Kimino Shiranai Monogatari (君の知らない物語, The Story You Don't Know) is the closing theme song of the Bakemonogatari anime. It was performed by Supercell and was used from Hitagi Crab: Part 1 to Tsubasa Cat: Part 5.

Background

Ryo of Supercell was the one who composed the song's lyrics and arrangement of the track. Originally, vocaloid Hatsune Miku was chosen as the vocalist for the closing theme as part of Supercell's self-titled debut album in March 2009. Instead, Nagi Yanagi took over her place making their first release to not use a singing synthesizer.

Yanagi was chosen as the vocalist due to Ryo being a fan of her voice before uploading his songs to Nico Nico Douga in late 2007. Ryo's first song, "Melt", was covered by Yanagi roughly one day after the song's release on the platform. She herself was also a fan of Ryo's music and contacted him in collaborating songs together in the future.

<poem>
「あれがデネブ、アルタイル、ベガ」 君は指さす夏の大三角 覚えて空を見る やっと見つけた織姫様 だけどどこだろう彦星様 これじゃひとりぼっち

真っ暗な世界から見上げた 夜空は星が降るようで いつからだろう 君の事を 追いかける私がいた どうかお願い 驚かないで聞いてよ

私のこの想いを

<poem>
"Arega denebu, arutairu, bega" Kimi wa yubi sasu natsu no dai sankaku Oboete sora wo miru

Yatte mitsuketa Orihime-sama Dakedo doko darou Hikoboshi-sama Koreja hitori bocchi

Makkura na sekai kara miageta Yozora wa hoshi ga furuyou de Itsu kara darou kimi no koto wo Oikakeru watashi ga ita

Douka onegai... Odorokanai de kiiteyo

Watashi no kono omoi wo

"That's Deneb, Altair, Vega"
You point at the great Summer Triangle
I look up at the sky trying to remember

I've finally found Orihime
But where can Hikoboshi be?
Without him, she's all alone

Looking up from a world of pitch-black darkness,
The night sky seems to be flooded with stars
I wonder how long it's been
Since I started chasing after you

Oh, please...
Don't be surprised and just listen
To my feelings for you

Full Version

Original Japanese	Japanese Rōmaji	English Translation
いつもどおりのある日の事 君は突然立ち上がり言った 「今夜星を見に行こう」	itsumo-dōri no aru hi no koto kimi wa totsuzen tachiagari itta "kon'ya hoshi o mi ni yukō"	On a day just like any other, you suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go stargazing tonight!"
「たまには良いこと言うんだね」 なんてみんなして言って笑った 明かりもない道を バカみたいにはしゃいで歩いた 抱え込んだ孤独や不安に 押しつぶされないように	"tama ni wa ii koto yuun da ne" nante minna shite itte waratta akari mo nai michi o baka mitai ni hashaide aruita kakaekonda kodoku ya fuan ni oshitsubusarenai yō ni	"I guess even you get a good idea sometimes," everyone said as they laughed. On a road not even light, We frolicked about as we walked like fools To avoid being crushed by the loneliness and uneasiness we carried.
真っ暗な世界から見上げた 夜空は星が降るようで	makkura na sekai kara miageta yozora wa hoshi ga furu yō de	As we gazed up from this pitch-black world, the stars looked like they were falling from the night sky.
いつからだろう 君の事を 追いかける私がいた どうかお願い 驚かないで聞いてよ 私のこの想いを	itsu kara darō, kimi no koto o oikakeru watashi ga ita dōka onegai odorokanaide kiite yo watashi no kono omoi o	Since when, I wonder, have I been chasing after you? Please, please don't be startled and listen to these feelings of mine.
「あれがデネブ、アルタイル、ベガ」 君は指さす夏の大三角 覚えて空を見る やっと見つけた織姫様 だけどどこだろう彦星様 これじゃひとりぼっち	"are ga DENEBU ARUTAIRU BEGA" kimi wa yubisasu Natsu no Daisankaku oboete sora o miru yatto mitsuketa Orihime-sama dakedo doko darō Hikoboshi-sama kore ja hitoribotchi	"That's Deneb, Altair, and Vega," you say as you point at the Summer Triangle. I remember as I look at the sky. I finally found Vega, but where is Altair? I feel as if I were all alone.
楽しげなひとつ隣の君 私は何も言えなくて	tanoshige na hitotsu tonari no kimi watashi wa nani mo ienakute	You are by my side, enjoying yourself, and I, am unable to say anything.
本当はずっと君の事を どこかでわかっていた 見つかったって 届きはしない だめだよ 泣かないで そう言い聞かせた	hontō wa zutto kimi no koto o dokoka de wakatte ita mitsukattatte todoki wa shinai dame da yo, nakanaide sō iikikaseta	The truth is, I've always known somewhere inside, my feelings for you. But just finding them won't make them reach you. Don't. Don't cry is what I told myself.
強がる私は臆病で 興味がないようなふりをしてた だけど 胸を刺す痛みは増してく ああそうか 好きになるって こういう事なんだね	tsuyogaru watashi wa okubyō de kyōmi ga nai yōna furi o shiteta dakedo mune o sasu itami wa mashiteku ā sō ka, suki ni naru tte kō yuu koto nan da ne	I pretend to be strong but am cowardly I pretended not to care. And yet, the stabbing pain in my heart increases, Ah, I see, so that's what it means to fall in love.
どうしたい？ 言ってごらん 心の声がする 君の隣がいい 真実は残酷だ	dō shitai? itte goran kokoro no koe ga suru kimi no tonari ga ii shinjitsu wa zankoku da	"What would you like to do? Tell me." I hear the voice of my heart. I want to be by your side. But the truth is cruel.
言わなかった 言えなかった 二度と戻れない	iwanakatta ienakatta nido to modorenai	I didn't say it, I couldn't say it, I can never go back.
あの夏の日 きらめく星 今でも思い出せるよ 笑った顔も 怒った顔も 大好きでした おかしいよね わかってたのに 君の知らない 私だけの秘密 夜を越えて 遠い思い出の君が 指をさす 無邪気な声で	ano natsu no hi kirameku hoshi ima demo omoidaseru yo waratta kao mo okotta kao mo daisuki deshita okashii yo ne wakatteta noni kimi no shiranai watashi dake no himitsu yoru o koete tōi omoide no kimi ga yubi o sasu mujaki na koe de	That summer day those twinkling stars I still remember even now. Your face when you laughed, your face when you were angry, I loved it so much. Isn't it funny? Even though I always understood, you never knew my personal secret. The night rolls on In a distant memory, you point with your finger in an innocent voice.
