Written specifically as the theme song for the film, this piece is a ballad with a profound message that portrays the ache of wanting to touch but being unable to.
It deeply links to the story of a protagonist suffering from mysophobia, torn between love and inner conflict, and the lyrics—about someone who gives you a reason to live even as you carry pain—truly resonate.
Released in February 2025 as part of the single “Spacecraft / Sailing,” it features an emotional sound that fuses R&B and ballad elements, with an arrangement that builds gradually from a quiet intro into the chorus—something that also lends itself well to guitar-and-vocal performances.
With BE:FIRST member RYOKI starring in the film and co-writing the lyrics with SKY-HI, you can feel the depth of emotion poured into the song.
It’s the perfect number for conveying your feelings to someone special through music.
