Clannad is life.

Really sad. A love story about a vampire (yeah, I know it sounds absurd but just keep reading) who once was married but his wife died of an illness. Then, one day after long years of loneliness he found a girl identical to his dead wife. The song is about how he watched that girl for the rest of her life, and how he loved her but she didn't knew him, so she married another man. You have to watch the PV to understand.
It's from Naruto and reminds you of all the characters who died! #bitter
