He Will be missed Dearly

[@anaphylaxis6599]

omg I came here because of kiznaiver

[@athanatiusc]

ah..thats why it sounds familiar XD i come here just because of youtube recommendation...

[@grialinfo4426]

This is the song of a father who knows he is going to die, saying goodbye to his beloved daughter, and asking her to, despite everything, keep going. I don't think there can be anything more beautiful than this.

[@Mediaright]

Kinda a companion piece to Shelter actually.

[@NoxusXVX.]

Literally just started watching Kiznaiver and i loved the OP song which brought me here, now i've just read that the band are splitting up because their vocalist/guitarist is suffering partial paralysis from a fourth brain tumor relapse. It's sad to hear someone going through that, but if this song is anything to go by then he's helped create some great music. I wish him and his family all the best.

[@MadDadLad]

Rest in peace Kawashima-san. This is a beautiful thing to leave behind for your daughter who, from what can be seen in this video, was raised with so much love and support by her loving mother and father and this video is without question a celebration of that love for one's child. And as heartbreaking as it will be for her she can, at the very least, carry those fond memories she shared with her father with her throughout the rest of her life and she will need only look at this video to realise how dearly she was loved by her amazing father. Thanks for the amazing music BBS!

Beautiful song. This song represents the love for a child only a parent who truly loves can understand. You would stay alive for eternity if possible to make sure they are taken care of.

[@psychotictactoe]

Breaks my heart that she'll never have her father with her as she grows but damn she will have his spirit in his music!

[@zantetcam8740]

I have three children, two young daughters. This song kills me every time. I don't cry often, not at all but, this song.......

[@grialinfo4426]

It's understandable. It's really... a good thing.

[@Sindy5]

Good bye Kawashima Michiyuki :´( i never forget your voice and your music.

[@TheLegacyOfSejohn]

after listening to this song, this song wasnt meant for us but for his daughter.

Years have passed, and your music still rings in my ears. Rest in peace, Kawashima-san. You are missed greatly.

[@volume163]

Rest in Peace Michiyuki Kawashima. Even 4 years later, we still miss you. Hope all is well with your family

[@antdujar]

I’m still sad that I won’t hear new stuff from boom boom satellites. Got me through a lot since Appleseed. All their records are solid. RIP to the singer. A great legacy left behind by a legendary talent.

[@mediawarmonger3850]

the producer for the boom boom Satellites is a new band now called the Spellbound.

[@TheMitcher]

The shot at 3:57 always makes me emotional... when you imagine that it's Kawashima-san flying away, saying goodbye to his daughter, wishing her the best. Beautiful song... will greatly miss you!

[@heliotropei]

The top down shots at 4:38 also struck me.... especially when the series of shots ends with the rabbit. it looks as though he’s looking down at his daughter as the rabbit and will continue to do so forever

🇪🇸: Recuerdo tener 24 años en 2007 que fue el año en que descubrí DIVE for you y su disco ON. Fue una época complicada pero buena en términos generales. Recuerdo vivir en Madrid (España) con mis abuelos en su casa y salir con mis amigos los fines de semana a discotecas para ligar con chicas y pasarlo bien. La música del álbum ON de BOOM BOOM SATELLITES siempre estaba conmigo. BEAT IT y GIRL eran mis canciones favoritas pero DIVE ON YOU era algo superior. Recuerdo aquella época con nostalgia porque las dudas sobre mi futuro me atenazaban y no sabía qué rumbo mi vida tomaría. DIVE ON YOU me ayudó a abstraerme de todas mis incertidumbres e inseguridades. Gracias BOOM BOOM SATALLITES especialmente a Kawahima san por tanto arte, creatividad, sonidos maravillosos y voz portentosa. Nunca os olvidaré. 🇬🇧: I remember being 24 years old in 2007, which was the year I discovered DIVE for you and their album ON. It was a complicated time but good in general terms. I remember living in Madrid (Spain) with my grandparents in their house and going out with my friends on weekends to clubs to pick up girls and have a good time. The music from the album ON by BOOM BOOM SATELLITES was always with me. BEAT IT and GIRL were my favorite songs but DIVE ON YOU was something superior. I remember that time with nostalgia because doubts about my future gripped me and I didn't know what direction my life would take. DIVE ON YOU helped me abstract myself from all my uncertainties and insecurities. Thank you BOOM BOOM SATALLITES especially to Kawahima san for so much art, creativity, wonderful sounds and wonderful voice. I will never forget you.

[@yorudrift3903]

Its been 7 years still one of my fav song

[@ibec69]

I just can’t handle it. I watch this over and over again in tears. Rest in peace brother.

[@scrubs9285]

The first 90 seconds brings back a strong memory. My family was on vacation in the Galapagos islands, and we were currently in Tortuga Bay, a beautiful secluded white beach. The water was so calm and clear, the sand was the softest I had ever felt under my bare feet, and this incredible urge came over me to run. Every step felt like velvet and my mind went away to leave only my senses. I started laughing. I couldn't stop. For maybe one or two minutes it was pure magic, running on this beach, my mom trailing behind me. I hope to someday feel that euphoria again.

This video really looks like he's trying to pass a message to his daughter (which is the kid featured in this video). It is almost like he's saying that he'll always watch over her. It could be just my imagination but damn that makes you wonder.

