I was really hoping you’d mention Fujiwara Keiji-san’s death in April. He voiced Tamako’s dad in the anime. I will never forget the heartwarming love song (Koi no Uta) he sang for Tamako’s mom. RIP
Tamako Market is the anime equivalent of coming home after a long trip. Soothing, relaxing and calming. Watching it was like a hug from my best friend, or a letter from someone I haven't talked to in years telling me something awesome happened to them.
I just finished watching Tamako Market with my family and we've never been closer. We all loved this show and are gonna watch the movie tomorrow. Update for y'all: We watched the movie and I might have cried a bit too much. We bought some mochi after the movie which was nice.
Tamako Market has such a comfy atmosphere to it. I really love how most of KyoAni works have a soul so warm in them. It's like you said, we need more series like this in this world. Thanks for the great video, it means a lot to me
I’ve always struggled to explain the importance and appeal of this series to people who find it boring or call it moe nonsense. Thank you for putting words to that feeling✨
One bittersweet aspect of Tamako Market is the fact that neighborhood shotengai (shopping streets/alleys) are slowly dying out in Japan due to urbanization and competition from big box stores (See Sakura Quest, another great iyashikei series). On a positive note, HiDive just got Non Non Biyori Vacation movie to cheer you right back up.
Jeez. I’m not gonna lie, I’m 22 year old guy and had a few tears. It’s really hard to be optimistic these days, but hearing again about what Kyoto ani has done, makes me feel a little bit more hopeful
I want to do my best to be a person like Tamako - with her positive and caring attitude and power to touch the lives of those around her in really positive way. I want to be a person who can invite others to be themselves like that. It's probably impossible for someone like me to come anywhere close to that, but it's something worth striving towards. She's a beacon of pure light.
I wanted to cry but how naoko yamada describe this show, instead of crying i am filled with wholesomeness and humanity, kindness and so many emotional that prevents me to cry. Kyoani is always and will be in my heart.
I get teary, not only because of I remember Tamako Market and Tamako Love Story, but also when I realize some of the production footage maybe take place in Studio 1, and some staff maybe involved in Studio 1 tragedy. I felt Shiori, just like what Tamako Market touch her heart, Kyoto Animation also touched me with their optimistic depiction on animation. I will always support Kyoto Animation whenever I can.
This is easily one of Kyoto Animation's most overlooked show. I loved it so much the first time I watched it and I am so glad I found the DVD for it. 😁
I was just thinking about making a video about Tamako Market when I found this video and you just inspired me to make it. I hope more people watch Tamako Market.
Thank you for this beautiful commentary on Tamako Market. The show is so underrated! Shows like this depicting wholesome everyday life with along with good cinematography and animation are hard to come by these days. KyoAni is one of the few studios who can make such a good quality slice of life anime.
Tamako Market is my absolut favorite series next to K-On! I can’t imagine that any other series would ever touch me in the same way. The subtle way of working through topics like social anxiety or loss. I love it to pieces.
i wish there were more animes like this. tamako market just has this atmosphere and vibe that you cant find just anywhere, i wish there were more animes that didnt have any emotional tension, just stuff like this of their everyday lives, idk how else to explain it, its just so simple and i love it. i wish there were more shows like this, or maybe a season two.. :( not to mention the soundtrack, ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
The way You(Under The Scope) Represents the way an anime should be watched, its just too heartwarming and calm...Its the perspective that you show how to watch an anime like this....Looking forward to watch more of ur vids
Important lesson: "Being optimistic is not the same as being positive. Optimisim is the belief in better." My Depression: See, I was right! It's the other guy that came with me! My Existential Crisis: 'aight, imma head out.
I finished watching Tamako Market and Love Story so I understood the message clearly I love the warmth from the show itself It was so fun to watch No dark vibes Just pure optimism I can't express how much I love this show
As someone who grew up very similarly to Tamako, in a small town where everyone knows my family, I relate mostly to her. Whenever things don’t feel as good as I would want them to be, I remember all the times I grew to cherish my town‘s community so much and the hope that I will feel like this again some day makes me feel much better. Tamako Market made me treasure and appreciate what I have, even if I move away, even if things change, the memory and feeling of experiencing it will stay forever. That’s what makes Tamako Marker special to me.
