Tear Jerker / Kalafina

Go To

  • "Aria" by Kalafina, especially in the context of the fourth The Garden of Sinners movie, where it is used as the ending theme.
    "From within the endless darkness
    The bonfire you gave me
    Is lighting the life
    That was born within my hollow chest"
    "Rowing this lonely boat
    The bonfire keeps assembling grief
    In this hollow world
    Your aria is resounding..."
  • Similarly, "Sprinter", used as the ending theme for the 5th movie. Especially harrowing since it follows a tear jerking heroic sacrifice — which is made all the more tear jerker by the fact that it was unnecessary yet unavoidable.
    "In meeting you
    I saw a dream that could never come true
    An eternity that could be overcome within a single second"
    "Facing the wind I wave a torn flag
    On this way where you are not
    I will live my life for myself
    Till the end of the world..."
  • Then there's also "Manten"/"The Whole Sky":
    "I don�t need a bouquet of flowers
    to mourn me
    Just grant my wish while my heart isn�t crushed
    I want to see for myself
    the moment when people�s wishes
    are filled with brilliant light"
  • Also "To The Beginning":
    "My scream and prayer
    for a world where people will no longer cry
    go nowhere but vanish instead in the sky tainted red
    So I�m able to throw away all solace and go on"
