Re:Re:

Re:Re: (pronounced R-E-R-E in English) is a song performed by Japanese Rock Band Asian Kung-Fu Generation from the album Sol-fa, released on October 20, 2004. In 2016, the song was rerecorded and primarily featured as Boku Dake ga Inai Machi ' s opening theme. In Flashing Before My Eyes, the song is used for ending credits. In Treasure, a graffiti under the bridge spells out "Re:Re:", which is used to commemorate the anime's opening theme.

Artist comment
"We are very honored and happy that our song "Re:Re:" will be used as the opening theme for "Boku Dake ga Inai Machi". I read the original manga with great excitement (sometimes going back to the pages) and was very much looking forward to the anime adaptation. (I had also made a reservation to record the first episode of the anime, but ended up watching it in real time. LOL)

"Re:Re:" is a song we wrote in 2004, but when we read the lyrics again, there are many links to the story, and we were able to go into the recording with a new feeling. We would be happy if you love this song along with the story.

We look forward to enjoying the future development of the anime together with you."

Lyrics
Japanese= 君を待った 僕は待った

途切れない明日も過ぎて行って

立ち止まって振り返って

とめどない今日を嘆き合った

記憶だって 永遠になんて

残らないものとおもい知って

僕はずっと掻きむしって

心の隅っこで泣いた そして

どうか なくさないでよって

高架下 過ぎる日々を

後悔してんだよって

そう言い逃したあの日

繋ぎ合った時もあった

ほどけない感情持ち寄って

それが僕のすべてだった

それもたった今 失くしたんだ

形だって 時が経って

変わりゆくものとおもい知って

僕はずっと掻きむしって

塞がれた今日を恨んだ そして

どうかなくさないでよって

高架下 過ぎる日々を

後悔してんだよって

そう言い逃したあの日

君を待った 僕は待った

途切れない明日も過ぎて行って

僕は今日も掻きむしって

忘れない傷をつけているんだよ

君じゃないとさ
