I ended up becoming an adult
+
You remain two sides of the same coin - still a child
+
I ended up spitting out those words
+
And now I can never take them back
+
At the end of these unreachable feelings
+
There's no such thing as "right" - so please, just like this
+
In the passing seasons we missed each other
+
I was crying... surely, just like that
+
Can't believe it, can you?
+
Despair? Emotion?
+
The once-white night turns endlessly black
+
Ah, has everything changed now? I don't know anymore!
+
Still, I kept connecting each moment
+
Hoping today, somehow, my wish might come true
+
Don't stop!
+
The adult-like heart I stole from you
+
I won't forget it again
+
Even if we've both become adults
+
We haven't changed
+
It's okay now
+
The adult-like heart I stole
+
I still won't forget
+
Even if I've changed, I'm still me
+
Regret and a wished-for prayer
+
Children - me
+
I don't understand anything
+
Believe in the feelings that came true
+
Because I... won't come to an end!
+
[Full Version Continues]
A sharp knife
+
Words have an edge just as painful
+
A weakened life
+
The desolate inside of my heart hurts so much
+
"Bye-bye, see you tomorrow"
+
I'm afraid of you forgetting
+
In the end, isn't that all we're ever measured by, the two of us?
+
[thanks for visiting animesonglyrics.com]
Despair, and even pure feelings
+
A certain yet uncertain voice, pretending not to know love
+
Is this how we keep living?
+
I can't keep smiling if it's forced
+
The "truths" that died, left ambiguous
+
Are proof of something adult-like
+
Despair, purity, and fate - all in quotation marks
+
Oh well...
+
The adult-like heart I stole
+
I still won't forget
+
Even if we've both become adults
+
We haven't changed
+
It's okay now
+
The adult-like heart I stole

I still won't forget

+
大人になってしまいました
+
あなたは表裏一体 子供のまま
+
言葉を吐いてしまいました
+
私は今後一切取り消せぬまま
+
届かない思いの先に
+
正しさなんてなくて どうかこのまま
+
すれ違う季節の間に私が
+
泣いてました きっとそのまま
+
信じらんないね
+
絶望？感動？
+
白くなった夜は耐えず黒くなって
+
ああ何もかんももう変わらない？わからない！
+
どうしたってまたこの瞬間を繋いでいた
+
今日はきっと叶えられますように
+
don't stop！！
+
あなたから奪ったアダルトチックな心
+
また忘れないから
+
大人になった私もあなたも
+
変わらないから
+
もういいよ
+
奪ったアダルトチックな心
+
まだ忘れないから
+
変わってしまったわたしもわたしだから
+
後悔と願った祈り
+
チルドレン 私
+
何もわかんないから
+
叶った思い、信じて
+
ただし、私終わらないから！
+
[この先はFULLバージョンのみ]
尖ったナイフ
+
言葉には同じくらい痛い切先があって
+
弱ったライフ
+
心の殺風景の奥がずっと痛くて
+
「バイバイじゃあねまた明日」
+
忘れてしまうあなたが怖くて
+
大体そんなものでしか測れないね、私たち
+
[アニメソングリリックスのご利用ありがとうございます]
絶望も純粋だった感情
+
確かで不確かな声も愛も知らないフリして
+
生きていくんですか？
+
無理して笑えないな
+
曖昧にして死んでいった「本当」が
+
アダルトチックの証です
+
絶望も純粋も運命も鉤括弧
+
まあいっか
+
奪ったアダルトチックな心
+
また忘れないから
+
大人になった私もあなたも
+
変わらないから
+
もういいよ
+
奪ったアダルトチックな心
+
まだ忘れないから
+
変わってしまったわたしもわたしだから

奪ったアダルトチックな心

また忘れないから

Description: Opening Theme
From Anime: SANDA
From Season: Fall 2025
Performed by: yama
Lyrics by: Yuuta Kakizaki (柿崎ユウタ)
Composed by: Yuuta Kakizaki (柿崎ユウタ)
Arranged by: Yuuta Kakizaki (柿崎ユウタ)

The setting: near-future Japan, facing an era of extreme population decline.
Children have become national treasures, carefully protected and managed by adults in full-boarding schools.
In this world, Santa Claus, once a symbol of dreams and hope for children, is now considered a dangerous figure—and targeted for elimination.
On a snowy December 25th, middle schooler Kazushige Mita finds himself targeted for assassination by his classmate, Shiori Fuyumura.
She has discovered that Mita is a descendant of Santa Claus—and hopes to have her wish granted by him.
"Santa, please help me find my friend."
Shiori's wish is to find her missing best friend, Ichie Ono.
To protect the children and grant this wish, Mita resolves to become Santa Claus himself—and take up the fight against the adults!
Based on the original work by Paru Itagaki, the award-winning creator of BEASTARS, which took home the Grand Prize at the 2018 Manga Taisho and swept numerous other major manga awards.
Animation is produced by Science SARU, known for standout works like Dandadan and The Colors Within.
Paru Itagaki × Science SARU
A Santa Claus hero action story that explores the bonds between adults and children—now begins!
