Anime Summary
Ichigo Kurosaki is a 15-year-old-boy who has an ability to see ghosts/spirits. Because of his ability, he is able to meet a female death god (AKA Shinigami) named Rukia Kuchiki. To save his family and friends from unwanted soul-eating spirits (Hollows), Rukia transfers her Shinigami powers to Ichigo. As Rukia takes on a human shell, together they solve mysteries involving spirits and Hollows until from the spirit world come two other Shinigami, who explain that it is illegal to transfer Shinigami powers to humans and that Rukia exceeded the time limit to stay in the human world. After they sentence her death for breaking the law, Ichigo snaps and swears to everyone he will retrieve Rukia by breaking into the spirit world.

Anime Song
Romaji Version
Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong
We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day
Tooku de iki o shiteru
Toumei ni natta mitai
Kurayami ni omoeta kedo
Mekakushi sareteta dake
Inori o sasagete
Atarashii hi o matsu
Azayaka ni hikaru umi
Sono hate made
Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong
Hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku
Mukedashitaku naru
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de
Fune o tsureteku
And every time I see your face, the oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
and soon I can see the shore
Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore
I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you, and keep you strong
Tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku
Odayaka na hi mo
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de
Fune o terashi dasu
Inori o sasagete
Atarashii hi o matsu
Azayaka ni hikaru umi
Sono hate made
And every time I see your face, the oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars,
and soon I can see the shore
Unmei no fune o kogi
Nami wa tsugi kara tsugi e to watashitachi o osou kedo
Sore mo suteki na tabi ne
Dore mo suteki na tabi ne
