In the city of zephyrs, you had another dream. A sheet of clouds covered above, as you lay on your bed of stars. You felt the soft and warm breaths, so you smiled, for you were drawn in on this vast plain of hopes. You looked forward, and discovered that pretty bridge, beckoning your coming; you know that for you to go home, you still have to keep moving...
anime is a style of art just to let you all know and yeah it makes me think of the studio ghibli films like tonari no totoro mixed with howls moving castle oh and spirited away
This is beautiful as per usual miss!! You have such an amazing voice :) What I was going to ask was, can you send me some animes I should get into? I've watched Witch Hunter Robin, FMA, etc haha thank you!! x
I found some info about the song, but only that it was originally performed by someone else (a.k.a. Nagi's version is a cover). I couldn't find any info about Nagi's song specifically.
Also, Nagi has used other names, is part of units, was a singer for Supercell, and I still couldn't find out if she performed the song while part of any of these or while using another name.

10年ぶりに聴いた
あの時は小学生でこの声も曲調も動画で流れる絵も何もかも好きだった…
やなぎなぎさんに没頭したあの期間、とてもいい思い出です。
声が澄んでいて癒される．．．
いつも毎夜で寝てみようとこの歌を聞いてる :)
久しぶりに聴きに来た 癒された 頑張れる
何回聴いても美しい歌だ。
この位シンプルで、なのに情景が浮かんでくる曲もない。
めっちゃ柔らかい声だわ～
素晴らしい声
i used to listen to this 9 years ago, it feels weird to hear it again after all these years
It must feels...nostagic. Am I right?
yessss back again in 2024! @@Meow-eh8qs
Ever since I found this song 3 years ago, there has never been a song like it. No song I have found compares to its unique beauty.

In olden days, I read a picture book

Today, too, they still search the skies++

On the northside of third avenue,
juusan ban gai kita gawa

There is the shop with a red lamp
akai rampu no omise

If you find the maps of Constantinople & Rome there,
Constanchiru roomu no chizu naraba

Whatever you seek to find will be on those maps+++

The travelers of Constantinople & Rome

Today, too, they are seeking that dream++++

Beautiful, is this from an album? I'd like to acquire this.

Where is this song from (album or something)? I keep searching but I have no luck.
I found some info about the song, but only that it was originally performed by someone else (a.k.a. Nagi's version is a cover). I couldn't find any info about Nagi's song specifically.

i think this is an original song from "Wind Ark"
