Jin's Comment
❞Suddenly, and also dramatically, we are chosen as ‘protagonists’. Be it on the road to school that we are so used to taking, or in a park dyed blue, or at the corner of an isolated bedroom sinking in darkness, 'stories’ are handed over to us, and we get to write their continuation. There are certainly people dealing with loneliness out there. And also people who end up breaking down. People who met irreplaceable friends, too. Before we realize it, an all but dazzling color takes place in the 'story’ that we were bestowed with in the past. 'Summer’. What kind of colors are the aftermaths of our fights painted in, I wonder. I would be happy if, one day, I could hear about this color that was reflected in your eyes and about the 'story’ that you encountered.❞

Lyrics & Translation
エンドロールが終わった後で 今日も誰かが夢を見る
 * -|Original text=

次の話に期待して 次の世界を夢想する

終わった夏が続くなら 次はどんな話をしよう

大人になった君たちと どんな風に笑い合おう (Unofficial Translation)
 * -|English Translation=

After the endroll is over, someone will be seeing a dream today as well.

They will be looking forward to the next story and envisioning it.

If the summer that ended will continue, what story should we go with next time?

How will you all be laughing together, upon having grown into adults?
