RE: Anime Tracks Thursdays #13: A Memorable Line From An Anime Song

Wakatte ita hazu (I Should Have Known) - Fuushigi Yuugi Ost

watashi hitori machi wo aruku
soba ni itai no ni
sonna koto wakatte-ita hazu
suki ni nareba natta dake
kurushimu koto setsunai ne
wakatte-iru no ni omotte-iru
anata dake wo konna ni
aenai toki mo

English song Translation lyrics

im walking the streests all alone
even though i want to be with you.
i should have known this.
if i fell in love with you that much
it would hurt just as much even though
i know it's heart-wrenching,
i keep thinking only of you,
even when i can't see you.

"Though we had to part, though we could never be together again. We had no regrets. Even if she returned to her world, married another man and had children with her. If the woman I loved was happy, then I could be happy. And I am. Our hearts had joined and so, even if she lived in a different world, that time, we really were together always, always. I would never let go of this feeling, or my love for her." - tatara's word for suzuno at 18:10 Fushigi Yuugi Ep 43

Listening to the song while reading Tatara's message for Suzuno in this episode of Fushigi Yuugi brought tears to my eyes. The fact that history will also repeat itself with the main characters, Miaka and Tamahome, makes it even more painful to see. I get too worked up with anime romance because I can relate to it in reality, like how I interpreted the song line that I chose for this OST; the longing for someone you love after losing them and truth be told those exact lines in the song i chose, I admit I was walking on the streets feeling lost and thinking of that person so it goes to show why song is memorable to me. one of my favourite classic anime song.
