THIS WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL GIFT THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!! We could tell so much effort went into this! It's incredible thank you!!!!

Thank you everyone so much for putting so much effort into this ;o; ♥ We love youuuu guys so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The taiga part was so emotional...

"The song that started it all" I'm sure a lot know why this is the title, and maybe for those seeing this after the premiere, they'll realize the title has changed, but the meaning and the message of that phrase won't be any different. I hope you enjoy this passion project we made!

2:35 this feeling like a fanchant concerts and I have goosebumps of it

Goodbye Pomu. Thank you for paving the way for NijiEN. Good luck on your next journey. We love you.

*"The song that started it all"* Why you gotta make us emotional like that 😭 2:33 Beautiful, wouldn't expect less xD We looOoOove Lazulight!!

The clap at 2:43 sounds so solid

Damn, watching this after Pomu Graduated makes this more emotional and it's enough to make a grown man cry

I got literal chills during the fan chat. I can just imagine a sold out concert arena chanting if they ended up touring ever

*Starts sobbing loudly*

This wasn't easy but we all managed to do it, thanks everyone for your hard work AND THANKS LAZULIGHT FOR EXISTING LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO 💛💙💚

The chant gives me a lot of goosebumps, DCL will always be my ultimate NijiEN song! Thank you for organizing this and happy 1st anniversary for LazuLight and NijiEN! 👏👏👏

My jaw dropped at the taiga part. My gosh it sounds like they're singing it all together whilst lazulight performs live, that would be so incredible!

I was there when DLC started premiering and the moment "The day I opened up memory's door" line begun i knew this was a before and after in Nijisanji history. Ready for the tears and cries of joy seeing this. The description is simply perfect and i sure Lazulight would absolutely love this gift for sure made with all the love of clippers corner and us the fans. You all truly know how to celebrate their annyversary. Thanks in advance to everyone involved in this masterpiece. o7

2:09 Whoever hit that note I love you

The day I opened up memory's door~

Sing Along :) The day I opened up memory's door I found something that I could live for Curtains shook as you opened my eyes And light came rushing inside Data behind my heart's encryption key (can you see?) Listen and you might hear a melody Your fire sparked, the passion that keeps burning Magic that helps me to believe All the colors of the night and the way they help you hide I'm learning what it's like to love and be alive Oh, there will always be a tomorrow You'll never have to be alone Diamond city lights illuminate what's inside And all the love I feel by your side Decoding these emotions, you're the ocean I wanna dive into tonight Rainbow-colored skies invite us to take a ride I know time won't wait 'cause it only leaves behind Don't cry, look in my eyes and you might find A shimmering light that will guide you through the night When gray skies take the colors away (far away) I'll paint a rainbow lasting for days and days Just like the magic that you always shared with me Maybe now you need to believe As the hands of time progress, it's so easy to forget The miracle that helped you bring me to life Oh, there will always be a tomorrow We'll never have to be alone Diamond city lights illuminate what's inside And all the love I feel by your side Decoding these emotions, you're the ocean I wanna dive into tonight Rainbow-colored skies invite us to take a ride I know time won't wait 'cause it only leaves behind Don't cry, look in my eyes and you might find A shimmering light, now let me guide you JINZOU FIRE FAIBO WAIPAA, TAIGA TAIGA TTTTAIGA, CHAPE APE KARA KINA CHAPE YAPE KARA KINA MYOHHONTUSUKE **CLAP** WAIPAA!! FIRE FIRE TORA TORA KARA KINA CHAPE APE BABA, AMA AMA JYASUPA!! TORA TAIGA, DARE TAIGA! JINZOU SENI YA TAIGA! Let's go to the place Let's go to the place Let's go to the place where our happiness won't fade away If you could only see the joy you've showed to me I think you would realize everything we could be Diamond city lights illuminate what's inside And all the love I feel by your side Decoding these emotions, you're the ocean I wanna dive into tonight Rainbow-colored skies invite us to take a ride I know time won't wait 'cause it only leaves behind Don't cry, look in my eyes and you might find A shimmering light that will guide you through the night Diamond lights, rainbow skies In the night there's no need to hide The joy in your eyes fills me with life, so let it shine

the taiga chant here hits different ;-; i love this community sm 4:54 i was tearing up but that hella long name lmao

More stuff I wish I could've been a part of, this is wonderful, I love it! 2:34 the whole time I was going "do the chant, do the chant!" and the chant was done!

The chant was the most emotion-filled thing i have ever heard take me backkk

i love how Elira simultaneously looks like the male and female protagonist in a Shoujo manga/anime 1 year of Pomu melting brains

Demn it's only their first anniversary It feels like they're with us for years now

The taiga chanting legit feels like a concert

The amount of time and effort that went into this I can't comprehend, it's so amazing!!! Love the crowd here lol 3:29

the vocals, the chant, the EVERYTHING. i'm crying in the club man

THAT CLAP WAS OVER 9000

Oh, those good ol' days

I AM SO READY FOR THIS AYO BEEN MONTHS IN THE MAKING I’m thankful for LazuLight and everybody who worked to put this video together! I’m glad I got to take part of it and hope for another year of memories, memes, and more friends to make!