Tamako Market is one of my favorite animes (which includes a lot of action and fantasy). It just feels homey, pure and light-hearted. I keep on rewatching it and tamako love story as well.
tamako market is my alltime comfort show. i relate to tamako so so much- i almost feel like an irl version of her as we share the same features and personality traits. its such a comforting anime and is so greatly underrated. this show has helped me through so much
I watched Tamako Market back when it was airing. I was really into slice of life and warm shows. When Tamako Love Story became available, the memories of the anime compelled me to, despite it not being very different to me beside other feel good shows. I was a fan Yamada Naoko before realizing, and now I want to rewatch like this cute and warm show once again.
There were two moments that broke my heart while watching this show...the first when Tamako recalls the last time the shopping arcade closed early, and the second when she quietly screams her anger about everyone wanting her to leave. It was so sad seeing someone who is always upbeat and positive breaking down like that, and even when she does she is still so considerate of others that she screams quietly so as to not wake others. That scene hit me hard as it felt like the real world of ours breaking through in to their perfect world. It's a brilliant shows and I'm glad you explained the origins of it as the tone was one thing I found a bit weird going in to it. It could easily have been a normal slice of life story without the Dera storyline and I didn't really understand why they included something like that which played a big part in the show but wasn't really necessary at all.
I don't know why but this particular video of yours gave me such a warm feeling inside and it allowed me to cry in a way I haven't been able to for many years. That type of crying that actually leaves you feeling a little better.
This people made me happier with their shows , suffering depression at the age of 19 i was Lost , i found them and they saved me. Now after that day i am suffering a way worse depression and anger , i am so ashamed of myself because i went back to that dark place, i am not smiling all day like i used to because that incident broke me from inside and i should change that . They inspired me to believe in happiness and i am disappoing them with my attitude. I must be better for them.
my mom had depression when i was around 12, she wouldn't sleep, wouldn't eat, she barely talked to me and after years of going to therapy/doctor she got better. now i'm 21 and she is way much better and with life in her eyes but sometimes, there are days when her sadness comeback and it's totally ok! with time i learned that depression is not going to go away the same way as it came, you are going to have good days and bad days and that doesn't mean you are not progressing. you are doing great and you are going to get better eventually so don't feel discouraged. i wish you all the best!
It's when we are struggling that we can benefit the most from a helping hand. Don't be too hard on yourself. I don't know if it'll help here, but what helps me come back is to focus outward & try to help others. It can give a great sense of accomplishment & you can take pride in being a part of your community. Another alternative is to revisit shows that bring you joy or nostalgia, like your favorite movie as a child. Your feelings are important too, sometimes they need a little nurturing.
Don't say that. You haven't disappointed anyone. These anime, and the people that created them, wanted to create things that would inspire, and bring joy to others, all the while driving home an important message they believed was important to convey. You were inspired by them. But you shouldn't let inspiration make you think like you owe it to them to get better. That's not what they would want. To quote Jack from another video: "Stop living to what's expected of you, live to yourself." You aren't a bad person for being in a dark place. Don't put yourself down, because I know you are capable of so much more than you know.
Just watched this show a couple weeks ago. One of the most heart warming and wholesome shows I’ve ever seen. A show that’ll make you smile no matter what :)
Kyoto animation and their various character designs from various artists are just so heart-warming. It's so hard to explain but as soon as I see any character from any film they make I just instantly feel warm and cozy. They are quite literally some of the best movies to watch in the winter for me, cozied up with a blanket and something to drink, absolutely the best :)
Amazing video man. Kyoto ani has been my favourite studio for years now, closing in on the 7th. They have made most of my favourite animes of all time and it's the way they communicate emotion and the details that make them special. The day the arson attack was announced was a sad and teary day. I hope for the best for the people at kyo ani, and that they never suffer something as tragic as the event ever again.
Just finished watching this series. It was actually the first anime series I've watched in full (I am 25) in my whole life. I thoroughly enjoyed it for all the reasons you lay out here, and I appreciate all the extra bits of info and interviews. Love that kind of stuff. I've subscribed, so maybe you can turn me into an anime fan. K-on! is next on my list.
tamako market has left such a big impression on me. i love the series so much, it's one of my favourites. kyoani really knows how to tell a story through its characters, and tamako market is the reflection of that skill. a story doesn't have to be deep or have dark themes to be engaging to its audience, using resonating characters is just as effective. i wish more and more people give this anime a view. it's adorable, charming, and fun.
