| Album | Mekakucity Reload |
Wasurete Shimatta Natsu no Owari ni (忘れてしまった夏の終わりに) is the eighth song featured on the album Mekakucity Reload.
Background
- The song does not have an official music video.
- From Jin's childhood experiences, fireworks equate to "summer's end" (an element of which also occurs in the final novel in the Novel Route, Kagerou Daze VIII -summer time reload-). Therefore, the (official) English title of the song "Wasurete Shimatta Natsu no Owari ni" is "Fireworks in the Summer End".[1]
Jin's Comment
❝ There are people who have changed ‘me’. There are people who have given ‘me’ life. No matter what, I don’t have enough words when those people are before me. Surely, I wouldn’t be able to convey this feeling by repeating ‘thank you’. There are people I can’t go see anymore. There are days I can’t go back to anymore. We, who can’t walk facing backwards, can only head forward. I believe that’s definitely the reason why we’re able to dream about the ‘future’. To you, who continue walking while wishing, ‘one day, once again’, I dedicate this song at the end of a prolonged summer. ❞[2]

(Unofficial Translation)
No longer hanging my head, I gazed into your eyes
I repeated “sorry” and “thank you” over and over again
In front of a detour, this is the final story
To fasten it together (to plunge into grief), to file it away
I said my goodbyes
Underneath the moon
The thoughts that came to mind were only fun things, so…
At the very least, don’t mourn or regret
Until our farewell, don’t let go of my hand
My breathing stopping, I raised my eyes
The color of the lit up flowers (fireworks) was beautiful
The days of that moment passed by in memories
Following the hand that gripped them
The ocean of stars being beautifully embellished
The summer’s flowers creating a full moon
If the things of today were told again (as a story),
I would be happy [3]
