Eventually Satake and Ito put the band on hiatus. After graduation the two continued to collaborate and exchange music even though Satake had taken residence in Tokyo during this period.

差し込んだ光と終わってしまう恋
明日からは別々の道てそんな突然

空っぽなこの広い世界に
語りだす瞳はあのままで...
僕を見つめそっと微笑む
なんでそんなシャンと
立っていられるのかな?縮まらない
何かを僕らは知っていたの?

どこまでも舞い散る君の声に

The lyrics in Nirgilis's song Sakura touch upon themes of lost love, separations, and the transitory nature of emotions. The song begins with the imagery of the morning light and a love that has ended. The singer seems to struggle with coming to terms with the abruptness of the separation and is unable to prepare themselves emotionally for it. The cherry blossom motif can be interpreted as a metaphor for the fleeting, fragile nature of love and beauty.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Sayonara Falling Love" which adds to the melancholic tone of the song. The singer addresses the person they have lost, bidding them farewell and expressing how much they will miss them. There is also a sense of longing and unanswered questions as the singer wonders if they both knew something that they couldn't articulate.
The final stanza uses the metaphor of the wide, empty world, and the singer's gaze that remains the same, pondering on the other person's ability to smile through the pain. The lyrics also reference the voice of the other person, the sound of the cherry blossoms, and the message conveyed by the singer's breath. There is a sense of ambiguity around whether the two might reconcile or whether their love has been lost forever.
Overall, the lyrics of Sakura are introspective and emotive, exploring the ephemeral nature of love and the pain of separation.

最近のゴリゴリアニメに寄せたような曲も良いけど、2000年代中盤くらいのギリギリアニメの世界観損ねない程度に留めてアーティストの自我を出していくアニソンも好きだなぁ
絶妙なオシャレさがたまらんね
