagami awase ne
hora watashi to onaji kao de

hohoemi

sakebi wa toki no nagare no naka ni
nomikomare
hate ni
todoku
kono koe ga kikoeru?

kagami no mukou gawa ni furetakute
furueru te wo nobasu

toozakatte yuku kioku no naka de
donna kotoba yori mo
ikiteita akashi to toki wo
fureta yubisaki kara 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.

Video Production Information

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 and compliments 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 diver.
It was very hard to sync the characters and the backgrounds to the music.
I had to keep close attention to this.
