Sonic Frontiers: Ending Theme and soundtrack sample

This week, SEGA have shared two music videos for Sonic Frontiers, their big “open-zone” Sonic game released this November worldwide. The first one is the ending theme, performed by ONE OK ROCK, and the second is a regular music track from the Original Soundtrack.

Let’s start with the ending theme: it’s Vandalize, from the Japanese band ONE OK ROCK.

Here’s the teaser video for the song, featuring some footage from the game:

If you really dig that song, you’re in luck: the full version is also available (legally!) on YouTube. It’s part of the band’s latest album, Luxury Disease, which is available for purchase and/or streaming on various platforms.

Here’s the full version of Vandalize (English and Japanese versions):

And here’s the lyrics of the English version:

Sound the alarm
Shatter me like glass
Covered in scars
But roses are coming through the cracks

Time that you killed
You promised to
Help me rebuild
You caught me off guard Sound the alarm

Said you’d keep me safe
Now you’re tearing me down
Am I laid to waste
Now that you’re not around
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart
Fuck the pain away
My bed is in ruins
Need you in my veins
Don’t know how you do it
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart

描かれていたモナリザは君のようさ
冷たくて後をひく微笑みがさ
カラクリじかけの魔法で
壊されて狂うように

何回もTrip
そして君にAddしたいのに
掴みようのない そうシルクのように

Said you’d keep me safe
Now you’re tearing me down
Am I laid to waste
Now that you’re not around
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart
Fuck the pain away
My bed is in ruins
Need you in my veins
Don’t know how you do it
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart

Oh you’re fucking crazy
Hate me love you
Breaking bottles on the pavement
Just to watch them crash

全て失っても
君はまだ そこにいると信じたかった
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart
虚しくても終わらせれない
諦めるほど強くはない
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart

何も無くなってから気付いた
はじめから君はいなかった
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart

And finally, here’s one of the tracks from the Original Soundtrack: “I’m Here” feat. Merry Kirk-Holmes (To Octavia).
