Asaka was born in Nagoya on October 7, 1999. At the age of three, her family moved to Michigan, where she would stay for five years. While in America, she had become exposed to anime series Crayon Shin-chan and Doraemon, which led her to become interested in anime. After returning to Japan, she initially wanted to move to Tokyo, but instead she moved back to Nagoya. While in Japan, she watched the anime series Inazuma Eleven and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya; she was inspired by characters singing and playing the guitar in Haruhi Suzumiya, which led her to study about character songs. Although she considered becoming an interpreter because of her knowledge of English,[4] after watching the series Macross Frontier and listening to May'n, the singing voice of the character Sheryl Nome, she decided that she wanted to become an anison singer. At the encouragement of her father, and after listening to the singer Konomi Suzuki, Asaka decided to pursue a career in music.
Asaka began participating in competitions, winning a singing contest in Chubu in 2014. She later participated in an anison contest sponsored by NHK as the representative of the Chubu region in 2015. Following this, she made her debut as a musician in 2016 with the release of her first single "Open your eyes", the title track of which was used as the ending theme to the 2016 anime television series Occultic;Nine. Her second single "Edelweiss" was released in 2017; the title track is used as the ending theme to the anime series A Centaur's Life. Her third single "Shiny Days" was released on January 24, 2018; the title track is used as the opening theme to the anime series Yurucamp, which aired on January 4, 2018.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
scaring in the dark
そして世界が僕のこと忘れても
何度目の曲がり角だろう
僕が見た希望ならここで
誰でもない
君がいるそれだけでいい
笑って
螺旋のように巡っても
花は
影の形を知らない
if...as Edelweiss 手のひらに
if...as Edelweiss
scaring in the dark
そして世界が僕のこと忘れても
気づけない
風に怯えてた
僕もまた変わっていくよ
どこまでも続く世界に
置き去りにされるのは嫌だ
沢山の人を傷つけていくの?
それでも...
やがて
螺旋の影は光に
花は
涙を乾かしてゆく
coz...live in this world
laugh you and me
coz...live in this world
want to be a light
この気持ちは嘘じゃない
強くいたい ためらわない
誰かの願いに背を向けて歩いた昨日
I want be a Edelweiss
I want be a Edelweiss
ねえ世界は
世界は優しい
if...as Edelweiss
scaring in the dark
but...as Edelweiss
want to be a light
ひとりきりでこらえてた
あの気持ち忘れない
風に怯えてた
僕もまた変わっていくよ
僕だけの傷じゃないよ
大切なものがあるんだ
また見えた希望にいま
走り続ける
The lyrics to 亜咲花's song Edelweiss are deeply introspective and reflective, and deal with themes of fear, loneliness, and the search for hope in a dark world. The opening lines, "if...as Edelweiss/scaring in the dark" convey a sense of trepidation and apprehension about the unknown, and the fear that can come with it. The singer then reflects on their own hope and the moments of optimism that they have experienced, questioning how many twists and turns they will encounter on their journey.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of searching for something, whether it be hope or a way to move past the pain and fear that can grip us. The repeated refrain, "coz...live in this world/laugh you and me/coz...live in this world/want to be a light" is a reminder that even in the midst of darkness, there is still love and connection to be found. This sense of hope and optimism is echoed in the final lines of the song, where the singer affirms their desire to keep moving forward and searching for the light, even in the face of fear and uncertainty.
Overall, Edelweiss is a moving and introspective song that speaks to the universal experiences of fear, loneliness, and the search for hope in difficult times. It is a reminder that even in the midst of darkness, there is still beauty and love to be found, and that we can draw strength from these things as we continue our own journeys.

今まで最近のアニソンで心動くことなんて無かったが、なぜかこの曲は聞き入ってしまう。

アニメはなんとなく見ていたのですが、このEDはそれに関係なく一発で引き込まれてしまった…。

Ending Centaur no Nayami 😍
@princessmoonstone9110
Jose Vela yeah! X3
@hts9499
ED曲がアニメ本編よりかっこよすぎるって意見が多いけど
原作を見れば随分印象が変わると思います。
特に委員長はこの曲にピッタリだと感じます。
@user-ey2jp7xh6o
９話を見終わって流れたＥＤは素晴しかった。 あぁ、これが伝えたかったことだと久しぶりに心を打たれた。
