Waltz

August 20, 2005 | 17 Comments

Well, I finally managed to obtain the CD single for this song. Damn, if the song doesn't bring a lot of memories. I can't believe that it's been more than a month since I last hear this song playing as the ending theme of Honey and Clover. Thanks to a friend, I also finally managed to get a hold of the PV. This sure is one of the weirder PVs I've seen in a while. It doesn't help that the girl in the PV looks as if she'd rather be elsewhere than in the PV. Oh well, at least it includes the not-so-subtle Ferris Wheel imagery that has become so synonymous with the series.

Honey and Clover 1st ED Theme
Performed by Suneohair

Kanji/Kana version

あかない瞼こすって見える
パステル模様の未来に
散りばめられた記号を辿る
たぐり寄せた表情

ねえ、何だっけ　探していた物
あれは、そうね　いつだっけ
僕等が引力に逆らいながら出会った頃

それはワルツの様だね　不思議さ
ささやく様な木漏れ日の交差点で
二人ワルツの様にね　廻りながら
描き出してゆくもの

温めすぎた想いを全部
吐き出して見えるランドスケープ
半年以上くすぶらせてる
イメージに灯を燈して

何だっけ失くしてしまった物
それでもいいんだって
僕等の引力で引き合い　求め合うのだろう

それはワルツの様だね　素敵さ
呟くようなさえずり聞きながら
まるでワルツの様にね　二人が
描き出してゆくもの

あぁ、とぼけた現実も
原色で塗り替えてしまえ
引き寄せてあげるから　ねえ
そこから踊り続けよう
二人だけのワルツ

それはワルツの様だね　不思議さ
ささやく様な木漏れ日の交差点で
二人ワルツの様にね　廻りながら
描き出してゆくもの

Romaji version

Akanai mabuta kosutte mieru
Pastel moyou no mirai ni
Chiribamerareta kigou wo tadoru
Taburi yoseta hyoujou

Nee, nandakke sagashiteita mono
Are wa sou ne itsudakke
Bokura ga inryoku ni sakarainagara deatta koro

Sore wa waltz no youda ne fushigi sa
Sasayaku youna komorebi no kousaten de
Futari waltz no youni ne mawarinagara
Egakidashite yuku mono

Atatamesugita omoi wo zenbu
Hakidashite mieru landscape
Hantoshi ijou kusuburaseteru
Image ni hi wo tomoshite

Nandakke nakushite shimatta mono
Sore demo iindatte
Bokura no inryoku de hikiai motome au no darou

Sore wa waltz no youda ne suteki sa
Tsubuyaku youna saezuri kikinagara
Maru de waltz no youni ne futari ga
Egakidashite yuku mono

Aa, toboketa genjitsu mo
Genshoku de nurikaete shimae
Hikiyosete ageru kara nee
Soko kara odori tsudzukeyou
Futari dake no waltz

Sore wa waltz no youda ne fushigi sa
Sasayaku youna komorebi no kousaten de
Futari waltz no youni ne mawarinagara
Egakidashite yuku mono

Note: You can replace the English words with the more concise Katakana pronounciation of the words:

Pasuteru (Pastel)
Warutsu (Waltz)
Randosukeepu (Landscape)
Imeeji (Image)

Who actually likes the new ED? Like, really?

I MUCH prefer Waltz over Mistake. It fits with the rest of the music in Honey & Clover, compared to Mistake which has a more rock-ish feel, which doesn't fit in with the rest of the sort of 'mellow-rock' music.

i like it, i cant help but sing along to it when watching it. I especially like the guy's soft voice contrasting w/ the rock beat

I really liked Waltz. I personally think the atmosphere Waltz is able to create is more fitting for Honey and Clover. I hope they include the piano instrumental in the OST, it's really beautiful. Mistake has good lyrics but the rockish feel disrupts the mood at the end of the episodes. I always watched the ending in the first 13 episodes but now I skip it because I don't like the song.

I made a comment about my distaste for the new ending song on a previous post (Honey & Clover ep 16) so I'll keep it short. I don't "hate" the new ending, but I don' feel it fits at all. I wish they kept Waltz. I miss it, it fits, it's perfect. Why did the have to change it?! WHY?!

I must say that the new ending song didn't feel so out of place during the recent episodes as they ended with a big WTF which suits the song.

I actually really like mistake.. especially the part where they start singing much softer ( atama kakaete.. yume dato omoi konde mo... ) :D

but of course WALTZ rocks too

I agree that "Waltz" is a far more attractive and fitting song for the series than "Mistake" since it's has a certain sentimentality to it that's congrueous with the series.

Ah, I love "Waltz" ! I miss singing along to it too, but I must say I love "Split" from Honey & Clover II even a bit more, as it has this certain energy and dramatic that gives me goosebumps every so often.

Well, if anybodies' interested - Here's me singing Waltz, ED-length though: http://rapidshare.de/files/34984409/B.Rancourt_-_Waltz.mp3.html

(Hope that isn't rated as spam right away @_@ It's related after all)

Waltz was nice. :) It was like, "It hurts, but I'll keep going strongly for that new, and better tomorrow, but I've come to learn only I myself can bring that. Therefore, I shall support myself with these two legs that guide me, and walk forward, until I can find the light to over power the bleak darkness of today. (Wait! Is that a Takemoto reflection?! D: Come back Waltz!!! Mistake was a mistake!!)"

...I need to lay off the fanfiction. Sometimes I talk really weirdly. >.>

I luvvvvvvvvvvvv Waltz. How awesome is the MV! Altho' it's quite old now i stilllllll love it. It's a fast song but the theme of the MV was quite romantic. He was willing to sacrifice heaven full of girls just to go back being alive in search for that 1 girl who they hint as if they're meant to be. It's so romantic... .
