Introduction:
On January 6, 2026, as ゆう’s opening theme "綺麗" laid out a philosophy of sterile beauty, singer-songwriter Natsumi Kiyoura (清浦夏実) offered its necessary, haunting counterpoint. Her ending theme "若葉のころ" (Wakaba no Koro / The Time of New Leaves) is a song not of cleansing, but of persistent memory. It is the ghost in the spotless room, the indelible emotional stain that resists all solvents, and the bittersweet truth that some things, especially the tender, green memories of youth, are meant to leave a permanent mark. This is the sound of what remains after the professional cleaners have left.
Decoding the Title: "The Time of New Leaves" as an Unerasable Core:
The title "若葉のころ" is a deeply nostalgic, almost archetypal Japanese phrase evoking a specific, universal feeling: the tender, hopeful, slightly fragile time of late spring/early summer, symbolizing youth, innocence, and beginnings.
The Stain of Innocence: In the context of Wash It All Away (綺麗にしてもらえますか。), a series about erasing trauma and evidence, the "time of new leaves" represents the pristine, original state before the stain occurred. It’s the memory of a pure self or a pure relationship that the cleaning service is hired to restore, but can only mimic through emptiness.
The Core That Defies Erasure: Kiyoura’s song posits that this core memory this "wakaba no koro," is the one thing that cannot be fully washed away. It may be buried, faded, or painful, but its impression remains like a watermark on the soul. The cleaning creates a kirei (clean/beautiful) void, but this song is the echo that still resonates within it.
Kiyoura’s Authentic Melancholy: Known for her work on profound, character-driven anime themes (Mushishi, Bokurano) with a sound that blends folk sincerity, piano balladry, and a voice that carries both warmth and sorrow, Kiyoura is the ideal artist to voice this resistant humanity. She is the antithesis to the clinical purity of the OP, the human heartbeat that refuses to be silenced.
Narrative & Thematic Impact: The Ethical Counterweight:
The Soul of the Series: If the OP ("綺麗") presents the alluring offer of the service, the ED ("若葉のころ") reveals its tragic cost. It provides the emotional and ethical counterweight, forcing the audience to question whether such cleansing is a salvation or a deeper sin.
Celebrating the "Stain": The song champions the beauty of imperfection, of history, of the marks left by living. It argues that a life made kirei of all pain might also be stripped of all meaning, all love, and all growth that sprang from that tender "wakaba" time.
Kiyoura’s Authoritative Melancholy: Her established reputation for deep, thoughtful anime music gives this ED immense narrative weight. Her voice isn't just a performance; it feels like the testimony of memory itself, lending undeniable truth to the idea that some things must, and should, endure.
Conclusion:
"若葉のころ" is a masterful and essential companion piece. Natsumi Kiyoura (清浦夏実) has crafted a song that stands as a powerful moral and emotional anchor for Wash It All Away (綺麗にしてもらえますか。). It is a breathtakingly beautiful reminder that the messiness of life its traumas and its pristine joys are inextricably linked. To erase one is to risk losing the other.
The song doesn't just play over the credits; it passes judgment on the episode's events. It asserts that the most precious things in life are not kirei, but wakaba, not clean, but alive, green, tender, and capable of leaving a mark that defines us. In a story about professional erasure, this is the anthem of the amateur, stubborn, beautiful human heart that refuses to be made spotless.
Availability: Now streaming on all platforms. The song closes each episode of Wash It All Away (綺麗にしてもらえますか。), serving as its emotional decompression and moral conscience. The ending animation, likely featuring soft, memory-like visuals of nature and past moments, is available on official anime streams and the SACRA MUSIC YouTube channel.