Arghh this just pop up randomly again after 2 years! ~Live, Laugh, Love Lazulight, We are POMU!

As soon as the song started, I'm on the verge of crying. Then when the chant started, I started ugly crying. This is so beautiful~ Thank you for everyone's hard work! 💕

The Taiga part really made it feel like they sang this in a packed concert hall, hits really different.

This was so beautiful literally pov. when the fandom is just as talented! From the editing to the vocals and everything else was so well made what the actual fu- I cant believe i have been following these girls for a year it actually makes me tear up yk I am so happy for them and I hope more success comes their way since they deserve it so much now imma go cri-

This brought me to absolute tears. DCL is such a wonderful, hopeful melody of friendship and love that encourages everyone to look to the brightest side of every moment. It released when the world was in the midst of a dark time (we still are, to be honest) in which many people felt alone in their troubles. It was when people needed that light the most. I was one of those people until I found out about VTubers. Watching people who used character designers’ passion for art as a proxy to show the world their wonderful personalities instead of appearing in real life was so interesting to me. And then I found about NijiEN through Selen and, not long after, found Lazulight and its dork fairy, seiso feesh, and sheesh dragon. The rest is history, and now I can’t count on my hands and feet how many different talents I keep tabs on (inside and outside Niji because I just love them all so much. It was all because of Diamond City Lights. I listened to that damn song, and I couldn’t get it out of my head for weeks. It still helps me keep my head on my shoulders and just feel good in general. It probably seems hard for them to believe, but I hope Pomu, Finana, and Elira realize just how many lives they’ve touched with their voices 💙💛💚2232 💙💛💚

The clock showing their debut date. Chills.

Stop! I don't want to cry! Please! ;-; This is the best community I've ever been a part of! Thank you for existing, EN! YOU'RE THE BEST!

Thanks everyone involved for working on this! I was always lowkey jealous of people that did fan projects. So, I was finally inspired to participate in Lazulight ones. Life feels somewhat brighter now-a-days I guess I have a certain Sky Dragon, Forest Fairy, and Tropical Mermaid to thank for that.

This hurts now that pomu's gone

うわあああ！！！！LazuLightへの愛がすごい伝わってきます！！！！すごい！！！！！

As always, the start made me have goosebumps all over, tear up (''Don't cry?'' that's a trigger), sang along with the taiga chant and twerked in the entirety of this cover. Thank you for this

With every passing year, our love of both LazuLight and NijisanjiEN as a whole will only continue to grow. The love that everyone has for LazuLight radiates in the music, and it will only grow from there. Love lasts eternally, and this song is a testament to that fact. Thank you.

I am so proud to be part of the nijisanji community.

The first chorus had me in slight tears, but the moment the chant began I was gone, full sobbing as I sang along. This is stunning, awesome job to everyone involved!

Pomu was the only reason why I stayed. I really wish her the best wherever she goes 😭😭😭

I wish I could have joined this! ;w; Lazulight really made my days shine bright.

Truly, the song that started it all…I can’t believe it’s already been a year since LazuLight debuted! Having been there for the premiere of Diamond City Lights and being here a year later feels absolutely surreal 😭 I’m especially grateful towards the LazuLight girls, Elira, Pomu, Finana, we love you all! Thank you for being you! A huge thank you to everyone in the team and thank you for letting me participate in this! It’s been a dream come true to get to sing in a project like this, with so many people who share the same love for these amazing people. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I hope you’ll all enjoy this! 💕

Coming back to this after Pomu'a graduation announcement, it really shows just how many lives she's touched.

Every time I hear the taiga part I get goosebumps. Sometimes people just make incredible things that nobody knew or believed would ever happen

That was absolutely incredible, awesome, perfect, powerfull and all the good adjetives that exist in this world. The effort put into this is just colossal. I call this a complete succest and a excellent gift to Lazulight that is already very moved with how good this was. Well done guys! you all amaizing o7

"don't cry" me: sobbing

I don't know what came over me, but when the Jinzou Fire chant came up I started tearing up. Congrats on 1 year, looking forward for more to come!!!!

That chant is absolutely glorious, it sounds like it's in a big concert

So _this_ is what y'all were talkin' about workin' on, magnificent work! Edit: The chant gave me chills, holy hell.

I dropped a tear when I heard the first Jinzo

THE CHANT GAVE ME CHILLS

Thank you Lazulight for accompanying us for a year! Thank you to them for building a wonderful fan community and letting the entire world learn about Nijisanji. The fan chant was something amazing to hear, and it got me feeling so nostalgic and happy. Here's to the girls being able to perform DCL in 3d, and for them to hear the chant of thousands in person one day. Thank you, and happy one year anniversary to Lazulight, Pomudachis, Ryuguards, Famlira, and NijiEN. May there be many many more anniversaries and milestones in the future 🎉
