This is the song of a father who knows he is going to die, saying goodbye to his beloved daughter, and asking her to, despite everything, keep going. I don't think there can be anything more beautiful than this.
Rest in peace Kawashima-san. This is a beautiful thing to leave behind for your daughter who, from what can be seen in this video, was raised with so much love and support by her loving mother and father and this video is without question a celebration of that love for one's child. And as heartbreaking as it will be for her she can, at the very least, carry those fond memories she shared with her father with her throughout the rest of her life and she will need only look at this video to realise how dearly she was loved by her amazing father. Thanks for the amazing music BBS!
Beautiful song. This song represents the love for a child only a parent who truly loves can understand. You would stay alive for eternity if possible to make sure they are taken care of.
Literally just started watching Kiznaiver and i loved the OP song which brought me here, now i've just read that the band are splitting up because their vocalist/guitarist is suffering partial paralysis from a fourth brain tumor relapse. It's sad to hear someone going through that, but if this song is anything to go by then he's helped create some great music. I wish him and his family all the best.
The shot at 3:57 always makes me emotional... when you imagine that it's Kawashima-san flying away, saying goodbye to his daughter, wishing her the best. Beautiful song... will greatly miss you!
The top down shots at 4:38 also struck me.... especially when the series of shots ends with the rabbit. it looks as though he’s looking down at his daughter as the rabbit and will continue to do so forever
This video really looks like he's trying to pass a message to his daughter (which is the kid featured in this video). It is almost like he's saying that he'll always watch over her. It could be just my imagination but damn that makes you wonder.
When watch i dont know the vocalist condition, i can feel the happy girl but i feel her alone in this mv and after know the truth now i understand why i feel her lonely RIP vocalist T-T
@@Blast4slayer *sniff* You're not wrong, there! Happy, but alone, but most definitive loved. I got all that from the song and video. I didn't know the story behind the song when I first heard it, but it pulled me all kinds of directions emotionally. I have a medical condition that makes me cry super easily at anything slightly emotional (that one phone commercial where the granddaughter finally gets to call her grandparents...I sobbed, can't control it like normal people) so I thought I must be crying because of that, but later I found out the story about the singer and then found the lyrics. I know why I was crying now, this is sad and loving and happy all at the same time! So good! 😿😍😸🤪
I’m still sad that I won’t hear new stuff from boom boom satellites. Got me through a lot since Appleseed. All their records are solid. RIP to the singer. A great legacy left behind by a legendary talent.
In 2016 after watching the anime I immediately opened UA-cam to hear this masterpiece. The tunes, the tension building, the plot, the little girl playing. It was all beautifully made up. His voice saying "flyyyy out" was the thing that was touching my ears like an ASMR. Making me to be that kid playing. But... I wasn't unaware of his health at the time. I was repeating this song uncountable times. I'm so sad because I thought he was happily living with his family but the reality was other 😢 Today this was a random search and now I ended crying. Rest In Peace Kawashima-san. Thank you. Thanks Nakano-san too. For your music.
The way this music video ended... From a playful, energetic little baby girl to a pregnant mother at the cliff of a beautiful beach with tetrapods... With such a sensational song... It was so beautiful.
I just find out about this song today.. it hits me hard when i read the comments and makes me want to be a better father for my son 😭😭.. always teared up when i listen to this song.. what a gem..
Lyrics: Lay your hands on me while I'm bleeding dry Break on though blue skies,I'll take you higher Caught up in circles All dreams and bright lights Wait I'm here always,brighter than sunshine I fly Fly out Fly out to your heart Fly out Fly out Lay your hands on me Stay close by my side Drive me so crazy Moonlight and star shine Faded into the setting sun I'll see you again I'll carry on Feeling like I'm floating leaves in the fleeting sky you can sing that song Let it go move on Let's go way out Spaced out Spaced out Lay your hands on me stay close to my eyes Drive me so crazy wake up in your arms
The first 90 seconds brings back a strong memory. My family was on vacation in the Galapagos islands, and we were currently in Tortuga Bay, a beautiful secluded white beach. The water was so calm and clear, the sand was the softest I had ever felt under my bare feet, and this incredible urge came over me to run. Every step felt like velvet and my mind went away to leave only my senses. I started laughing. I couldn't stop. For maybe one or two minutes it was pure magic, running on this beach, my mom trailing behind me. I hope to someday feel that euphoria again.
This became much more meaningful and not just being an anime op it's a message to her daughter, seeing this video is making me sad and I can't even imagine what her family feels like listening to this, I hope her daughter grows strong and this song would be a reminder to his love for them 🤍
Back in 2022, I was on a BBS listening spree after I remembered one of their songs from the movie Starship Troopers Invasion. Coming across this one was especially hard because of the meaning it holds. It's one of the very few songs that gets me emotional while sounding amazing. Rest easy Kawashima and thank you Nakano ❤
Watching this brought me to tears. I hope you're happy where ever your spirit may be Kawashima-san and I hope your wife Risa and your two daughters are doing well as well as your bandmate Nakano-san. I've been a fan of BBS for 13 years and I never grow tired of their music.
Recently finished kiznaiver and got emotional 😭 and my god....this opening is so good. I don't know this song exist untill watched kiznaiver. Man i was missing one of the best thing in life. Now it's become my favourite song... it's something else that i can't explain ❤
🇪🇸: Recuerdo tener 24 años en 2007 que fue el año en que descubrí DIVE for you y su disco ON. Fue una época complicada pero buena en términos generales. Recuerdo vivir en Madrid (España) con mis abuelos en su casa y salir con mis amigos los fines de semana a discotecas para ligar con chicas y pasarlo bien. La música del álbum ON de BOOM BOOM SATELLITES siempre estaba conmigo. BEAT IT y GIRL eran mis canciones favoritas pero DIVE ON YOU era algo superior. Recuerdo aquella época con nostalgia porque las dudas sobre mi futuro me atenazaban y no sabía qué rumbo mi vida tomaría. DIVE ON YOU me ayudó a abstraerme de todas mis incertidumbres e inseguridades. Gracias BOOM BOOM SATALLITES especialmente a Kawahima san por tanto arte, creatividad, sonidos maravillosos y voz portentosa. Nunca os olvidaré. 🇬🇧: I remember being 24 years old in 2007, which was the year I discovered DIVE for you and their album ON. It was a complicated time but good in general terms. I remember living in Madrid (Spain) with my grandparents in their house and going out with my friends on weekends to clubs to pick up girls and have a good time. The music from the album ON by BOOM BOOM SATELLITES was always with me. BEAT IT and GIRL were my favorite songs but DIVE ON YOU was something superior. I remember that time with nostalgia because doubts about my future gripped me and I didn't know what direction my life would take. DIVE ON YOU helped me abstract myself from all my uncertainties and insecurities. Thank you BOOM BOOM SATALLITES especially to Kawahima san for so much art, creativity, wonderful sounds and wonderful voice. I will never forget you.
I am watching Kiznaiver right now BECAUSE of this beautiful, sensational and extremely touching music LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME!! for it's mesmerizing opening!! I love it Soooo much!!! It's sooo echoing, emotional and groovy with such a lovely beat!!!
It makes me so mad that I just found this band through Kiznaiver and never even got to grow into a fan. Rest in peace! Your music will still be played.
No, no i'm not crying. I'm not crying at the fact that this is the last song and michiyuki's daughter is this sweet little child in the mv. I'm not crying, this is just me profusely sweating from my eyes
People mostly here from Kiznaiver but older fans like me "From Ridge Racer". Been your fan for more than a decade. R.I.P. BBS for life Fogbound for life.
I revisited this song after i found it in my playlist from 5 years ago. I used to listen to this a lot when I was going through the most painful/depressing moments of my life and it helped me get through those times. The melody and lyrics would calm me down in those times. Only today did I find out that the singer of this song was also going through hard times. Rest in peace.
