Overview
"Enrai: Tooku ni Aru Akari" is the band's eighth single and its last release in 2006. The title track is the third ending theme for the four-part anime feature compilation Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: Special Edition, and a special ending theme for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny HD Remaster in 2013. The song also appeared in Drummania/GuitarFreaks V4 as a cover, making the song playable on the arcade machine as well as the compilation album Tokyo Rock City.
The B-side "Kaerimichi no Orenji", was used in a commercial for the Wii game Bleach Wii: Hakujin Kirameku Rondo. The first pressings of the single came with a special pin-up featuring Gundam SEED Destiny main character Athrun Zala. The music video for the song was directed by Sueyoshi Nobu.
Sample of the translated lyrics:[1]
- We all cease to be connected by dazzling chance meetings, I won't leave you again
- Here, we drew our fingertips, which once touched, back toward ourselves
- Your overly radiant form, and small whisper
- Seem to connect us together and heal us, who are tangled together...
- Because I won't pretend to give up