[@addybuckler7730]

That’s sad that u said that as he’s dead now rip

[@PotatoeJin]

The lyrics make it as plain as day that he is

[@Blast4slayer]

When watch i dont know the vocalist condition, i can feel the happy girl but i feel her alone in this mv and after know the truth now i understand why i feel her lonely RIP vocalist T-T

[@tiggerdcat]

@@Blast4slayer *sniff* You're not wrong, there! Happy, but alone, but most definitive loved. I got all that from the song and video. I didn't know the story behind the song when I first heard it, but it pulled me all kinds of directions emotionally. I have a medical condition that makes me cry super easily at anything slightly emotional (that one phone commercial where the granddaughter finally gets to call her grandparents...I sobbed, can't control it like normal people) so I thought I must be crying because of that, but later I found out the story about the singer and then found the lyrics. I know why I was crying now, this is sad and loving and happy all at the same time! So good! 😿😍😸🤪

[@superninja252]

it was it, he confirmed that this entire last single (the three songs) was made as letter for her daughter

I hope someday this song gets the recognition it deserves Rest in peace.

[@anticlickbait]

In 2016 after watching the anime I immediately opened KZbin to hear this masterpiece. The tunes, the tension building, the plot, the little girl playing. It was all beautifully made up. His voice saying "flyyyy out" was the thing that was touching my ears like an ASMR. Making me to be that kid playing. But... I wasn't unaware of his health at the time. I was repeating this song uncountable times. I'm so sad because I thought he was happily living with his family but the reality was other 😢 Today this was a random search and now I ended crying. Rest In Peace Kawashima-san. Thank you. Thanks Nakano-san too. For your music.

[@jordeeboy123]

This video makes his passing away so much more sad, but in a beautiful way. RIP Michiyuki

Watching this brought me to tears. I hope you're happy where ever your spirit may be Kawashima-san and I hope your wife Risa and your two daughters are doing well as well as your bandmate Nakano-san. I've been a fan of BBS for 13 years and I never grow tired of their music.

I revisited this song after i found it in my playlist from 5 years ago. I used to listen to this a lot when I was going through the most painful/depressing moments of my life and it helped me get through those times. The melody and lyrics would calm me down in those times. Only today did I find out that the singer of this song was also going through hard times. Rest in peace.

Back in 2022, I was on a BBS listening spree after I remembered one of their songs from the movie Starship Troopers Invasion. Coming across this one was especially hard because of the meaning it holds. It's one of the very few songs that gets me emotional while sounding amazing. Rest easy Kawashima and thank you Nakano ❤

For me, this anime and this song will enter the hall of heroes and will ALWAYS have a very special place in my soul and in my heart for all eternity. Legends like this song and this anime NEVER die! I have to shed a few tears EVERY time I think about how great it can be in this world and mine and what GREAT people there are who have created and could create a song and anime like this. THANK YOU for EVERYTHING! Thank you for this anime and for this song! There are so many MASTERWORKS that deserve an eternal place in the Hall of Heroes!

Man, why do awesome people almost hero like, always go first?... just noticed. the amount of soul poured into this one is immense as if it will be his last...

[@Michneko]

This song feels so nostalgic, even though I just heard it a few months ago, even then it felt really nostalgic.

[@ajs8738]

Oh wow am I late to the party.. or funeral I should say. I would come back to one of their songs every so often (what goes around comes around) and just recently began revisiting their other music, I had no idea the vocalist had died. I'm glad he was able to share all of this before going

[@mxx720]

The really amazing part is that Kawashima's health issues started before BBS ever recorded an album. He was fighting brain tumors since the 1990s. So the bright side is that it wasn't a career cut short - it was an entire career in SPITE of a terminal condition. That's why after he died, Nakano said it wasn't a tragedy; it was an achievement and a happy ending.

[@MUSQUIZanimation]

This music video is so beautiful if you look at it like a parent who has passed, but left the world for your daughter to explore and live on.

[@shara30000]

I'm a person who never says anything and doesn't get into the dramatically emotional moments, apart from being drunk. Whenever i feel doubt that there is something emotionally wrong with me, i always watch this video. Doesn't matter if i'm sober or drunk. Watching this and knowing the situation behind creating this, it always chills my spine. It's impossible for me to imagine, and i hope that (hopefully not) if i am ever in such a situation, i have the will to face it like this man has. What a trooper.

It was around 2-3 months or so since I first heard this song and I found everything about it so... Odd, like there was something more behind it. In a way, it makes me happy to know the story after looking into it today. Can't remember the last time I cried this much, though. This is such a pure yet bittersweet song. Mgh~

[@SirBuljo]

when i heard this. Ive watched many anime.. im not that enthusastic about songs. But this song.. it stood out. it made me go. "WHAT IS THIS?!" So many seen and watched but this song.. it told me. "You should know who made this." His daughters recieved the worlds greatest gift a song filled with so much love they will never forget him.

[@Meduxzsa]

Reminds me of days when I actually gave a shit about being here, alive. Makes me feel something again. Gave me a good cry.

Music really has the weirdest ability to resonate with people, and many songs can touch forgotten emotions and memories that make life special and wonderful. I’m sorry for whatever you’ve had to endure, and I’m extremely happy that you were able to feel something incredibly special with this song. Me too 🫶

[@kelvint2]

RIP Michiyuki Kawashima, thanks for all the great songs

[@crossastarte9339]

The camera beginning the video close to his daughter and eventually drawing away into the distance and taking a top-down view of her is probably how he sees his daughter. The camera is probably the proximity of the father to his daughter, and how he continues to watch over her, regardless of how far they're separated from each other. I think the woman at the end is an actor playing a grown-up version of his daughter (they hid the face intentionally), and his well wishes for her to grow up healthy, find a family to make her own, and to be happy even though he is gone. Every father wants to watch their kid grow up and reach their own heights but time is short for him, so he did it through this video. Anyway bye i'm going to go cry again.