It begins with a metropolitan soundscape of voices and footsteps. These sounds that surround us all mix together in a spiral. They then fade out and we enter a light, like finding a clearing in a dense forest. Inside the mix is a single unifying echo from which “Lay your hands on me” rings out. While it's bleeding dry, it's calling for a blessing. The blessing is not just for itself, but for the other party as well. Under the blue sky that we all share, everyone has their dreams and energy. We must fly through the sky to assert our dreams but also reach out to those of others. Even after some people have gone, the things they have done and left behind will stay by our sides in spirit. There will undoubtedly come sadness with these feelings of passing. This most likely occurred in the family of the singer - Michiyuki Kawashima - who died with a brain tumour after this song’s release. The EP containing it was the final release of Boom Boom Satellites. Him and us were made possible thanks to remnants of the stars. Like the stars that shine in the sky and have possibly already gone, our loved ones will always watch over us as we wake up in their embrace. Their dreams, energy, love, and life are ever-encompassing and fill the world. Never forget these people. You can feel sadness, but lay your hands on their spirit and keep going. Fly into your essence; live life with the cosmos! You can sing the song they sang too and make them proud. Those are Kawashima’s final words. The music video shows one of Kawashima’s daughters having fun and one can imagine the camera being him watching over her. The teddy bear could also be him, being flown off on balloons in acceptance of his death and in celebration of his life. At the end of the video, we see someone who could be his daughter grown up and pregnant, looking out to the ocean and sky where her father now rests. The song itself gradually fades out, but in the last 10 or so seconds a few more pulses chime as the cycle of life continues in the next generation. We've only got one life to live. Make it count.
Such tender words to leave behind for his daughter in an amazing song. If my dad left something like this behind for me, I'd cherish it for the rest of my life. RIP Kawashima-san.
For me, this anime and this song will enter the hall of heroes and will ALWAYS have a very special place in my soul and in my heart for all eternity. Legends like this song and this anime NEVER die! I have to shed a few tears EVERY time I think about how great it can be in this world and mine and what GREAT people there are who have created and could create a song and anime like this. THANK YOU for EVERYTHING! Thank you for this anime and for this song! There are so many MASTERWORKS that deserve an eternal place in the Hall of Heroes!
The camera beginning the video close to his daughter and eventually drawing away into the distance and taking a top-down view of her is probably how he sees his daughter. The camera is probably the proximity of the father to his daughter, and how he continues to watch over her, regardless of how far they're separated from each other. I think the woman at the end is an actor playing a grown-up version of his daughter (they hid the face intentionally), and his well wishes for her to grow up healthy, find a family to make her own, and to be happy even though he is gone. Every father wants to watch their kid grow up and reach their own heights but time is short for him, so he did it through this video. Anyway bye i'm going to go cry again.
I only just found this and now see that one of the greatest voices I have heard in a song is lost to us and its all the way in 2019 :( this is sad and he shouldn't be forgotten...I mean seriously the world lost a TRUE gem of a voice....this song literally makes me think about life and the amazing moments in my life....I will cherish every moment of every day more than I ever did because of this song and this vocalist and hope everyone else does the same and has an amazing life.
After finding this song in another video and hearing about his passing from commentators and playing this over 5 times, i came to this link. Before i even clicked on this link i watched the little child in the preview, i broke down suddenly and started crying. I knew sadness was coming for her. Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago.
I watched Kiznaiver and became a fan of Boom Boom Satellites.. just to find out Michiyuki had died right after it came out. Makes me cry everytime I listen to it.
I just started watching Kiznaiver and searched the opening song like it is soooo beautiful and then I went down to the comments to see how many are here from Kiznaiver and then I got to know about Kawashima san and the BBS history. RIP Kawashima san, you left behind this beautiful piece of art. Always in remembrance.
Wonderful song to end the journey. after i listen this. i felt peaceful, calm and full of positive energy. This song makes you feel like everything is going to end, but at the same time giving hope to start a whole thing. Rest in peace Kawashima-san. Hope you found a better place on the next life. -sorry for my bad english-
when i heard this. Ive watched many anime.. im not that enthusastic about songs. But this song.. it stood out. it made me go. "WHAT IS THIS?!" So many seen and watched but this song.. it told me. "You should know who made this." His daughters recieved the worlds greatest gift a song filled with so much love they will never forget him.
It was around 2-3 months or so since I first heard this song and I found everything about it so... Odd, like there was something more behind it. In a way, it makes me happy to know the story after looking into it today. Can't remember the last time I cried this much, though. This is such a pure yet bittersweet song. Mgh~
This song (and Kiznaiver) has become synonymous with summer to me. It's literally the sound of traveling through a summer-warm, bustling metropolis! One day it will be used in a huge movie and it will become world famous.
Lyrics Lay your hands on me while I'm bleeding dry Break on through blue skies, I'll take you higher Caught up in circles All dreams and bright lights Wait I'm here always, brighter than sunshine I fly Fly out Fly out to your heart Fly out Fly out Lay your hands on me Stay close by my side Drive me so crazy Moonlight and star shine Faded into the setting sun I'll see you again I'll carry on Feeling like I'm floating leaves in the fleeting sky You can sing that song Let it go Move on Let's go way out Spaced out Spaced out Lay your hands on me stay close to my eyes Drive me so crazy Wake up in your arms Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Masayuki Nakano / Michiyuki Kawashima
Kawashima left a freakin' badass legacy behind him. I didn't listen to this song because of Kiznaiver. I listened to this song before I even watched the anime. I love it so much and I can think of the great human being who's voice spoke to me on a personal level.
Oh wow am I late to the party.. or funeral I should say. I would come back to one of their songs every so often (what goes around comes around) and just recently began revisiting their other music, I had no idea the vocalist had died. I'm glad he was able to share all of this before going
The really amazing part is that Kawashima's health issues started before BBS ever recorded an album. He was fighting brain tumors since the 1990s. So the bright side is that it wasn't a career cut short - it was an entire career in SPITE of a terminal condition. That's why after he died, Nakano said it wasn't a tragedy; it was an achievement and a happy ending.
Music really has the weirdest ability to resonate with people, and many songs can touch forgotten emotions and memories that make life special and wonderful. I’m sorry for whatever you’ve had to endure, and I’m extremely happy that you were able to feel something incredibly special with this song. Me too 🫶
Man, why do awesome people almost hero like, always go first?... just noticed. the amount of soul poured into this one is immense as if it will be his last...
I wonder how she would feel rewatching this when she grew up.. *fold hands* *close eyes* *"sekai no hewa de arimasu you ni"* I can never listen to this song the same anymore.. Not when Im feeling two different feelings all at the same time, those Kiznaiver's memories, and these feelings from the music video. Heck who needs Kizuna System anyway " ..Let it go, Move on.. " My heart, I can't :")
I came from kiznaiver while crying and it seems there is bad news here as well. But that doesn't change the fact that this song and the anime, both are masterpieces.
Rest in peace man. You will be greatly missed.
vocalist
FirstName LastName it was a brain tumor.
He Will be missed Dearly
omg I came here because of kiznaiver
ah..thats why it sounds familiar XD i come here just because of youtube recommendation...
This is the song of a father who knows he is going to die, saying goodbye to his beloved daughter, and asking her to, despite everything, keep going.
I don't think there can be anything more beautiful than this.
Kinda a companion piece to Shelter actually.
Rest in peace Kawashima-san. This is a beautiful thing to leave behind for your daughter who, from what can be seen in this video, was raised with so much love and support by her loving mother and father and this video is without question a celebration of that love for one's child.

