 For "Innocence R", Kokia was brought in again and asked to create a different opening number, "New Day, New Life".For this song, Kokia drew from the opening sequence, where Luca wakes from dreaming of his past life and opens the window.Unlike "Follow the Nightingale", "New Day, New Life" was written entirely in standard Japanese, as she wanted to fully convey Luca's feelings in the song, along with those of Kongwai.
