To celebrate Haruka Yoshimura's birthday on Valentines' Sunday (February 14, 2016), I'm back for the second part of the Yui Nanase Effect, a blog post tribute to the youngest Pretty Cure helper from the Blue Planet and my best one right now from the Pretty Cure Series anime franchise. Before starting the second part, here's a quote from Yui Nanase's seiyuu regarding the recent Go! Princess Pretty Cure finale:

"Even it is the place where we want to stay forever, we have to depart from there for our own step up. I want to go ahead with gratitude feelings than loneliness." (Haruka Yoshimura's Ameblo)

Without further ado, I am going to post some more screenshots featuring Yui-Yui, this time from episode 29 till The Grand Royal & Majestic Finale of GPPC... Here I go!

When you feel the sunlight

Fade into the cold night

Don't know where to turn

Don't know where to turn

And all the dreams you're dreaming

Seem to lose their meaning

Let me in your world

Baby, let me in your world

All you need is someone you can hold

Don't be sad, you're not alone

I will be here for you

Somewhere in the night

Somewhere in the night

I'll shine a light for you

Somewhere in the night

I'll be standing by

I will be here for you

In this world of strangers

Of cold, unfriendly faces

There's someone you can trust

Oh, there's someone you can trust

I will be your shelter

I'll give you my shoulder

Just reach out for my love

Reach out for my love 

Call my name

And my heart will hear

I will be there, there's nothing to fear... Oh no

I will be here for you

Somewhere in the night

Somewhere in the night

I'll shine a light for you

Somewhere in the night
And I'll be standing by

I will be here for you...

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea

I'll sail the world to find you

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see

I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we made off

When we are call to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there

And I know when I need it

I can count on you like four, three, two, you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, wooooh

Yeah, yeah

If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep

I'll sing a song beside you

And if you ever forget how much you really need to me

Everyday I will remind you

Find out what we made off

When we are call to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there

And I know when I need it

I can count on you like four, three, two, you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, wooooh

Yeah, yeah

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry

I'll never let go, never say goodbye

You know...

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there

And I know when I need it

I can count on you like four, three, two, you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, wooooh

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you

I don't wanna let a minute get away

'Cause we got no time to lose

None of us are promised to see tomorrow

And what we are do is ours to choose

Forget about the sunrise

Fight the sleep in your eyes

I don't wanna miss a second with you

Let's stay this way forever

It's only getting better if we wanted to

You know that I wish that this night would never be over

There's plenty time of sleep when we die

So let's just stay awake until we grow older

If I had my way we'd never close our eyes...
Our eyes, never

It's so hard to think this could fade away

What goes up must come down

Why can we just live life with no consequence?

And always live in the now

Forget about the sunrise

Fight the sleep in your eyes

I don't wanna miss a second with you

Let's stay this way forever

It's only getting better if we wanted to

You know that I wish that this night would never be over

There's plenty time of sleep when we die

So let's just stay awake until we grow older

If I had my way we'd never close our eyes...
Our eyes, never

Namida iro no ame ga furu 

Watashi no kokoro ni sotto

Niji wo kakete kureta kimi marude taiyou mitai

Demo chikagoro kimi no egao ga

Kumorigachi ni naru no wa naze

Kotoba ni dekinai omoi wo kiakesete

Kimi ga nemurenai yoru ni wa

Yasashiku kirameku tsuki ni naritai

Mayoikonda jikan terashite inoru yo

Ai to iu hikari sagashite

Itoshisa no shizuku setsunaku meguru

Yozora no kanata de

Seconds, hours, so many days

You know what you want

But how can you wait?

Every moment lasts forever

When you feel you've lost your way

And what if my chances are already gone?

I started believing that I could be wrong

But you give me one good reason

To fight and never walk away

So here I am, still holding on

With every step climb another mountain

Every breath it's harder to believe

You'll make it through the pain

Weather the hurricanes

To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere

Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams

Then take it by the hand 

And show you that you can

There are no boundaries...

There are no boundaries...

I fought to the limit to stand on the edge

What if today is as good as it gets?

Don't know what the future's heading

But nothing's gonna bring me down

"I won't let you take these children's dreams!"

