the last day of my adolescence is the opening theme song for the Suruga Devil story featured in the Hanamonogatari anime series. It was written by meg rock, arranged and composed by mito, and performed by Miyuki Sawashiro, the voice actor for Suruga Kanbaru.
Background
The song tells of the singer's struggle towards her goal while bound a past that haunts her. Eventually, the song depicts the singer's sole efforts to move on from the past, while deciding to be oneself and not become like others.
Opening Sequence
The opening sequence for the Hanamonogatari anime series shows an alternate retelling of the development of the relationship between Suruga Kanbaru and Rouka Numachi. In this retelling, Suruga and Rouka are shown as friends turned into lovers when Rouka confessed her feelings for Suruga through a kiss, but their relationship immediately broke down after Rouka was injured. Suruga eventually confronts Rouka in a one-on-one basketball match. The sequence shares the same lily motif as in Ambivalent World.
Lyrics
Japanese Rōmaji | English Translation |
---|---|
Mune ni tsukaeteru Kore wa nandarou? |
Something weighs on my chest What is this? |
Jiyuu to iu na no Fujiyuu no naka de |
Free in name only Chained in reality |
Kongaragatta kotae ni ganjigarame Karame torareru you ni makikomare |
I'm in a straitjacket of complicated answers And involved in a web of trouble |
Kimi no inai Chirakatta sekai |
Without you The world is in a mess |
Kokoro ga sakebu basho e Hitori hashitteku |
Hearing the voice within cry I run alone where it leads me |
Tobikoerarenai Haadoru dattara |
There is no hurdle Too high to overcome |
Sugu ni wasurete wa Mata omoidashite |
Soon forgotten But just for a short while |
Rashikunai kedo rashiku mo aru Hyouri ittai kakudo shidai |
Unlike me and yet like me The same coin looks different from different angles |
Yasashikute Aimai na hibi ni |
To those comfortable And blurry days |
Kokoro ga sakebu basho e Hitori hashitteku |
Hearing the voice within cry I run alone where it leads me |
Kokoro ga sakebu basho e Hitori hashitte ku |
Hearing the voice within cry I run alone where it leads me |
Kokoro ga sakebu basho e Hitori hashitte ku |
Hearing the voice within cry I run alone where it leads me |
