They are written by Ayu.

AnimeNewsNetwork translated the article for the most part.

Hamasaki acknowledged that she had not read the original manga before, but she took the opportunity to read the entire manga and the script and drew inspiration from them to write the lyrics. She added that she was completely immersed into the unique world view and read the entire 14-volume manga in one sitting. The film's general producer Kozo Morishita commented that he cannot help but feel the link to Siddhartha's hope for people's happiness in Hamasaki's lyrics, which pray for the happiness of loved ones.

This is really nice!
Even if I don't care so much by religious themes, the manga seems really good! I'll give it a try when I get some free time (unfortunately not so soon )
