[Masterpiece] Big Winter Anime Song Special!

TelepathYorushika

Non-credit OP of “Kaina of the Great Snow Sea” / Yorushika “Telepath”

Kaina of the Great Snow Sea is an anime with an impressively snowy setting.

Yorushika wrote its opening theme, Telepath.

It’s a ballad that calmly portrays a sense of loneliness.

The title refers to a person with telepathy, and the lyrics are sprinkled with expressions that evoke telepathic imagery.

If you listen with that in mind, the message may come through even more strongly.

Another highlight is the chorus, which surges from a quiet melody into a powerful climax, making it especially compelling.

TV Anime “Just Because!” Ending Sequence (Mio Natsume, Hazuki Morikawa, Ena Komiya / behind) [NBCUniversal Anime × Music 30th Anniversary Daily OP/ED Posting Project]

A gem of an anime song that depicts a clear, wintry scene and a quiet resolve amid the changing seasons.

It was released in November 2017 as the ending theme for the anime “Just Because!,” which portrays the youthful lives of high school students.

Sung by the three characters Mio Natsume, Hazuki Morikawa, and Ena Komiya, the song’s structure beautifully layers each of their feelings.

Its lyrical resonance, like falling snow, is perfect for a winter night when you want to reflect on your relationship with someone important.

An ideal companion for a Christmas Eve spent alone.

Snow, Silent, by the Window. Yuki Nagato (Minori Chihara)

This is an anime song released as the image song for Yuki Nagato, a character from the hugely popular TV anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

While expressing the character’s personality, it’s an up-tempo, cool track with a wintry feel, so even though it’s tinged with loneliness, you can’t help but get into it when you listen.
