Is it Yuudachi?

Did anyone actually use the hint?

Pyrite wins. The song is Yuudachi from Boogiepop Phantom.

Don't you love it when no one uses the hint to figure out the song?

I am unfamiliar with that anime or the hint :P

The franchise practically gave birth to the light novel market in Japan. I do not recommend it to anyone who dislikes weirdness or non-linear storylines or natural hair colors.

So... exactly how does the hint relate to the song?

I used the hint - and, as always, am completely in the dark about the anime / franchise or song. Explanation

Anyway I have to settle something urgent, so the next round is up for grabs.

Is it Touhou Kinema Kan's 2nd ED, "When I wish you upon the star?"

Is it Touhou Kinema Kan's 2nd ED, "When I wish you upon the star?" No.

Wow, we posted at the same exact second.

...Word.

It also just occurred to me that Sore ga, Ai Deshou was Lucky Star's 3rd ED, so my hints were technically incorrect. *Face Palm* I hate myself.

Is the anime Voices Of A Distant Star? Or Kingdom Hearts?

Are lies important on the movie? YMMV.
