Nearly 20 years ago, I had a crush on a punk rock girl. She was the coolest person I had ever met. She had a near-encyclopedic knowledge of music that was staggering. Not only that, but she dyed her [...]

I recently decided to rewatch an old favourite of mine: Honey and Clover. I first watched the show back in 2011, a whopping nine years ago, and, mainly because of my tendency to keep looking forward [...]

Exuberant hijinks and melancholic narration meet in Honey & Clover, a sentimental show about art students, inspiration, and love. Its calm moments are poignant; its loud attempts at humor obnoxious [...]

I wonder why on T.V. or in magazines, love seems fun and colored with happiness. But why is my love so sad and despicable? There is an honest, slow, and […]

Honey and Clover is a show I oftentimes find myself revisiting once or twice a year. If you couldn’t tell from my series of banners, I’m a huge fan of the series; it’s one of few which I’d say completely encompasses the bittersweet feelings of longing and unfulfillment which we oftentimes find burning within us.

Well, well, at last I can post something from Hachimitsu to Clover a.k.a Honey and Clover from anime version. This anime and manga series had special place in my heart as it always reminded me to my college days,.. pretty much.. with all the insanity of Art and Design faculty students :D The music is sweet and calm. Listening to the score, I personally would feel like a music score when the character was thinking while walking on the street. I think, the music had a slight taste of sadness, which is located on part B'. So far, I find the music is playable for beginners. If you haven't study higher octave notes, then, just ask your mentor how to do it. Beginners-Intermediate players to Expert should already know how to handle the music. Pianist surely gets all the benefits since the music use piano. However, keyboardist can take over. In my personal opinion, this music is also nice to be played with guitar. Definitely will have a different taste if you try for brass section, such as trumpet or trombone, but I think it's worth to try.

 [source] Honey and Clover fans would be familiar with the ubiquitous Ferris Wheel and weathervane symbols from the anime adaptation, but there are several less explicit symbols that aren’t telegraphed in the OP/ED videos. I noticed while reading the manga that the sweet osmanthus–apparently a common flower in East Asia–features prominently in Yamada’s narration. (The flower’s [...]
