The wings of my tears, yearning for a summer where happiness flutters about
Become scattering flower petals, headed for you
Whenever you hear the wind, I will be by your side
Protecting you as you live here and now is more important than an inconsolable sadness or loneliness
If we can be born again, let’s meet underneath the moonlight
I swear that when that time comes, we’ll laugh forever
A life where I love and am loved is budding and blooming
That view will never fade, a wish dances in my heart
For you, for you, for you and I to just be able to meet again
Until the sound of the pouring rain ceases, there will be no light
So the left and right wings throb painfully
As I go on believing in these quiet days
I don't want to forget about wanting to tell you that I love you
But not being able to, so that I can go on living tomorrow
if we meet again i wish that we're destined to be together
And walk together in this season that we longed for
In the pridefully distant sky, on a nameless wind
I sent to you uncolored flowers from the bottom of my heart
So that what’s important to them will not change from the present
For this reason people repeat their mistakes, though they know better
I will always love you
The World’s End of love in my heart…
No matter what, even on a lonely night
In the many times I’ve shed tears, there was scenery on the other side of the door
There's no end when everyone is waiting for me
The end of my world was, you see,
The beginning of your world
If I could convey that, would my voice reach you…?
Why is it that when we’re together,
Everything sparkles before my eyes…?
What should I sing about? I tremble without you…
Why can’t I paint it? Love and Love…
Always love you Waiting for you
Always love you Needed you
I believe your words, your plain words alone
What kind of colors are your dreams? I can’t be honest…
Hey, sadness, you know, swoops from the sky and takes you away from here just like that
Because you’re next to me when I awaken, I want to see you as soon as I clap, even if you come barefoot…
Hey, don’t leave my side, even though I’’ve come here with you like this up until now
Look, if we can become one just as we are, I wonder if a faint premonition is now passing us by…
you're the light, you're the night, your the colour of my life, you're the cure, you're everything i want to touch.
you mean so much... you're my voice when i'm speechless
you brace me when I'm scared
you hold my hand so i don't fall
you came when i miss you
only you can set my heart on fire
I'm a pieces of you... without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
If I’m going to be forgotten...
Right now, I’ll believe only in something concrete
I want you to love me with all of your heart
I remember you back then
Crying deep inside silently
I’ll sing in your memory
All the times you’ve spent with me is a precious memory
I believe, but in the corner of my mind
There is a shadow of uneasiness
Please, tell me that the warmth of your hand isn’t a lie
Call my name in a gentle voice, don’t leave me alone anymore
I’ve shouted out my wish and prayers
But my voice never reaches
Now even though I cannot see you
Your kindness melts into the sunshine
Happiness never ends, and it stays with me
There are so many things I didn’t notice and only realized when it was gone
I want to play on the bed and sleep in your arms
When I meet with you again
Say ’I’m home’, smile and pat my head
I’m still dreaming, in this little place,
Waiting for the day you’ll draw me close
Love
Isn’t something to cry sad tears for.
Though, just when the tears dry, I get a sensation
Even when I fall down, I love… Only you
I want you to take my hot feelings
And connect me to you wherever you go.
Please love all of me, even my uncute, tear-streaked face.
The overly simple you, and the overly selfish me
Sorry, I’ll become a good girl because…
I want to hear your voice when I’m in my bed.
In my head, you make a parade.
The never-sleeping sky is yawning
The rusting constellation is fragmenting
Spilling to make my heart a shooting star
I want you to accept my sunny kiss
I’m lonely, and eager for you to love all things about me.
These burning feelings won’t extinguish
Don't you dare let me go
So the moment when the fireworks vanish I can softy kiss you
I thought over and over again that it’s still okay
I’m sharing you with someone else
But I say I don’t want that and I’m crying over and over again
Even if it’s a lie, even if it’s a consolation, tell me I’m the only one
The anesthesia of the kiss wore off and now it hurts
Tell me I’m the only one who you love
There’s only one thing I want
It’s just that I desire all of you
Without fleeing from the world waiting ahead of this road
I want to try seeing where it leads to with my eyes
Even if I’m to get hurt beyond this
I absolutely can’t be stopped, since this is how I feel
Just do not close off your heart
Even though you were hurt
You held back your tears and endured it
Since I came
To see you clearly
You don’t have to tell me anything
I already know
That you always try hard
LONELY If you get lost
TRY AGAIN however many times
You can do it over
I’M HERE I’m beside you
BELIEVE ME It is a thing to
Believe each other without fearing
Underneath the stars
Shaded by the flowers
Kiss me in the summer day gloom, my love
You are all my pleasure, my hope and my song
I will be here dreaming in the past
Until you come
Until we close our eyes
I miss you
As dazzling as time captured in a painting
That’s how the present is….
