RE: Anime Tracks Thursdays #31: Stars And Wishes

You are viewing a single comment's thread:
My pick for the "Stars and Wishes" theme this time is The Blessing (Shukufuku) by YOASOBI.
This song is perfect as an encouragement song for yourself who is full of hope. The lyrics about reaching for the stars and determining your own future are really strong.

Oh this song is from Gundam! I've been listening to this song lately even though I haven't watched the anime. Nice song choice! I also think this is perfect for the theme.
Thank you
As a huge fan of both YOASOBI and the Gundam franchise in general, this song was like a dream collaboration for me. I'm so glad you think it fits the theme perfectly.
Since you already love the song, you should definitely give The Witch from Mercury a watch when you have time. It's a fantastic Gundam series, and it makes the lyrics hit even harder.
The lyrics of the song convey a message of confidence and strong belief in the future, which is very inspiring. The song you shared was great, thank you for sharing this song.
Thank you! That's exactly right, the message about believing in the future is what makes this song so special. I'm happy to share a song we both enjoy.
Ahhhhh so this one is from this anime? I've been encountering this song lately, but I never thought it was an anime song. I really like songs from Yoasobi... and there's also that certain song from them that made me think of stars and hope, however it isn't an anime song. But still I like it and I often listen to it ^v^
Btw, here it is ... it's really a nice song—prolly my second favorite song from Yoasobi next to Kaibutsu.
Yes, that's right! This song is the opening for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. It's a surprise for many, but the lyrics fit the anime's theme perfectly. Oh, a fellow YOASOBI fan! "Kaibutsu" is a masterpiece, no wonder it's a favorite. To be honest, I love all of their songs hahaha.
Haha trueeee! Their songs are all nice, but some were so memorable that I sometimes can't get them out of my head ;) The voice of their singer was just full of emotions, plus all of their songs are just so catchy to the point that even those non-Yoasobi fans make dance covers on them, not knowing that behind those boppy tunes were heartbreaking lyrics—that Yoru ni Kakeru especially!
Hahaha, I totally agree! You've completely captured yoasobi magic formula. The music is super catchy and makes you want to dance, but when you read the lyrics... they're deep and often tragic. And Yoru ni Kakeru is the most perfect example! So many people don't realize how dark that song is, right? Because the melody is just so good. That's what makes them geniuses.
True, true...yes, most of the people I knew who danced to its tune aren't familiar with the story behind the song. Well, I can't blame them for doing so because that song was definitely so catchy and even lively, but it's kinda unsettling seeing them dance merrily while knowing how grim and sad the message of the song is—and for that, Yoasobi are geniuses indeed haha!
