In today’s article, we will dissect the song of the digivolutions from the anime Digimon, the classic Brave Heart by Ayumi Miyazaki. Finally, you will understand all the feeling and emotion of each word that the song tries to convey.
This article is being written in conjunction with the site How to Learn Japanese by our friend Rafael. I wrote a second article dissecting the song ButterFly, the opening of Digimon sung by the late Kouji Wada. To access click here.
