“Togetsukyo ~Kimi Omou~” was written specifically for the movie, so it synchronizes with its story.

Its gentle, measured melody and lyrics brimming with tragic love also carry strength and hope for the future.
Listening to it in tough times is sure to give you courage!
It seems like it has to be you.Ōishi Masayoshi
A track sung under the name Masayoshi Oishi by Masayoshi Oishi, who also performed as the vocalist and guitarist of Sound Schedule.

That feeling you have when you’re in love—where no matter what anyone says, you can’t accept anyone but the person you’ve fallen for—is a universal psychology, isn’t it? And the irresistible urge to see them, to know more about them, is a feeling anyone who’s experienced unrequited love can relate to.
This song sets those quintessential unrequited-love moments to a light, upbeat rhythm.
While unrequited love often brings on a sense of wistfulness, listening to this track will turn that feeling into something bright!