I tell you this... You are not ready for the movie part of the series, Tamako Love Story. Although you may need to watch Tamako Market first before watching the movie for maximum wholesomeness.
My favourite thing about Tamako Market is how they managed to use this environment as the backdrop for a movie with a much more serious (I guess) direction. I’ve watch Tamako Love Story more than once and to be fair it wouldn’t have meant anything if Tamako Market wasn’t made.
I almost cried when you got to the end. The beautiful message of optimism, especially during this very difficult time in our lives, is so important to hear, and Tamako Market and KyoAni truly exemplify it. I haven't seen Tamako Market in years but it is still one of my favourite series to this day. I found it hard to express exactly why I love it so much but your video explains it so well. It might be time to finally rewatch it after all these years and bring some optimism back into my life.
Wow this video really made me realize why I seem to like so many KyoAni shows where it feels like nothing’s actually going on in terms of traditional plot. It’s because the studio is so good at depicting daily life and human interactions that make sense and bring their characters to life. I saw it in Tamako with shiori’s struggles to find her place in a tight knit group, in a silent voice with the psychology behind why Ueno bullied Shoko, in K on with Azusa struggling with the identifying her feelings when she realized her senpai were all going to graduate, and so many other moments in their shows. These shows don’t need any grand plots of deep philosophy to be great because they do these simple aspects of the human experience so well, and that’s why we all love them despite many calling them bland or boring
I decided to watch Tamako Market after I had watched this video and I'm so glad I did. I finished the last episode like 4 minutes ago and it was so uplifting, like everything was lighthearted and I feel like things like the quotes could be applied in real life since they're so true. There were two quotes that reminded me of another video of yours, the first one was "Mido-chan. I feel like I'm standing on the edge of space too." and the second was "I don't want to change. I want to change. We all hold in our hearts conflicting feelings, each back to back. And so we live our days. " Both of these reminded me a lot of your At The Entrance To The Universe video which I also loved.
Tamako market is one of my comfort shows, I rewatched it a couple times when I was feeling bad lol. I love that there is no antagonist, everything is nice and calm which is doing wonders for my anxiety😂
I don't think it can be understated how Reiko Yoshida's work on CLAMP adaptations like Angelic Layer and Kobato, the very community-focused Aria, being the original writer of Tokyo Mew Mew and, of course, K-On, made her uniquely suited for this story.
Tamako Market is lovely. Tamako Love Story is even more wonderful. My wife and I have been within a few blocks of Denmachiyanagi Shopping District -- but that was several years before we saw Tamako Market (only this year). This little corner of Kyoto gets plenty of anime attention -- also Eccentric Family, Tatami Gallery and Night Is Long, Walk on Girl. When we finally have a chance to return to Kyoto, I think we will need to return to the area around Denmachiyanagi. ;-)
When i feel the grips of day to day life clinging harder, making me feel as though I'm loosing my humanity and optimism. Simply watching her animes make me feel whole again. She has truly changed my life and if i had the opportunity to thank her in person I would take the opportunity without fail.
Love this! Just finished watching Tamako recently and it's such a bright spot. Thanks for making something that shows us just how much love went into it and echoing its optimistic and loving message.
I like tamako and I also like all of kyoani's work, thank you AND also this is the first kyoani's work I've ever seen and I like all the character design and especially tamako (ofc) becuz she has that Moe feel to it
I watched this anime last year. Didn't really understand why I loved it and kept watching it. It felt like so much and depth has been put into the production compared to other series similar to it. I barely knew about kyoaani until the tragedy happened. I read up on it and sure enough I could gather bits and pieces on why I love their works. The people who worked on them are not just doing their job for the sake of it but also enjoying it and learning from it. So far I think kyoani is the only studio that puts care to their staff and not just the art their creating.
I'm crying when I'm watching this. I am glad I didnt take Tamako Market for granted. It is such a good show, and a gem. I also salute those people who died in the Arson. may them RIP
Wow. I'm struggling to find the words to thank you, congratulate you, and share how meaningful this piece of work is for me at this time. I am truly thankful there are people like you that produce such valuable, thought provoking, and emotionally impactful content. Bravo, and thank you!