Yeah it just makes this video even more tragic but beautiful
Ii
Ah
Beautiful song. This song represents the love for a child only a parent who truly loves can understand. You would stay alive for eternity if possible to make sure they are taken care of.
after listening to this song, this song wasnt meant for us but for his daughter.
Literally just started watching Kiznaiver and i loved the OP song which brought me here, now i've just read that the band are splitting up because their vocalist/guitarist is suffering partial paralysis from a fourth brain tumor relapse. It's sad to hear someone going through that, but if this song is anything to go by then he's helped create some great music. I wish him and his family all the best.
same
The vocalist died T_T.
Knowing that the girl on the video is his daughter makes it even worse...
II Noxus II Oh gosh, that's just sad, very sad. Sometimes you just have to ask the world.. why?
Azureal oh my gosh are u serious?!?!? T______T
@@cristiantimandi it’s heart wrenching
Good bye Kawashima Michiyuki :´( i never forget your voice and your music.
The shot at 3:57 always makes me emotional... when you imagine that it's Kawashima-san flying away, saying goodbye to his daughter, wishing her the best. Beautiful song... will greatly miss you!
The top down shots at 4:38 also struck me.... especially when the series of shots ends with the rabbit. it looks as though he’s looking down at his daughter as the rabbit and will continue to do so forever
You just made me cry
I got goosebumbs
I'll admit, I shed a tear
Why do I always find great music after the artist has passed
Crying in the 🅱️omments

