Asu no Yoichi's ED theme song is called Life and Proud by Aki Misato. You might remember Aki Misato from the Strawberry Panic! OP, the Mai-Hime ED or more recently the Blassreiter ED!
Tracklist:
1. Life and proud 2. Nami no Kaidan 3. Life and proud (off vocal) 4. Nami no Kaidan (off vocal)
5.5/10 Life and Proud(what the hell does that even mean??) is a cute ballad. It's nothing extraordinary, but it's good enough... Aki has a cute voice, and the melody of the song is ok. However, it's the kind of song that I get quickly tired of after a few listens...
I'm not much into yuri themed (girl x girl love) animes (I prefer yaoi instead :P) but by accident, I have seen Strawberry Panic and I liked it. Nagisa and Shizuma made me. Ah, shoujo-ai!
I especially like the first opening song and it gave me goosebumps.
Shoujo Meiro De Tsukamaete. You can appreciate this song without even seeing the anime since Misato Aki's done a good interpretation of it. You can relate more better after you have watched the whole thing but I know there are a lot of people who doesn't approve of this because of blah, blah, blah!
Okay, Ryvi I'm cheesy! XD
The song has an amazing feel to it. It's like yearning for something or someone to reach or a strong kind of emotion waiting to pour out, though in this case, towards a girl!
Or would you rather have the lyrics instead? Lyrics (Romaji):
Yureru HAATO ga furiko no you ni Migi de tokimeku hidari de sadness Amaku torokete ima setsunaku Mitsume aimashou
Otome junjou ki tsubomi da nante Sonna KOTOBA ja ari fureteru Datte bimyou na modokashisa wo dareka wakatte!
Maze adokenai KIMOCHI demo otona no koi ni Yes yoku niteru TOKO mo aru kono atsusa wa
Akogare yori akogare ijou no Yume wo idaiteru Dakara shoujo ja irarenai hodo ai wo yobu Watashi dake ja watashi dake ja nai Minna hajiraitsutsu tomerarenai Naze aitaku naru no?
Lyrics (English):
My swaying heart is like a pendulum Which throbs on the right and has sadness on the left It's sweetly enchanting, yet painful Lets gaze at each other
A maiden's pure heart is like a flower bud Such sayings are common But anyone knows this delicate impatience
Maze, it's an innocent feeling, yet Yes, it somehow resembles an adult's love, this passion
I embrace this more than dreams of yearning More than yearning itself I'm no longer just a maiden, I'm calling out my love It's not only, it's not only me Everyone feels this shyness, it won't stop Why do I desperately want to meet you?
