I was left speechless upon hearing this song. Partly may be the fact that it shooked Azunyan (our 2010 SaiMoe champ) to tears...and it is a song sang by the entire Houkago TT band. I digress. The song reminded me of the many moments in life as a student, the fun times and especially well, the bitter sweet taste of graduation.
Then again, a friend of mine revealed an interesting interpretation of hers via Skype, stating that it universally applies to friends who have walked into and out of our lives. Friends that are busy with their new founded routine and they stopped sharing the same cakes or bus rides or even a conversation. Makes sense.
In conclusion, this song is my personal favourite of the season. If I am to play it every day on Youtube at least once, I viewed it with much sentimental value. XD
I Touched An Angel!

Hey, for the pieces of my memories
If I save them as a new file
A “treasure” is exactly what it is
Yeah, I spent my time
To fill up the space in my heart
Every single day was a throbbing color
The uniform I’m used to and my indoor shoes-
The doodles on the whiteboard-
I think I have to leave them
At the entrance to tomorrow
But I was able to meet a wonderful angel!
Graduation isn’t the end
Because we’ll still be friends from now on
The photos of us together-
Our matching keychains-
Are shining forever
I’ll always thank you for your smile
Hey, the sakura treesS
eem to have grown a little, too
Even if it was at an invisible, slow speed
Surely that sky was watching
When I tripped again and again
And yet I was still able to walk to the end
In the halls after school
The wings of musical notes spilled out lightly
If only we could stay like thisUntil they pile up all soft and fluffy
But I touched a lovable angel!
I feel like saying “I’m back”
This place won’t change
My e-mailbox-
The calendar marked off with circles-
I thank the music
That gave me my encounter with a terrific dream
At the home station, on the riverbank
Even if we’re separated, let’s look up at the same sky
And sing in unison!
But I was able to meet a wonderful angel!
Graduation isn’t the end
Because we’ll still be friends from now on
If you say, “I love you lots”I’ll reply,
“I love you lots and lots”
I don’t have anything forgotten anymore
We’ll always be together for eternity
The end of yet another great anime, into my favourite list it goes.
Dedication to all the friends who had left a handprint on my tabula rasa,
Vonnie S.
Aww....I have been touched by an angel too, everywhere. Waaakakakaak!!@ and I bite the angel? and her ring taste like donuts.
ReplyDeleteErm, bugger, that sounds DAMN WRONG okay? What dya mean everywhere??? I hope you're talking about him. Otherwise, it soooooo doesn't make sense. T-T
ReplyDeletei was watching this episode the other day and because for some luck i was in company of boys, i was tearing up but i dare not cry to the song like Azusa did (ahh my tsundere times). of course, they were non-anime fanboys, so they dont really pay attention to the episode.
ReplyDeletewell, like they say,
if we were meant to be, then we don't have to be together now - we'll meet again in the future. =)
friends are like that too - we may not eat together, walk together, play together anymore; but we still look up at the same sky, knowing we are actually that close to each other.
