With this song that plays during the final scene and the ending, everyone held the same strong wish, didn’t they? “Please! Let us meet!” By chance they meet on a train, get off at the station, and search for each other.

And when the chorus kicks in, that scene made our hearts pound to the max.

It was the moment we were intoxicated by the beautiful voice of vocalist Yojiro Noda in the a cappella at the beginning of the track.
