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...
