Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii

This anime is so darn good. I hesitated at first because Livi (15) is younger than Nike (17) and their height is comparatively short but it doesn't take long for me to forget the age difference and height. I re-watched it for 3 times so far. It is a simple anime but it reminds me of the good old basic anime that makes me love anime and manga at first place. I think this so far one of the best romance theme anime out there. Saikou desu!!

Even the soundtrack are worth listening over and over again.

but I personally love this song and its lyrics; Promise by Rena Maeda

PROMISE (English)

Maeda Rena

Night, I think about you

I’ve thrown away everything

But, I miss you, miss you

I’m searching for your warmth

during sleepless nights

No matter how far

we’ve been apart

Even we’re always looking

on the same sky

Actually,

I wanna be by your side

But now, I’m barely falling apart

My heart aches

deeply swallowing my lament

I am not alone, right?

I wonder if you feel the same, too

Believe it

We’ll overcome our Destiny

In order to grasp our Future,

Because we’ve realized Present

Any nights wait us,

I’ll embrace our memories

Till the morning comes,

You’ll still smile, right?

I will promise you, a bond of tomorrow

You don’t need to deceive me

With such a timid voice

Even I pretend not hearing you

I’ll be by your side

But now, if I’m barely falling apart

Don’t let go my hand

Don’t avert your eyes

I want to step the same pace with you

Because we’re together now

I believe it

Your chosen Story

No matter what happen, from now on

I’ll become the power of smile for you

Anytime

Don’t forget out Memories

When morning came,

New experience will increase too

I will promise you, a bond of eternity

Believe it

We’ll overcome our Destiny

In order to grasp our Future,

Because we’ve realized Present

Any nights wait us,

I’ll embrace our memories

Till the morning comes,

You’ll still smile, right?

I will promise you, a bond of tomorrow
