Torch is actually quite a nice song after listening to the full version.

Toki Wo Kizamu Uta is undoubtedly the reason to buy this single though. Such a beautiful song, such heart rending lyrics. T_T

Kinny Riddle · 2008-11-14, 13:58

Beautiful. The lyrics of Toki wo Kizamu Uta more or less hinted at what is to come for those that understand. Who better than the game writer Maeda himself to pen the lyrics? (He also composed the original tune which the song is based on (Onaji Takami e) himself as well. )

Does anyone know if the piano version is the only full version of Toki o Kizamu Uta? Is there a full version that sounds more similar to the OP?

fuukostar · 2008-11-14, 16:00

Nevermind, it sounds closer the the OP when you listen to the mp3 rather than youtube. Sorry!

I completely fell in love with Toki wo Kizamu Uta the moment I first heard it in the anime OP and was waiting forever for it to finally come out! (Downloaded both, lol). Now I can't stop listening to them

Vegard Aune · 2008-11-14, 16:45

Okay, went and listened to the full opening on Youtube... Damn, I HAVE to get that single, even if I've been totally fine with downloading everything in the past. The song is just too damn excellent. And the lyrics... Just... Excuse me, I've gotta go cry now. Too damn beautiful, just like the soundtrack for the series. God, there are hardly even words to describe how fantastic the music in Clannad is. Possibly the greatest anime-soundtrack I've ever heard.

Bennyswan · 2008-11-14, 19:37

I LOVE the full version of the OP and the ED songs............

gahhhh ;__; it gives me a feel good feeling

Jeiku · 2008-11-14, 19:40

As much as I love "Toki wo Kizamu Uta," for some reason, I don't really think the full version is as well-arranged as it could have been. It feels like the TV size version was actually tacked onto it, or rather, it feels like two separate recordings were done before being spliced together.

To me, the TV size version felt much more powerful. I still like it, though.

OceanBlue · 2008-11-14, 21:06

Ah, I wish the karaoke version of Toki wo Kizamu Uta was an instrumental version instead of a karaoke version. Aside from that, chills are running down my spine. The full version of both of these songs are very nice.

kk2extreme · 2008-11-14, 23:16

if some1 could make the clannad op (instrumental) in little big planet, i would love to see that

TenkenXD · 2008-11-15, 01:57

Speaking of Toki wo Kizamu Uta, has anyone seen the FULL translated lyrics? I could just be a total dumbass here but they totally foreshadow the ending of AS.
It's one of my favorite songs now.

Previous page.

Both from Atashi.

Toki Wo Kizamu Uta is really beautiful. The lyrics are really perfect for the story. Here's a little translation of the song.

Gotta hand it to this guy. He managed to just play out Toki wo Kizamu Uta on the piano just by listening to the tune. Someone should help this awesome guy do some promotions by listing the video on YouTube as well.

Shinigami_Mello · 2008-11-15, 12:34

Wow, those lyrics match Clanand so well, the After Story more specifically.
So beautiful...

ryokoalways · 2008-11-15, 18:32

Only seen the OP, can't stop looping the song.

Don't quite have the same attachment to ED yet.

In any case, I think Toki wo Kizamu uta is easily the best OP of the season. I prefer this one to the OP of season one.

The only problem is that if you know Japanese the song may spoil the story (if you haven't found out already). I think most already know what's going to happen. But because of that, it's going to have that much greater of an impact on the viewers.

Looking forward to this (haven't started viewing yet).

I don't have a niconico account, but if that thumbnail is correct, that guy actually posted here about a page ago.

Can't wait for the middle of November. FULL VERSION!

Also, I don't know if this is allowed, but I made my own arrangement of the TV Size version of the OP. =)

You should try to credit the translation.

Agreed. Not only that, but I'd say it's at least equal to Tori no Uta from Air, which I'd say is one of the best openings ever. That's how great I think this song is. And excluding Tori no Uta, I'd say it puts every other opening/ending/insert song/image song/whatever from Key's visual novels to shame.
...Okay, maybe Chiisana Tenohira and Natsukage are better.

Kaioshin Sama · 2008-11-18, 00:22

Yeah I'm actually giving Toki wo Kizamu Uta (Full Version) a pass as well. It's nice to hear an opening for this type of show that I can actually not just tolerate listening too, but actually thoroughly enjoy. The Key/Visual Arts series of adaptations has had an excellent history of solid openings and endings. Especially Kanon's where even if I couldn't say I found the show earth shattering that I absolutely loved the ending theme in all of it's 90's goodness.

Here's a little translation of the song. Spoiler for Lyrics translation: I’m only looking at the spilling hourglass When I turn it upside-down, look, it starts up again I wonder if I’ll be able to someday enter The advancing time that only ticked away Midway on the slope that only you passed through Many warm spots of sunshine appeared Here by myself, I’m reminiscing About the tender warmth It’s only you, it’s only you Who I loved My eyes tear up in the wind And you become distant I’ll remember forever Even if just about everything changes It was just one, it was just one Ordinary thing But in the brilliance that I’ll show you, there’s only one thing that was fulfilled I’ll protect it forever and ever The chilly days continue, even though it’s already spring On a morning when I woke up earlier than the alarm clock You’re standing there Making breakfast for three It’s only you, it’s only you Who isn’t by my side Up until yesterday, you were right by my side, looking at me It’s only you, it’s only you Who I loved It’s a song that I sing Only with you, only with you It’s our, it’s our Time passed together I don’t want to Continue on my own I’ll remember forever Even if this town changes No matter how much sorrow I’m to encounter I’ll show you when I was truly strong C’mon, let’s go; we’ll start walking on the sloped road