Still honestly one of my favourite quote "There are some things you can gain by letting some things go. Happiness isn't just what you have here and now"
By happy coincidence, this video appears on my UA-cam page just after I finished the 4th episode of TAMAKO MARKET (on HiDive). After last year's horror, I resolved to watch the entire Kyoto catalog that I hadn't seen yet.. TAMAKO MARKET is nearly last. (Still have AIR, BEYOND THE BOUNDARY, and some movies to get to.) Each series or film has just been a joy, even if I end up weeping at times, and TAMAKO MARKET has been a nice cuppa each evening for the last four days.
I just finished this series recently... I love K-on and I really miss this art style. The talking bird was a little jarring at first and they could have dropped the magical talking bird altogether and just kept the market interaction and the everyday life of the townsfolk. I do like Choi chan though she's such a cute character and yeah the talking bird is also charming too so he somehow work in the show for some stupid reason even though he doesn't have to be there... and now I have another pilgrimage spot to visit now at 3:27.
Man you really made me break down bruh. I love this show and everything I’ve watched from KyoAni, it just reminds me of childhood and makes me so happy. God damn bruh you really made me cry wtf.
I watched this when I was just getting into anime and really it still is one of those slice of life shows that just sucks you in and makes you feel at home no matter how much time has passed and no matter what point in life you are💞💞
What a wonderful rendition of "Ue o Muite Arukou" at the end! Really tied the video together and helped me feel, dare I say it, quite optimistic ^^ When things start looking down, let's look up while we walk.
Tamako Market is so underwatched.
Underrated*
All of the above, really
Pretty much most of KyoAni's works too
Do I need to watch "Tamako Market" or "Tamako Love Story"?
@@kandalpower Market first, Love Story is the sequel movie
I was really hoping you’d mention Fujiwara Keiji-san’s death in April. He voiced Tamako’s dad in the anime. I will never forget the heartwarming love song (Koi no Uta) he sang for Tamako’s mom. RIP
I adore that voice actor so so much, I did a cover of that song when he passed but I got too nervous and shy and didnt release it.
ua-cam.com/video/Q5JP0YwqVWs/v-deo.html
I agree - Fujiwara was, and is, my favourite seiyuu. What an amazing talent! And that song was a highlight of the series, I still listen to it.
Leorio :(
I know him from initial d
Tamako Market is the anime equivalent of coming home after a long trip. Soothing, relaxing and calming. Watching it was like a hug from my best friend, or a letter from someone I haven't talked to in years telling me something awesome happened to them.
Reminds me of a couple of Soviet songs. You know, the "Trololo" original song, and other ones
More people should talk about this show
More people should talk about the amazing character song album from this show ;;

The movie is a masterpiece
@@Lazer-bp9lf it is worth every second spent watching it. You won't regret it
Something about the line "Everyone loves Tamako, and she loves everyone," warms my heart. Tamako deserves everything.
Tamako Market has such a comfy atmosphere to it. I really love how most of KyoAni works have a soul so warm in them.
It's like you said, we need more series like this in this world.
Thanks for the great video, it means a lot to me
glad you enjoyed it ^^
@@mrniesguy3111 Thank you for the always great content

Oh my god it’s by Kyoani too. This is exactly all I need. Gonna watch ASAP
@@wew7154 it’s called 放課後 (houkago - after school) but the piano version, from the tamako market soundtrack
I’ve always struggled to explain the importance and appeal of this series to people who find it boring or call it moe nonsense. Thank you for putting words to that feeling✨
One bittersweet aspect of Tamako Market is the fact that neighborhood shotengai (shopping streets/alleys) are slowly dying out in Japan due to urbanization and competition from big box stores (See Sakura Quest, another great iyashikei series). On a positive note, HiDive just got Non Non Biyori Vacation movie to cheer you right back up.
Jeez. I’m not gonna lie, I’m 22 year old guy and had a few tears. It’s really hard to be optimistic these days, but hearing again about what Kyoto ani has done, makes me feel a little bit more hopeful
rewatching this video in 2024. Tamako market is the concentrated essence of everything i love about KyoAni.
I want to do my best to be a person like Tamako - with her positive and caring attitude and power to touch the lives of those around her in really positive way. I want to be a person who can invite others to be themselves like that.
It's probably impossible for someone like me to come anywhere close to that, but it's something worth striving towards. She's a beacon of pure light.
I wanted to cry but how naoko yamada describe this show, instead of crying i am filled with wholesomeness and humanity, kindness and so many emotional that prevents me to cry. Kyoani is always and will be in my heart.

