Akane Sasu
“In a moment of weakness,
I reach out my hand
and a petal finds a moment’s rest
in this palm of mine”
Song: “Akane Sasu” by Aimer
I absolutely loved the ending song for season 5 of Natsume Yuujinchou. “Akane Sasu” by Aimer is definitely my favourite song of the series (with “Aishiteru” by Callin’ a close second), even though the matching video came a little bit late in the season. It’s powerful, melancholic, but has a strange sense of warmth as well. To me it was a perfect addition to the series but also a little different than the (still good,) songs used previously.
I’ve been wanting to draw a more polished fanart of Natsume for a while, especially with the excitement from seaon 6 coming out this spring. I thought the flower scene from the last episode and sunset theme from Akane Sasu would contrast nicely so I decided to combine them. There’s still things I’m not happy with but overall I think it worked well. ^^
Thank you for looking and have a wonderful weekend everyone!
