The band is ‘toe’ for anyone who wants to listen to more of their music. They’re pretty much the godfather of Japanese math rock.

I looked it up but couldn't find any vocal tracks

[@tragic_light]

@@MintTuesday yeah they’re a primarily instrumental band but they have some vocal tracks like “The Latest Number”

[@Aryan_Raj.]

@@MintTuesday After I came to know that Math Rock is actually a genre of music I went right away to Spotify to hear their official Math Rock playlist and I realised it's about instrumental brilliance more than anything here. So, yeah, you'll be missing the vocals if you wanna hop into this genre. But personally I like songs without vocals because that seems to soothe me when I need it with the absence of human voice that'd drill into my head otherwise. (If they sing in Math Rocks, they sing with a soft voice and that's another charming feature about it.)

[@lucasmarin4040]

​@@MintTuesday as @TragicLight said they're mainly instrumental but i can list you some of they tracks that have vocal tracks. First list are sung by the band's vocalist Yamazaki Hirokazu and from the second are guests: Yamazaki Hirokazu: - Song Silly - F.A.R - The Latest Number - Goodbye (New Sentimentality version) - Ordinary days (kind of vocals at the end) - Boyo (kind of vocals at the end) Guests: - Tsuki Kake - Goodbye (For long tomorrow version) - Commit ballad - Say it ain't so I've to say that i was more of a fan of their instrumental stuff, but i've learned to love both so i strongly encourage you to try their instrumental songs, they're kind of the essence of the band and you'll like them sooner rather than later :)

[@Japan_Champloo]

I'm with you on that. I remember seeing Toe's shows several times here in Japan over a decade ago. Their songs are really beautiful after all. I liked the scene where Nagara and Mizuho run together in the final episode and I felt like I was watching Downy's music video. The band Downy, formed in 2000, is considered as the founder of Japanese post rock. They're acquainted with Toe, BTW.

So Nagara, in the end, had two compasses, the one copied and the compass got from Asakaze. Just stop the video right when the Principal says that and you'll notice a blond girl standing in a hallway. That girl is the very same coworker who was watching Nagara while he was kicking the trash out of frustration.

Deep after watching that anime it made me realize a lot of shit such an uneasy ride

[@intranette3085]

accidentally found this gem of an anime cuz of the poster. it looks weird. they're in a school rooftop but the sky is completely devoid of any color. it's just black. so i watched the 1st episode and it was perfectly what i expected: the sky is literally black. what i didn't expect was them stranded on an island, middle schoolers trying to understand quantum physics and interdimensional traveling. so many information squeezed in 12 episodes that watching this anime felt like forever. it's almost as if i went adrift for 2000 years, more or less, with them. looking back at the poster, the sky's blue now. they're back. what a journey this has been.

[@aoi_nagara]

You know it is really unclear whether they went back or they created a new world where Nozomi isn't dead. I think they went to a possible reality where Nozomi isn't dead as Nagara is an observer and he again opened a box of realities as he did in the beginning which caused the drift.

[@pacoag99]

@@aoi_nagara it’s a different world than the one they are originally from. What I have doubt is that if Asakaze wanted, he could also have returned to earth (and since when)?

[@pochita6158]

After reading the director's commentary of each episode, I found that most of the world mechanics doesn't matter. Most of the feelings I felt on each episode is exactly what the director wanted

[@crossch3720]

@@pacoag99 Before handing Nagara the original Mizuho compass, Asakaze's talks about how Hateno Island sank and that Rajdhani became a forest already. This alludes to an earlier conversation while building the rocket, where Rajdhani himself predicted that after enough time passed, the accumulation of unbalancedness inside him would turn him into a form "like Nozomi". In other words, even though from the perspective of the viewer, Nagara and Mizuho only took a few minutes to fly to the intersection of worlds using their rocket, enough time has passed in the these worlds while they were gone for Rajdhani to 'die' and for Hateno Island to sink. Asakaze himself bore witness to these fact personally, which means he must have been subjected to the different flow of time inside the these worlds too. In the end, Asakaze has experienced so much time, probably thousands of years, that returning to the real world would actually kill him (since it's stated again and again that Nagara and Mizuho were only able to pull off their return trip because they spent a brief time in the these worlds, two years total, otherwise the rule of 'time spent in the this world can't be taken back' would have left them stranded like everybody else). TL:DR Old man Asakaze would most likely have turned to dust if he had tried to go with NagaMizu.

