Alice Peralta's vocals are spectacular in the ending theme, "CHANGE." Thanks to her impressive pipes, the song sounds fitting for the game's finale.

"Change" (stylized as "CHANGE") is the ending theme of Chocobo GP, composed and arranged by Hidenori Iwasaki. The lyrics were written by the director Akihiko Maeda, with English lyrics written by Anya Floris.
There are two versions of "Change": "Change Japanese Vocals ver." and "Change English Vocals ver.".
Both the Japanese Vocals ver. and the English Vocals ver. have different lyrics. The vocals for both versions were performed by Alice Peralta.

Lyrics[]
As far as the ending song was concerned, I came up with the theme with the intention of asking a pro to pen the lyrics, but a few complications arose, and I ended up having to write the lyrics myself. I came up with the theme pretty early on, but I didn't think I would be writing the whole thing, and the tone of the song changed quite considerably from how it initially sounded. Thus, I was worried that my lyrics would not match the music, and I'm honestly still not confident that they work as a song. Frankly, I feel like I was saved by Ms. Floris's English translation and by Alice Peralta's soulful vocals.
I wrote the song about one of the characters who shows up in the story; I hope players can figure out who.Akihiko Maeda, Chocobo GP Original Soundtrack
The official lyrics were released on Chocobo GP Original Soundtrack.
