The end of the world sure looks bittersweet in this newest CP for Fragile: Goodbye Ruins of the Moon.  As I was watching the video, it dawned on me that I recognized the singer of the cripplingly sad song–it is Teshima Aoi. 

The song which made me first know about Teshima was Teru no Uta (テルーの唄), or Therru’s Song from Studio Ghibli’s animated film Gedo Senki (Tales from Earthsea).  Here is the song that made my Japanese teacher cry when he heard it on the radio while driving to work, along with some scenes from Gedo Senki.  Brace yourself. 

Real men cry too… Real men cry too… 

Teshima Aoi performed live at Bandai-Namco’s Fragile booth on the last day of Tokyo Game Show 2008.  So far she sings two songs for the game, the opening theme entitled Light (光), and the ending theme entitled Moon’s Warmth (月のぬくもり).  I am not sure which song appears on the video, but I am guessing it is Light.  You can check out Teshima’s main website here.

This video is the longest yet when it comes to Fragile.  It appears some force tries to come between Seto and Ren being together.  I think there were about 3 scenes where they were seperated by a fence or something…

I was glad the video showed some of the support characters and even gave them a chance to talk!  I think Psy (the floating girl) may be my favorite character.  I love her character design and the way she talks.  I wish I had a ghost friend!
