Characters in Order of Appearance[]
Description[]
The opening begins with the Tessaiga flashing red along with the beat, as the sword transforms with Inuyasha wielding it. It then changes to Miroku holding his prayer beads to conceal the Wind Tunnel, Sango with Hiraikotsu, Kirara and Shippo, and Kagome with her bow as she shoots a sacred arrow. The title appears as the arrow shoots through, with the background changing into the mountains.
The scene then changes to Inuyasha and Shippo together watching a blue top spin, then Shippo uses his Smashing Top on Inuyasha. Feeling annoyed, he then smacks Shippo on the head, causing Shippo to cry and Kagome to quickly run over and yell "Osuwari!" at Inuyasha. She then sighs in frustration, and opens her math textbook to study. Kaede is seen to be gathering herbs in the village, tossing salt over her shoulder. Sango and Miroku sit back to back as she cleans her Hiraikotsu with Kirara watching them, as she glares at him. Miroku turns his head with a nervous glance, as a fresh hard slap is seen on his cheek. The background changes to a sparkling purple color, with Sesshomaru appearing at a side angle as Rin is behind him and looking up towards him with a smile. After a few seconds, Jaken comes running towards them and trips. Inuyasha and Kagome both face back to back, as they turn and glance towards each other.
The chorus starts with Kagome travelling through the well to the Feudal Era as she is seen floating through the scenery. As she continues, main characters appear on the screen, with the order being: Inuyasha's group, Sesshomaru's group, Koga and his group, and Kikyo with her soul collectors. We're caught with a quick glimpse of Naraku smirking, as it zooms out to show Kagura on his right, and Kanna at his left. Inuyasha turns towards them with a glare as a barrier forms around them. Inuyasha transforms his Tessaiga as it turns red and uses it to break the barrier, causing an explosion This power will be obtained around Episode 74. Towards the end of the song, the scenery changes to the mountains as Inuyasha and the rest of the group stand on a cliff, with Inuyasha showing off his Red Tesseiga. Pale yellow flower petals blow in the wind.
During the instrumental ending, a quick scene is shown with Rin resting on top of A-Un, with Jaken struggling to move them, but to no avail as he gasps in exasperation.
Lyrics[]
"Unending Dream"
the city in the georama of the heart
is sparkling with the light of hope
the dream that flew up with the wings of an ephemera
is something that we search for
the truth is always
hiding in the eyes bluely
where shall we go up to
our future roams around now
and we continue with our journey
the place of eternity, and endless dream
I want to chase after it without letting go of this hand
forever
in the ocean in the turquoise-colored heart
the signals of the ship of light can be heard
I need to go faster, for this impatient feeling
no words are needed
a lie is always
hiding in the words sweetly
let the two of us become one
holding on to the coward waves
we continue with our journey
the space between our hug
an endless dream
cutting through the rainbow
heading for the promised light
where shall we go up to
our future roams around now
and we continue with our journey
the place of eternity, and endless dream
I want to chase after it without letting go of this hand
forever
"終わりない夢"
心の中のジオラマの街は
希望の光できらめいている
陽炎の翼ではばたいた夢は
君と僕との探し物
真実はいつも瞳に潜んでいる 蒼く
僕等は何処まで行こう
2人の未来今流浪って
僕等は旅を続ける
永遠の在り処 終わりない夢
この手を離さず追いかけていきたい ずっと
ターコイズ色の心の海で
光の船の合図が聞こえる
早く行かなきゃ はやる想いに
何も言葉はいらないね
偽りはいつも言葉に潜んでいる 甘く
2人でひとつになろう
臆病な波の穂も抱きしめて
僕等は旅を続ける
抱き合う隙間 終わりない夢
虹を突抜けた 約束の光を目指す
僕等は何処まで行こう
2人の未来今流浪って
僕等は旅を続ける
永遠の在り処 終わりない夢
この手を離さず追いかけていきたい ずっと
