Vocaloid Song
A Vocaloid song titled on the same name was posted on Nico Nico Douga with the vocals performed by Megumi Hayashibara and lyrics written by the author Hiroyuki Takei based on the poem.

The video received about 700,000 views within ten days of its posting leaving fans to questioned whether the art was actually Takei's and whether Megumi was really singing the song. Shueisha's official Jump X magazine website also posted the video and confirmed the fact on October 21 as the video creator's collaboration to celebrate the revival of the original manga with a new 44-page story in Jump X [Kai]'s fifth volume on November 10.
