A Distant Voice/Chance Traveler
A Distant Voice/Chance Traveler, is a song created by Vella Wilde and her ex-boyfriend. In our reality, it was composed by Andrew Allanson, produced by Calum Bowen. Mika Maruyama wrote the lyrics and also provided the vocal performance.
The YIIK Vinyl soundtrack calls the song by a slightly different name, "Distant Voice - Chance Traveler".
Story[edit | edit source]
After the disappearance of her romantic partner, Vella refused to play live or release the song publicly. Due to legal pressure, Vella had to schedule a release of the song on May 22nd, 1998, plus a year-long tour promoting it.
Alex interestingly asks Vella if the male voice in the song was supposed to be her ex-boyfriend, to which Vella says that she didn't recognize the voice. Of course, the song we hear doesn't seem to have male vocals, implying the song the characters heard was different.

Japanese[edit | edit source]
瞳を閉じれば言葉などいらなくて 君と響きあう くすんだ世界に光が差した どうか永遠の愛に照らされたい 最後のその日まで 君のいない夜に戻れるほど強くなれない 穏やかにまどろむ このままでいさせて
English[edit | edit source]
When I close my eyes, words are not needed I resonate with you A light shines on this dull world Please let my everlasting love shine on me Until the last day I can't be strong enough to go back to the night without you Slumbering peacefully Let me stay like this
