Clannad OST ~ The Place Where Wishes Come True II 

That sunflower field and train scene.... I lost my shit when Ushio said "It was the first thing from Daddy"

-tomoya proposed to nagisa -tomoya and ushio moment -tomoya remember nagisa at the train -tomoya forgive his father sob sob..

Im willing to bet that Clannad voice actors cried for real during the recordings.

Its weird, everytime I listen to a clannad ost and look down at the comments I get reminded of all the scenes and the screen gets all blury real quick

"Sanae-san told me the only places I can cry are in the bathroom and in Daddy's arms." - Ushio Okazaki

"Is it okay to not hold this back anymore?"

that train scene. that goddamn train scene. where tomoya, who for the first time in what feels like forever has regained some happiness in life, starts telling his daughter about her mother. and then the emotional flashbacks overcome him and he can't help but to cry vigorously and say out her name with that desperate smile and his face frozen in sadness and regret because the realization has hit him once again. and the flashbacks of the moments he shared with nagisa up to the point of her passing. that in combination with the music hitting it's climax and exploding simultaneously with tomoya bursting out in tears. it doesn't matter how often i watch this scene or how much i think i am prepared for it. it always hits me. this whole atmosphere, that clannad has crafted in over 30 episodes leading up to what i would describe as one of the most emotional moments, not only in this series, but in anime overall. the regret, pain, and mostly love, that he still feels for nagisa after all these years passing and him trying to forget what he held so dearly. i have not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that everyone, who has been watching and feeling this series up to this moment, trying to keep up composure just like tomoya tried to, finally broke down during this moment. it's just excellent in every sense of the word.

It's funny when people say that anime is only for enterteinment and can't make you learn things for the real life. Honestly, i have learnt A LOT watching anime series. I'm so glad that i found anime, it's like my salvation for real life, and this one is a great example that makes you think about a lot of things. You can watch any anime series like Naruto, SAO, etc etc etc... But Clannad is just the best in it's genre, a truly masterpiece.

"The best tears are those which you don't know are already flowing out." The scene where Tomoya was telling Ushio about Nagisa and he suddenly teared up remembering about her, along with the flashback was the most intense feels moment that I have ever seen in any anime. The entire anime really built up to that moment very spectacularly. Thank God for Clannad and Jun Maeda. One of the best IMO

The scene that hit me harder than the field of flowers, or even the train ride home... was when he told his father goodbye, and wondered if he truly enjoyed his life. "He lost his dearest person at the happiest time in his life, and he's been alone with me ever since."

I wonder if whoever composed this song was crying while creating it

Why can't I cry? I want to cry! I want to rewatch Clannad with someone special in the future. Hopefully my wish can become true.

As a child I was never fond of anime. It was in my eighteenth year that I started watching anime on the internet, just to improve my Japanese language skills. Earlier, I had heard of Clannad, its reputation as a "tear-jerker". Back then, I failed to understand how an animated series can bring one to tears. It's just a cartoon for crying out loud, I would say. But then in my eighteenth year, I watched the series. And its sequel. Now I can cross my heart and say, my vocabulary can never suffice to describe how I felt while watching it. It was just the waves of inexplicable pain crashing into me, and the hot tears running down my face. God knows my opinion of anime changed that day. P.S. I am sorry...I should not have been ranting here. Please forgive me.

Clannad After Story episode 18 is one of the greatest episodes in anime!

Only a REAL man cries when watching Clannad

Kyoto Animation gave me the invaluable gift of Clannad, and to hear about what happened deeply saddens me. May everyone involved heal fully soon.

When I listen to this song I imagine myself holding hands with my future daughter or son and my wife in the other. Clannad has taught me that in life, the most beautiful thing on this earth is to able to have family and friends. Because of this heartwarming and eye opening story I truly believe that when my child is born, I am going to cry uncontrollably because memories of this anime will fill my mind. And they will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Right now, I am going through school and the only thing that keeps me working hard is the thought that one day I am going to have to take care of the two people I hold most dear, wherever they are. Thank you forever and ever writer of Clannad and Musical composer Jun Maeda. You have saved my life with this amazing story.

