Little Busters! Ending song (Kud & Mio route) - Amenochi Hare
Part of me kind of wishes that they'd gone with this for the ending-theme to the anime rather than the song they're apparently using... but on the other hand I'm not sure if it's even possible to cut this song down to 90 seconds without ruining it.

The red petals blooming by the wayside are dyed by the rain again today.
The children passing by it run through the shallow puddles on their way home.
For each drop that falls,
another drop spills over in my heart.
You were the one who taught me how to count the sounds of the rain.
I walk, carrying the book I borrowed at the library in my left hand so it won't get wet.
Whenever I felt down and looked up at the sky, it was because you told me to.
I take a detour, standing on the rooftop of the tall school building and gazing at the scenery.
In this colorless city, only the green and red colors of my umbrella shine.
As the raindrops trickle down,
my heart trembles in the rain.
You were the person who noted down how to trace my wounds.
There's a river in the distance. The train passing over the misty bridge may tremble, but here it's quiet.
When I realized it was out of my reach, I recalled those words of yours.
People cannot fly into this sky, but in their place,
the tears that are shed now will ascend into the sky, become rain and come back down.
The wind blows from the west, the clouds drift away, and a thrush looks out from underneath the shadow of a tree.
As we're standing still, look, a barely noticable shadow starts to extend at my side,
and then the light shines down upon us.
(chorus)
The gray clouds break apart and a golden curtain descends.
The rainbow stretches through the sky, chasing after the birds that take flight.
As the little girl begins to run, someone is waiting for her in the distance.
Extending both her hands, the last raindrop falls.
Her flowing tears dry up and her smile returns.
On the other side of the bridge, the sky is dyed scarlet.
Tomorrow, I will gather up the fragrance of the sun on my opened umbrella,
returning the tears that someone cried into the sky.

道ばたに咲く赤い花びらが雨に染まっていくの 今日も
すれ違う子ら 浅い水たまりを撥ね 家路走る
ひとしずく落ちてくるたび
ひとしずく心あふれる
あなたが教えてくれた 雨音の数え方を
左手に持つ図書館で借りた本が 濡れないように歩く
悲しくて空仰いでみたなら あなたのあの言葉
寄り道をして高い校舎の屋上 けぶる景色を見てた
色褪せた街 赤に緑傘の色だけが映える
雨だれがしたたるたび
雨だれに心ふるえる
あなたが記してくれた傷跡のなぞり方を
遠くには川 霞む橋渡る電車揺れてもここは静か
届かないこと分かったときには あなたのあの言葉
人たちはこの空飛ぶことは叶わないけど その代わり
いま流す涙は天に昇りまた 雨となり還る
西風が吹く雲が流れて 木陰にツグミの顔が覗く
立ち止まる ほら淡い影ひとつわたしの傍 のびる
そしてここに光が差す
(chorus)
灰色 雲間が割れて金の幕 降りる
飛び立つ鳥たち 追いかけ虹が架かる
少女が走ればその先 待つ人がいる
両手を伸ばすと最後のしずく落ちる
こぼれた涙は乾き 微笑みが戻る
橋の向こうから 茜に空が染まる
明日(あした)は広げた傘に陽の匂い集め
誰かが流した涙を空に帰す
