| 世界に取り残さないで | sekai ni torinokosanaide | And I've forgotten even your scent |
| どうか神様 | douka kamisama | Please God |
Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:
Since I'm not working with a school setting this time, but trying my hand at science fiction, I took on the task of creating a profound trance song like "Flaming June" by BT, who is the subject of my endless admiration, and wrote this song four years ago. Even when I listen to it now, MANYO-san's arrangement, which responded to my requirements, feels amazing, and including Nagi-san's heartfelt vocals, I feel that it has become worthy of being the theme song of a great work.