Did you find it? No. We can always get you another one. It's the only one. What do you mean? There were more at the store. It's the only one, the first thing that papa gave me.. Is it okay not to hold it in anymore? Sanae-san told me I can only cry in the bathroom or in Papa's arms, but I lost something important today, so I'm sad.

Mommy was... she was... O_O (Memories of her come flooding back) *NAGISA!!!*

Clannad is like we all made our mistakes , we're all not perfect and so is life

when tomoya started crying i shit my heart out

Rest in peace 33 KyoAni employees who died because of an arsonist.. #PrayForKyoAni

It's one thing to make you cry through sadness, but it's nothing short of amazing to make you cry through overwhelming happiness. That, I feel, is the real strength of Clannad. The ability to make us realize the power of something so simple and precious in each of us that never truly goes away. To me, that's what love truly is. That's what family truly is. That's what Clannad truly is.

“Hey, Ushio Do you want to hear about Mommy? All right, then come here. Let's see... Mommy was a crybaby. Even when we first met. She wasn't sure of herself and was weak. She stood still at the foot of a hill to school. Guess what she said at the foot of the hill? She close her eyes and said, "Sweet bean bread." Saying something she wanted to eat out loud helped her gather her courage. Sanae-san was busy at that time and didn't have time to make Mommy's bento. Maybe she said she could try to make it but Momy said not to. That's what Mommy was like. Then... Ah... right... then... Mommy was... Nagisa... Nagisa... Nagisa... Why are you crying too? Sorry, I was just remembering Mommy...”

When Ushio says that the robot was the first toy he had ever given her, I think Tomoya realized then just how horrible of a father he had really been to her. For the last 5 years he had never once bought her a single toy, piece of candy, or anything. Not for Christmas or her birthday, or simply just because he wanted to do something nice. Hence why he cries and asks her if she wants him in her life and if its okay to stay. I think she always wanted to be close to Tomoya, and love her father, but he kept her at arm's length because the pain of losing Nagisa was nearly too much for him to bear. It was probably made even worse anytime he saw Ushio because he likely saw so much of Nagisa in her. But I'm glad he was finally able to realize that Ushio was the one who needed him now and that he couldn't live like he had been for the last five years any longer. He had done enough neglecting his responsibilities as a parent and father to Ushio; he wanted to be happy again, and in being with Ushio he had rediscovered his reason to keep living. Although we never hear him say it out loud, I believe Ushio was the reason why Tomoya managed to exist for another few years before rediscovering why he bothered to still breath..

When he's with Ushio trying to recall the memories of him with Nagisa and literally can't bring himself to do it....like bruh I can't even with that scene.

I start the music *1 second later* I stop the music I'm crying

It’s amazing to me that this version of the song only plays once in the entire series. It really shows just how impactful this moment is meant to be. And it really payed off, because I think this scene when accompanied by this song is one of the greatest scenes of all time, not just anime.

"Nagisa, I found it. I finally found it. Something only I can protect. The precious thing only I can protect. It was…right here." Oh, did you hear that? Sorry, that was my heart breaking into a million pieces

I don't think I've ever cried so hard to an anime more than this one. That scene with Ushio crying in her dads arms and when Tomoya is thinking back on Nagisa is the most touching moment in anything I've ever seen or felt in my life. Whoever wrote this beautiful note knows what true emotion is.

Me: Don't fucking cry Don't fucking cry. Don't fucking- *sobs uncontrollably*

Why am I crying when I can't even relate to Clannad in any way

Nothing will ever be the same, will it? #PrayforKyoAni

"Daddy?" "Whats wrong, Ushio?" "Where are we now? Are we on the train now? "Y-yeah, were on the train now" "It's dark, is it night?" "Yeah it's the middle of the night" "I see... daddy I love you" "Daddy loves you to, very much"

Coming here after the tragedy at Kyōto Animation. To those who create these wonderful masterpieces like this one, I hope you rest in peace or recover well if you survived

I like how this version of the song is only played for Tomoya's special moments.