Hey i'm crying
I’m over here crying
Love to you
yep, sadge
This video really looks like he's trying to pass a message to his daughter (which is the kid featured in this video). It is almost like he's saying that he'll always watch over her. It could be just my imagination but damn that makes you wonder.
That’s sad that u said that as he’s dead now rip
The lyrics make it as plain as day that he is
When watch i dont know the vocalist condition, i can feel the happy girl but i feel her alone in this mv and after know the truth now i understand why i feel her lonely RIP vocalist T-T

it was it, he confirmed that this entire last single (the three songs) was made as letter for her daughter
I have three children, two young daughters. This song kills me every time. I don't cry often, not at all but, this song.......
It's understandable. It's really... a good thing.
Rest in Peace Michiyuki Kawashima. Even 4 years later, we still miss you. Hope all is well with your family
Breaks my heart that she'll never have her father with her as she grows but damn she will have his spirit in his music!
Years have passed, and your music still rings in my ears. Rest in peace, Kawashima-san. You are missed greatly.
This video makes his passing away so much more sad, but in a beautiful way. RIP Michiyuki
I’m still sad that I won’t hear new stuff from boom boom satellites. Got me through a lot since Appleseed. All their records are solid. RIP to the singer. A great legacy left behind by a legendary talent.
the producer for the boom boom Satellites is a new band now called the Spellbound.
RIP Michiyuki your music touched our hearts....even here in Africa

