1. second last paragraph should be 答え　instead of 想い

   • It’s one of those occurrences – you see – when the written and spoken version differs highly.
     It is written as 想い in the official lyrics, although it is read as こたえ. Conveying a meaning such that the answer (kotae) is being his or her thoughts (omoi) or the other way around.
     It’s a widely used play on furigana – since it can be only used in written form – to expand or in some cases to clarify the meaning.
     For example the other day I saw something like this: the spoken phrase was パトリオット but in the subtitle you could read 愛国者.
     And so on and so forth, you can also see jokes created thus, e.g. in the manga One Piece there is a lot of these, kanji with different furigana than what you’d expect, establishing quite funny situations which are usually lost in the translated or animated versions.

   • When I update a song to full, it usually consists of the official lyrics – part of learning Japanese is being cognizant of and researching / cross-referencing these details. :)

     To be fair, I took out other sites’ parenthetical clarifications because I thought they looked tacky. It’s furigana in the lyric book iirc~

   • You’re welcome :D
     I was just thinking today about how some people may not know about it until CD release if they’re not watching the show – I’m not even watching it myself; glad you found your way here!

     • You should totally watch it! Hehe. The characters are awesome, not to mention the music’s bad ass! Especially their first opening song.
