Wowaka, who composed the lyrics and made the arrangements for the song, posted a couple tweets relevant to it.
| そんな訳で魔法少女まどか☆マギカBlu-ray&DVD第5巻に収録・第9話「そんなの、あたしが許さない」のEDは美樹さやか [喜多村英梨]・佐倉杏子 [野中藍] が歌うTV未放送の楽曲となり、完全生産限定版の特典CDには同曲のFull ver.とインストが収録されます。とのこと。Source |
| So yes, the ending song for the Blu-ray and DVD Volume 5 version of Episode 9 "That, I Cannot Allow" will be a song never before broadcast, sung by Sayaka Miki (Eri Kitamura-san) and Kyoko Sakura (Ai Nonaka-san). There will also be a limited edition CD being released simultaenously with the full version and the instrumental. So yeah. I composed, wrote lyrics for, and arranged the ninth original ending song "and I'm home" for the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Blu-ray and DVD Volume 5, being released 8/24. Vocals: Sayaka Miki (Eri Kitamura-san) and Kyoko Sakura (Ai Nonaka-san). |
| 喜多村さんも野中さんもとても気さく、かつ丁寧で謙虚な方で歌録りも適度な緊張感のもとスムーズに行えました。すごいいい曲になったんでぜひ聴いてもらえたらと思いますー。Source |
| Kitamura-san and Nonaka-san were very good-natured. Thanks to their politeness and kindness, the recording went smoothly despite a bit of tension. And I think it turned out to be a really good song, so you should listen to it. |
Lyrics
| Original | Romanization | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| 錆びついた心、音もない世界、何を見てるの？ またねを言える顔を探すよそれを繰り返すだけ |
Sabitsuita kokoro, otomonai sekai, nani o miteruno? Matanewo ieru kao o sagasuyo sore o kurikaesu dake |
(Kyoko) Two hearts rusting together, a world without sound; what do you see? (Kyoko) Searching for the face that will say "see you again," I want to do this all over again. |
| 何度目の気持ちだろう ここにある温もりは 間違いでも構わない、傍にいること |
Nandome no kimochi darou koko ni aru nukumori wa Machigai demo kamawanai, soba ni iru koto |
(Duet) No matter how many feelings there are, there is warmth here. Even if it's a mistake, it won't change the fact that I'll stay by your side. |
| 強がりの声も掠れたな、と夢に落ちるの 抱えた膝、目を落とすとすぐに崩れてしまいそうで |
Tsuyogari no koe mo kasureta na, to yume ni ochiru no Dakaeta hiza, me o otosu to sugu ni kuzurete shimai soude |
(Sayaka) Showing a false bluff of courage with a cracking voice, the dream comes to an end Holding my knees, my gaze drops and I quickly crumble. |
| 単純で無邪気な顔 くしゃくしゃの思い抱いて 迷い込んだ場所さえ優しすぎて |
Tanjun de mujaki na kao kushakusha no omoi daite Mayoikonda basho sae yasashi sugite |
(Duet) With a simple innocent face, our crumpled (disheveled) emotions embrace. Even if we've lost our way in this place, there is warmth. |
| ここにいるよ ここにいるよ |
Koko ni iru yo Koko ni iru yo |
(Duet) I'm right here. I'm right here. |
