Battle royale ending song

Listening to this song while looking at that photo creates some strong emotions. Probably one of the stronger end credit sequences I've seen in a film.

this song is like an old friend. Still remember the days when I watched the BR dvd and replayed this song again and again. Now I just come to KZbin and listen to it, again. A perfect song for an epic movie.

This picture is just so eerie after watching them all massacre each other throughout the film. Amazing piece of work.

[@gun1987gunn]

I agree. There is a definite statement showing this class picture after they all killed each other. Great credits.

I second you on that

[@crankiethekid6198]

Yea thats what i thought also. Best credit

[@martinsedlon]

absolutely agree

[@TheSodaBurst]

Watching the basketball scenes with the whole class cheering and having fun, and then hearing the ending song with their class picture made me cry, it truly did. It makes you realize how the students were just kids, having fun, going through their youth, just beginning their lives, and in the span of a few days, they were pushed to the edge thanks to a cruel government that they had no say in. In the end, all of that was gone.

[@rogerjones7126]

This ending always made me sad because even though they hated each other under different circumstances they could have been friends..

Because they all killed each other before your eyes while here they just look like a normal classroom like any other in the world and whom anybody in the world can identify to.

[@rubenreyna2198]

The movie was great at representing who they all were. Most of all they were just kids with problems they didn't get to deal with. Adults took over.

[@bartdude82]

And the fact that it’s black and white. Idk but those colors are so eerie feeling to me

[@vincentgraymore]

@@bartdude82 Black and white is often used in order to show that something is old, like a memory, and not the present. This is the class before it all went down, so like a memory of old, combined with a song about how life simply goes on, and the old days might not have been so bad despite its flaws. Showing a normal high school class compared to what we are left with afterwards, which is basically everyone dead.

[@sarahl9398]

I saw this movie in 2003 when I bought it randomly from an Asian movies and CD shop in Chinatown. I was 13 at the time, but this movie introduced me to the world of Japanese cinema and Beat Takeshi!! I watched this movie several times in the years since. It's still so chilling, especially the lighthouse scene with the girls. This song perfectly wraps up the movie. Very nostalgic.

This song gives me a feeling of regret for how petty school life was, we all grow up to realize the only things that separates us is the way we treat each other, we succumb to social psychology which is unavoidable at first but we can learn to overcome if we allow it and are bold enough to apply it, trust me if you are reading this and are of school age, treat others with kindness and respect and you will not look back with any regrets. - Craig

[@Jeremy-sj3pr]

This ending strangely made me miss high school life and all the ups and downs of it. It was horrible for me personally, but I guess I just miss the structure of going to class everyday, being young, and having hopes for the future. Sucks how things ended for this class.

Seasons come by again. A comfortable spring day, With out anything to do I think by myself in the tree lined street. The days go by without any break. I am struggling to manage myself here. Sometimes, let's live a life Without thinking so deeply. Morning comes, the sun rises again. Outside the window the south wind blows the pain in my heart. Shall the tears I shed in the past days be pulled into my unconsciousness. what is important is the light, I'd like to stay here a bit more.

Like that, goes away ONE WEEK. With my tired body I take ONE DRINK At the meeting place my friends are all there. like every day we spend the night chatting nonsense to continue on with these days I flap my wings like a bird. Everyone is doing their best. Don't lose; we don't have a pinch runner. Going over the people laughing at you, catch the dream you imagined into your hands. Wish to the shooting star after the rain. Now stand up my friend. WE GO EVERY DAY ikou emi de hikari no terashi dasu hou ni hirakareta mirai mezasu you ni WE GO EVERY DAY ikou emi de kabin ni mizuwo sasuyouni negaiyo kanaimasuyouni WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter To the direction of the shining light heading into the open future ahead.

In the far back of the noise can't you hear the voice of the wind drifting away now where and why. Obvious though, I listen on. Like putting your own future over it. Wanting something to be said about my self, is the same feeling. My life goes away bit by bit. Now I possess multiple copies of my childhood dreams. I make a stupid face as I brush my teeth in front of the mirror in the morning. Going outside. I live a day like this. I'll stop waiting for the night. Resting isn't bad, charge up your energy. quietly the city ticks away time. Connecting our dreams, we make an arch.

Lyric Plants and trees are green, flowers are in full bloom, and colors abound The seasons are turning again and it's a mild spring day I have nothing to do but just think of the tree-lined avenue, alone now Everyday life passes without a half-time I'm just trying to make ends meet I'm just trying to get by Sometimes I don't give a damn what I'm doing The morning is coming, still the same, still the sun will rise again I'll do it all over again Outside the window, the south wind washes away the pain in my heart Tears of days gone by, time will soon take me away in unconsciousness If time takes me away in unconsciousness All that matters is the light I just want to stay here a little longer We go every day with a smile To the one the light shines on, to the future that's open to us We go every day with a smile May your dreams come true This unseasonal rain blurs the expression and its tears Gerra before it stops falling Gerra before it stops falling One week, one week, one week, one week One drink, one drink, one drink, one drink, one drink, one drink The destination is our friends, and as usual, we talk foolishly through the night As if these days will never end Like a bird spreading its wings and flapping its wings Everybody's trying so hard, don't lose, there ain't no pinch runners With those who mock us laughing in the face, we grab the dream we've drawn and hold it in our hands A shooting star after the rain, I'm praying for you, come on up, comrades! We go every day with a smile We go every day with a smile We go every day with a smile May your dreams come true, like water in a flower bottle Somehow, I turned off my cell phone and listened to the hustle and bustle of the world. I can hear the wind, it's drifting away, now where is it going? I'm listening to it as if I'm lonesome Overlapping my future I want you to say something to me, I feel the same way The irreplaceable life that I'm wearing down I dream of my childhood and I dream of the morning in front of the mirror with my toothbrush When I brush my teeth in front of the mirror I'm leaving the house, living day after day I don't want to wait for the night anymore, I don't care if I rest, I just want to build up my strength The town where time ticks by quietly, the arch that we connect with our dreams The stairs of quiet days...

You know in the book Kazuo flipped a coin between taking on Sakamochi (Kitano) and fighting other students. One can only wonder if anyone would have even died besides the first two students had Kazuo just unloaded his firepower on the school with the kids supporting him instead of fighting in the Program.

I think either Mitsuko or Kiriyama should have won. Its BS that Noriko and Shuya get to live, they were just lucky.

This movie, picture, and song were all sad and happy. So many groups and students forced to massacre each other. And I felt so fucking sorry for Mitsuko. She had a shitty life and she could have had a better experience afterwards but she didn’t make it. Her death kinda made me tear up. She just wanted better. :(

One of the greatest films

深作欣二が青春を鮮明に捉えていると証明されたエンディング。

@DaigojiGai I haven't bothered seeing the second film, because I have heard that it didn't deserved to be watched. So thank you for giving me a reason to watch it.

I own the first film on blu ray, and iTunes. One of my fav movies.(I’ve search for this song on iTunes even Google Play store but can’t find it. So thanks for the upload.

You can like Battle Royale, for the frighteningly real description of turning friends on friends when faced with a death threating situation; or you can dig Hunger Games for a more lighthearted take on the whole concept. In my opinion, the two movies emit a whole different atmosphere. Especially if you read the Battle Royale novel (which I highly recommend to anyone who loves the movie! It's really a whole notch darker and unsettling as the movie; really well written as well!).

[@AceHalberjt]

This song, plus the context of all that just happened in the movie, plus Rainymood gives me so many feels.
