Being the ending theme of the first cour, it's heard from the episode "Pappiliodya" to "Samhain Magic". The song is not heard in "A New Beginning" because the opening theme, Shiny Ray, plays at the end of the episode. This song returns as the ending theme for the final episode, "Tree of Leaves".

I want to see the new world that will expand
Once we reach the shooting star we've been chasing so frantically
Rather than simply wishing for our wish to come true
If we just open this door, we can get even closer to it than before!
Let's search for a continuation of this story we can't bear to wait for
'Cause the future doesn't exist for any one person alone!
The scenery may change as we proceed, but we'll never forget
This twinkling sky, and the treasures we found along the way!
No matter if we were crying, laughing, eating, sleeping
Or felt a depression coming on...
Thank you for always staying by my side!
See you again, tomorrow!
