This song is about Anly's producer's mother, who was 92 years old at the time this song was made. She was 15 years old during WWII and was forced to volunteer as a nurse for the Japanese military. When surrounded by the enemies, she tried to kill herself with hand a grenade, but her aunt told her to get rid of the grenade, and they were captured by the U.S. soldiers was saved. When Anly was having dinner with her one night during Covid 19, 92 old grandma said, " Anly, if you give up, it's over." She felt like a bolt of lightning hit her. Time was terrible, and it seemed like nothing was going well for her, but 92-year-old grandma's words gave her the courage to move forward. So Anly made this episode into a song, "Alive."
I’m here waiting for the new album “26ml” and I’m just reminiscing on how good the “Quarter” album was when it came out last year around this same time. Unfortunately my grandmas has passed away during the year after the “Quarter” album was released and it’s thanks to this song I visited her more than usual and spent good quality time with her thanks to this song. Thanks for the music Anly.
Her voice is fairytale-like and it seeps into my soul like sweet sunshine. Anly turns the world into melodies. Every time I listen to this song, I find the moment that makes me the happiest.

Well, let's talk lots about it, Why Not? This year so ignited by Anly starting with Voltage until Homesick to Komorebe, and Now she just dropped an another greatness here "Alive. I used to read the descrition box below Anly's videos and i always surprised that she's not only singing, but roling more in her songs making, which always makes me feel like Anly is the master of All. she really have strong passion with music, and so talented like a fire, therfore i used to call her the Smal Gaint, which means she looks so small person but so big creativity she has it. Certainly about Alive music video... I liked that Anly being the main actress into it, and she really fits within it so well, as how she looks so cute and light style looking, more like western but still so Anly. the song Also makes me feel like a western english song, but it's amaizing that a japanese artis who sung it originally, as english isn't my main language, i still learning it, so i went to asking a native english speaker from my friends zone to see how the song is sounds from a native point of veiw, and also to clearfy if her pronounciation is that clear since commonly japanese singers are struggling with english pronunciation which effective by their japanese accent, so understanable but that's why it's being so great when a japanese artist getting over and making good pronunce, Just as Anly easily doing it. i confirmed on that by a native speaker. Here let me please tell that Anly's song (Distance) is my favorite english song from non english speaker ever. In case of this music video of Alive, i liked to see Anly riding a horse, and all the deffrent styles she showed with are great made actually, where she on pick up vehicle and horse and where she surrounded with people from her island, made so great scene around the modest Anly. And kinda the realationship between Anly and Baloons is confirmed 🎈, now whenever i see a Baloon i will recall Anly san as well. Also as taking a look to the describtion box below, i liked how everybody worked on it is credited as well, even the babies that shown on it, i thank them all one by one, they all being part of this masterpiece video. By the end of the day, i had to to say how the song is so essensial in term of meanings. I shared the lyrics with a friend and he told me later how he listened to the song many times with the fact that he is not a fan for Anly a whole, but Only he told how the song made him shed tears of the lyrics meanings and the warm melody ofcourse. and i really understand him, the lyrics really great sounding. it's all started as a grandma telling life lessons, followed with a vow of never getting back, i really needed during now, i've been through raugh cases, and Now Anly is the Only one who's healing me. I think i talked lots, i just didn't wan't to hold back anything, cuase really Anly gave me a lot by now. 🇯🇵THANKYOU ANLY FROM SUDAN🇸🇩
