This song helped me a lot today

No One Lasts Forever.

Today I had to confront not one but two people for some past mistakes. And they were both adults. Partially the fault lied with me as well. I was a nervous wreck. Kept on taking deep breaths out of rhythm. Nothing much helped.

Then I put this song on out of a whim. When the line “That's why I'm not scared of anyone

'Cause nothing's gonna last forever” came, it gave me a rush of new energy and a reminder.

I hv always been aware of such philosophies like "eh, it'll jus pass" or "the world keeps spinning" yadda yadda, but today I was really going through something daunting and demanding.

But hearing a song convey that idea for me really put me back in place. Right now I'm alright. Thanks Charli.

Y'all have no idea how much I BAWLED my eyes out during this moment

I recently finished the manga, and this chapter (144) made me ugly cry the fucking most.

The detail of Kudou's grandfather's appearance in the 9th image made my eyes wetter than the Niagra Falls.

During this reading, I was listening to "LilaS" from "86" anime, which in itself is a very emotional song, so you can imagine the combinations. 😭🤌🏻

I lov every little thing abt this chapter. Kudou hugging Kurata, meanwhile all the side/supporting characters' faces shown in the audience.

I lov every single one of it.

The next morning, I put the music on back again and looked at these saved screenshots and STILL cried on my pillow lmao.

What a truly remarkable story. It pains me to see it not be as popular as it deserves. But oh well, I will FOREVER cherish this piece of fiction until the end of time. 💝

How was your first reaction to this?

Why so less fics? :')

Plus the most recent fic for this ship is over a year ago lol.

Comparatively Momoya x Yoshinaga have 32, and Houziki x Kudoo have 97 works (excluding language filter).

I guess that's the cons of a small fandom.

Personally, I find the senpai couple very cute (Kurata x Kurusu, that is). I had no idea that they would be a couple before starting the series. They deserve the world. 💗💗💗

Who is the artist?

I found this on Pinterest with a.i tag, but the watermark suggests otherwise. Does anyone know the artist? If it is made by a human (and not a slop), that is.

What is the possibility for a third season of Kono Oto Tomare?

Since the manga is nearing its end, do you think the production of the third season of the anime could be started?

While I know adapting this manga into an anime sequel is extremely difficult, especially with the challenge of recording complex musical performances for so many amazing high schools, I am more than willing to wait as long as it takes, even if it takes decades.

More than anything, I want to experience the unique world created by this sound and hear a live performance of 'Ai/Harmony' with my own ears.

Maybe at least a CD album could be produced?

What do y'all think?

I just finished the Kono Oto Tomare manga, and I am NOT okay. (Thoughts.)

​

(Made this picture my wallpaper btw.)

I am sitting on my bed, still in awe over what an incredible piece of fiction I just read.

This happened with no planning whatsoever. All I was exposed to was the "Tone" opening song and a singular edit of the anime. That was it.

Yesterday, I finished the anime, then got started with the manga right away because of how entertained I was.

Over several points in the story, I asked myself, “How many times am I gonna cry while reading this?”

In the anime, I cried over the >!music shop's granny interactions !<and the >! relationship mending between Houziki and her mother!<.

In the manga (that I just completed), I cried over >!Yoshinaga's past!<, >!the mending of Kudo and his father's relationship!<, >!Kudo hugging Kurata when the team was declared the national winners!<, >!Tetsuko's relationship with Kudo all along!<, >!Kurata slapping Kuro when he had submitted the club resignation letter,!< and more.

This is the first time I have ever cried over a manga, and I am thankful for it to be my first experience. The emotions were portrayed so beautifully that I couldn't help it.

Something about the character-writing in this story is so special that I cannot bring myself to hate any of the characters. Yes, that includes >!Uzuki!< and >!Miran!< who did get on my nerves initially. I could still develop a sense of pity and understanding for them.

The anime adaptation skillfully presented the music which I dearly hope we'll get to hear again in the future season(s).

Even in the manga itself... The black and white, stunning images and the texts gave me more goosebumps than the animation. The power that it held in its artwork and lines was no joke.

The romance is another thing which I'm so grateful for. If this story was majorly music and competition focused, then I may not have been as impressed as I am right now. The inclusion of romance has made me so attached to it. (The senpai couple. 🫶🏻 Kurata x Kurusu.)

The familial relationships are very sensual and commendable. Of course, that includes not just the main couple's, but literally everyone's whose were mentioned (Momoya, Yoshinaga, Tetsuki, etc.).

All the performances in the nationals before our main group were presented masterfully that I noticed myself feeling afraid for them... “What if they actually don't win?”

But no... I was gladly disproven. When the group walked on the stage and performed, it was spectacular. It felt cathartic to see the audience's reaction— the judges included. They were moved. And so was I.

I'm telling you, I was SAT during their nationals performance... until the results announcements.

>!The way Kudo hugged Kurata when they were announced first!< ??????? Wow. Just perfection.

(I want to talk about more moments in the manga that had me gagged, but I'll make separate posts about them some other time.)

So... that concludes my writing.

I don't know what I did to deserve reading such a fascinating story. I am so so so sooooo impressed... Seriously.

Where would I be without fiction?

Right now, I wish I could physically meet the author and kneel-bow in front of them for creating such a beautiful story.

The water from my eyes is flowing, and my heart keeps rowing either way.

P.S: Tetsuki is da mvp. Suzuka sensei and Kudo's dad are hot. Momoya being >!Uzuki's brother!< plot twist was fabulous writing.

Watched Kono Oto Tomare for the first time today

There were a couple of edits that showed up on my algorithm of this anime, so I got curious.

I binged both the seasons today, and now I'm craving for more!!!!! 💕💕

Of course, I've started with the manga already.

The anime had so many amazing moments. It also made me cry.

I lov the inclusion of romance in the music/competition genre.

So excited to see the future of these precious characters!!!

Let's jus say that I'm a fan now ;))

One of the most beautiful album covers ever

How I discovered Lamp was through this album cover. It reminded me so much of my favourite book: Kafka On The Shore by Murakami. I like to imagine that it is the two characters, Kafka and Ms. Saeki in the picture. This connection was what made me check out Lamp and their discography.

Even apart from that, it is a truly gorgeous picture. I could look at it all day.

The Hyperballad dilemma

Though I respect the original phrasing of lyrics, 'again' adds a layer of nostalgia. It evokes a powerful sense of yearning to revisit a past sanctuary—to be held once more by the person who formerly provided that safety.