My Depression: See, I was right! It's the other guy that came with me!

I finished watching Tamako Market and Love Story so I understood the message clearly
I love the warmth from the show itself
It was so fun to watch
No dark vibes
Just pure optimism
I can't express how much I love this show
As someone who grew up very similarly to Tamako, in a small town where everyone knows my family, I relate mostly to her. Whenever things don’t feel as good as I would want them to be, I remember all the times I grew to cherish my town‘s community so much and the hope that I will feel like this again some day makes me feel much better.

I love how it is VERY apparent throughout the show that the animators had an absolute blast making each and every frame
Tamako Market is one of my favorite animes (which includes a lot of action and fantasy). It just feels homey, pure and light-hearted. I keep on rewatching it and tamako love story as well.
I didn't notice the fact about Tamako's hair until you mentioned it
That was the main feature I noticed about her, I found it adorable and fitting for her
can you put the timeline? thanks in advance :D

The beautiful message of optimism, especially during this very difficult time in our lives, is so important to hear, and Tamako Market and KyoAni truly exemplify it. I haven't seen Tamako Market in years but it is still one of my favourite series to this day. I found it hard to express exactly why I love it so much but your video explains it so well. It might be time to finally rewatch it after all these years and bring some optimism back into my life.
Wow this video really made me realize why I seem to like so many KyoAni shows where it feels like nothing’s actually going on in terms of traditional plot. It’s because the studio is so good at depicting daily life and human interactions that make sense and bring their characters to life. I saw it in Tamako with shiori’s struggles to find her place in a tight knit group, in a silent voice with the psychology behind why Ueno bullied Shoko, in K on with Azusa struggling with the identifying her feelings when she realized her senpai were all going to graduate, and so many other moments in their shows. These shows don’t need any grand plots of deep philosophy to be great because they do these simple aspects of the human experience so well, and that’s why we all love them despite many calling them bland or boring
I just watched this as my first anime, the whole thing in 1 day. I think I'm hooked.
I decided to watch Tamako Market after I had watched this video and I'm so glad I did. I finished the last episode like 4 minutes ago and it was so uplifting, like everything was lighthearted and I feel like things like the quotes could be applied in real life since they're so true. There were two quotes that reminded me of another video of yours, the first one was "Mido-chan. I feel like I'm standing on the edge of space too." and the second was "I don't want to change. I want to change. We all hold in our hearts conflicting feelings, each back to back. And so we live our days.
" Both of these reminded me a lot of your At The Entrance To The Universe video which I also loved.
Tamako market is one of my comfort shows, I rewatched it a couple times when I was feeling bad lol. I love that there is no antagonist, everything is nice and calm which is doing wonders for my anxiety😂
I don't think it can be understated how Reiko Yoshida's work on CLAMP adaptations like Angelic Layer and Kobato, the very community-focused Aria, being the original writer of Tokyo Mew Mew and, of course, K-On, made her uniquely suited for this story.
tamako market is so underrated.
Okay I've never heard of Tamako Market before this video but I'm about to go watch it because this video alone nearly brought me to tears.
I am new to this however many can relate to this. a series like this will show things can get better in the world.
Alright. I've put it off for years. You've finally convinced me to watch this show
Jack, thank so much you for posting something so uplifting... it's an extreme contrast to so many of your "more popular" peers on this platform.
Tamako Market is lovely. Tamako Love Story is even more wonderful.
My wife and I have been within a few blocks of Denmachiyanagi Shopping District -- but that was several years before we saw Tamako Market (only this year). This little corner of Kyoto gets plenty of anime attention -- also Eccentric Family, Tatami Gallery and Night Is Long, Walk on Girl. When we finally have a chance to return to Kyoto, I think we will need to return to the area around Denmachiyanagi. ;-)
When i feel the grips of day to day life clinging harder, making me feel as though I'm loosing my humanity and optimism. Simply watching her animes make me feel whole again. She has truly changed my life and if i had the opportunity to thank her in person I would take the opportunity without fail.
I almost cry at the end....
Kyoto animation offered us so much good things
Wow, I haven't felt this warm in my heart since... It just makes me miss Kyoto animation even more now.
