Well, who doesn’t know about this song anyway? But for everyone’s sake, this song’s the ending theme for the series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and was sung by Aya Hirano [Haruhi Suzumiya], Minori Chihara [Yuki Nagato] and Yuku Goto [Mikuru Asahina]. The ending theme was coupled with amazing choreography which became an icon in the Anime industry.
The song was also deviated in different versions, all of which were individually sung by other seiyuus in the series. The most popular aside from the original version, was Kyon’s, in which he expresses his side comments while singing [it made me laugh, really].
The song, along with the album, gathered a couple of awards since its launch. It reached number 5 in the Oricon Singles Charts [Japan's version of Billboard Magazine] and became 18th best-selling CD single in Japan in its first day. It also won the Radio Kansai Award in 2006 during the Animation Kobe Theme Song Awards.
Here’s the list of tracks from the album:
- Hare Hare Yukai
- Welcome UNKNOWN
- Hare Hare Yukai (Karaoke)
- Welcome UNKNOWN (Karaoke)
Well that’s about it. Again, to end this entry, here’s the original version of Hare Hare Yukai.

English Lyrics
If we can map out all of Earth’s mysteries,
We will be able to go to any place we want.
We spent our lives with anticipations and hopes,
But who is the one that grants them?
Until the end of time, Boooon!!
With a warp, this looping feeling
Swirls everything together and plays around with them.
On a particular sunny day,
A happiness greater than magic
Will pour down endlessly. It’s not impossible!
When we meet again tomorrow, we’ll laugh and hum a tune.
Let’s collect all the happiness,
It’s easy, there’s nothing to it.
Chase after them and try to catch them,
You love big dreams, right?
Anything is possible in the future where nothing is certain,
But I know that one thing is for sure.
Hanging above the thick clouds and shining brightly,
The stars will give me hope, I know it.
Let’s ride time, Byuuuuun!!
I’m at the cheap and cool age,
Please let me express my loneliness and shyness sometimes.
If we hold our hands together,
We’ll be invincible at our destination.
Nothing is impossible in these sparkling eyes.
Just look up and the tears will dry.
“I want to change!”
Shout from the bottom of your heart and it’ll be heard.
Break off running and leave the others behind.
Your heart is beating fast, right?
Boooon!!
With a warp, this looping feeling
Swirls everything together and plays around with them.
On a particular sunny day,
A happiness greater than magic
Will pour down endlessly. It’s not impossible!
When we meet again tomorrow, we’ll laugh and hum a tune.
Let’s collect all the happiness,
It’s easy, there’s nothing to it.
Chase after them and try to catch them,
You love big dreams, right?
