Aoku sun da ano sora ni ha
Ikutsu mo no neiro kasanaru
Kikoe masu ka? hitotsu hitotsu
Omoide o sotto kazoeru

Fukai inori tooku kanata
Kaze o koe te takaku hibiki wataru

Itsu no hi ni ka toki o koe te
Todoku? sono mune ni

Sore ha yume to sora ga kanaderu merodi
Kokoro kazaru houseki no you ni
Soshite itsuka kidui te hoshii
Anata dake no inochi no katachi ha

Aoku hikaru kono hoshi ni ha
Ikutsu mo no negai yurameku

Fukai inori tooku kanata
Sora ni kumo ni subete tokeau you ni
Itsu no hi ni ka arinomama ni
Todoku? shinji teru

Sore ha hoshi o terasu inori no merodi
Kokoro utsusu kagami no you ni
Soshite itsuka kidui te hoshii

I translated the lyrics into English.

The tone colours overlapped in that clear blue sky.
Did you hear that, the quiet counting of every single memory?

A fervent prayer goes far away
The wind passes by in high resonance.
Someday, as time goes by, will it reach that chest?

That is the melody played by the dream and the sky decorating the heart like gems.
So, I want you to someday notice the shape of your own life.
Look, in that hand.

This star which shines blue light is flickering many wishes.

A fervent prayer goes far away
Everything seems to melt together in the sky and the clouds.
Someday, it will be that way.
Can I reach it? I believe so.

That is the melodic prayer from the shining star.
Like a mirror reflecting the reality of mind
So, I want you to someday notice the shape of your own life.
Look, in that hand.

That is the melody played by the dream and the sky decorating the heart like gems.
The melodic prayer from the shining star.
Like a mirror reflecting the reality of mind
So, I want you to someday notice the shape of your own life.
Look, in that hand.

I first watched Shuffle! (anime) in 2007, I am watching it again in 2013, and I still think is one of the best one I'd ever seen. It taught me not to be so indecisive.. This song is just beautiful, thank you for uploading it :) Really, brings back so many good memories~

my favorite song

@jaxsonbateman

It has been over a decade since I watched Shuffle, but this is like the one character song that I find myself humming every now and then. I can't exactly put my finger on why, but I think it might be a combination of two things:

* The catchy, almost entrancing melody
* The VA (Nagami Haruka) combining the vocals perfectly with said melody

While a few of the other character songs are pretty catchy and fun (shoutout to the OP and ED of Sia's Memories episodes), I think the singing ability of their VAs detracts from the song intself.

dont forget Primula travelled their by what she was told of Rin and fell for him, tho it barely showed in the anime... and asa... has had a sorta crush on him for being soo nice... hell i think even Itsuki was actually in love with him... and Kareha the tiniest bit :P its what made the anime awesome

Nerine is one of the most beautiful anime girl in the entire universe and in the history of anime and my most favorite. She is my number one...my everithing. Nerine and Ai belongs to Kevin/J.K.Prime.

@ShrimpyRamen

ich habe so lange danach gesucht! ^^ endtlich was gefunden was nicht aus dem anime gecutet ist oder nur halb ist

@gundam2600

even if i don't understand what she says it's still awsome

@K9RWilliam

she left her opportunities open ;)

@superstar4567

@alwaysdream12 I think he would have if she tried harder. It's really sad though because the only thing that was holding her back was the thought that Lycoris was influencing her love. But when she realized it was her own love, it was already too late and Rin had already picked Asa. If you ask me, I think the most deserving of them all was Kaede. Poor Kaede :/

@94460706

Although i never root for nerine. I always though that her op song was the best

@gokusupersaiyangod787

Lol very nice video I don't even what they saying but I like it lol

@wolfspiritofthesnow

I personaly thin Rin-chan should have picked Primula.. Asa-senpai was also a good choice at the end. Sia and Nerine weere also great lover options though... But I think Primula would have been better.. Shuffle! forever and fever! Btw I thinm they came out with a second season though.. It's just i rumor I heard.. If you know for sure please let meh know

@LpEchnaton

Nerine ftw ^^

@MrKamikazeKris

Rin could have had all the girls, If you've played Shuffle! the game both the Kings agreed that Rin could be both The king of the Gods and Demons, and with that he could start a Polygamy Family.

@wolfspiritofthesnow no, they did not. They will not plan on doing that, unless they do something with the expansion to the visual novel, which I have not heard anything about.

this anime was wierd at the end did she turn gay or something. thanks so much for uploading this song ^_^

@rikudoes

In the VN, her song was "In The Dream", right?
Or the version with singing, "In The Sky".

@LisianthusMusic

+Crom Cruach No, "In The Dream" is a instrumental song (of the VN) of "In The Sky" which is a theme song of the VN (sung by Miyuki Hashimoto).

This song, "Pray" sung by Nerine seiryuu, has nothing to do with "In The Sky/In The Dream".
(it's complicated ^^")

@rikudoes

+Lisianthus ~ Neko Atelier But I remember that "In The Dream" was played at the parts where she apparently sings in the VN. So I thought that in the VN, "In The Dream" is her song. And "Pray" is her anime version's song.

@LisianthusMusic

+Crom Cruach It is true, but in the anime, Nerine sung "In The Sky/In The Dream" melody, so it is her song in the anime too !
(in truth, it is Lycoris's song xD)

"Pray" is for me one of Nerine's "anime" theme song, but not her song in the story (unlike "In the Sky").

@kostas1776 sia isn t an idiot. she is cute , she could be an airhead but look at sashi from sharin no kuni . being smart or not is different from being good academics . look at sayaka from suika , she is really smart but she is bad at school. about my opinion on the girls of shuffle. xD I don t know who to choose lol , i ll choose not to choose ( have all)
