"Why" from Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
"Why" is the theme song of Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. It plays during the game's final FMV, and J-Pop star Ayaka Iida performs it and wrote the lyrics for it. It was composed by Yoshihiko Nishio and Ayaka and arranged by L.O.E.
An instrumental version titled "Why (CCFFVII Mix)" plays after Angeal Hewley's last scenes in Modeoheim. The acoustic and electric guitars were performed by Hirokazu Ogura.
The song's country feel alludes to Zack Fair's "country boy" origins.
Lyrics
The official lyrics were released on the Clap & Love/Why singles and the Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Original Soundtrack.
- Japanese
- 瞳の奥が ぼやけて見えない
- 心の底の 気持ちはあるの？
- 世界の全てを手にしたとしても
- それがあなたの幸せなの？
- Why 孤独な空を見上げるの？
- Why 笑って見せてよ
- 言葉にするのが下手な
- あなたの性格わかるから
- 遠い昔に何があったの？
- 視線をそらす あなたの瞳に
- 一人で寂しい夜に抱きしめられる
- そんな温かさ知ってる？
- Why どうして形にこだわるの？
- Why 心を開いて
- 大きな荷物を背負った
- あなたを受け入れられる力
- あるわ 信じてみて...
- 自由な人は不器用で
- 自由な人は不安で
- Why 孤独な空を見上げるの？
- Why 笑って見せてよ
- 言葉にするのが下手な
- あなたの性格わかるから
- 信じてみて
- Rōmaji
- Hitomi no oku ga boyakete mienai
- Kokoro no soko no kimochi wa aru no?
- Sekai no subete o te ni shita toshitemo
- Sore ga anata no shiawasena no?
- Why kodokuna sora o miageru no?
- Why waratte misete yo
- Kotoba ni suru no ga hetana
- Anata no seikaku wakaru kara
- Tōi mukashi ni nani ga atta no?
- Shisen o sorasu anata no hitomi ni
- Hitori de samishī yoru ni dakishimerareru
- Son'na atatakasa shitteru?
- Why dōshite katachi ni kodawaru no?
- Why kokoro o hiraite
- Ōkina nimotsu o seotta
- Anata o ukeirerareru chikara
- Aru wa shinjitemite...
- Jiyūna hito wa bukiyō de
- Jiyūna hito wa fuan de
- Why kodokuna sora o miageru no?
- Why waratte misete yo
- Kotoba ni suru no ga hetana
- Anata no seikaku wakaru kara
- Shinjitemite
- Unofficial English translation
- The depths of your eyes are blurred, hidden from view
- Do you have any feelings deep in your heart?
- Even if you held the whole world in your hands,
- would that truly make you happy?
- Why do you gaze up at the lonely sky?
- Why don't you let me see you smile?
- You're not good at putting things into words
- I get the kind of person you are
- What happened so long ago?
- Those eyes of yours, averting their gaze
- To be held close on lonely nights spent alone—
- do you know that kind of warmth?
- Why, why are you so hung up on appearances?
- Why not open your heart?
- I have it in me to accept you,
- carrying an enormous burden
- on your shoulders. Believe in me...
- Free people are awkward,
- free people are insecure
- Why do you gaze up at the lonely sky?
- Why don't you let me see you smile?
- You're not good at putting things into words
- I get the kind of person you are
- Try believing in me
