Oh, I loved it. I watched it so many times when it first came out. I really want them to have the chance to be together, even if Eren probably doesn't deserve it.

The talented Ai Higuchi has once again been chosen to contribute her musical gifts to the world of "Attack on Titan." Set to air on November 5th, Higuchi will perform the ending theme for the episodes of the final season of this celebrated anime series. This time, she has penned an original song called "Goodbye," which was officially announced today.
Higuchi is no stranger to the "Attack on Titan" series, as this marks her second involvement in providing an ending theme. Her previous contribution was for "Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2," with the song "Akuma no ko," which was released in January 2022. Her latest single, "Goodbye," will also be available for streaming on the same day as the anime's episodes, adding another layer of anticipation for devoted fans.
The synergy between Higuchi's evocative melodies and the intense, emotionally charged storyline of "Attack on Titan" is a match made in heaven.

"Goodbye" serves as both a closing chapter and an enduring tribute, symbolizing the parting words to a series that has captivated audiences worldwide.
The union of Ai Higuchi's heartfelt composition with the final chapter of "Attack on Titan" encapsulates a farewell that is equally heartbreaking and triumphant. Mark your calendars for November 5th, as the world tunes in for the grand finale and a musical send-off that promises to leave an indelible impression.

Akuma no Ko - Evil Child (cover English lyrics)
Akuma no Ko - Evil Child
[Verse 1]
A hero is born
Out of ashes and fire
I sat on the throne - built on
The bullets and the bone
But I close my eyes and
Deep down inside I know
They don’t understand
That the devil has at last begun to show
[Verse 2]
Is that why you hate me
Did you let them tell you
So do you believe that we’ve been nothing but awry
A crime you don’t carry
Their words will always vary
Don’t let them deceive you
Don’t let them choose how you die
[Pre-Chorus]
Unfurl your broken wings
And let them soar up high
Forgetting that we never may return
But stranded in the sky
I will deny
This false peace
If I cease
To have a home
If I just live, then what’s the point of being born?
[Chorus]
Sadly I gaze at this cruel world
But here with you, I forget its freezing cold
Droplets of blood mix with morning dew
All that I did - know I did it all for you
Even if it’s right, I won’t rejoice
Even if it’s wrong, it is my choice
The only truth today
Is predator and prey
So do you hear the strength within my voice?
[Verse 3]
The footage of rainfall
Rolls over and over
The end credits All ignore
Because they are so small
Like names of the dead
In the movie called warfare
I don’t care
Why they bled, what kind of life they led
[Verse 4]
So what is this anger
This fury, this rancor
I cannot do much, yet can’t hide
Inside the spite in me
A human conundrum
Of feelings, don’t know why
I can’t block this humdrum
No matter how much I try
[Bridge]
The words are just a shell
That store our burning souls
If overthought the meaning grows too worn
Be heaven this or hell
What I can tell
Through my eyes
That one guise
I trust alone
If I just live, then what’s the point of being born?
[Chorus]
Sadly I gaze at this cruel world
But here with you, I forget its freezing cold
Droplets of blood mix with morning dew
All that I did - know I did it all for you
Shadows of the beasts I used to hate
Bodies of the men outside the gate
The only truth that stands
Is blood upon my hands
This evil that has bloomed within my heart
The only truth I feel
The one I can’t conceal
Is evil that has been there at the start
I.E. The “Rap” Song or the “Singable-NonSingable.” No, really. This is one beast of a song to sing, not only because it’s musically very complex (although lines 1-4 in the chorus aren’t my favorite, music-wise. For me, that intro kind of comes out of nowhere, but I’m not a musician, so I won’t question it), but also because of the tightly-packed lyrics. I tried my best, but there are still quite some tongue-twisters and hard-chewers (the biggest ones are line 6 in V1 and line 7 in the second chorus).
My first big tip for singing it is to go through it very slowly to familiarize with the non-trivial lyrics (that’s on me, but more on that in my post on the creative process). The second big tip is listening to the original lyrics. Most of my lyrics align with how the original ones are sung and are pretty intuitive. The tricky ones are as follows:
In the final line of V1, don’t stretch out “the” (the first instinct, at least when I sang it, was to stretch it out)
In V2, “believe that we’ve” is sung in a choppy fashion; it makes sense if you reference og lyrics. That’s because of the internal rhyme going on (again, creative process post).
Anyways, feel free to ask me if you want any clarification on how a certain lyric is sung! Happy singing!
