Background

 * After posted by Jin, this video quickly became the 1st in the Nico Nico Douga ranking.


 * The scenes take place after the events described in Kagerou Days. Hibiya, who is depressed after losing his friend and crush Hiyori, is trying to live with the fact, but is unable to do so. Momo tries her best to cheer him up by showing him stuff in life that are worth to move on for. By doing this he slowly lightens up, but as soon as Momo steps on a cat's tail, Hibiya is haunted by the memories of Hiyori, who liked to pet cats as well, falling back into depression. After several attempts to cheer Hibiya up with food and fun, they eventually end up in the park together. Walking by a playground he once again remembers Hiyori's death by getting pierced by iron piles and can no longer hold back his tears, crying out that he misses her. Desperate as she is, Momo grabs the boy and activates her power to show up him he is not alone, encouraging him to accept his eye power and past and no longer hold onto his grief. As she later wakes up on Kido's lap from exhaustion, she notices Hibiya shouting at the moon that he will give his happiness another chance. Seeing Momo that happy over his emotional chance he holds out his hand to hold hers, but hesitates. Seeing this Momo grabs his hand and pulls him along with her, all watched by her brother Shintaro.

“No matter what I do, it’s probably useless” I was watching a face about to cry

Words like “Don’t give up” Is definitely not enough!

“Then you gotta cheer up more Or tomorrow is going to daze too!”

I pull you out A bit forceful?

To the sunlight, feeling blue Truthfully, I’m worried about you

The eyes become watery “I’m such a coward, it’s done for….”

But I believe, because it’s you Look straight forward When it’s really done for, I’ll support your heart

Giving up saying “I’d rather” That’s not an option

Lets go together, yeah? Come on, lets break “alone”!

“I don’t understand what’s going on” You still look like you’re going to cry

Closing your eyes with only sighs This is not good!

“You gotta try harder Or feeling will disappear to tomorrow!”

Running through the city Definitely forceful

Evening, feeling blue The sunlight starts to go away At that moment

Immediately a mournful face

Without a sound, a tear dropped and disappeared

This horribly small world Bares its huge fangs Makes your heart look down and say “I wanted to be with you”

Even if small words Won’t reach you at all

I want to be your help

“I want to help you. Come on, make it come true!”

“I believe, because it’s you” Shout out your true voice “It’s definitely not done for! If you wish for it, you can meet again!”

With a deep breath To the moon far away, the cowardly you Shouted “I’ll do it!”

….well, that was a bit cool