10 years later, this shit still hits so hard for me.

When Tomoya started crying and said“Nagisa” I lost it

I remember watching this alone, it was really my favorite and made me cry alot. 😭 as time passed by I rewatched Clannad with my boyfriend who became my husband now. We had a daughter as our first child too and I used to play this while she was still in my womb. She's 5 months now and I still play this to her and it makes her fall asleep. 💕

Clannad truly does change a person's outlook on life. Before I watched it, I honestly thought the whole world was against me. Thoughts like that kept entering my mind when my family belittled me for everything I did. And the fact that I had no one to talk to about anything really hurt, and this anime felt very familiar. I watched nearly the whole first season in one night, and was crying at the dumbest parts; it was just too relatable. But I didn't really know there was an After-Story for about a week. In that week though, I did talk to the one person I considered my friend. It kind of hit me that family doesn't always have to be "blood-related" but instead people who you can truly open up to; and she was that type of person to me. When I did watch the second season, I saw he did finally forgive his father and understand just how much was sacrificed. That was absolutely beautiful to me. Such a simple scene kept me crying for probably thirty minutes. But if you ever considered watching this, please do. It'll change your life for sure. And to me, it seems the harder your life is, the sadder it is. I'm not a father yet, but this touched my heart so much, and I may watch it again when that time comes.

OMG The first second directly goosebumps! Clannad is just the saddest and beautifulst Anime ever!

I cry every time I hear this song!? So emotionally attached to clannad and the music due to watching it with my boyfriend (now husband). Reminds me of all the hard times we've gone through to keep our relationship going and that we'll stay together no matter what. Man I'm an emo thing haha

This may sound rude but I just have to say it.... This show... Clannad is more than just an anime. Its a masterpiece. An unparalleled masterpiece, And Jun maeda the creator deserves an award of the highest caliber for changing people's lives.. Yes this show changed my life completely. Edit: In hindsight, I worded this rudely, sorry if I offended anyone by it. And it has been over 3 years, and yes, it still is life changing.

0:55 the point where we all cried ;-;

Anpan. That is the word that has changed my life forever. Oh clannad, you have saved me from the inner demons I deal with daily. It's been 13 years since I first watched you and I still think about you every single day. You have made me into a better person, you have shown me what true love is, and you never gave up on making me cry. You have single handedly changed me and my father's relationship for the better. I don't take anything for granted, and I know that everything he has done, shitty horrible nasty things where all for me. Thank you clannad for saving me.

I'm just here to remind you that someone is still listening to this in 2020, clannad will forever be in our heart 💕

Been 12 years since this came out and i still listen to it now -

Clannad couldn't have had a better ending, completely break everybody's hearts and then completely turn it back around. This and dango dango make me want to weep like a baby when it hear it.

Even after 11 yrs no anime has made me cry . I thought I had grown up in past 11 yrs but nah , I guess it’s the only anime that made me cry . Still a masterpiece. No disrespect to other anime like Naruto one piece u lie in April n all but sorry if someone watched clannad 1st I doubt there can anything sadder than this anime. The sadness the pain which others can’t understand. Hope the one who’s reading this know you are not alone in this , we were all together in this roller coaster ride . Watched in 2011 n it’s 2023 . Still this anime is no 1 in heavy drama genre

after i watched clannad/clannad~after story~....I AM BECOME THE BIGGEST CRYBABY IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!!

its rare for a Visual Novel / Anime to really hit deep with its rich story and lovable characters... But Clannad really nailed it... from the over the top humor to the most gut wrenching feeling of sadness and despair, it hit every major mark and note making a name for itself and standing out as one of if not THE BEST Visual Novels / Anime series ever.

People who don't watch this anime's after story... doesnt understand the feels you get from it T_T

I know this is going to sound elitist and gatekeeper-y, but people who havent watched clannad are missing out on one of the best experiences in life.

