Information recording method, information recording apparatus, information recording program and recording medium storing information recording program

An information recording apparatus configured and arranged to record information on an information recording medium having a plurality of recording layers including at least a first layer and a second layer each having a data area for recording user data, the information recording medium being recordable according to an opposite track path method, the information recording apparatus comprising:

• recording means for recording lead-out data, when a recording completion position of said user data is within said first layer, in an area from a position of said second layer corresponding to the same radial position with said recording completion position to an inner side;
• and
• recording means for recording a middle area immediately after said recording completion position, when the recording completion position is within said first layer.