Averting my eyes from the townscape that has begun to change
My memories are telling me
That I’m simply bewildered
Embrace your feelings as they are
I want to know your unchanging emotions
I want you, that’s why
We looked up at the sky that holds us in the palms of it’s hands
Time slips away…
Searching for you through the crowd I cling to
And i close my eyes
I can feel you even now
I believe that we can meet tomorrow
I miss you
Because I love you
There may not be an answer to this too,
why the sky is blue, is the change in me all true?
Now that you are next to me,
I have no fears and all I know is that I want to be with you
Sometimes it’s easy to forget the times we weep,
the moment makes us weak, and all the shame I see
Memories exist for all the precious days my heart still wants to keep,
somewhere deep inside of me
I’ve dreamed about you again
You were so real. I could heard your breathing
Sweet dream receives me.
Surrounds me and makes me fly.
However my happiness last just a moment
I’m awake again, and everything is the same
I can’t get used to be without you, I’m alone now.
Your hands don’t caress me any more
Your lips no longer kiss me.
Only you could understand my darkest moments.
Your words got me out of my black wells
I’ve dreamed about you again.
Your hands enclosed my waist
And suddenly, it comes, the Dark
You are not here. I’m alone. I’m scared
Sometimes when I wake up I try to think
That someday you will come back
My life has no longer meaning.
Only chaos all around me.
Am I who feels this way?
Or maybe the world has turned on myself…
I’m sleeping in sorrow
all alone to see you tomorrow

PERASAAN YANG MATI
Kata-kata yang setua lagu
Ucapan terakhir yang terpikir olehku
Ingatan yang memudar
Dengan kisah yang seiring waktu
Lambat laun mengubahmu
Membuat perbedaan
Mungkinkan suatu hari kita akan bertemu lagi?
Kubertanya, mungkinkah rasa ini masih tersirat?
Pikiranku penuh dengan memori
Kumeenung menatap langit
Aku mencoba menghindari masa lalu
Membuatku terdiam membisu
Memendam misteri
Meneteskan air mata dan dengan tangan tersayat
Darah yang mengalir seiring dengan air mata
Cinta itu tidak nyata
Cinta itu menyakitkan
Biarkanlah aku mati dengan perasaan yang mati karena melepaskanmu ke pelukan orang lain yang mencintaimu seperti aku mencintaimu
Puisi ini dibuat berdasarkan apa yang kurasakan, semoga lelaki itu menyadari betapa tersakitinya aku...

PAPER HEART
Girls, are cute
Girls, are unique
Girls, are susceptible
Girls, are gentle
Girls are complicated
Every girls have their own true
love
A tear of a girl means a lot
They are feelings manipulator,
When they sad, they fake smiling
When they frustrated, they keep
strong
When they hurted, they said “I’m
fine”
But, does every boy in this world
could understand girls feelings?
Do they?
If you’re a boy, could you
understand?
I’ll tell you something, when a
girl experience ‘broken heart’ their heart is just liked paper that once you crushed,
it never return back just like from the beginning
Only time who can fix a broken
heart
Well, that if you tried to move on
So, don’t ever try to make a girl
cry because broken heart
If that already happen, UNBREAK IT!
Because not all girls will forgive those who have hurt her.

Little Busters!
Little Busters! is a Japanese visual novel developed by Key. It was released on July 27, 2007 for Windows PCs and is rated for all ages. Little Busters! is Key's sixth game, along with other titles such as Kanon, Air, and Clannad. An adult version of the game titled Little Busters! Ecstasy was released on July 25, 2008 for Windows, unlike Kanon and Air, which were first released with adult content and then had later versions with such content removed. Ecstasy was later ported to thePlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 3. The story follows the life of Riki Naoe, a high school student who has been a member of a group of friends named the Little Busters since childhood. Riki brings multiple girls at his school into the Little Busters to have enough people to play a baseball game.
