Zettai Kibō Birthday

Zettai Kibō Birthday (絶対希望バースデー, Absolute Hope Birthday) is the ending theme for Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy - Side: Despair and a character song for Nagito Komaeda.

It was released on August 3rd, 2016 as an A-Side single of the same name along with Zansakura -zanka-. There is also an instrumental version.

The song seems to be about the birth of absolute hope and Nagito meeting someone "he was born to meet" in the middle of the night at school's campus, though it seems to be more about Nagito's feelings and thoughts than any actual real events. The situation is very sexual, which is made even more clear by the Japanese wording and has been pointed out by Ogata.

According to Ogata, Zettai Kibō Birthday is how Nagito feels outside and Zansakura -zanka- is how he feels on the inside.
