Light?

What is light? In physics class, light is electromagnetic radiation of various wavelengths and travels at a speed of about 300,000,000 m/sec. Light exhibits both wave and particle properties, which is unique. I t is defined in the dictionary as "something that makes thing visible or affords illumination."

Just recently, I have discovered a new side of light, but not in the scientific sense. I have discovered "Hikari," which means light in Japanese. This "light" is in the form of a song that is both lovely and sad. "Hikari" by Elisa serves as the ending theme to the anime Nabari no Ou, which seems like a normal ninja story on the surface. However, hidden (nabari means "hidden" in Japanese) beneath that story of fighting ninjas and secret techniques is an emotional story (my personal opinion) about people and their inner struggles; "Hikari" just brings out that hidden aspect of Nabari no Ou perfectly.

As a side note, I really like the hat that Yoite (the kid pictured in the video) always wears.