Okay so...here's the thing. I don't know where else to put this, but the fourth English dub voice actor I was ever introduced to in anime was a man named David Matranga. You may know him more recently as the voice of Shoto Todoroki from MHA, but to me, he'll always be Tomoya Okazaki. Clannad was the second anime I ever watched, and I watched it front to back. When I say this anime made me cry, I don't mean shedding a tear or two. I mean I _bawled my eyes out, eyes stinging, screaming myself raw--I couldn't even see the screen._ That was largely because of this music (which I can't get through without smiling and crying in the same go), but it was also because of Matranga's *_masterful_* performance during the field scene and the train ride back. Say what you want about anime dubbers, but this man made Clannad a life-changing experience for me. Seriously, just go look up "Clannad After Story English Dub Field Scene." I could truly feel the grief and happiness of a father just waking up from a dark depression. He'll probably never see this, but thank you, man. Thank you so much.

I can't hear clannad music without feels. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen the series. Clannad changes lives.

No matter how many times I listened to Clannad's soundtracks, I never got bored of them, especially this one :') And I don't think I will ever get bored of them either 👍🏻 In fact, I believe this show to be a huge part of my life since a long time.

"Sanae-san told me the places that I can cry...are in the bathroom and in Papa's arms." That was it for me. Endless tears. Can you imagine the struggles Ushiro went through not having her father and having to cry alone in the bathroom? Just thinking about it, over 7 years after the fact of watching it, makes my heart ache. And then even more so knowing real kids experience the same. The places where wishes come true II, one of my most favorite musical pieces but sometimes it's hard to listen to because every time I cry. Same with Nagisa's theme. Sometimes I cry is a good thing and feels good.

"Is it over now?" ...... "I see" "I managed to do it without even knowing" "That's great" "That's great..."

lol you know what, i’ll come back to this comment in 10 years for a life update. will be 26 by then. i hope along the way, more and more people will still be discovering clannad 😊

It was the first thing that Daddy gave me..

these comments are almost as touching as the nostalgia from the sweet waves of the song. The experiences of strangers across the world and our mutual understanding adornment and appreciation for Clannad is inspiring. Clannad touches on our condition like few things can in this world. I am so happy to be part of a vast amount of ppl who have watched this show and gained hope, change, direction anything in their life. That is just how transcendent Clannad is. My first experience with forever be a core memory and moment of my life and influential in more ways than I can count. To the amazing creators and workers on this show, I can't think any better accomplishment to touch as many ppls hearts as this show did and flip the scale of so many ppls outlooks on life. I wish everyone could experience this masterpiece. This moment of reflection on our humanity and our struggles and advancements all due to Clannad is something truly special. I will never be able to do it justice in just mere words. This show touched something so deep and inexplicable within me. I can take refuge in my struggles just by knowing this show exists and what its done for thousands upon thousands of people.

The scene were tomoya finally forgives his father broke me and the flower field scene

When I was young, I hated my parents. I think they don't support me, they don't understand me, they don't know how to raise me right. But, as I am getting older and kinda knows how the world works, I don't know if I have forgive them, but at least now I understand how hard the real world is. I keep having this feeling to give up on my life, even though I don't have a responsibilities of raising a child. It's a wonder they keep on living with a responsibility of raising me.

This song is one of the songs from Clannad that can make you cry in the first 20 seconds ;-;

*sits down on a chair on the balcony* *stares off at the ocean* *grabs coffee* *sips* *single tear drops from face* *sets down coffee* *stands up out of chair* *grasps balcony railing* *looks harder out in the ocean* *walks inside* *curls into ball of sadness*

The train scene with tomoya and ushio was so heartbreaking.

"Daddy will buy you another toy." "But it was Daddy who bought me that toy and it made it so special, and I lost it... I can't help hold back the tears even thugh Sanae san said there were only 2 places to cry... the bathroom... and in Daddy's arms." She walks over to Tomoya and the embrace. *TIME TO START CRYING BIG FAT TEARS*

I only cried three times during this series, when Ushio cries in her daddy's arms, When The boy's dorm keeper (idk her name) and her cat get reunited, and when Tomoya tells his dad that he has done everything, and has done everything. But... but when I hear the songs over again, all of them, the memories come flooding back, and that's when I cry. I feel just like the characters in this anime, and you can feel what they feel. I just... just... its just.... FEELS!!!!

