"Why" from Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
"Why" is the theme song of Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. It plays during the game's final FMV, and J-Pop star Ayaka Iida performs it and wrote the lyrics for it. It was composed by Yoshihiko Nishio and Ayaka and arranged by L.O.E.
An instrumental version titled "Why (CCFFVII Mix)" plays after Angeal Hewley's last scenes in Modeoheim. The acoustic and electric guitars were performed by Hirokazu Ogura.
The song's country feel alludes to Zack Fair's "country boy" origins.

- Japanese
- 瞳の奥が ぼやけて見えない
- 心の底の 気持ちはあるの？
- 世界の全てを手にしたとしても
- それがあなたの幸せなの？
- Why 孤独な空を見上げるの？
- Why 笑って見せてよ
- 言葉にするのが下手な
- あなたの性格わかるから
- 遠い昔に何があったの？
- 視線をそらす あなたの瞳に
- 一人で寂しい夜に抱きしめられる
- そんな温かさ知ってる？
- Why どうして形にこだわるの？
- Why 心を開いて
- 大きな荷物を背負った
- あなたを受け入れられる力
- あるわ 信じてみて...
- 自由な人は不器用で
- 自由な人は不安で
- Why 孤独な空を見上げるの？
- Why 笑って見せてよ
- 言葉にするのが下手な
- あなたの性格わかるから
- 信じてみて

- Hitomi no oku ga boyakete mienai
- Kokoro no soko no kimochi wa aru no?
- Sekai no subete o te ni shita toshitemo
- Sore ga anata no shiawasena no?
- Why kodokuna sora o miageru no?
- Why waratte misete yo
- Kotoba ni suru no ga hetana
- Anata no seikaku wakaru kara
- Tōi mukashi ni nani ga atta no?
- Shisen o sorasu anata no hitomi ni
- Hitori de samishī yoru ni dakishimerareru
- Son'na atatakasa shitteru?
- Why dōshite katachi ni kodawaru no?
- Why kokoro o hiraite
- Ōkina nimotsu o seotta
- Anata o ukeirerareru chikara
- Aru wa shinjitemite...
- Jiyūna hito wa bukiyō de
- Jiyūna hito wa fuan de
- Why kodokuna sora o miageru no?
- Why waratte misete yo
- Kotoba ni suru no ga hetana
- Anata no seikaku wakaru kara

- Do you have any feelings at the bottom of your heart
- That I can't see because the back of your eyes are blurred?
- Even if you had everything in the world,
- Is that what makes you happy?
- Why do you look up at the lonely sky?
- Why do you smile and show it?
- It's because I know your personality
- That you're not good at putting it into words
- What happened in the distant past?
- In your eyes that turn away,
- Do you know that kind of warmth that can hold you
- Close on a lonely night alone?
- Why and how are you worrying about form?
- Why open your heart?
- I have the power to be able
- To accept you with the great burdens on
- Your back. Try to believe...
- A free person is awkward, and...
- A free person is insecure...
- Why do you look up at the lonely sky?
- Why do you smile and show it?
- It's because I know your personality
- That you're not good at putting it into words
- Try to believe