Rest in peace. You shined like a hundred suns.
ExESGO hey he didn't die.. pray for his good health.

It was so beautiful.

Lyrics:
Lay your hands on me while I'm bleeding dry
Break on though blue skies,I'll take you
higher
Caught up in circles
All dreams and bright lights
Wait I'm here always,brighter than sunshine
I fly
Fly out
Fly out to your heart
Fly out
Fly out
Lay your hands on me
Stay close by my side
Drive me so crazy Moonlight and star shine
Faded into the setting sun
I'll see you again I'll carry on
Feeling like I'm floating leaves in the fleeting
sky
you can sing that song
Let it go
move on
Let's go way out
Spaced out
Spaced out
Lay your hands on me stay close to my eyes
Drive me so crazy wake up in your arms
Thanks
Beautiful
“fly out to new colors”
Just...tears.
6 minutes of this song was like 2 minutes I can't stop listening, you will be mist.
The first 90 seconds brings back a strong memory.
My family was on vacation in the Galapagos islands, and we were currently in Tortuga Bay, a beautiful secluded white beach. The water was so calm and clear, the sand was the softest I had ever felt under my bare feet, and this incredible urge came over me to run. Every step felt like velvet and my mind went away to leave only my senses. I started laughing. I couldn't stop.

Your songs are amazing and beautiful!! Such a shame I found you this late :( thanks to Kiznaiver
Same for me, i found BBS so late D:
yea this song is so unique on its form "ABAB" where verse repeating is still impressively great
RIP
RIP :(
WONDERFUL WORDS!!
This song suddenly crossed my mind last night so here I am. September 2024 and it still hits me.
This song still makes me cry wtf

Boom Boom Satellites were the first Japanese band I ever got into. RIP Kawashima
This song in a way reminds me of the techno band Underworld.
i just found the band and i am shattered to find out the lead vocalist has passed away. RIP beautiful music, came from Kiznaiver
I hope someday this song gets the recognition it deserves
Rest in peace.

This...so true
I just can’t handle it. I watch this over and over again in tears. Rest in peace brother.
Even if he dies, his music will live forever
When I come to the comments of this song it is always sad, but also make me happy to see so many people are grateful and appreciate their music
Congratulations for Space Showers Music Award 2017 the most influential Artists!

