Agree with @ReverieMetherlence01. It's because of how Yui Horie's voice is naturally high pitched and cute while Ritsuko Okazaki manages to convey the underlying tone of melancholy that is in Fruits Basket with her marvelous voice. That's why I always cry when I listen to Ritsuko Okazaki's rendition of the opening theme song, and it's not just because of the beautiful lyrics either. That being said, this version really brings forth Tohru's kindness and purity only Yui Horie can achieve :)
This song makes me sad, I think about it when i am at school, I always think to myself."Why can't i be like the other kids...Why have i got tourettes and cannot go outside and play with all the others"
stuff like that :( But i'm always happy talking with teachers cause all the teachers are my friends.
@pencilpizza sadly no, Takaya-Sama got mad because the anime ruined her manga or something like that, so dont trust those who say that they need x signatures ^^ even though its still the best anime and manga i have ever seen...
@Beccapige Damn! I was (and still am until I saw this comment) hoping against hope that somehow, someday, there would be a second season of Fruits Basket. Can't say I blame Takaya-sama; I was like ehh when I first saw the anime's graphics. I still don't like it too much but the storyline makes up for it. And the anime cut out a few scenes which I was rather pissed about because I was looking forward to those scenes (can't remember which now). (cont)
@Beccapige (cont) And there wouldn't be any more Ritsuko Okazaki songs for the second season since she passed away a few years back (unless she'd recorded for a possible sequel back then or they used her other songs) which would suck since her voice really suits this anime. So yeah, while I'm still upset that there wouldn't be a second season, at least there are cons so I don't feel so bad about it.
P.S. Where did you see/hear about Takaya-sama being mad about the anime?
That's how the world rolls, unfortunately... I've picked a similar role model for myself, Colette from Tales of Symphonia, but I do realize that I cannot be exactly like her. I'll be happy enough if I can just pull off a quarter of her kindness x'DD It's such a shame, the world would be a much better place if there actually were pure people like her around...
this anime has changed my life. and it will never be the same. i try everyday to be like tohru, but i always get walked all over because they say im too nice xD
i love her she has such a good attitude on life no matter how hard things get not alot of people are like that. I mean theres alot of anime were the parents died and the all depressed and moody like ciel from black butler but she tries to make the best out of life :D i love her for that
ATTENTION ALL FRUITS BASKET FANS! IF YOU WANT FRUITS BASKET TO MAKE A SEASON 2, THEN GO ON GOOGLE AND TYPE IN "FRUITS BASKET PETITION SEASON 2" THEY NEED 100'000 SIGNATURES FOR THEM TO MAKE A SEASON 2!! COPY AND PASTE THIS TO EVERY SINGLE VIDEO FOR FRUITS BASKET TO CONTINUE!! so far we only got 22'500 signatures! COME ON FANS!!
I recently watched the entire seris of the show and I don't remember seeing any parts about tohru with her mom after the accident. If someone could tell me what that's from tht be helpful! Thnx
I like both versions, this one with tohru and the original by ritsuko. With tohru it sounds cute and adorable, with ritsuko sounds cute but also sad, it makes your tears come out. The feeling it's even more...deep than with tohru's voice. Well that's my opinion.
has anyone else noticed...that most japanese songs...ops....and stuff the women sound like little girls! I love that! I wish i culd sound that young when i sing! xD
I didnt know that tohru could sing!?!? she sounds really good. where did you get the music for the video? because im gonna try to make my first video with this song and i cant find the music for it :'(
I luv the harmony at 2:34 and i think its somewhere near or at the end. And I also love the way you put this video together i especially luv the ending picture :D
i was so happy when you smiled, your smiles break through the clouds of gray... seriously i love love love this song...legendary lyrics for a legendary song for a legendary anime!!! :') thumbs up if you agree

Kyo makes me happy....sometimes.tohru warms the room, kyo was wrong at the plump on her back she has a big plump on her back not a small one...is there fruits basket season 2?+momiji is so cute!!!!
whoops I pressed remove instead of reply, but you still didn't make sense to me, the girl who sings this (Yui Horie) DID voice Tohru in Fruits Basket...
A good part for when it says "...yesterdays scars still remain..." would be for when Kyo shows his true form and attacks her. or when she gets bit by Kisa-san. (im only on volume 6)

I hadn't heard this example before (only the standard one), thank's for posting it.
Yui Horie-Chan has been a vvoice actor of a great many anime series to date, she's also very similar in appearance to "Fumiko Orikasa".
If only the Anime had covered the whole Manga series timeline, it would have been even more of a delight to see for sure.
