Why do Japenese children use christian crosses to bury their dead?

How do we summon Hiroyuki to play Butter-Fly on /a/ as a background music for a day?
I was just re-watching the series.
>>139793199
Now Tri will never be the same.
RIP sweet prince
>>139793318
After a dream that never will end, in a world made up of nothingness
It almost seems as if, that all of our beloved dreams are about to lose and...
Even with unrealiable wings, covered in images that tend to stay
I am sure we can fly, on my love

Never noticed how these songs can have such a sad tone.Hold me /a/.;_;
I'm glad our local dub kept the original Japanese soundtrack and opening/ending themes.

I pity america for not having this.
What I am about to tell you will break your hearts

>>139796575
>Paul Gordon
Who?
>>139796423
I'm actually glad they didn't here.
The OP here was stupid, but the madmen actually kept butter-fly at the last scene of adventure, when they are on the bus with Mimi's hat flying.
It's such an iconic memory to me that I actually think it's better that way.
“I’ll become a happy butterfly, and ride on the glittering wind
I’ll come to see you soon"
“If we take our time, and we stick together, everything we do,
will go our way. And if we try, now and forever, no matter what comes next,
we’ll be okay.”
>>139792660
Cross is pretty universal, maybe they thought Western kids would understand easier?
>>139796596
One of the American composers/ performers for the series.
Most notably he performed this song and "Hey Digimon"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xDFWYt_pbY
Shit, I forgot about this song despite watching it hundreds of times when I was a wee lad. Rest in peace you magnificent bastard.
>>139796873
Nice song.
>>139794626
Ah fuck, listening to this after the upbeat version is making me real sad as shit. I didn't need this tot start my day damnit.

wait what he was recovering from cancer HE WAS RECOVERING THEY FUCKING LIED
>>139797561
I'm so sad right now, I didn't even know of his passing either. Today is a hard day for the digidestined.
>>139797585
He just wanted you to be happy.
what the fuck
>>139798123
neither us can, anon
>>139798586
not edgy or anything, but you're edgy
>>139798586
Here we go.
It's the same thing with Iwata. It doesn't have to be your fucking relative to care, it's the fact people care for what this man has done for their childhoods, including this guy here as well. I'm not as effected sadly because I didn't really even know him period until just now, but others care and I understand how they feel. Iwata, although I didn't know him much either, I known him just from the Nintendo Directs and know he was the one behind great things like Pokemon, Earthbound, and mostly, Smash Bros. So I can have a bit of feels when I heard of his passing, and why I get people here on how they feel as well.
>not edgy or anything
>why do you faggots give a fuck about this
Because caring is better than complaining about others doing so. That's more humane than what you're doing. You wouldn't like it if you had someone you cared for get shit on like your doing. Learn to be a better person.
>I want to become a cheerful butterfly

>>139799075
I'm playing this on repeat tonight. What should I drink?
>>139797585
I'm thinking he had complications afterward. My friend's mother recovered and then it came back twice as aggressively and took her. Might be what happened to him. Cancer is brutal.
>>139798586
Why the fuck would we care about what the fuck you thought is? You are just fucking one person on the fucking different side of fucking globe.

Fuck, I loved Butterfly and Biggest Dreamer. Would watch Digimon on local cable just to listen to those songs. And to think this happened just as it seemed he had recovered from his cancer. I guess listening to those two songs wouldn't be the same ever again.
Also, this should be stickied. And did his death trend in Japan? I'm not seeing his name or anything Digimon related in the list of trends in Japan.

Why would it? Nobody really gives a shit about Digimon over there, at least not to any meaningful degree.
>>139799604
Trends only track hashtags, right? Most people probably aren't making a point to use those
>>139799604
I know Ichiro Mizuki made a mention of it on his twitter.
>>139800157
Butterfly is one of the most iconic anime theme songs of all time.
>>139800450
Not always. I remember when Miyu died her name was trending, with no hashtag.

>>139792615
Holy shit this is the last thing I wanted to happen. I am heavily back into Digimon with the reboot and I love every song he's done for the series. I am too steeped in nostalgia to handle these feels.
I'm about to cry bros. At least he managed to create amazing news versions for Tri.
Sleep well in the the Digital World, Wada-san. Thanks for my childhood.
>>139801574
>Digimon Tri 3 end roll
>special thanks: Wada Kouji
I wake up and decide to check /a/ while eating breakfast and now my food is all wet with tears

Are you me?
>tfw persistent raspy cough and constantly clearing phlegm from throat
>probably lung cancer and i don't even smoke
>>139798586
I live on the same side of the world as him and pretty much everyone here is devastated.
He was a big part of everyone's childhood and of us weebs in general.
I know you're baiting but you're just a random dude on the other side of the world who won't inspire as many lives as mr. Wada did.
Keep up with your edge and probably your friends and relatives would think of you as just a random dude when you leave this world
>>139801176
Could you do one for Biggest Dreamer?
>>139792615
you all shit pretending lifes matter when yourself waste your own
kill yourself thanks
>>139802137What country anon?
>>139802101
I have a bad polyp on my vocal chords but its not cancerous. Does make my voice super fucked up though and I can't talk for more than an hour straight before it gives out completely. I also wake up a lot with coughing fits.
Doesn't help that I'm a girl so I always sound like I have a bad smoker voice. Since its not life threatening it would cost a lot of money to fix it.
Well, I guess my dream of him singing a duel OP with Rica Matsumoto is gone.
2016 sucks ass.
/a/ sings in two days?
If we do it now, we'll start crying while singing

Didn't that only ever play once?
>>139803958

There's even an official Tri instrumental for Butterfly. ;_;

Digimon is unimportant and the American dub OP is superior.

You are right faggot. He JUST was only related to full 4chan right? There was no reason to get a sticky, right?
He loved /a/ the most and created it in the beginning to talk about anime and manga when /a/ and /b/ where one so shut your fucking mouth you newfag.
But you are right in the part that Kouji Wada must get a sticky.

Calm down. Whatever you say, moot is still not anime/manga related, unlike anime girls armpits and feet.