I've jumped every bridge

And I've heard every lie

I've risked being safe

"I won't let you have your way!"

But I always knew why

I always knew why...

So here I am, still holding on!

"I don't need dreams... Who cares about storybooks?"

With every step climb another mountain

Every breath it's harder to believe

You'll make it through the pain

Weather the hurricanes

To get to that one thing

"Yui-chan!! Yui-chan!! Yui-chan!!!!!"

"Everyone... That's right."

Just when you think the road is going nowhere

Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams

Then take it by the hand 

And show you that you can...

"What I want to draw... Only I can draw it!"

You can go higher

You can go deeper

 There are no boundaries

Above and beneath you

Break every rule

'Cause there's nothing between you and your dreams...

"Strongly, gently and beautifully... The way of the Pretty Cures!"

With every step climb another mountain

Every breath it's harder to believe

You'll make it through the pain

Weather the hurricanes

To get to that one thing

"I have to get out of here... I will get out of here! I have to draw it!!!"

Just when you think the road is going nowhere

Just when you've almost gave up everything

Then take it by the hand 

And show you that you can

"I want to draw a story only I can draw. The power of dreams... The importance of protecting those dreams... I want to express those feelings..."

There are no boundaries...

There are no boundaries... Whoa, oh...

"Even for a little bit, I hope the shining power of dreams can reach even more people."

There are no boundaries...

There are no boundaries... Oh...

There are no boundaries...

I can live, I can love

I can reach the heavens above

I can right what is wrong

I can sing just every song

I can dance, I can fly

And touch the rainbow in the sky

I can be your good friend

I can love you until the end

What took you so long to make me see

How lucky I am cause I am free

Free to do the things I wanna do

What took you so long to make me feel

I can give love, a love so real

What took you so long to let me know

That I can live, I can love

I can reach the heavens above

I can right what is wrong

I can sing just every song

I can dance, I can fly

And touch the rainbow in the sky

I can be your good friend

I can love you until the end

What took you so long to make me cry

So I'll know the reasons why

I'm so lucky I could smile

I didn't know this for a while

I can live, I can love

I can reach the heavens above

I can right what is wrong

I can sing just every song

I can dance, I can fly

And touch the rainbow in the sky

I can be your good friend

I can love you...

I can live, I can love

I can reach the heavens above

I can right what is wrong

I can sing just every song

I can dance, I can fly

And touch the rainbow in the sky

I can be your good friend

I can love you until the end

Yeah... Woohoo...

I can dance, I can fly

And touch the rainbow in the sky

I can be your good friend

I can love you until the end...

I can love you until the end... Love...

Tonight!

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight

There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one that I tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold

But you sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars

Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again

When it feels like my dreams are so far

Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over and over again

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope

I give you my destiny

I'm giving you all of me

I want your symphony

Singing in all that I am

At the top of my lungs

I'm giving it back...

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope...

Parang kailan lang

Ang mga awitin ko'y kay hirap abutin

Dahil sa inyo

Napunta ako sa aking nais marating

Nais ko kayong pasalamatan

Kahit man lang isang awitin

Parang kailan lang

Halos ako ay magpalimos sa lansangan

Dahil sa inyo

Ang aking tiyan at bulsa'y nagkalaman

Kaya't itong awiting aking inaawit

Nais ko'y kayo ang handugan

Tatanda at lilipas din ako

Ngunit mayroong awiting

Iiwanan sa inyong alaala

Dahil minsan tayo'y nagkasama

Parang kailan lang

Ang mga awitin ko ay ayaw pakinggan

Dahil sa inyo

Narinig ang isip ko at naintindihan

Dahil dito'y ibig ko kayong

Ituring na matalik kong kaibigan

"One for all... AND ALL FOR ONE!"

(Princess Cures, Yui-Yui, Puff and Aroma)

Tatanda at lilipas din ako

Ngunit mayroong awiting

Iiwanan sa inyong alaala

Dahil minsan tayo'y nagkasama...

Tatanda at lilipas din ako

Ngunit mayroong awiting

Iiwanan sa inyong alaala

Dahil minsan tayo'y nagkasama...
