這作品出自才女菅野よう子（Yoko Kanno）之手，是攻殼機動隊TV版片頭曲，名為“Inner Universe”是和在日本發展的俄羅斯籍歌手Origa合作的，Origa的音域十分寬廣，用俄語和英語交織唱出的如天籟般的詩句──背景則是菅野急速有力的電聲配器，兩種乍聽不搭嘎的效果配合起來確實天衣無縫，難怪老外的GITS fans說︰Yuko Kanno + Origa = Awesome

Inner Universe

Lyrics: Origa/Shanti Snyder

(Romaji Lyrics)

Angely i demony kruzhili nado mnoj
Razbivali ternii i zvyozdnye puti*
Ne znaet schast'ya tol'ko tot,
Kto ego zova ponyat' ne smog...

I am Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...

Stand alone... Where was life when it had a meaning...
Stand alone... Nothing's real anymore and...

...Beskonechnyj beg...
Poka zhiva ya mogu starat'sya na letu ne upast',
Ne razuchit'sya mechtat'...lyubit'...
...Beskonechnyj beg...

Calling Calling, For the place of knowing
There's more that what can be linked
Calling Calling, Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning Yearning, for what's left of loving

Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...
Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...

(English Translation)

Angels and demons were circling above me
Breaking the hardships and starry ways*
The only one who doesn't know the happiness
is the one who couldn't understand his call

I am Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
To stay myself longer...
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
To stay myself longer...

Stand alone... Where was life when it had a meaning...
Stand alone... Nothing's real anymore and...

...Endless run...
While I'm alive, I can try not to fall while flying,
Not to forget how to dream... how to love
...Endless run...

Calling Calling, For the place of knowing
There's more that what can be linked
Calling Calling, Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning Yearning, for what's left of loving

To stay myself longer...
Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
To stay myself longer...
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
To stay myself longer...
