song sharing - anata ga inai



Kuribayashi Minami - Anata ga Inai (You're not Here)  栗林 みな実 - あなたがいない
Vocal: 8.5/10   Music: 9/10   Lyrics: 8.5/10   Arrangement: 10/10     (36/40)

So this song is from an anime that I haven't watched at all. It's from the anime "School Days". What I like about the song is Kuribayashi-san's bright and emotional voice, and the somewhat-familiar melody. The melody is one that easily captivates people. I'd say that it's the somewhat-typical anisong tune. The lyrics are incredible too, despite its simplicity. It's something simple like "you're not here", but they do turn out beautiful. To me, the lyrics are honest, and that makes it incredibly beautiful. At the same time, it speaks about the situation of many people, so I really love this song. And about the harmony of the song, it's just pure perfection. The chords are quite special, resulting in a unique harmony. It actually took me some time to figure out the chords. After finding them, I was utterly surprised with the sound of it. Lastly, I must emphasize how amazing the instrumental break before the last chorus repeat is. THAT IS JUST PERFECTION. *emotional burst*

Favourite lyrics: (i'm unable to copy the kanji lyrics :/)


nakayoku naritakute koe kaketa no (I talked to you because I wanted to know you better)

junsui na hitomi mabushikute (your pure eyes were so bright)
chikaku ni itai kara motto motto (I wanted to get closer to you, so more and more)
chiisana itami wa shiranai furi (I pretend to forget the tiny pain)

wakariaeta noni umaranai kyori (though we understand each other, there's always a gap that can't be filled)


anata ga...inai (you are... not here)

koko niwa...inai (not by... my side)
ukeirerarezu ni sagashitsudzuketa (unable to accept it, I kept on searching)
