nihongo|"Returner ~Yami no Shuuen~"|RETURNER～闇の終焉～ is a single released by Gackt on June 20, 2007. It contains two live recordings of previously published songs and the limited edition comes with the music video for the title track on DVD. The inspiration for the image used in this single ties into the NHK drama "Fūrinkazan", in which Gackt plays the warlord Uesugi Kenshin. "Returner" is the artist's first single to reach the number one spot on the Japanese Oricon charts.The background behind this song is a woman awaiting for the return of her lover from the battlefield. Gackt sings the lyrics from the woman's perspective while playing the role of the husband in the video.
