Hi this is unrelated to the song challenge but it’s a post I wanted to make before I got distracted by said challenge

After trying to contain my Roselia obsession (did I actually try? no), I’ve come to the conclusion that it can’t be done. And so I present to you:

Roselia Songs That Make Me Cry Part 2

Neo-Aspect

• Melodically this song is just so beautiful and it was born out of so much guilt and getting lost before finding the way again I cannot
• The chorus is so raw and powerful and comforting at the same time and the heckin. High notes. God. It’s even better in certain live performances where AiAi does that voice crack/squeak thing coming down on the melisma
• The “Kitto” at the beginning of the second chorus is softer than the others. AiAi reproduces this, without fail, every single time she sings it live
• The vibrato on the “Oto tsubu wo” in the bridge

Sanctuary

• I didn’t pay much attention to this song at first and that was dumb of me bc the Roselia summer event is the follow-up to BS2 and that’s basically the entire reason Sanctuary hits me so hard. It’s Yukina saying, “I never want to hurt you all again and I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening”
• DEAREST YOU ARE MY DEAREST do you know how much pain those words bring me
• It was actually a comment by Nine Subs on one of their videos that got me to look at the lyrics properly. They mentioned the “Konna ni mo kitto/Konna ni mo zutto” part where Yukina can’t even finish the line bc she can’t fully express her feelings in words and the only thing that will get them across is, well, dropping everything and yelling out that F#5. No but really it does things to me

Yakusoku

• Literally every time Lisa sings
• “Flower of life”
• The entire bridge but especially the way Yukki sings the “Shinjite ite saigo made” and Yukina and Lisa doing the “Yakusoku dayo” together. Their friendship is everything
• Yukki absolutely breaking my heart at Rausch

Ringing Bloom

• The fact that the seiyuu said this song makes them cry
• The keyboard in the intro . . . Rinko is on fire and I’m living for it, it’s like she’s pounding out her resolve
• Rinko’s singing doesn’t make me cry exactly but it’s just. So nice
• This. THIS

aaAAA

I’m saving Part 3 for a certain song and event that’s coming up so no I’m not done heh
