I love anime because...

...there's some GOOD music you'll hear with many anime opening and ending theme songs.
------------------------------------------------

Like this song called "Kirei na kanjou" by Arai Akino. It was the ending theme song to one of my favorite anime series, Noir.



translated English lyrics found on Animelyrics.com

Like suddenly noticing the sound of birds for the first time
Upon awakening in the morning
I finally noticed how cold this cheek was
Upon being gently touched

I don't know anything yet
What the heart is seeking
I don't know

I was looking at nothing but the sky
Since sometime, like this
Sending my thoughts flying to right below those clouds

Like living the continuation of a dream
I am unreliable, but love me nonetheless

What colour are the tears in the fountain of the heart
What colour is sorrow...

The morning light now enveloped the solitude
The moment you opened your eyes and smiled

I was looking at nothing but the sky
From the window, at the far distance
Take me to right below those clouds

In both hands the overflowing
Pure emotions
I want to dedicate them to you

Gently be touching
Gently this cheek
Gently gently
----------------------------------

And another song called "Duvet" by BoA, which was the opening theme song of another favorite anime of mine called Serial Experiments: Lain.



lyrics found on Animelyrics.com

And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame then I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
and you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
-------------------------------------

There are many more songs, but these are the two that came to mind today.

You gotta love anime ^_^