The usage of music in Sonny Boy is ingenious. The show is silent for the most part so that it feels more impactful when there is music. And in sad scenes, instead of using dramatic sad music, the show uses more laid back and calming music to highlight the themes of the show

[@gustavoduarte3507]

@@ElOmen22 But he's right though, it's really uncommon in anime to music be completely absent for the sake of atmosphere and aesthetic, and when it DOES kick in, it's one of the most memorable scenes in the show. I haven't seen yet other anime do what Sonny Boy does, and it tells a lot that the music complements the whole scene it's in so perfectly that i can't listen to this song in particular without sheding some tears just remembering that beautiful and melancholic chasing scene with Nagara and Mizuho

This song is like a warm blanket to me. It makes me feel something no song has ever done, like there's a person right next to me, radiating warmth and love, so much love. When I listen to this song, all I can hear is "Everything is going to be okay." In such an empathetic tone. It feels so human, each little sound. Thank you, Toe, for making such a special song. I like to have my playlists on shuffle, and this way when I hear this song, it's unexpected. During a stressful day full of work, I have a tradition: when this song randomly comes up, drop everything, and during these 4 minutes just let myself be swallowed by this comforting feeling. It helps me get through the day and gives me hope for the future. I love music, but I never thought a single song could have so much power. If you read a random stranger ranting about their love for a song, kudos to you, haha... I wish you a day full of warmth and love too.

[@qjnel12345]

I cannot get over this anime. I finished it and cannot articulate what I'm feeling at all. I basically got stunlocked by Sonny Boy and its been almost a week now. I'm glad that there are people still replying, means that people are still finding and watching the show, and that it means so much to them that they search out the ost! I've watched Sonny Boy a few more times since I originally commented and even once entirely in Japanese (I've been studying). Live like Nagara, embrace the world in its most boring days for this is all we got. Each day is a rung of a ladder towards your goals and dreams and if you drift away, you will stop progressing! Which is alright, it happens to everyone now and again, just make sure, one day, to get back on that ladder and keep climbing.

This is life, you can never go back to the past and you can never change the past but what you can do is move forward and change the future,just as Nagara or Nozomi said(I don't remember who said that).

I didn't understand every line when I first heard the song, but the opening "Let we aou" hit me. Hearing someone plead to you in two of your languages to see a person again - I don't think you can understand how it feels until you speak two languages. So on that note, indulge me as I give two notes from the translator (me!): The opening line, to me, is so beautiful if you understand both Japanese and English. The first words: "Mou fureta" is like the mental image of two hands' fingers touching. "Let we aou" - Let we is using English's subjects to plead, while aou is a statement - 'should meet.' The Japanese wordplay is so fun. Ou (追う) = to chase, Oou = to hide, Ou (負う) = to carry. E = image, Te = hand, and it looks like the use the onyomi for shadow (影) which is Ei. Three "o" sounds and three "e" sounds.

It happens to me also. So many months have been pass since the show ended and in retrospective, i just improved so much because finally i just accepted my past and start to moving forward. This show and Megalo Box 2, was what i need in those Hard times. I hope you are doing great and remember "Our lives are just beginning" :)

作中流れ出した時は何とも言えない気持ちだった toeの作り出す世界観がこの作品に見事にマッチしてる

[@goddamnweslidin]

Modern classic right here. Tracks already timeless

[@onur6145]

Sonny Boy is an already cult anime. More people will appreciate it in time.

[@peytonokubo5726]

A film student in my class used this in one of his projects last year and I've been looking for it ever since. Love this :)

[@malachiblood13]

They played this in the season finally 🙌

[@Onyxhuss]

Easily the best insert song of the 2021. ULTRA BANGER!!!

[@alonespirit_1Q84]

J-Post/Math-Rock is one of the perfect choices for this series. Sonny Boy, you're a gem. I so wished that they could had also added Toe's "Goodbye" or "Song Silly" and a little of bit of Hyakkei..

[@SmashedTomatoes]

Did... Did this scene single-handedly bump the show up to a 9 for anyone else?

[@Surdjak]

Was already a 9 for me, bumped it to 10 ! The show wasn't perfect by any means but all the different feelings it gave me make it one of my favorite ever, i'm glad I didn't slept on this one !

[@taylorgoff235]

There’s no doubt in my mind that it was a perfect 10. And I don’t say that often!

