In response to the song's existence, during a live concert, a Furusato version of "Who Will Know" was created. This was done by Yoko Takahashi for the Shin Godzilla vs. Evangelion Symphony in 2017, though the 24 bigslow by Shiro Sagisu is the 8th song of the 10 on Disc 1, the Furusato is the 9th song of the 10 on Disc 2.[4]

  • Who Will Know (Furusato) - The 2017 version sung by Yoko Takahashi.
