      Shikamaru has always been a fave of mine, but this story arc made him even more of a favourite. I cried when Asuma died and I cried when Shikamaru's father told him to let it out. Half of this arc was me crying honestly. I cried even more than with Gaara & Chiyo. It was agonising to watch him in so much pain for losing someone who was so close to him, someone who was as close as family to him. He was Asuma's treasured pupil who had to see his teacher's death right in front of him. Rest in peace Asuma, your students are doing your name proudly.

    This song tells about something that is closest to us. Based on the lyrics, it can be seen that this song conveys that the closer you are to your loved ones, the more difficult it is to see them.
    In this world there are many things that can happen. You can find people you can really trust, but there are also people who are hypocrites.

      Because he already has the foundation of speaking english, duh. Many japanese artists's english foundation is from what they learned in school. Japanese schools teach that kind of english. The ones with english that actually sound like english are usually either returnee or went on in-depth study for it. The example is Joe inoue, or Yoasobi's vocalist, or many other returnees who go for singing career and make their own lyrics.

    Just watched Episode 80 of Naruto Shippuden, and oh boy, how long I've anticipated this opening. Air guitar-ed, air bass guitar-ed, even drummed to the beat and sung my heart out! but yeah. Shikamaru Shipuden and RIP Asuma Sarutobi ...