[@blizardwizard]

I have been listening to this on loop for like 3 days help me

[@Adam-ev5ft]

its really weird but this anime gave me a new sense of self appreciation

[@daytripperarrabal]

A true experience watching this, in these times and context. At least, aots, what a jewel!! Also, the entire sequence seems literally composed by Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood, what a ride! On the other hand, everyone talking about escaping the Drift but nobody mentions how RajdhaniGod traveled for 2000 years, watched how Death was created and became a forest to live with the animals forever😭😭😭😭😭

[@aoi_nagara]

Rajdhani really was a good guy. I will miss him.

[@RWZiggy]

My 2nd favorite character after Mizuho! Also nobody mentions those times Mizuho blushes around Rajdhani, best one was when he said he developed "scoop scope" technique that let him look at something and get the romantic scoop. He turns toward Mizuho in the truck and she blushes and hides behind her cat, lolz! Guess she had a thing for him. Maybe in the real world she'll look up the original Rajdhani.

サニーボーイを見た後、 長い長い青春を過ごした感じがした。 ほんとに唯一無二だよ。

[@geraldinedamianvasquez]

terror in resonance and sonny boy have inde like music which is magical in the emotions they both try to portray 😭😭😭

[@imelxr]

This show might be the greatest one I've ever watched.

[@georgethemonkeydrummer5598]

Anyone had similar experiences with this anime and it’s OST with another anime named “terror in resonance”? I feel like both shows are similar in the fact that their ost + certain animated sequences define an anime as a whole

[@aditxd1]

while both show have vastly different composer (sonny boy doesn't have main composer. the indie artist work directly with the director and music advisor and terror in ressonance are composed by yokko kanno. one of the greatest japanese music composer off all time) both have same sinichiro watanabe working directly in the project. sinichirou watanabe work as director in terror in ressonance and he's been working with yokko kanno quite a few times (cowboy bebop, kids on the slope, and terror in ressonance). and shinicirou watanabe also work on sonny boy, not directly tho. he work as music advisor

[@bb-vy7rd]

Indeed was such a beautiful ep

[@PikSmores]

I watched all of Sonny Boy in one night and after hearing this I think this is now my favorite song. The feeling it emits in contrast to the show is just indescribable, I'd love to watch it again for the first time

[@ElSombrio93]

Gracias Madhouse por este anime, estuviste desaparecido los últimos dos años pero regresaste y lo hiciste a lo grande, este anime simplemente me parece perfecto. Sin miedo puedo decir que este anime es una Obra Maestra y una vez más Madhouse se reafirma como mi estudio de anime favorito,otra obra maestra que queda añadida al catálogo de animes de Madhouse.

[@lozart3313]

We all know we are here listening to this song over and over again because Sonny boy made us feel something special and scary inside all at the same time. Even tho we can’t truly put it into one defined phase we all know the feeling is as real as this this world can be.

[@kal1589]

one of the most relaxing osts

[@hanzo2979]

toeが流れた瞬間、終わるのが悲し過ぎて一時停止してしばらく観られなくなりました。1ヶ月以上経ってようやく見終われました。 abura debura…一瞬だけですが、聞けて良かったです。

[@yenmeng]

The OST added so much to the feeling of melancholy in that last episode, toe knocked it out of the park with this one

[@divinedoe7]

Best anime of 2021 imo

[@gibranalvarado1269]

You just had to be there. Episode after episode of crazy and confusion. But we all still tuned in the following week. Then there was pain and grief and nastolgia for the characters we grew so fond of. While sitting on the edge of my seat, this song starts to play and I knew no anime would ever satisfy me again.

[@Shvkour]

It's not meant to be understood, but experienced

Saying that this anime was unique is an understatement...

Leaving my digital footprint here because this was my favourite anime last year along with Mushouku Tensei and To Your Eternity. It's been a long time since I have had this anxiety/empty heart (or whatever its called) after finishing something. I fucking love this anime.

Same

[@cheesepienoyes4648]

I’ve changed a lot since I last thought about Sonny Boy. My personality is almost completely different, and so I completely forgot about this anime. I randomly came across this song, and remembered the amazing experience that was Sonny Boy. Memories filled my head as I took a nice 3 minute and 57 second long thought about Sonny Boy, myself now, and myself way back then.

[@renzosanchez4732]

I could say the same. Since i watched Sonny Boy, i change my perspective of life. Of course, wasn't something magic but this show helped my trought a Hard time. The final phrase of Nagara always gonna be with me. Because, life is Long and there are so many oportunities, after all our lifes are just beginning

So happy to see toe's music as an actual OST always felt they'd fit the vibe whenever I listen their music.
