My speculated reason for the sudden ending of take 5 is this:
(This is only spectaculation. I read the album as a story) As Hikki mentioned in the SSTV interview, the album deals with Death. So my guess is that the sudden ending means Death and possibly a sudden one. As I am open to any views on life after death. One of the beliefs I have is reincarnation. So, the end of take 5 signifies the end of an individual's life. and his spirit reincarnates and takes a different form. i.e. it become a child again and lives on earth as we can see from boku wa kuma. Then we follow this individual as it grows from a child to teen (in Rainbow-colored Bus) and finally to an adult (Flavor of Life) Notice that there is a version of FOL already earlier on the album. This shows that the person earlier on who had died during Take 5 is the same as the only we are hearing about now. The person is only taking a different form To put it graphically <-------------------------------------------------------> FOL (ballad) Take 5 Boku wa Kuma RCB FOL ^----------------------------------------------------^ Same song but different versions, same theory applies to my idea of the HEART STATION perso's life. |

huh... I always thought that it just cut off because it was a bad quality download but now that you mention it I think it was intentional and symbolic I think also that the death doesn't have to be physical, it can be an emotional death so to speak in that someone has a revelation and changes their ways... ya know?

an explanation has been provided in the staff diary on Hikki's Website.
according to the message, the song's ending is intentional. the length of the song is 3 minutes and 42 seconds. well, there you go! mystery solved =) |

That explanation makes sense. ^_^ I think it would be cool if there was an after life but I think there probably isn't one. I think it's just nothingness, it seems restful that way.
