The self-defeating Tomo also met under the ramp of the school and supported the hesitant Furukawa Nagisa, the opposite character Fujibayashi sister, decadent best friend Yang Hei and sensible sister Mei, the strong Tomoyo, the confidant eldest sister Yuji Ning, Zhunfa Xiao Kotomi, the young Fuko, Misae who is waiting for her homeland, the optimistic Furukawa family, and the fallen Okazaki Naoyuki. The encounter in the third year of high school makes the town in Tomoya's eyes colorful. Everyone has a past, so everyone believes that as long as they are still together and work hard, they will be able to protect this little happiness forever.
The laughter and laughter on the campus in the first season, strong, brave, shared, moving, warm, the happiness that can be brought by hard work, the happiness that can be faced by escaping, the happiness that can be obtained by believing that we are together, in Turned into a fragile vase in the second season, mocked by the writers and poked to pieces. The old friends who went their separate ways after graduation, the day-to-day work, the friends and Nagisa who got married in desperation, even here, they are all happy, at least, they believe it.
Until Shio was born, the night when the blizzard was raging, the end of the world was as black and white as the fantasy. Just like happiness, selfless work seems to be able to forget memories, and escaping from crystallization seems to be able to escape nightmares. At this time, I finally remembered the smile of my father who was the same as me back then. I remember my father walking down the country road holding hands.
The small town was painted again at the moment when it was brought up in the sea of flowers. Maybe happiness can continue... right? "Dad, do you like snow too?" "...Well, yes." "………………"
Lu Xun said in "On the Downfall of Leifeng Pagoda", "Tragedy is to smash beautiful things for others to see". Shatter all the beliefs created, shatter the precious happiness, oaths become empty and nowhere to go, give, take away, and then turn into dust in front of you.
Throw away the wishes of Guangyu and the town, and there will be no Nagisa who grew up, no drama club, and no after story. Without having and losing, there will be no heartbreak and short-lived happiness.
But when Nagisa grows up, he will still stop on that ramp, he will still walk side by side with Tomoya, he will still give birth to Shio, he will still fall asleep in Tomoya's arms, and the tragedy will be reincarnated again. Realism has never been so suffocating.
It is also because of the wishes of Guangyu and the town that the people in the reincarnation can be redeemed, but the unreal feeling has never been so far away.
This is a drama about happiness, the past, and reality. The name of the play, written as Clannad, read as life.
Salute to the key company.
