Lyrics

Rōmaji

Itsu made mo oikaketeru anata no zanzou wo

Yume ni miru yokogao wa ano koro no mama de
Se no takai kusanami ni hashirisatte kieta

Omoidasu kioku wo kaki wake atoou boku wa
Modokashiku mo iki o kirashite saigo wa todokazu ni

Tooku

Nan nen mae no kotodeshou

Nido to modorenai ano basho ni
Oite kite shimatta boku no kokoro sa

Moshimo yume naraba tori modosenai no nara
Kono kimochi wa doushite tsutaereba ii no?

Imadani oikaketeru ano hi no zanzou wo

Kanashimi ni akekure nagara mo ima
Anata naki sekai de boku wa ikiru yo

Kanji

いつまでも追いかけてるあなたの残像を

夢にみる横顔はあの頃のままで
背の高い草並みに走り去って消えた

思い出す記憶をかけわけ後追うぼくわ
もどかしくも息を切らして最後は届かずに

遠く

何年前のことでしょう

二度と戻れないあの場所に
置いてきしまったぼくの心さ

もしも夢ならば取り戻せないのなら
この気持ちはどうして伝えればいいの?

いまだに追いかてるあの日の残像を

悲しみに明け暮れながらも今
あなたなき世界でぼくは生きるよ

English

Eternally chasing your afterimage.

In my dream I see the side of your face as it is in those days
vanished, running away into the back of ordinary tall grass.

I chase a distant reason to start recalling that memory.
I arrive at the conclusion out of breath, and irritated.

Far away.

What year that matter of the past is?

I'll never turn back to that place again.
My heart intent on leaving behind a "damn it".

If it's a dream then I don't want to get it back.
That's why it's alright to convey this feeling, right?

Even now I still chase that sunshine's afterimage.

Both morning and evening also this present, I'm in sorrow.
In a world without you, I'll try to live on.

Opening Sypnosis

In Konoha, it goes from day time to night time as Naruto and Sakura are walking in the village. Sakura looks back, and cries a tear into some water, where Sasuke's back is shown and the logo is presented. Three different of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are shown(Naruto holding Sasuke's headband, Sakura in her room looking at the Team 7 photo, and Sasuke awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan in the water). Naruto is then running through some fields, when he stops, tired and panting. In the same place, what appears to be Naruto's hair is shown as A attacks him, but the hair is shown to be really Minato's, who dodges. Minato is then fighting against B and knocks him back with a Rasengan, just before A is about to punch him with his Lightning Release Armour. He appears to have dodged using the Flying Thunder God Technique, but his face is then replaced with the fist of a younger B when first meeting A a long time ago. Gaara is then shown remembering his birth and harsh childhood. He cries, and forms is sand into a protective shield in his mother's image. Naruto stands on the head of the First Hokage's statue in the Final Valley, recalling his fight against Sasuke. Naruto, in Nine Tails' Chakra Mode, with B battle against Itachi and Nagato. Team 8 and Team 10 are shown with a silhouette of Asuma. Team Guy is shown and then Sakura, Kakashi, Tsunade and other ninja.