The gameplay in Little Busters! follows a branching plot line which offers pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the six female main characters by the player character, which increases to nine in Ecstasy. There are additional minigames added into the gameplay, such as battle sequences that resemble fighting games or baseball batting practice, which serve to give the characters experience, obtain accessories to use during battle, and improve their statistics. Both Little Busters! and Ecstasy ranked as the best-selling PC game sold in Japan for the time of their release, and Ecstasy would go on to sell over 100,000 units. Key went on to produce an adult spin-off called Kud Wafter in June 2010, which expanded on the scenario ofKudryavka Noumi, one of the heroines from Little Busters! and Ecstasy.
There have been 13 manga adaptations based on Little Busters! and Ecstasy published by ASCII Media Works, Kadokawa Shotenand Ichijinsha. Comic anthologies, light novels and art books were also published, as were several music albums. There have been two Internet radio shows hosted by the voice actors of Rin and Kyousuke Natsume and Kudryavka Noumi. A 26-episode animetelevision series adaptation, produced by J.C.Staff and directed by Yoshiki Yamakawa, aired between October 2012 and April 2013, and an additional original video animation (OVA) episode was released in December 2013. A 13-episode second season produced by the same staff titled Little Busters! Refrain aired between October and December 2013. An eight-episode OVA series titled Little Busters! EX is being released between January and July 2014.
Main characters
The player assumes the role of Riki Naoe, the protagonist of Little Busters!. He is seen as weak due to his girlish appearance and physical build but is very straightforward and has more common sense than most of his friends. He is a member of a group of friends called the Little Busters, which originally consisted of four members, but expanded to five with Riki during his childhood. The leader of the Little Busters is Kyousuke Natsume, who is the eldest member. He often comes up with absurd ideas, but almost always follows up with a reasonable explanation along with it.
Kyousuke's younger sister is Rin Natsume, the main heroine of Little Busters!, and is initially the only female member of the Little Busters. She does not communicate well with others due to her poor social skills and can be seen as inarticulate. Due to this, she is shy, and is usually seen alone. Rin loves cats and at school takes care of several strays. Riki's roommate and fellow member of the Little Busters is Masato Inohara who loves to work out and improve his muscle mass. He has a particular fondness for Riki, which he is more than willing to express out aloud. Masato's rival and fellow member of the Little Busters is Kengo Miyazawa who is skilled in the art of kendo and seemingly has a cynical personality, but his passion for the Little Busters is unmatched by any of the other members.
In Little Busters!, Riki meets five other girls attending his high school who later become members of the Little Busters, in addition to three more girls in Ecstasy; all eight are heroines in the game. The first is Komari Kamikita, a childish girl who takes great interest in fairy-tales, picture books, candy, and clothing with many layers of frills. She is very clumsy, though athletic, and will often not think before she acts. Haruka Saigusa is a schoolmate of Riki's from a different class, but always finds time to hang around in Riki's classroom. She incites uproars for her own personal enjoyment, which causes her twin sister, the public morals chairman Kanata Futaki, to chase after her. Kanata generally acts cold towards her sister, though gets annoyed when Riki gets close to Haruka. Kudryavka Noumi, known as "Kud" (クド Kudo) for short, is a girl who is one quarter Japanese, and three-quarters Russian. Despite having a poor handle on the English language, she was able to skip a year in school due to credits obtained through studying abroad, making her the youngest member of the Little Busters. Kudryavka appears in Key's eighth game, Kud Wafter, as the main heroine.
Yuiko Kurugaya is Riki's classmate who has a self-sufficient personality, and is sometimes seen carrying a replica of a katana called Muramasa. She is seen as an older sister to everyone despite being the same age of almost the entire cast, and is fond of things or people she considers to be cute. Mio Nishizono is a calm girl who is very diligent. Due to having weak health, she is always seen with a parasol when outside. She enjoys reading, especially when the story contains boys love elements, and her room is filled with books. Sasami Sasasegawa is the captain of the girl's softball team and is Rin's rival; while Rin loves cats, Sasami is a devoted dog lover. Saya Tokido, who only appeared in Ecstasy, is a popular girl at Riki's school, though she is known to be ditzy. At night, she wanders around the school to protect a "treasure" from those she calls the "darkness executives" and even has to fight them for it.
