Kogarashi Sentiment (木枯らしセンティメント "Wintry Wind Sentiment") is the sixth (fourth in TV broadcast) opening theme song for Hitagi End in Second Season. It is performed by Shin-ichiro Miki and Chiwa Saitō. It focuses on Hitagi Senjougahara and plays in episodes 23, 24 and 25 (or 20, 21 and 22 in the DVDs which skip the recaps).
A solo version of the song entitled "fast love" was performed by Chiwa Saitō and was included in the single release of "Kogarashi Sentiment".
Background[]
The song is an in-character duet between Hitagi Senjougahara and Deishuu Kaiki.
In Monogatari Series Second Season, the song is accompanied by a video depicting the two in a summer landscape, with Hitagi wearing a white sundress while Deishuu drives a red convertible, followed by the dominant theme of crabs and snakes, symbolizing Hitagi and Nadeko Sengoku respectively. One feature of the credits used for the song is its depictions of Hitagi and Deishuu, as well as some scenes, in stylized art reminiscent of anime series produced during the 1980s, which features bold lines and the liberal use of cel-shading.

理由さえも 忘れてた 涙で
凍りついた 思い出は 綺麗で
あの季節と 同じ 木枯らしが
二人の時間を 今 巻き戻す
勘違い 一時の 気の迷い
ありふれた 感傷ごっこ (センティメンタリズム)
永遠に
見つからない 刹那
もう一度
もう二度と
云えない 言葉は
幼いまま
優しいまま
悴んだ記憶
もう一度
もう二度と
云わない 答も
哀しいまま
可愛いまま
ぬくもりだけ
置き忘れて
夜明け前の 一瞬の静寂
耳の中を 記憶が支配する
その背中に あの瞬間(とき) つぶやいた
届くことのなかった恋文(ラブレター) / 聴こえないふりをした 恋文(ラブレター)
すれ違い 振り向くこともなく
選んだ物語の続きは
今日という
あなたじゃない 未来
もう一度
もう二度と
云えない 言葉は
幼いまま
優しいまま
悴んだ記憶
もう一度
もう二度と
云わない 答も
哀しいまま
可愛いまま
ぬくもりだけ 置き忘れて
もう一度
もう二度と
云えない 言葉は
幼いまま
優しいまま
悴んだ記憶
もう一度
もう二度と
云わない 答も
哀しいまま
可愛いまま
ぬくもりだけ 置き忘れて
もう一度
もう二度と
云えない 言葉は
幼いまま
優しいまま
悴んだ記憶
もう一度
もう二度と
云わない 答も
哀しいまま
可愛いまま
ぬくもりだけ 置き忘れて
