Last regrets

Last regrets is the opening song of the Kanon visual novel. The short version is also used as an insert song in 2002 anime adaptation and the opening scene for the 2006 anime adaptation. The song is released in several versions in several singles and albums.

The song is featured in their indie album "regret", which was released on December 24, 1999 along with Ayana's original version. An instrumental acoustic version of Last regrets also played during the eighteenth episode.

There is a hidden track of a male vocal version of "Last regrets" sung by Kazuya Takase of I've Sound after the last track of the Last regrets/Place of wind which arrives album.

Lyrics
Kanji= ありがとう 言わないよ ずっとしまっておく さよならは翳りない 夢のあと静かに降り立つ

両手には降り注ぐかけらを いつまでもいつまでも抱いて 最後まで笑ってる強さを もう知っていた

おはよう　目覚めは 眩しくて悲しい さよなら　許せない 僕たちの弱さがよかった

ふたりにはありふれた優しさ 花のように恋のように移ろう 低い雲　風を待つ静けさ もう聞こえない

両手には降り注ぐかけらを いつまでもいつまでも抱いて 最後まで笑ってる強さを もう知っていた Rōmaji= Arigatō iwanaiyo zutto shimatte oku

sayonara wa kagerinai yume no ato shizuka ni oritatsu

ryōteni wa furisosogu kakera wo itsumademo itsumademo daite

saigo made waratteru tsuyosa wo mō shitteita

ohayō mezame wa mabushikute kanashii

sayonara yurusenai bokutachi no yowasa ga yokatta

futari ni wa arifureta yasashisa hana no yōni koi no yōni utsurou

hikui kumo kaze wo matsu shizukesa mō kikoenai

ryōteni wa furisosogu kakera wo itsumademo itsumademo daite

saigo made waratteru tsuyosa wo mō shitteita

mō nakanai mō nakanai nakanai...

English= I won't say thank you I'll keep it to myself forever

Words of farewell will drop Silently after a crystal clear dream

Holding flakes rained from the sky in my hands I embrace them forever and ever

I already knew The strength of smiling until the end

Good morning Waking is dazzlingly sad

I'm glad that our weakness Wouldn't let us say goodbye

Like love, this routine kindness between us Blooms like a flower

The low clouds, the silence waiting for the wind I can no longer hear them

Always, always embracing The fragments that rained into my hands

I already had the strength To keep smiling to the end

I won't cry anymore I won't cry anymore I won't cry...