Story
Little Busters!' story revolves around the main protagonist Riki Naoe, a young male high school student. When Riki was a child, his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed. He was saved by a group—three boys and a girl, all his age—who referred to themselves as the Little Busters, a group dedicated to fighting evil and preserving justice. The leader of the group was Kyousuke Natsume who had a younger sister named Rin. The other two members were Masato Inohara and Kengo Miyazawa, who were friends despite being rivals. They took Riki out and played together with him during his time of need, making him the fifth Little Busters member. In time, Riki enjoyed playing with them, and his grief over his parents gradually faded away. When the story begins, Riki and his friends are seemingly in their second year of high school, except for Kyousuke who is in his third year. They still hang out together, and enjoy their school life.
The story opens on Sunday May 13, 2007, and the next day at school, Kyousuke decides that the Little Busters are going to play a baseball game, except they do not have enough members to have a complete team. Kyousuke gives Riki and Rin the task of going around school to find more members to join, preferably girls so as not to leave Rin the lone girl. Riki finds five girls his age willing to help him out: Komari Kamikita, Haruka Saigusa, Kudryavka Noumi, Yuiko Kurugaya, and Mio Nishizono; three other girls Riki meets are Kanata Futaki, Sasami Sasasegawa, and Saya Tokido. Throughout the game, Riki hangs out with these girls and learns more about them.
The story's main part takes place in what seems to be a normal high school, but in fact all took place in the school term previous to Little Busters!, and Riki and Rin are reliving it in an artificial world created by the other members of the Little Busters. They, and the other main characters, were involved in a bus accident during a field trip, and only the two of them will survive. Kyousuke and the others created the artificial world to make them strong enough to deal with what will happen when they awaken in the real world. This was caused by a ripple effect based on all of their desires to save Riki and Rin. The world loops, but though they forget what happens, Riki and Rin do grow stronger, and Kyousuke hopes that they will eventually be strong enough to leave the world. They do manage to survive and get away from the crash site before Riki collapses because he has narcolepsy. Riki vows to fight against his narcoleptic condition, which was the reason why he was only able to save Rin and merely get away from the explosion before collapsing.
Rejecting this turn of events, Rin travels back into the artificial world again (this time created by Riki and Rin) and helps Riki overcome his weakness. Afterwards, the two of them go back to waking up at the crash site. This time, Riki and Rin work together to save everyone at the crash scene. Kyousuke, who sneaked onto the bus (as a third year he was not allowed to go), managed to block the leak hole on the gas tank to delay the explosion, despite his injuries being far greater than anyone else. Everyone in the bus recovers from their injuries, although Kyousuke's recovery takes longer due to extensive injuries. Finally, after Kyousuke returns, he rents a minibus, and the members of the Little Busters set out for a trip to the ocean.

Everyone in the bus recovers from their injuries, although Kyousuke's recovery takes longer due to extensive injuries. Finally, after Kyousuke returns, he rents a minibus, and the members of the Little Busters set out for a trip to the ocean.

- Ibara Naruse (成瀬荊 Naruse Ibara)
- Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu
- The leader of the Coppelion Rescue unit who possesses super strength and enhanced athletic abilities. She is a very accurate shooter with guns. She is a kind person, as indicated by her ready desire to help people and her reckless usage of the panacea "Ether" in saving those affected by the radiation. Although she initially used to take nutrient injections in place of consuming food like Haruto, she tasted a rice cake and appreciated normal food, consuming normal food after that, again like Haruto. In episode 11 of the anime, it is hinted that there might be a relationship between her and Haruto.

- Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa
- A happy go lucky member of the Coppelion Rescue unit. Aoi is a good listener, willing to hear other's problems. She used to be bullied by the Ozu sisters back in school, leading to her intense fear of them. She possesses an escapist mindset, locking herself up in a storeroom of the planet in her belief that she impedes everyone else's work. She takes a liking to the robot Nosense, a guide to The Planet. She apparently possesses psychic abilities to the extent of levitation and force field production, but cannot finely control it. Under such conditions, her physical strength is increased but doesn't remember it.