I am watching Kiznaiver right now BECAUSE of this beautiful, sensational and extremely touching music LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME!! for it's mesmerizing opening!!
I love it Soooo much!!! It's sooo echoing, emotional and groovy with such a lovely beat!!!
This song radiates so much emotion to me, even though I know it from the anime, hell the anime gave me so many feels, too. It's beautiful.
It makes me so mad that I just found this band through Kiznaiver and never even got to grow into a fan.
Rest in peace!

damn, i'm going to cry. this song is ultra good. rest in peace man
Such tender words to leave behind for his daughter in an amazing song. If my dad left something like this behind for me, I'd cherish it for the rest of my life. RIP Kawashima-san.
I really love this song. Rest in peace Kawashima, thank you for leaving us this gem.♡
May i ask who is Kawashima?😊😊
@@khailafernando2346 the vocalist + guitarist n the father of the daughter in the clip. .and he already passed away. .
Incluso 7 años después, se sigue recordando esta canción, trae muchas emociones, descansa en paz Kawashima
For me, this anime and this song will enter the hall of heroes and will ALWAYS have a very special place in my soul and in my heart for all eternity. Legends like this song and this anime NEVER die! I have to shed a few tears EVERY time I think about how great it can be in this world and mine and what GREAT people there are who have created and could create a song and anime like this. THANK YOU for EVERYTHING! Thank you for this anime and for this song!
There are so many MASTERWORKS that deserve an eternal place in the Hall of Heroes!
Im sure when his daughter is older she will watch this countless times thinking of him. so sad. ill see you again when i join you.
I was so sad and crying then I found this and it helped me so much RIP thanks for saving me 💙
I'm here once again to cry big manly tears while listening to this absolute banger of a song. 😭
The camera beginning the video close to his daughter and eventually drawing away into the distance and taking a top-down view of her is probably how he sees his daughter. The camera is probably the proximity of the father to his daughter, and how he continues to watch over her, regardless of how far they're separated from each other. I think the woman at the end is an actor playing a grown-up version of his daughter (they hid the face intentionally), and his well wishes for her to grow up healthy, find a family to make her own, and to be happy even though he is gone. Every father wants to watch their kid grow up and reach their own heights but time is short for him, so he did it through this video. Anyway bye i'm going to go cry again.
This hits me right in the kokoro man it's so sad knowing that the little girl in the video is his daughter and she will grow up without her father :'(
With another baby on the way as well. I hope the family is doing fine :(
This is a beautiful song.
It's very sad to have lost such a talented person. It's a shame I found you so late.
I only just found this and now see that one of the greatest voices I have heard in a song is lost to us and its all the way in 2019 :( this is sad and he shouldn't be forgotten...I mean seriously the world lost a TRUE gem of a voice....this song literally makes me think about life and the amazing moments in my life....I will cherish every moment of every day more than I ever did because of this song and this vocalist and hope everyone else does the same and has an amazing life.
After finding this song in another video and hearing about his passing from commentators and playing this over 5 times, i came to this link. Before i even clicked on this link i watched the little child in the preview, i broke down suddenly and started crying. I knew sadness was coming for her.
Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago.
This song feels so nostalgic, even though I just heard it a few months ago, even then it felt really nostalgic.
This song will remain forever and ever in his daughter and fans as well. RIP…
Rest In Peace man I loved this band "bursts out into tears"
I watched Kiznaiver and became a fan of Boom Boom Satellites.. just to find out Michiyuki had died right after it came out. Makes me cry everytime I listen to it.
This must be listened by all world!
I just started watching Kiznaiver and searched the opening song like it is soooo beautiful and then I went down to the comments to see how many are here from Kiznaiver and then I got to know about Kawashima san and the BBS history. RIP Kawashima san, you left behind this beautiful piece of art. Always in remembrance.
This MV was featured on animax India around 2015-16 when the channel wasn't taken over by Sony yay
@@spandexspleen ohkayyy i never knew that
imo this was the only band that had consistent bangers ...literally all album tracks were amazing
Wonderful song to end the journey. after i listen this. i felt peaceful, calm and full of positive energy.
This song makes you feel like everything is going to end, but at the same time giving hope to start a whole thing.
Rest in peace Kawashima-san.
Hope you found a better place on the next life.
-sorry for my bad english-
Que descanses en paz ❤
Miss this song soo much😭😭😭😭
Timeless song.
Rest in Peace.
when i heard this. Ive watched many anime.. im not that enthusastic about songs. But this song.. it stood out. it made me go. "WHAT IS THIS?!" So many seen and watched but this song.. it told me. "You should know who made this." His daughters recieved the worlds greatest gift a song filled with so much love they will never forget him.
Godspeed you beautiful human. You will never be forgotten!
It was around 2-3 months or so since I first heard this song and I found everything about it so... Odd, like there was something more behind it.
In a way, it makes me happy to know the story after looking into it today. Can't remember the last time I cried this much, though.
This is such a pure yet bittersweet song. Mgh~
too bad they don't have this version on spotify :( I'd listen to that all day!
Keep coming back to this after a few whiskeys for a wee cry. Great tune,
This song (and Kiznaiver) has become synonymous with summer to me. It's literally the sound of traveling through a summer-warm, bustling metropolis!
One day it will be used in a huge movie and it will become world famous.
4 years since released but this song still hits me hard. Love, warmth and sadness.
Lyrics
Lay your hands on me while I'm bleeding dry
Break on through blue skies, I'll take you higher
Caught up in circles
All dreams and bright lights
Wait I'm here always, brighter than sunshine
I fly
Fly out
Fly out to your heart
Fly out
Fly out
Lay your hands on me
Stay close by my side
Drive me so crazy
Moonlight and star shine
Faded into the setting sun
I'll see you again I'll carry on
Feeling like I'm floating leaves in the fleeting sky
You can sing that song
Let it go
Move on
Let's go way out
Spaced out
Spaced out
Lay your hands on me stay close to my eyes
Drive me so crazy
Wake up in your arms

