I think the OP was not made for the first episodes, rather for "the whole" which has a melancholic yet hopeful vibe of self-improvement and joy for what is life and experiences we share through it

Yeah. As a manga reader I always felt most of the people hating on it were anime onlies who thought the entire story would be as sad as the first couple episodes. The story is very melancholy and I've cried over it tons, but it's also very joyful and fun and silly and adventurous. This intro always felt like a great fit to me.

I'll never understand why people hated this OP. What a banger.

私も初めて1話で聴いた時は、かなり明るい曲調なのでストーリーと合わない気がしましたが、同時にKZreadで公開された日本語フルバージョンで歌詞を2番まで聴いて、何故明るい曲調なのか納得しました。 彼女にとって、ヒンメルたちとの冒険は決して悲しいものではなく輝かしいものだったからだということを明るい曲調で表しているのだと分かりました。 海外の方々がこの曲をまだ気に入らない、と思うならば歌詞をフルバージョンで最後まで読むべきです。考えは180度変わるはずです。 特に2番の歌詞は明るい曲調なのに涙を誘うはずです。

God damn, i got hit hard when i first hear this full song in japanese and was worried you will not get the lyric, but damn i cried again when you realize what the whole second part was about. The last part lyric brightly shining scenes is so so sad that it always put tears on my eyes. Great reaction and thank you!

This song and this anime are all about "儚さ hakanasa" which is one of the core value of japanese culture. It's tough to translate but it means "being beautifully and sadly fragile". It's often used about life or memories. They're gonna disappear in the end, it's sad, but we think they're beautiful and precious because of it. That's why we love cherry blossom, the flowers are blooming and dying at the same time. Remember how beautifully put the "Oshinoko" 1ep's ending was? That's it.

I don't know why people hate this op, it's such a banger and I really appreciate it in the show.

i feel everyone saying it doesnt fit the vibe are basing it entirely off of only seeing the first episode. the sound perfectly fits the vibe from episode 3 and onwards, which is the main vibe of the whole series

The thing about YOASOBI's English versions is that they not only keep the same meaning and rhyme, but they also try to make it SOUND like the Japanese ver that you might forget which one you're listening to. It's more noticeable in Idol imo, but it's still in this one too: compare the start of the chorus in both versions: JP (Onaji michi...) vs the English (Odyssey that we...)

1:40 Not to mention that Yoasobi is ALL about singing sad/dark/depressing lyrics with happy/uplifting music in basically all of their songs.

Whoever said this song doesn't fit the anime probably didn't read the lyrics - it's like Himmel wrote it for Frieren.

its other way around, its Frieren wrote it for Himmel

I feel like the opening is exactly what frieren the series is. Its not about the mc being sad all the times as it is about her just revieving her pretty good memories and mostly just learning to be gratefull for the heros gang. The song is mostly fast and sounds like someone explaining a story in a way to just get the point of it across without the emotional bit but does some "uoh uoh uuuoh" things once in a while being carried away by the feelings a little and then going back to the point, sorta like our elf. Honestly couldnt be a better frieren op

Plus, it's specifically a love letter to Himmel.

I really like your reaction Everyone should know the meaning of this song, because it is very touching. Intended for Himmel 💔

I too was touched by these lyrics and almost cried...

I didn't feel very strong about this op while watching the anime, but I did love the outro. But listening to the full verisons with you helped me appreciate it more and see it in a different light. It was only after the season is over did I start appreciating it. How very Frieren huh? Edit: HELL YEAH I WAS WRONG! WE STILL GOING BABY! THE (mere) TEN YEAR JOURNEY DON'T STOP

This song grew on me. The more I listen to it the more i enjoyed it

OH MY GOSH, THE BEST PART OF THAT OP MV WAS AT THE 4:55 of this video hahahahaha that famous kiss from Freiren, the First death of Himmel hahaha

nice reaction:) I like watching your riaction video.

Like you, i almost cried when first time to listen the second verse. Yes, Frieren have not been found herself that she loves Himmel, I think so too. This story is a journey for her to know love.

I love the series it just goes so well with Frieren as a whole show.Also the lyrics ,the lyrics are so good

1:27 it's actually funny because it's an actual genre/style, Happy sad songs. The beats may be up beat, but the lyrics aren't, examples are Pumped up kicks, and Yoru ni Kakeru.

@KusabiTetsugoro

Ай бұрын

Beat doesn’t define tone of the music for me. Melody does that. And there’s almost always something deeply heart-piercing in Yoasobi’s melodies. Yuusha, Gunjo and Yoru ni kakeru all made me feel all kinds of things way before I learned what the lyrics meant

Honestly ... This song (JP version) is my favorite OP of all time ... closely followed by "Hikari No Hahen" from the series "Orange" and "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" from NGE.

音は思い出の美しさを歌詞は切なさを表現してるように感じます それが合わさり素晴らしい曲になってますね 歌詞の百聞の一の旅ですが日本の言葉で 百聞は一見にしかずと言うのがあります 沢山の人に聞くより、自分で確かめる方が良いって意味です

この場合は100分の1ってことじゃない？それともダブルミーニングなのか。 作中でピンメル達との冒険の時間を、人生の100分の1にも満たない時間と例えたが、その100分の1にも満たない時間が彼女にとってかけがえのないものとなるところに美しさがあるよね。

The 2nd verse really drop the emotions wtf

4:23 that's the other elf from the opening She seems ominous in the op, Friend? Enemy? Watch and find out

The last scene is a metaphorical expression. The four birds are Himmel, Heiter, Eisen and Freelen. The two butterflies are Fern and Stark. The flower garden is Master Flamme. The Japanese lyrics contain many lines from the manga. I was wondering if the English lyrics are lines from the English version of the manga. It is as if the rhythm of the song is synchronised with Freelen's way of life. I love the music video and cry every time I watch it.

