When it comes to anime songs, unlike other artists’ tracks, they play the role of “complementing the work’s image.” Listening to the song brings the work to mind—and vice versa.

This synergy is likely one of the reasons why anime songs are so beloved.

Chiisana Te no Hira was originally the ending theme of the game CLANNAD, but it was also used in the anime.

It’s an indispensable song that elevates the story of the protagonist who has lost his dearest loved one and his daughter, who remains as a memento of that love.

It’s a ballad that conveys both sorrow and strength.

This is a song that Lia herself wrote in response to the Great East Japan Earthquake, with the victims in her thoughts.

For the recording, she performed it in a single take, simultaneously filmed as a duet with piano.

It was released as a double A-side single, and the included track “Song of Life” was produced as the image song for STA, a project dedicated to rescuing endangered wild animals.

A song that serves as the final ending theme for the anime CLANNAD.

It sings about the Illusionary World, a realm far removed from reality, where neither past nor future exists.

The lyrics intertwine the flow of life with the cycle of the seasons: just as the seasons turn, people grow, die, and are reborn as new life.

Even in the face of sorrow, you can feel the message that new hope will always sprout.

It’s a track that gently wraps your heart in warmth.