0:53 That moment when Ushio cried out loud in his father's arms... I felt that. The feels kicked in pretty damn hard on that one. Then when I watched it for like the fourth time I managed to tear up. I'll be honest m8 I rarely cry on anime and even then I only kinda forced myself to let it out but still, it really has the feels. Clannad has a pretty good story. Season 1 has this "high school life" atmosphere. Tomoya making friends with people, knowing what they're out and about. After Story gives you a taste of "family life", getting a job, and being a father. It's really sad when Nagisa died giving birth to Ushio. You'd think they would become a happy family but no, things took a turn for the worst, and now Tomoya's going to have to raise his daughter without the person he loves.

If you cry hearing this, it means you are living it, remembering the saddest episode of 18 episodes

After watching this anime I went to all my brothers and sister and hugged them each for 5 secs. Then hugged my parents for 10 secs. While holding my tears back they asked what was wrong I replied, "Nothing, I just wanted to hug you" I didn't tell them the reason but I just wanted to hold and cherish them while they are still here with me. I love them very much.

Like I've been searching for years to find another visual novel that could give me the same feeling this one did. This was probably a once in a lifetime experience .. key gets me everytime

2020 ... still getting goosbumps and tears in my eyes when i hear this song ... Thx KyoAni for all the great shows you gave us ... the people who where lost in the arsonist attack last year will never be forgotten...

We are here yet again, we will always be here.

Really late to the party but I just binge watched all of this amazing series in the past week and a half. I did not stop crying like a bitch from about episode 17 until the end, and the first time this version of this track played with Tomoya and Ushio finally becoming a family, I had to pause the scene because the subs weren't legible. Even though everything (thank God, I don't know what I would have done with myself otherwise) worked out, I still can't hear this without getting choked up and thinking about that scene, and the one right after where Tomoya finally tells Ushio about Nagisa. Happy birthday, Okazaki Nagisa!

damn, this makes me feel sorry for the amount of people that gave up half way through Clannad (i almost did myself cos i got bored but believed it would get better lol) how fortunate for me! although i was depressed for two weeks afterwards

lately i've had this on repeat, i feel i need to rewatch clannad soon. this is probably my favourite track from the ost

Remember there’s two parts of Clannad. Clannad Clannad: After Story Including the OVA with it being 2 episodes that don’t include nagisa with Tomoya as a love partner. If it made you cry or not Clannad showed how reality can be in the spectrum of both good and bad. •Watching the two people you care so much in the world die. Or •Living life peaceful with the family you created. Both points still show sadness and understanding that the character have to endure and how they go by life with or without someone. That being said Clannad:AS really provided a lot of understanding moments people can relate to at any age, from a son not acknowledging his father until he knows his past to forgive him. A husband who loses his wife during birth and neglects his daughter for 5 years until they meet up again and bond back together. And many more hardships anyone can face, it’s a work of art honestly for how it was created.

this is when Tamoya finally picks himself up after losing Nagisa and starts taking care of Ushio this is when he tells her about her mother and what she was like. its also the part when Ushio loses the first thing her father ever gave her i cried the moment Ushio and Tamoya cried together. its a really emotional scene

When this theme song comes in...oh u better bet that kid crying in the middle of a flower field within his daddy's arms and on the train talking about her beloved passed mother...

im a 30year old single male and yes i cried alot in these series. especially with ushio and when tomoya and his father already made up

0:53 had me crying :(

Dapet pelajaran yang sangat berharga dari anime ini. Pelajaran hidup yang berharga. Sekian banyaknya anime yg gua tonton, ini yang bisa buat gua nangis. Sudah lama anime ini ada, tapi gua baru nonton anime ini dari season 1 sampe after story gua tonton. Dan 4 hari yang lalu, baru selesai gua tonton sampai tamat. Dari sini gua belajar. Apa itu arti hidup? Apa itu arti cinta? Apa itu arti saling menghargai? Saling mencintai? Saling mengasihi? Saling memberi? Saling tolong menolong? Serta ikhlas. Gua belom pernah nonton sampe excited begini dari sekian anime yg ada. Ini anime terbaik yg pernah gua tonton selama ini.

