It’s a relaxed yet emotionally intense piece, perfectly suited as a Gundam ending theme.

Daisy (TV Anime Beyond the Boundary Ending Theme) - STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION – [Official Video]

DaisySTEREO DIVE FOUNDATION

The ending theme of the anime Beyond the Boundary.

It’s a gentle, laid-back song.

You can tell the vocalist is careful not to disrupt the mood.

I felt it’s beautiful yet somehow fragile and a bit lonely.

The anime itself is serious, and the song fits that atmosphere perfectly.

The chorus, in particular, is moving enough to make you cry.