Tamako market was one of my favs back when I was struggling with socializing with people back in junior high
for some reason tamako market made me happy
Love this! Just finished watching Tamako recently and it's such a bright spot. Thanks for making something that shows us just how much love went into it and echoing its optimistic and loving message.
Nothing brightens my day like an UnderTheScope video about KyoAni works
Fantastic job my man, you're exactly right. We all need some Tamako these days.
This anime is just pure wholesomeness
I like tamako and I also like all of kyoani's work, thank you AND also this is the first kyoani's work I've ever seen and I like all the character design and especially tamako (ofc) becuz she has that Moe feel to it
I watched this anime last year. Didn't really understand why I loved it and kept watching it. It felt like so much and depth has been put into the production compared to other series similar to it. I barely knew about kyoaani until the tragedy happened. I read up on it and sure enough I could gather bits and pieces on why I love their works. The people who worked on them are not just doing their job for the sake of it but also enjoying it and learning from it. So far I think kyoani is the only studio that puts care to their staff and not just the art their creating.
Everyone who worked there at that studio was clearly loved and cared for which is shown through the love that is presented in their animations
i loved watching AND rewatching tamako market. its hands down one of my favorite animes
Wow, I feel like I learn something amazing every video I watch here. Subscribed.
This video keeps showing up in my recommendations to remind me that I still need to watch this anime.
I'll let you all know how it goes.
Putting a reply to see the update whenn it does come😼
I'm crying when I'm watching this. I am glad I didnt take Tamako Market for granted. It is such a good show, and a gem. I also salute those people who died in the Arson. may them RIP
Wow. I'm struggling to find the words to thank you, congratulate you, and share how meaningful this piece of work is for me at this time. I am truly thankful there are people like you that produce such valuable, thought provoking, and emotionally impactful content.
Bravo, and thank you!
Aahhhmmm. My heart is aching, and my eyes are teary. Thank you.
Still honestly one of my favourite quote
"There are some things you can gain by letting some things go. Happiness isn't just what you have here and now"
I wish we had this kind of mind set in our society...like being optimism... and just being open minded to all...
This is so true, I was always happy when watching Tanaka market and it brighten my day
It's basically K-on with a large bag of sugar
this is a Great anime!! Was hoping to see how Mochizou & Tamako relationship develops on Season 3
Naoko Yamada is turning into my favourite director and the more of her work i watch the more i love it.
"Market is exactly what you want to watch while you are eating dinner and drinking beer." I am doing both right now, can confirm.
By happy coincidence, this video appears on my UA-cam page just after I finished the 4th episode of TAMAKO MARKET (on HiDive). After last year's horror, I resolved to watch the entire Kyoto catalog that I hadn't seen yet.. TAMAKO MARKET is nearly last. (Still have AIR, BEYOND THE BOUNDARY, and some movies to get to.) Each series or film has just been a joy, even if I end up weeping at times, and TAMAKO MARKET has been a nice cuppa each evening for the last four days.
I always love watching your videos. They’re usually one of the highlights of my day
I just finished this series recently... I love K-on and I really miss this art style. The talking bird was a little jarring at first and they could have dropped the magical talking bird altogether and just kept the market interaction and the everyday life of the townsfolk. I do like Choi chan though she's such a cute character and yeah the talking bird is also charming too so he somehow work in the show for some stupid reason even though he doesn't have to be there... and now I have another pilgrimage spot to visit now at 3:27.
One of the best scenes for me is when Tamako discovered that the song her mother used to sing is a song written by his dad to her mother 😭❤️
Man you really made me break down bruh. I love this show and everything I’ve watched from KyoAni, it just reminds me of childhood and makes me so happy. God damn bruh you really made me cry wtf.
I watched this when I was just getting into anime and really it still is one of those slice of life shows that just sucks you in and makes you feel at home no matter how much time has passed and no matter what point in life you are💞💞
Another brilliant video by Under The Scope,love almost everything I saw on your channel ,keep making great content!
I started watching this anime today and here you uploaded the video. I'm not gonna watch the video now ill comeback once I finish watching it
Please watch the movie too ;)
i've watch Tamako Market a few years ago but I didn't know someone will take about it
this year
whyyy am i about to cry from a video essay about a show i watched like two years ago
What a wonderful rendition of "Ue o Muite Arukou" at the end! Really tied the video together and helped me feel, dare I say it, quite optimistic ^^
When things start looking down, let's look up while we walk.
