-----------------------------------------
After the rain, between the clouds I see　
A shining beam of sunlight
Spotlighting your face through puddles near my feet　

There is a feeling I’ve got deep inside
That I’ve been keeping from you all this time
And the plan is to contain it, hidden in a dream

Waiting for the sun
For I can now see across the mist, pulling me over the past
Looking through the clouds
Said just to be near’s enough, but I want you to see me too

In every part of the world
I could never trust a thing but you would change my days
And now I’m feeling safe　
Shining down from above
Everything is now in sync
You cleared the rain
I pray that it won’t be erased


Walking across, down the colored stairs
Arrival from above, you see our hues
Move me all the time
Your story’s repeating in my mind

Searching for the time where sun again fades
Your mind is so full with advancing your life
Crossing every line
And being that major part of your story’s all I could want

In every part of the world
Every bit of time I needed to remain always
will someday be all spent
Everything, I’ve heard 　
Rhythm from our lives repeated seem to trace, one day,
Counting down to an end


Your heart is beating
I wanna feel it by you

One day this feeling
Could be completed by you

“FLARE" Void_Chords a.k.a. Ryo Takahashi Self Liner Notes



—

The structure of this piece presents a type of Hope and Despair. Despair and (the resulting, sort of pleasurable feeling of) Violence, and the possible conflict of a Hope that is brought about by that Violence. Something self-righteous, but on some level, you find yourself empathizing with. The concept was musically conveyed as a fusion of bass music similar to trap and drum & bass, that doesn't try to hide the distortion and twistedness present in this state of mind. The starting point was an orthodox jazz fusion idea, and the arrangement contains a smoothness with piano, electric piano, and jazz bass. However, when the electronic beats supporting the tempo and the string section from the double quartet comes in, there is a hybrid quality to it, that interestingly merged very well into the context of a J-anime song. LIO's super solid vocals were a perfect match to the chorus that comes running in all at once. In addition, Masato Honda's saxophone brought a sudden sense of luxury to the piece. The intertwining of the parallel m9 chord and bass before the interlude was my favorite.

静寂
空からは遠く離れた場所
困難まみれの暗闇の中にいる
自分の熱を失う前に
必要なものを見つけなければならない
すべての時間が戦い
ここから出る時までは

いきる意味を求めてどこに行けばいいのだろうか
焦点が少しずつ合いはじめる
わかっている
それは自分の奥深くに

内からの力が溢れだすほどに
(破壊、破壊、破壊、教えてくれ自分の運命を)
熱でいっぱいになってきた俺を見てくれ
(新たなる痛み、痛み、痛み、そして顔をだすその強さ)

この世界がたとえ冷酷さや苦渋に満ちていても
すべてを打ち倒す
力を押さえつけても無駄だ
何がきても地に叩きつけてやる

思うがままに進め
熱いなか走りきる
暗闇から始まった思いが
やがて空をつらぬく
その力は自分が持つ強さの中にあるんだ

心の痛みが体をつらぬいたあと
もういまここには弱かったあの時の自分はいない

まだ見たことのない世界が
この先どれくらい広がっているのだろう
どこにいたとしても自分が向かう先は分かっているさ

時間を越えてたどり着いたこの場所
まだまだこの運命は続く
そう何がきても
乗り越える覚悟は出来ている

内からの力が溢れだすほどに
(破壊、破壊、破壊、教えてくれ、自分の運命を)
自分から放たれる炎を感じる
(新たなる痛み、痛み、痛み、また内から力が溢れだす)

抗えない運命の冷酷さを感じても
自分のあるがままを貫く
思うがままに生きる為の
力がもっと必要だ

戦いは自分の内側にも外側にもある
救いなき状況でも
最後まで走りきれ
光を放っているのは希望

自らの宿命に向き合い
(どこへ？)
闇の中に答えを求めてもその答えはむなしい
(なぜ？)
光に照らされ映し出された影の中に真実が顔を出す
闇の奥の奥
そのむこう側に光が見える
その光こそが永遠に何処までも道を照らす

沈黙
幾多の時間を越えてたどり着いたこの場所
今なら分かるここにいる理由が

冷酷さや苦渋にみちていてもすべてを打ち倒す
力を押さえつけても無駄だ
何がきても地に叩きつけてやる

思うがままに進め
熱いなかを走りきる
暗闇から始まったこの思いが
やがて空をつらぬく
運命は自らが切り開くんだ

[NOILION]

Our vocalist LIO !! This song is absolutely epic!!

