Song that Marks TimeLia

[High Quality] CLANNAD: AFTER STORY Opening 'A Song to Pass the Time' FULL with Lyrics
Song that Marks TimeLia

It’s the theme song of the 2008 anime CLANNAD AFTER STORY.

Written and composed by Jun Maeda and performed by the powerhouse duo with singer Lia, it was created by an unbeatable team.

The lyrics are so heartrending that they can bring you to tears just by reading them.

I recommend it even to those who aren’t CLANNAD fans.

Winter IllusionAcid Black Cherry

A winter ballad that sings of the heartbreak and poignancy of lost love and farewells.

Acid Black Cherry’s fourth single is memorable for yasu’s soaring high vocals and its nostalgic melody.

Released in January 2008, it captured many hearts, topping the Oricon daily chart, among other achievements.

The music video features AKIHIDE from BREAKERZ and others, and its dramatic storyline also drew attention.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to soothe the pain of losing someone dear during the cold winter season.
