ENGLISH "Violet Snow" Violet Evergarden (Akane Sasu Sora)

"Oh dear heart, so sweet..."
I usually talk about trivial things here, like how much I loved a show, or how I found the song. But KyoAni... man.
It still hurts to think about.
KyoAni's one of the most progressive studios, and one that treats their employees really well. They try to make everything in house, focusing on keeping up with their own employees rather than severely underpaying freelancers like most of the industry does. And they put so much care into everything they make- every frame- and it shows.
It really isn't fair.
But when I see everyone come together like this, to support them? So many people coming forward and saying how much KyoAni's work meant to them? Raising like, 6 million dollars in 2 days to help them recover? That makes me really proud to be in this community.
To hear that KyoAni still plans to work on shows really, really warms my heart. That they're not going to stop, even through all this. I can't do much from my place here, but I hope they know we think they're some of the bravest people in the world, and that for them we have nothing but love and respect.
Thank you, Kyoto Animation!

LYRICS:
Life is a journey, feelings of hopelessness...
Loneliness, she sleeps them all away!
Able, graceful and she always keeps her promises...
Every ending has a new beginning...
Unexpected things, will happen!
But there'll always be a silver lining...
Time heals all sorrows, gain love and no worries!
Cause nothing is more precious than love,
noble, faithful, she's pure as the driven snow...
Oh dear heart's so sweet!
It's her way of life!
No doubt about her sincerity...
A fragile beauty, the one and only...
She's not only gentle but she's brave!
With honest eyes, it's true...
Lost in the labyrinth
Not knowing what love means...
She's truly a treasure! Peace of mind...
No fears, no more tears...
Set the spirit free and stay alive!
Oh, dear heart, so please!
Time heals all sorrows, gain love and no worries!
Cause nothing is more precious than love,
noble, faithful, she's pure as the driven snow!
Oh, dear heart's so sweet!
(Ahh, now and forever!
Never forget her!
Don't ever change, just stay the same!
Oh dear heart, so sweet!)

I do want to say that Kate Higgins sings the official English version of this song, and that really made me fall in love with it. Love her voice. She was great as Saber, and as Lissa in Fire Emblem: Awakening~