Man I miss this song very much.
this song remind me the whole universe, all the subject that include the space, like stars, planets, galaxies etc...
I feel you. It makes me think about life in general. It’s a scary but curious feeling...
Kawashima left a freakin' badass legacy behind him. I didn't listen to this song because of Kiznaiver. I listened to this song before I even watched the anime. I love it so much and I can think of the great human being who's voice spoke to me on a personal level.
they say good art comes from suffering, and it becomes timeless once the artist dies
What music, What wonderful music

Oh wow am I late to the party.. or funeral I should say. I would come back to one of their songs every so often (what goes around comes around) and just recently began revisiting their other music, I had no idea the vocalist had died. I'm glad he was able to share all of this before going
The really amazing part is that Kawashima's health issues started before BBS ever recorded an album. He was fighting brain tumors since the 1990s. So the bright side is that it wasn't a career cut short - it was an entire career in SPITE of a terminal condition. That's why after he died, Nakano said it wasn't a tragedy; it was an achievement and a happy ending.
Reminds me of days when I actually gave a shit about being here, alive. Makes me feel something again. Gave me a good cry.
Music really has the weirdest ability to resonate with people, and many songs can touch forgotten emotions and memories that make life special and wonderful. I’m sorry for whatever you’ve had to endure, and I’m extremely happy that you were able to feel something incredibly special with this song. Me too 🫶
Man, why do awesome people almost hero like, always go first?... just noticed. the amount of soul poured into this one is immense as if it will be his last...
I wonder how she would feel rewatching this when she grew up.. *fold hands* *close eyes* *"sekai no hewa de arimasu you ni"*
I can never listen to this song the same anymore.. Not when Im feeling two different feelings all at the same time, those Kiznaiver's memories, and these feelings from the music video.
Heck who needs Kizuna System anyway
" ..Let it go,
Move on.. "
My heart, I can't :")
This music video is so beautiful if you look at it like a parent who has passed, but left the world for your daughter to explore and live on.
I came from kiznaiver while crying and it seems there is bad news here as well. But that doesn't change the fact that this song and the anime, both are masterpieces.
I cry every time I hear this song, I don't dare kiznaiver to make me feel like that or the song.
This got no business being this good
Conclusion of a 20-year hit career? …Sure they do, haha.
love this song so much, such an amazing song
Rest in peace legend
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for the entire video. This is to fucking beautiful for words.
Cada que eschio esta melodia siemore derramo lagrimas, es muy triste lo que sucedio 😭😭
This song is so emotional☔
How can u dislike this, please people respect the art of a good human being
