A Guide to the Japanese Anime Song "Shiawase" from "Horimiya -piece-"

Hori Kyoko, a student at Katagiri High School, is a high-achieving and domestically skilled teenager with a flashy appearance who takes care of her younger brother. One day, a pierced boy, Miyamura Izumi, whom she doesn't recognize, comes to deliver her injured brother, Sota. Despite being surprised by his contrasting appearance at school, Hori is unsettled when he sees her at home. However, thanks to Sota warming up to the shy Miyamura, he starts visiting the Hori household frequently.

きっと知らないだろう捨ててしまいたい過去をふたりの序章だと意味をくれたこと

きっと知らないだろう君が呼ぶ僕の名前由来より大きな意味をくれたこと

The English Translation of "Shiawase" from "Horimiya -piece-"

Surely you don't know about it, the past I want to discard. It gave meaning to our beginning.

Surely you don't know, the name you call me. It gave meaning bigger than its origin.

The sweet cider I drank up, choking, you laughed at me. I don't need those patched-up smiles anymore.

Why do you keep saying "I love you" to someone like me, who only takes and takes? What can I give back? Can I keep living? These dazzling feelings keep growing.

I'll gently tell you the name of this emotion: "Happiness."

I finally understand, what lies beyond our words. It's not just goodbye; it's more than that.

I always want to know, the world reflected in your eyes, and the reason why you don't let go of my unreliable hand.

The long scarf you knit, it doesn't suit me, but you laughed. "Next year," those words kept me alive.

Why do you keep saying "I love you" to someone like me, who only takes and takes? What can I give back? Can I keep living? These dazzling feelings keep growing.

The warmth of our embraced skins, the sparks of our passing. The friction heat of us, what's the true nature of these feelings?

And so, shining upon me, what can I become for you? I'll offer up everything, everything of mine. Even then, it won't be enough. Even if the universe ends, I'll still love you.

No emotion can surpass you. Even sadness turns into love. The destination of this emotion will always be you alone: "Happiness."
