Putting Asagao to Kase-san aside, I know good music when it directly strikes the heart. Here is a perfect example of such music. And I can't believe this song is a few years old! Looks like I'm adding Hanako Oku to my radar.
Really love the voice n the song too!! Just too soulfull!! My eyes even dropped a tears during i hearing it (i dont even understand the means of the song lol) Well cant wait for the anime though!
English Translation found on another video Kimi no egao (Your smile) by Oku Hanako The light of spring, a wind-swept street: that was when I first met you The distant summer nights of frolicking around with a young child’s heart The autumn that cheated loneliness as it passed by The warm winter’s street that reassured me of your warmth At all times you have a sincere look in your eyes. Even if you fall you will stand up again I drew some strength from your profile that only gazes ahead Your smile and your voice created my future The time that began to move carved out slowly changing days I should be able to overcome difficulty at any time because I have a dream Now I have found something precious, something that I want to protect I don’t know the reason for your tears that day Beyond the upset I saw a path leading to a dream I’m not afraid of mistakes. If I take a step forwards then I can have more faith in myself People look towards the other side of sadness. This is what the sight of your back has told me By my side, by your side, I want to live in the present so much that I could cry A dream without end must lead to somebody’s future Don’t give up. Whenever I heard your voice I found something precious, something that I want to protect I am not alone. I am always by your side because I want to see your smile
