Jin's Comment
❞To you who used to hate ‘adults’ and you who are no longer ‘children’. Suddenly, and also dramatically, we encounter ‘stories’ by chance. Those are emotional episodes that stem from everyday life, as well as experiences of fear that seem to invite the listener into something extraordinary. In a sense, rumors that paint everything as fictitious and all sorts of ‘stories’ never stop attracting our minds, no matter the era. Amongst the ‘stories’ that this world is filled with, there was one ‘summer story’ about certain boys and girls who were settled as main characters. The tale of their youth is tinted sometimes faint, sometimes vivid. By all means, I would like you who are still a child even now and you who have already become an adult to be dyed in a choking ‘blue’.❞

Lyrics & Translation
夕映えの向こう 今も浮かぶ景色がある
 * -|Original text=

にわか雨の音に 思い出せない言葉がある

こうしてまた出会えたんだ どうせならあの日あの時話せなかった

夏の終わりの話をしよう. (Unofficial Translation)
 * -|English Translation=

Beyond the evening sunset, there’s a sight that comes to mind even now.

At the sounds of sudden rain, there are words that I can’t remember.

We have met again like this.

While we’re at it, let’s talk about what we couldn’t at that time, on that day…

Let’s talk about the end of summer.
