Moment #3: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006) – “God Knows”
Of course, hands down The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was the most influential anime of the 00’s. It entirely changed the face of anime culture, and the show’s just having unstoppable insane popularity back then. This scene in particular is the most stand-out scenes of the entire series. First time I watched this back then I was so impressed. From amazing animation, awesome rockin’ music (seriously, this has made Aya Hirano’s own spotlight), and add a bunny girl and a witch guitarist. I will remember this one being one of the most iconic anime moments.
Too bad the franchise kinda failed a little bit with its sorry excuse of a ‘sequel’ and it experienced a little bit of fanbase loss because of the Endless Eight fiasco. I hope the upcoming movie will bring back all the ‘Haruhiism’ again.
Anyway, here’s “God Knows”:

Lyrics: Show ▼
kawaita kokoro de kakenukeru
gomen ne nani mo dekinakute
itami wo wakachiau koto sae
anata wa yurushite kurenai
muku ni ikiru tame ni furimukazu
senaka mukete satteshimau
on the lonely rail
watashi tsuiteiku yo
donna tsurai sekai no yami no naka de sae
kitto anata wa kagayaite
koeru mirai no hate
yowasa yue ni tamashii kowasarenu you ni
my way kasanaru yo
ima futari ni God bless…
todokete atsuku naru omoi wa
genjitsu tokashite samayou
aitai kimochi ni riyuu wa nai
anata e afuredasu Lovin’ you
semete utsukushii yume dake wo
egakinagara oikakeyou
for your lonely heart
yamete uso wa anata rashikunai yo
me wo mite kore kara no koto wo hanasou
watashi kakugo shiteru
kurai mirai datte
tsuyoku natte unmei kaerareru kamo ne

awai yume no utsukushisa wo egakinagara

donna tsurai sekai no yami no naka de sae
kitto anata wa kagayaite
koeru mirai no hate
yowasa yue ni tamashii kowasarenu you ni
my way kasanaru yo

The concert scene in that episode is amazing. Like you said, awesome animation and an unforgettable song. I love singing “God Knows…” on karaoke XD

I love God Knows! It was the song that got me into Aya Hirano’s music. It’s so amazing!

ahah… all the time when this song goes to my player, i stop and headbang. hahaha… getting my band to play japanese songs now…

LOL! Here we get why Haruhi is the GOD! Hirano Aya’s performance is so goddamn good on this song! But suddenly having Yuki playing the guitar with such skills was my biggest question that moment, even though I know she has vast knowledge…
But the most amusing in this whole scene was definately Kyon!!! I laughted my ass off everytime I saw him with this indifferent face but nevertheless rocking his finger along with the rythm!!!