[revantsinha]

One of my favorite Anime OPs ever. The tuning, vocalist all are in perfect sync. Really Underrated song, it deserves more recognition

[南陸かなまふの推し人]

あ、歌詞です、


1.Silence
And nowhere near the sky

Living in this darkness, paved in strife

Before I lose fire
I’ve gotta find what I need

All of time’s a fight to strive, till I get out

Where do we go for life?
Coming back again into focus

I know Deep inside my world
Watch it fillin’ up inside (Gonna, gonna break, break, break Tell me, tell me my fate)

Watch me fill with fire (Brand new, brand new pain, pain, pain Show me, show me my strength)

(サビ)
Feeling the ruthless Still, I’ll take you down
Holding my power down’s useless
Come and hit the ground

Go on and follow it
Running on through the heat

Watching the notion in darkness shoot up through the sky

Hiding inside your strength


2.Mind ache
Stabbed through my soul, and now

No longer in shadows, I perceive the light

World I’m yet to encounter
I wonder how far I’ll see
Where ever I stand, I’ll know where I’m to go

Traveling far, arrived
But this strife will continue again

I know I will overcome it all

Watch it fillin’ up inside (Gonna, gonna break, break, break Tell me, tell me my fate)

Watch me flare with fire (Brand new, brand new pain, pain, pain Show me, show me my strength)

(サビ)
Feeling the ruthless
Still, I’m moving on

Gaining more power’s the solution
Freedom’s to be found

There’s a battle outside of me and within

Even when everything’s hopeless
Go on till the end

Shining inside’s your wish


Starting to face my destiny again (Where do I go?)

Reasons unanswered, ask in darkness, hard to see
(Show me why)

A shadow forms across the light, look inside it, find the truth within
There’s a light within the dark

Showing the meaning, forever shine


(間奏)(後、個人的にここのサックス音好き)

Silence… Arrival past the time
Now I see the reason for my time here

(サビ)
Feeling the ruthless
Still, I’ll take you down

Holding my power down’s useless
Come and hit the ground

Go on and follow it
Running on through the heat

Watching the notion in darkness shoot up through the sky

Rising above my fate

終

[shindeiru]

I hope they come back for Arifureta S2 too because this OP is one of the only two things that is worthy enough to be praised in the S1 with the other being the story

[Eathrien]

1:22 part during first opening always got me.

[Regulus_]

ありふれにピッタリすぎる曲だなぁ
結構アニソンの中でも好きなんですけど、伸びてほしいな！
二期のOPも、この曲でも全然大丈夫なくらいです！

[CopyableOak]

Arguably one of the greatest Anime OPs in recent years, I always wondered where the first 35 seconds was in the previous versions that had been uploaded to YT given it's presence in Episode 12 "A Looming Shadow", and now, I have it, and my goodness it is freaking FANTASTIC to hear it.

[automatiik_yt]

Holy crap! This is one of my favorite songs. Thanks for this version Void Chords!

[leonardowynnwidodo]

This song really is inspiring. Along with its upbeat style, it gives me the message to persistently move forward without doubting myself, as well as giving my all.

[williammorales]

This has got to be the best official lyric video I've seen. I always love when they put art and other animation such as this rather than just the lyrics. My favorite part of the lyrics is "the world I'm yet to encounter."

[Vizahru]

FEELING THE RUTHLESS, STILL I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN! Damn that part slaps hard! This is awesome

[hajimeisayama]

This song is really motivational if you understand the lyrics,

It's like the song you can enjoy and understand at the same time.
It's like you're in a middle of your own battlefield having a hard time but on fire to overcome any ordeals.

[orfeaskapsalos]

kinda unfair that this song doesnt have even 1m views. its really very good

[ChaosMissile]

"Go on and follow it, Running on through the heat....!"
- I dont know what is it about this particular part, when paired with the scene of sensei appearing and acting cute(alongside all the classmates) feels like peak emotion; like a form of morality chain holding back from fully falling to darkness kinda thing.
It kinda gives me abit of goosebumps everytime that part comes up in the OP.

[hanayaseth]

I love the build up. It make us waiting on what will comes next, and we're washed by calming tune, albeit still carry some weight with it. I say well done and great job for this piece. It's one of my favorite.

[benwpianocovers]

this is the best song ive heard in such a long time. i love the sax, the funky bass solo, and the way the vocalist just bends the notes making you feel like she can bend space and time. an incredible mix of genres i never couldve imagined. this is why i love music so much. when someone can bring something new and unique to a place filled with billions of already existing masterpieces, it just hits different, and you realize not everything is black and white. thank you for the song!

[rksfip]

*It's 2024 and this song remains legend❤️‍🔥*

[someinternetguyiguess]

I haven't heard this song in years, but I just remembered it and GOD is it good.
