On September 30, 2023, a crowdfunding project was launched by Art One Entertainment to finish the documentary Maon Kurosaki: The Movie "If You Become Me That Day", which was scheduled to be released in Q2 2023, but was left in a state of uncertainty after Kurosaki's death. The documentary was aiming to follow the artist's path from the collapse in 2021, to the reemergence with the live event in July 31, 2022. To provide an insight into the film, a trailer was also released with the crowdfunding announcement, which was originally suggested by Kurosaki herself during a production meeting for the documentary.

Just believe
Maon Kurosaki Lyrics
溜息零れる ひとりきり
静寂と共に 褪せる心
雲が月を隠して
今夜も、暗闇の中
僅かな微笑み
Just believe.
君の名を呼ぶ
Just believe.
喉が嗄れても
私の声、聞こえてる?
信じて欲しい
「闇の中に、光はある」
渇いた両手を 包んでくれた日
温かい朝陽の下
眩しい笑顔に 励まされていた
どこかでまた 膝抱えて
君が曇ってしまいそうなら
今度こそ「守るよ」
Just alive
立ち向かうのも
Just alive
逃げ続けるのも
避けられない
運命の悪戯ならば
「負けたくない、負けられない」
この命が、尽きるまでに
成せる事なんて、ほんの少しだけ
もう多くは望まないから
今手の中に在るモノ
永遠に「守りたい」
Just believe.
降り注ぐ風
Just believe.
愛しい君の声
Just believe.
君がいる世界
Just believe.
美しい世界
もう二度と離さない
この腕の中
「希望-ヒカリ-を見つけた...」
静寂と共に 褪せる心
雲が月を隠して
今夜も、暗闇の中
僅かな微笑み
Just believe.
君の名を呼ぶ
Just believe.
喉が嗄れても
私の声、聞こえてる?
「闇の中に、光はある」
渇いた両手を 包んでくれた日
温かい朝陽の下
眩しい笑顔に 励まされていた
どこかでまた 膝抱えて
君が曇ってしまいそうなら
今度こそ「守るよ」
Just alive
立ち向かうのも
Just alive
逃げ続けるのも
避けられない
運命の悪戯ならば
「負けたくない、負けられない」
この命が、尽きるまでに
成せる事なんて、ほんの少しだけ
もう多くは望まないから
今手の中に在るモノ
永遠に「守りたい」
Just believe.
降り注ぐ風
Just believe.
愛しい君の声
Just believe.
君がいる世界
Just believe.
美しい世界
もう二度と離さない
この腕の中
「希望-ヒカリ-を見つけた...」
