- I have probably looped Hana no Tou over a thousand times at this point. I really am still addicted to Lycoris Recoil. I love Chisato and Takina too much. Help.

Hana no Tou lyrics (made by me):
[Verse 1]
The manga that you brought me
And the flowers with unknown names that you gave me
Are you coming yet today?
It’s the first time I’ve learnt of this feeling
Tracing the pictures on the window, travelling through space alone,
That should have been enough but………
[Chorus 1]
If I take your hand,
I’ll never be able to come back to this town that doesn’t know loneliness
You reached out your hand,
And shadows are born from light
Sing to me the rest of this story
Take me to a star I’ve never seen before
[Verse 2]
To the top of this tall tower,
Where no hand or voice can reach
The balloon vines fly,
I just want to see you laugh
I’ve been filling in the unfilled holes up until now with habitual conversations and goody-goody poses but………
[Chorus 2]
Kick the boring days away
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the two of us could swim through this city together?
In a voice louder than I’ve ever let out, I can finally reach you…..
This amount of distortion, I’m sure it’s just right
Connecting the ends of the world
[Bridge]
Tracing the pictures on the window, travelling through space alone,
That isn’t unfree, but…….
What I want to choose is a racing heart, a sky full of mysteries
Now it’s time to rewrite this safe loop.
[Final Chorus]
If I take your hand,
I’ll never be able to come back to this town that doesn’t know loneliness
No matter how much we get lost, let’s go see both the lights and shadows
Sing to me the rest of this story
Take me to a star I’ve never seen
Connecting the ends of the world
Gonna pin the lyrics used in the video for everyone's convenience

did you used to make Re zero Vids before they got Nuked i feel like ive heard your voice before but i cant put a finger on where
As someone who loves hyper-analyzing the things that I love, I can't get enough of these videos. Amazing work as always. It's also really cool to see someone finding the things that English audiences aren't as privy to, especially since it seems like there's a lot of cultural-specific symbolism that can be hard to get across.
Thanks man, I really appreciate the support as always. Hope I can find ideas to do more of this sort of analysis video in the future
Videos like these are really great and help see stuff we didn't know earlier
I don't know if you've listened to the latest Lycoris Radio but Shingo Adachi, the director was a guest on the show and he mentioned that the story was supposed to be about both Takina and Chisato but because it was only a 13-cour anime, they only focused more on Chisato. He said if he had more time, he would have covered more of Takina's backstory, which according to Shingo, would have shown that Takina had a tragic dark past. If they have a second season (hopefully) I hope they finally cover that backstory.
Oh shit I actually haven't so I didn't know that, that sounds like really good continuation material, I was also thinking they could have Chisato find out that Mika killed Shinji for the heart and have that as a big plot point for Chisato
@@redjoker Hopefully Shingo would get to do those ideas at some point. I would love to see them played out on the screen so hopefully the Lycoris Recoil Event in February could announce a second season. I've been really impatient for the details of that event. Heck, I could even be happy with an announcement of an OVA or something. If not I'll settle for the current running manga. I know the manga is covering the first season of the anime but maybe there's hope for it to cover more material. And then there's the spin-off manga coming out this month which is basically an adaptation of the Lycoris Novel "Ordinary Day." Either way, it's an exciting time to be a Lycoris fan. 👍 And by the way, great analysis! Glad I ran into this. Very much agree on each point.
Man flexing his Japanese knowledge and pronunciation and as a person who have lived in Japan 3 years I can say your pronunciation is as smooth as the ED entrance and your translation is very flexible. I don’t know how long you studied Japanese but definitely better than the average anime enjoyer who only knows Kimochi Yamete and Hentai lmfao
Edit: I forgot to call this out but HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL SHITTING I MEAN SITTING AT 900 SUBS YOU'RE MY FAVORITE ANIME REVIEWER AND YOU DESERVE AT LEAST 100 TIMES YOUR CURRENT SUBS WITH THOSE SENTENCES
Thanks for the support as always haha, I'm still shit at japanese compared to actually good people but hopefully I'm getting there. (and hey kimochii yamete and hentai were probably some of the first japanese words I knew too lmao)
Must admit, i absolutely loved Hana no Tou (And Alive too) not just because they are absolute masterpieces, but because in a way, both songs hit close to home for me in a way no other op or ed had ever managed before (from the ones i've listened of course).
