Zettai Kibō Birthday

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

The song is composed by Tomokazu Yamada, arranged by Takuya Watanabe and performed by Megumi Ogata as Nagito Komaeda.

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.

While the other person in the song has not been confirmed, it's possible they are Izuru Kamukura, the Ultimate Hope and an absolute being, and the only one Nagito was shown to be clearly attracted to in the anime.

According to Ogata, Absolute Hope Birthday is how Nagito feels outside and Remaining Cherry Blossoms -zanka- is how he feels inside.
