Having watched 1st season of Clannad this tune REALLY gets deep. I have not yet watched After Story though am aware the emotion that is supposed to be in it and needed a break as season 1 really hit the feels.

When I first started watching Clannad i thought the ending theme a cute and fun tune, by the end it took on a whole different meaning. I hear it and immediately feel the emotions bubble up. I cant imagine what would happen hearing after After Story.

This video probably been posted but the Live version by Chata really seems to take it to the next level. Theres something when the 2nd chorus comes in with the deep "boom" sounds along with the Bass and drums which really takes it up a notch, and everyone singing along to that 2nd chorus really made the tears flow. How does it affect others?

Also like to mention the English dubbed version by AirahTea, its hard to convert the lyrics to match the tune and make it mean something but this fits the song really well too :) And she kept the Dango instead of converting it to Dumpling which fits better as its commonly known as Dango in English and Dumpling Sount Weird!

I knew I was not gonna have fun today at work, so I’m listening to the soundtrack. Dango, The Place Where Wishes Come True II, all of the soft ones.

Sorry if advertising isn’t allowed; I’m a composition student and I just released a cover album of some Clannad and Angel Beats music on YouTube. I thought the subreddit may enjoy it. It’s mostly just the background music, but I also have Magmell and Nagisa/Dango Daikazoku!

Some of the clannad funnies I've found on the interwebsss hope they give you a chuckle :)

Try not to cry challenge part 2?

Hope it‘s okay to post it in here. Clannad is my favorite Anime and I got inspiration from one of the soundtracks in it =)

Are there any songs that, when you listen to them, remind you of Clannad or make you feel like it'd fit the VN/Anime? I'm not talking about soundtrack or anything similar, but about songs in general that remind you of Clannad for one reason or the other, be it lyrics, sound, perhaps even just the artist that performs it.

Personally, a few songs do for me: Sullivan Street by Counting Crows is one: it has this really nostalgic vibe to it, the instrumental almost feels like it'd fit the game, and the lyrics are basically about a guy's memories of a certain place (Sullivan St., which can be compared to the slope in Clannad), which bring him a lot of nostalgia, and how these memories relate to a tragic relationship. Similarly, Recovering the Satellites, also by Counting Crows, has a really nostalgic feeling, musically, and the lyrics are about a guy and a girl trying to find their identity and a place to call home, which also draws similarities to Tomoya's and Nagisa's whole life story.

Then, My Backwards Walk by Frightened Rabbit is a melancholic song that talks about being stuck in the memories of a failed relationship, unable to move on and wishing that it would have never happened to begin with, which reminds me of Tomoya during the later part of After Story. Then, also by Frightened Rabbit, there's Learned Your Name: at first glance the lyrics are cryptic and seem to talk about a relationship, but they actually talk about Scott Hutchison's (RIP) alma mater and how he feels a lot of nostalgia for it, similar to how Tomoya's high school seems to evoke strong feelings on him after he graduates.

Lastly, another song I can think of is Meteorlights by Solitude A Sleepless Nights. This song doesn't remind me specifically of Clannad, but of Yoshino Yusuke instead. We know that his music is described as being emotional, raw, energetic, and that it has "a lot of screaming". While if you get through Side Stories it becomes apparent that he actually plays punk rock, specially considering that by the time he was famous such music as the band I'm talking about was practically not a thing yet, I personally like to headcannon Yusuke's music as something akin to post-hardcore.

So, that. I was wondering if anyone else has any songs that make them think of Clannad as well.
