Finding magic in the ordinary, the precious frailty of bonds, the worth of humanity, gently conveying the beauty and majesty of nature, that all of it is precious and must be protected, a reminder that none of it should be taken for granted.

KOKIA's songs feel like she's seeing what others don't seem to or maybe have forgotten, words and images of kindness and hope, and she's trying to convey all of it. Like she's saying, "All of this is our world, why can't you see that?"

I had this revelation while I was listening to one of my favorite songs of her. Ningen tte sonna mono ne. The way humans are.

It really does feel like this song embodies all of Natsume Yuujinchou. I would like to ask you to listen to it with the series in mind and tell me what you think.

Some choice lyrics under the cut.
