Minori Chihara version

"Yasashii Bōkyaku" (優しい忘却, lit. "Tender Oblivion") is the eighth CD single containing 4 versions of the titular song by Minori Chihara. The single was used as the ending theme to The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya,[1] in which Chihara again reprises her role as Yuki Nagato. It won the Best Singing Award at the fifth annual Seiyu Awards held in 2011 in Tokyo for Chihara's performance.[2] A promotional video for the song, filmed in the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise's real-world parallel setting of Nishinomiya-Kita Prefectural High School, was released January 27, 2010 on Lantis' official YouTube channel.[3]
