Honda Minako recorded and performed several songs for the anime; this is my favorite. It is an irrefutable fact that the anime brought the voice of Honda Minako to more people around the world than all of her other work combined. Today, children may hear Minako's voice from other media and respond by saying, "I know that voice"; often a surprise to those parents who are just becoming acquainted with Honda Minako.

The lyrics, while seemingly off-rhythm and grammatically garbled at times, strike right to the heart and mind, as you have just seen. The music, while not too complex, is hauntingly catchy and has a quality of growing on you. Anyway, I hope to type up some more lyrics soon by The Pist, Aus Rotten, Brutally Familiar and Progress.
