I thought about what kind of words I would sing if I were to send a cheer to Natsume and the demons, and I put a lot of love into this song. I hope this song will remain in your memories. I hope you will enjoy listening to the song along with the work. Thank you very much.

ED artist：Rei Yasuda
I sang this song while remembering the goodbyes I have experienced so far.
I would be happy if you could listen to the song while comparing it to the main character Takashi's growth after overcoming many goodbyes and fall in love with the work.
