The relationship between Chii and Hideki in CLAMP's Chobits is generally light hearted, but when it comes to finding her "person just for me," Chii has more at stake than she even knows. This is why out of all the cheerful anthems of Chobits, 'Ningyo Hime' ("Mermaid Princess") is a stellar emotional standout. Chii's own voice actress Rie Tanaka brings to life the more bittersweet side of Chii's affection, exploring how she wishes to hold on to the person she loves, even if it means feeling pain inside if that person goes away or doesn't return her adoration. The tone of this song is heart wrenching, but anyone who has had an intense relationship knows that love comes along with this sorrowful side. To quote The Academy Is...: "Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist".
