I realize that for fans of "Karakai Jouzu na Takagi-san"（からかい上手の高木さん...Skilled Teaser Takagi-san）, I'm considerably late for the party. For one thing, I'm still wrapping up Season 2 which was broadcast back in 2019, and for another, Season 3 finished its run months ago. But I did see the penultimate episode for Season 2 last week which you can see above when Takagi-san, who almost always has the upper hand over Nishikata-kun, got that seasonal critical hit from him (of course, without him realizing it) when he finally asked her out to the summer festival. Cue punches in air and lots of tears.
Yeah, it's been another relaxing slice-of-life romantic comedy season with "Takagi-san" as the relationship between Takagi and Nishikata continues to develop while the extended cast grows slightly in that countryside town or small city. But of course, singer-songwriter Yuiko Ohara（大原ゆい子）is back for the opening theme song. Compared to her contribution for the opening theme of the first season, "Zero Centimetre" is a bit more wistful although the tempo peps up a bit more as we get further into the song.
Written and composed by Ohara, it sounds as if the song is being told from Takagi's point of view without all of the teasing on her future husband; she just wants Nishikata to acknowledge the feelings between them are there. As for the meaning of the title, she no longer wants to have any gap between them in their journey together. However, she's obviously a most patient young lady and the time will come. "Zero Centimetre" reached No. 55 on Oricon.