This anime was my teenage years, and my favorite anime by far. It reminds me of so many things... Nostalgia hurts

Walked down the aisle to this song for my wedding.

Emotions are something that all humans have and reveal in all sorts of ways. This show touched me in ways that I can never explain and I know that others are out there as well who feel the same love and admiration that I do toward clannad and clannad after story❤️BIG DANGO FAMILY😭😭😭❤️

After first this wonderful masterpiece since it was first aired, comparing to when I watched it just a few days ago. Honestly it’s a great work of art.. the right portion of comedy, drama, life lessons and sad moments is beautiful. Each character was well developed throughout the series...

Simplicity is truly beautiful

No one will ever know what this music means to me.

A real man is not ashamed for having cried with this Anime

Out of all the emocional anime i've watched, this particular song always gets me everytime. Clannad was an amazing masterpiece ..

I told myself I would never do this again, and yet here I am once more, listening to this and sobbing like a baby. I will forever love this anime, it holds such a special place in my heart, but also brings me great pain just thinking about it.😭💔❤

Alright! Who left this damn door open and let all these damn ninjas in?! They're standing around me in a circle chopping onions!! Ushio!! Tomoya!! Damn it!! NAGISAAAAAAAA!!

なぁ、汐 Hey, Ushio. ママの話、聞きたいか？ Do you want to hear about Mommy? 「うん」 [Yup.] よし、じゃあこっちこい All right. Then come here. そうだな.. Let's see... ママはな、いつだって泣いてるようなやつだった Mommy was a crybaby. 最初に会ったときもさ、自信がなくて弱くて Even the first time we met. She wasn't sure of herself and was weak. 学校の坂の下で突っ立ってたなぁ She stood still at the footof the hill to school. でな、その坂の下でなんて言ったと思う？ Guess what she said at the foot of the hill? 目つむって「あんぱん！」だって She closed her eyes and said, "Sweet bean bread." それがママの癖だったんだ That was Mommy's habit. 食べたいものを声に出して、それで勇気を振るい立たせる Saying something she wanted to eat out loud to gather her courage. 早苗さんはその頃仕事がすごく忙しくて弁当を作ってやる時間がなかったらしい Sanae-san was really busy at the time and didn't have the time to make Mommy's bento. 無理すればなんとかなったかもしれないけど、ママの方が遠慮したそうだ。 Maybe she could have if she'd tried, but Mommy said not to. そういう人だったんだよ､ママは。 That's what Mommy was like. それで… Then... ははっ…あっ…えっと…それで… Ah... Then... それでな… And then... ママは…っ… Mommy was... 渚… Nagisa... 渚っ…… Nagisa... 渚っ……！ Nagisa... 「パパぁ…」 [Daddy...] っは、なんだ、お前まで Why are you crying, too. わるかったな、ちょっとママのこと思い出したんだ。 Sorry. I was remembering Mommy. よし、じゃあ話の続きだ All right, let's keep going. 渚、見つけたよ。 Nagisa. I found it. やっと見つけたんだ I finally found it. 俺にしか守れないもの Something only I can protect. 俺にしか守れないかけがえのないもの The precious thing only I can protect. それは... It was... ここにあった。 ...right here. To be honest, Nagisa smile at the end makes this scene even more hurt than it is.

everytime i watch clannad its an emotional rollercoaster ngl

I just wanna cry here

Even after over a decade, this music still makes me feel something. It’s comforting, somehow…

_Take my hand and come with me to the place where wishes comes true_ -Nagisa

one of the best songs ever composed

Last comment was 4 years ago I originally posted watching this show, I rewatched it today with my now Wife. Prior to my old comment she was my girlfriend for the time being. I had her watch this show and she was brought to both laughter, shock, tears, and empathy for the characters. If it's one thing, I would love to hope my mind gets erased to rewatch this as if it was my first time.
