This show looks amazing.. I think. At first I thought it just looked beautiful and had some awesome voice actors (Mamiko Noto, yay!) but I wasn't sure if it had any story, but after watching a few more promotional videos, I saw that it probably and hopefully does. I would have watched it either way, I am pretty sure, but I just wanted to post something about it here! It's so beautiful and charming looking, I hope there's a good story to go to it.
In case you haven't heard the Japanese theme song to Final Fantasy XIII, I really love it. A lot of people complained about it, but psh to them. I like it. And this video is sexy. It probably has spoilers but since I haven't played the game yet I can't tell what spoils what, so it's okay with me. Anyway, the song is so pretty, I recently got it. Maybe I'll share. The song for the NA release is different but I am not too keen on that one, although I don't want to go around saying I hate it and it's horrible and stuff, it's just not my taste. Also, in case you were wondering, Nobuo Uematsu did not do the soundtrack or the theme song because he is doing the Final Fantasy XIV soundtrack.
Okay. I decided to share, but I did not upload this.

ENGLISH -
“It’s okay if you cry,” because you suddenly told me so
For some reason, I felt happy and a smile spilled instead of tears
With way-too-awkward words, I ended up hurting you
However, you didn’t leave me
And even now, you’re supporting me like this, surely…
A wish I want to fulfill, a dream I want to fulfill, thoughts I want to send, everything-
The act of continuing to believe summons a miracle and it’s connected to the future
Forever, hey, I want you to watch over me forever
Dear My Friends
“You’ll be fine,” because you told me so when we were about to part
The loneliness that I felt, with that single remark, vanished neatly
To open a new door- Anyone would be scared and full of anxiety about it
But because if I recall you, who pushed my back
Strength comes and overflows in me
Honest feelings, inexorable things, frank words, everything-
If I could convey them audibly, then the future would unfold
Always, yeah, because you exist in my heart always
Dear My Friends
Even if stand still, even if I seem to forget
I vow to face forward time and time again, for no matter how many times
Light shines in from the sky that I looked up at
Until the day when I can meet you again
Honest feelings, inexorable things, frank words, everything-
If I could convey them audibly, then the future would unfold
A wish, a dream I want to fulfill, thoughts I want to send, everything-
The act of continuing to believe summons a miracle and it’s connected to the future
Forever, hey, I want you to watch over me forever
Dear My Friends
