I became “( ゜Д゜) Ha!” after listening to Maaya Sakamoto’s Bokutachi ga Koi o Suru Riyuu (The Reason We Fall in Love). This song has the emotions and the covered parts of Elise in Sonic the Hedgehog! Especially this part:
Doko made mo doko made mo
(Anywhere, anywhere)
Chikadukeba tooku naru kimi ni koi o shita
(If I got close, I’d have fallen in love with you, who’d get further)
Sore dake de sora wa hiroku fukaku natte iku
(With just that, the sky will go on getting broader and deeper)
