This entry is part of the 12 Moments in Anime 2009.
Though some people are doing “12 Moments in Anime (that came out this year)” or something, I’m just dealing with stuff I watched this year, and sadly, I’m just now getting to Fruits Basket. I’d seen the first couple of episodes a few times in college but not enough to get into the swing of things until now.
#10 is the Fruits Basket (wiki) hot springs song, officially titled “Teru Teru Momiji”. It’s from episode 12. I’m including the clip from the episode here (it’s sung in Japanese with French[?] subtitles) and the English translation below.
Romanji
yuuhi no o-yama ni
teru teru momiji
kaeru ya tokage ga
konnichi wa
koi no arai mo
kazunoko umani
yuuhi no o-yama ni
teru teru momiji
kaeru ya tokage ga
konnichi wa

English translation
In the mountains at sunset
Momiji shines
Hello to the frogs,
lizards and everyone.
We’re like koi
and herring roe in sugar sauce.
In the mountains at sunset
Momiji shines
Hello to the frogs,
lizards and everyone.