Really loved this analysis too, made me love Hana no Tou even more and i didn't think that was even possible LOL
I understand this so much, both songs really felt like they were made for Lycoris Recoil.
And glad you enjoyed, I'm also still addicted to Hana no Tou
As a hard working Japanese citizen, the way of Chisato gave that speach, it does felt into my heart as it say "its ok to times if you work free and dont expect others to judge your work" like my teacher told me before she died of heart attack. The way I felt its so clam and sad at the same time for every time i sing the song. One of the best ending yet after Homura by LiSA, Daijobu by RADWHIMPS, Orange by 7!! and many more. Also I found mistakes of your lyrics, for every line that have this: Sing to me the rest of this story
Take me to a star I’ve never seen
Connecting the ends of the world.
It sIould be: Sing to me the rest of this story
Take me to a star *THAT* I’ve never seen
Connecting the ends of the world
Anyways, thanks For Making The Lyrics Better, I have never seen this better version of the lyrics :)
Thanks a lot to my teacher too, I love her so much! Thats all. I will subcribe to you
This is my anime of the year, and song of the year, i don't care about others say :).
Also, in my perspective, the song was about telling someone how grateful they are for coming into their life, changing it, and wants to keep living with that change.
I tried learning japanese
But not because of anime, it's because of my first girlfriend was a half japanese. Doulingo is a good app to learn but if you want be more proficient you must attend classes.
Your video really is great, keep it up dude.
Wow, literally one of a few videos that actually explain an animes ending...this is new
Very good video. This show has impacted all of us in many ways.
Thanks, and yeah this show definitely has a grip on us haha
Bro, maybe it's too late to write this comment almost two year later, but this video is literally A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, just like the video "Yes, Lycoris Recoil is a Masterpiece".
I share your analysis so much, in both of the videos. It is difficult to find a couple in anime that sounds so real and well-crafted like Chisato and Takina, especially if the anime is both "slice of life and action" genre! You took into account every particular and that's is outstanding, and I would have thought at the same interpretations.
And yes, I am a fan of Lycoris Recoil just like you, and no, I don't think that the theories you explained in the video are "far-fetched"...because they are real and actually have been written for that (jokes aside: the lyrics is so suitable and I believe this). Nice video man!
The Ending became a Meme now in Japan editing it into funny video clip much like the "Directed by Robert B. Weide" meme. You can find a lot of videos of it in RUclips (in Japanese text of course)
"
🤯... 🤩😆
I've seen so many of them on my RUclips recommended and I can't stop clicking on them
you got a subscirber right here. i love how you explaining this and your opinions plus i really like your mind set and you made me feel im not the only one who thinks that deep of this song!
Thanks for the support man!
“how fucking gay, I love it”
bro why 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I stand by this
Well there is now a drama cd with both girls wearing wedding dresses and another where all of them sing karaoke at a love hotel lol. Adachi knows what he’s doing.
These girls that want to take each other "to unseen stars", that go on a "let's buy underwear" date and that wear wedding dresses together are in love ?? Picture me surprised
So what have we learn today children?
Never murd*r without consent
Consent is indeed important
Late Arrival to the comments. But I Recently concluded watching this anime, with subs and then dubs and back to subs. I speak no Japanese but I made a similar go of translating the lyrics using other peoples translations. In my Day job I am a high school English Teacher and I have to say that your interpretation and analysis tracks for me. I also believe the story shifts POV as you have said. An absolute master piece.
god I love watching your last lycorico video and immediately finding your newest one on accident
Sayuri slaps.
Nobody will convince me otherwise
Sayuri indeed slaps
Conclusion: This is ChisaTaki's anthem and love song to each other (okay hear me out: if we somehow get some kind of sequel where they get married, their first dance should be to a piano&violin version of Hana no Tou, that'd be beautiful), ChisaTaki is canon, denial is a river in Egypt, LycoReco is YURI AS F********************************************CK!
I actually love the series more now that I know the meaning of Hana no Tou, given that, well, I initially checked LycoReco out for the same reason as any other run-of-the-mill Dynasty Scans-dwelling himejoshi: ChisaTaki. It just feels like there's one more thing that can make me squeal over this couple and considering that if squealing over yuri couples being adorable was a paying job I'd be a googolaire (that's one followed by a hundred zeros by the way), I just love when I have more reasons to squeal and giggle and kick my feet in the air. Ahh, I really am hopeless, aren't I?
