[Anison] Hiroko Moriguchi – Ai Senshi (Theme song of the theatrical anime Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow; original by Daisuke Inoue)

The theme song of the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam II.

It’s a song that captures the kanashimi of “ai” (sorrow) from various perspectives: the sorrow that makes the body tremble, the sorrow of life, and sorrow itself.

It honors the warriors who lost their lives in the battles depicted in the anime, and it also sings of the grief of those who await their return.

Do we sometimes have to throw away our own lives to protect what is precious? Despite its profound theme, it is characterized by a refreshing, uplifting delivery.

A withered-leaf-colored smile

Hiroko Moriguchi, who also shines on variety shows, is equally captivating as a singer.

Her fourth single, released in November 1987, is a classic that perfectly suits the season when the autumn breeze seeps into the heart.

It delicately portrays a wavering maiden’s heart: wanting to smile in front of the one she loves, yet quietly harboring loneliness and fragility.

The earnest wish to be embraced with warmth is so touching it tightens the chest.

The song is also known for being used as the image song for Kirin Lemon Witty.

Listen to it on an autumn evening lost in thought, and Moriguchi’s clear, translucent voice will gently nestle close to your heart—a sentimental piece indeed.