You can be melancholic without sounding like it. Yoasobi clearly sang in a depressed voice tone for this one, unlike in Idol. Edit: It's clearly a representation of how Frieren perceives time and how she desperately tries to find happiness by living a happy life, but struggles to show it in expression since loneliness and melancholy is a common dillema for elves. The elf guy we met in the previous episode, should be proof of that. Elves just have a really cruel life of loneliness, and they have to cling to whatever they can if it means they'll find some comfort in this world. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if a murderer elf appeared. You never know what loneliness can do to a mf. @@fabiospar

I'll be real. I was holding it in, but by "I'm perceiving you around," I realized my eyes were letting go just a bit. I had not heard the full version until this. I'm sensing and addition to my "Only Playlist" of anime gold....

lyric まるで、御伽の話 終わり迎えた証 長過ぎる旅路から切り出した一節 それはかつてこの地に影を落とした悪を討ち取りし勇者との短い旅の記憶 物語は終わり、勇者は眠りにつく 穏やかな日常をこの地に残して…。 時の流れは無情に人を忘れさせる そこに生きた軌跡も錆び付いていく それでも、君の言葉も願いも勇気も、今も確かに私の中で生きている 同じ途を選んだ それだけだったはずなのにいつの間にかどうして 頬を伝う涙の理由をもっと知りたいんだ 今更だって 共に歩んだ旅路を辿れば、そこに君は居なくとも、きっと見つけられる 物語は続く 一人の旅へと発つ 立ち寄る街で出会う人の記憶の中に残る君は、相も変わらずお人好しで、格好つけてばかりだね あちらこちらに作ったシンボルは、勝ち取った平和の証 それすら未来でいつか、私が一人にならないように、あの旅を思い出せるように、残された目印 まるで御伽の話 終わり迎えた証 私を変えた出会い 百分の一の旅路 君の勇気をいつか風がさらって、誰の記憶から消えてしまっても、私が未来に連れて行くから 君の手を取ったあの日全て始まった くだらなくて、思わずふっと笑ってしまうような、ありふれた時間が今も眩しい 知りたいんだ 今更だって 振り返るとそこには、いつでも、優しく微笑みかける君がいるから 新たな旅の始まりは、君が守り抜いたこの地に芽吹いた命と共に…。

明るい曲調でも、歌詞が分かるとその分とても悲しい曲になりますね。 ただノリがいい曲ではないという事に気づいてくれてありがとう。

Yep. Yoasobi is still figuring out English, even if she is a goddess in the Anime industry.

I didn't even realize the music video showcased a couple of characters the anime hasn't introduced yet, but as a manga reader I'm excited for when it does

This music video will never make regret who watching it. I love it.

I've been waiting for this reaction

It took the second verse for you to realize that this OP was a love letter for Himmel but for me, as soon as this line droppen 6:21 I knew this was going to be an emotional damage

This song is much better heard from Apple Music. I have included this song in my song playlist since a week ago. I think this song is perfect as the opening song for this anime.

YOASOBI is a storyteller.. Their work based of Story like Novel, Manga or just short story.. And they usually make it as the character POV..

Of course, we understand that different individuals have different preferences. However, I feel that those who claim that this song does not suit Freelen at all do not understand the meaning of the lyrics. Regarding the reason why Japanese words are sometimes inserted into the Japanese version of the PV. This is an expression often used in Japan. Of course, they also serve as supplementary subtitles. It's hard to explain, but visual characters in Japanese sometimes do more than just convey the meaning of words. For example, you may want to emphasize a message or express an emotional atmosphere. Even if the sentences have the same meaning, the impressions and detailed meanings of the sentences are different. You can also change it intentionally by changing the type of characters used or the combination of kanji.

you remembered me about your reaction in oshi no ko eng ver song it's was same like this YOASOBI is fantastic on share the feelings in he is songs

I feel this opening would have been much better received if it was played for the second half of the show not the first half. On it's own it's an incredible song but with how many sad scenes are in the first half of the show it rubbed people while the ending was just otherworldly in it's compatibility with the show and writing.

I don't get the criticism. The OP greatly catches the overall established tone of "The time will pass whatever you do, whatever you don't do, with or without you, and all that will remain is memories, so get your shit together and move on, before the clock Ctulhu runs over you".

4:26? Great Mage Flamme, the mentor of Elf Mage Frieren, and the other elf was Great Mage Serie, the mentor of Flamme or you can call it "Walking Grimoires", Warmonger, or anything just like omnipotent mage that still lived until now.

I prefer the original Japanese version, obviously YOASOBI would make an English version for the American market but for me this is just a commercial move, nothing less, nothing more, irrelevant in the end, like the English version of Idol... The good thing is that YOASOBI is a formidable group, that's why the result sounds and is understood so well...

The OP is a great song, and I love it. But I just don't find it a good match for what Frieren is. The lyrics are perfect, but it just doesn't sound right to me for the story tone wise. Which is why I am just so in love with the ED, because it fits the anime so perfectly, it's like a glove

I wouldn't call it 'rhyming'. It's fine to do this forceful vocal cramming once in a while but not almost every passage.