All in all, great analysis, dude. Thank you!
"how fucking gay I love it"
I like gay things
I shouldn't have laughed so much the way I did when that girl was run over.
I just remembered how close Chisato got to dying and legit almost teared up again this anime has my entire heart
Imma hold you to that becoming a lycorico channel 👀 lol
oh no I've trapped myself into lycoris recoil
@@redjoker a fate worse than death, really
lmao but seriously have you checked out do it yourself!! yet? Cause it's looking like another adorable lesbian anime with phenomenal dialogue and animation
(this isn't me like, prodding you into watching it or something but I thought of you when I watched it cause it's so ridiculously fun to watch and a bit similar to lycorico)
IMO, i would like to think about the line "no matter how much we get lost, lets see both shadow and light together" refers to "no matter where life throws us, lets live our life through sweet and bitterness together"
this makes more sense as what we can see,at the end where they chose to spend their times together
remember the beach scene when takina ask chisato what she want to do with her life now? and then somewhat they are now at hawaii together, wearing matching bracelets?
This is one thing I wish they would do is English dub the credit songs for us westerners
really simple: i hear the first two notes, and i go crazy (also how many Lycoris Recoil videos can you make in a row lol)
every time i get starved of lycoreco content, i always go back to this video and still always find myself smiling at the heart and soul you’ve put into this extended gay ass analysis of hana no tou. i’m so fucking happy to see you obsess over chisataki because god! same here
i’m not even going to lie, because of my obsession with lycoreco, i’ve finally found it in myself to pursue studying japanese and your translations really did help with extending even just a bit of my japanese vocabulary. anyhow, i’m glad to see that i’m not the only one who’s this passionate about lycoreco. this anime truly has awoken something in me as it has touched my heart in ways that i can’t aptly explain (hell, it even got me back into writing again) and i can see that it has done the same to you.
ahaha, i’ve probably rambled on for far too long, but anyway... cheers to more lycoreco content and a season two (because i’m really getting very desperate)!!
Gist of the analysis: They are in love.
Reminds me of an author 'hananotou' in Ao3 fanfiction site, lots of amazing stories they've got there for chisataki.
great vid, i loved the anime and the OP/ED are so good
3:09 missed oportunity to put the US national anthem, flag, bald eagle and a shotgun in the background at the same time you said the word *FREEDOM* xD
ah shit a missed opportunity
I think one small thing that's evident on takina having an effect on chisato is the lil pug acrylic. If you go back to their timed date before takina returns to da, there's a quick scene in the montage of them at a claw machine. And Chisato claw picks up a pug plushy rather than an owl plushy (there were only 2 types of plushies and both were on different sides). Like. Come on......
You didn't pay attention to the symbolism in the opening, when they put the two towers side by side, one is torn into chaos, because the explosion, beautiful but torn inside, and the other is straight and output, hell, they literally put Chisato and Takina in front of them if you not catch the symbolism, Chisato is pure fun chaos, meanwhile Takina is rigid and strict, began slowly low her barriers.
Oh, do you mean the opening song? I went to rewatch the ed and I didn't see it there. Nice catch though, thanks for the info!
Cheese Toast & Fish Sesbian Lex 🥵❤️
This was unbearably awesome. Yes, I loved Lycoris Recoil. Yes, I consider it yuri, but I use the broader parameters which refer to the emotional/intimate/reciprocating relationships between gals. YES, I totally dig the whole "secret assassin organization keeps peace through Alt+F4ing would be trouble."
This video killed it.
no cap best series 2022
That's why Sayuri is the GOAT! She's the goat!
The Erased Ending was my favorite before this total proof of gay ship. But now this must be my top pick
"this amount of distortion, is just right" or something like that, the use of distortion is actually rather odd, as in distortion is just a strange word to use there. I have never seen the anime so this is all conjunction based off what little I know but I have two different interpretations of this line. The first is that the distortion is talking about the world, and how it's twisted just enough to connect the ends of the world, the two main characters. The other is the two mc are both distorted enough to connect where other have failed, and from there change one another.
Cute but deadly assassin school girls 👍
i love you have my sub
Love you're LecoRoco content covering my favourite lesbian couple! 💜
I like the idea 😏
😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏great
Tone down thy references, some children watch your content too
Can someone teach me how to interpret any song with this kind of knowledge 🥲
Uhhhhhhh English class? (jk my English class was shit)
