To the End of the Wilderness or Into the Wilderness (Japanese:荒野の果てへ Hepburn: Kouya no Hate e)[1] is the main theme of the original Wild Arms game, and of the franchise as a whole. Originally composed by Michiko Naruke, it has been reused countless times throughout the series, inserted throughout many tracks. A piano rendition of the song was recorded for the Greatest Hits album Music the Best -feeling wind-, and later a hard rock version of the song was recorded for the next Greatest Hits album Music the Best -rocking heart-.
