To the seaSenchimirimentaru

Created as an insert song for the animated film “Given: Umi e” (Given: Into the Sea), this piece is a gemlike love song that delicately portrays memories and parting, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement by Centimillimental’s Atsushi.

It weaves together the loneliness of growing distant from someone you love, the bittersweet ache of recalling them, and the desire not to forget—rendered as universal emotions that feel like experiences shared by everyone.

The song is included on the album “for GIVEN,” released in February 2025.

It’s a track that will resonate with anyone who thinks of someone dear and wishes to preserve those memories forever.
