Voices of a Distant Star ( Hoshi no Koe ) 1 of 3

[Shrike2101]

I believe this is the Professional version. I've seen the original version and heard Shinkai and Shinohara do their voices, this seems a bit different. I could have it the wrong way around, but this job seems a bit more professional than the one I saw.

[Rhino6964]

I'd like to know which voice version is this. Is this a professional voice actors version?

[Bellerophone29]

Is this the version that Makoto Shinkai and his girlfriend voiced? I heard it was rereleased with professional voice actors, too.

[zotzklof]

These clouds. And the rain.

[wontonsoup771]

I heard that makoto shinkai did all of this on his personal desktop computer, and the original voice actors were him and his fiancee.

[princessthyemis]

Liking this so far :)

[mitzidel]

This reminds me an awful lot of Evangelion

[hydeist667]

Yep one man did the anime, with the help of his wife and soundtrack. Movie was made on a G4 WOOT

[MaizeSaane]

This entire anime was done by one man on an Apple computer.

[MaestroAlvis]

A lightning strike from Jupiter to Io. I wonder if that's ever been seen before.

[TheWiseGuy784]

And to think, this was all made entirely on just one guy's Macintosh.

Hello everyone! My name is Kevin Penkin and I am a 17 year old composer. I have just finished re writing the entire soundtrack for Voices of a Star as an experiment and a demonstration of my skills as a composer. I would truly appreciate it if all of you were to see (and hear it).

I hope you get to see it and I hope to I get to officially write music for something this magical.

Warmest thanks,

Kevin

I didn't know they made this into an actual anime!!! I LOVED the manga, so disappointed they didn't continue though. >:

[imeldaDuke]

Interesting story but the character design is rather crappy..

[donanobispacem1003]

TO ALL HATERS!!!! this was made entirely by a single person for years and the voice acting was done by the creator and his girlfriend 

[donanobispacem1003]

TO ALL HATERS!!!! this was made entirely by a single person for years and the voice acting was done by the creator and his girlfriend so dont complain and be amazed!!!

[YuGurrenBebop]

@donanobispacem1003 when you put it that way, it's pretty damn impressive.

[Harukachikara]

Fist time I saw this movie was on ma way to piano lessons. Since i had to leave right after I was trying sooooo hard not to cry on the way there! lol My father would laugh! Awsome Awsome Awsome movie.

[mshayashi]

Hi, Harukachikara, I live in Montreal now. You mentioned about piano lessons. I also have started taking piano lessons. I wonder how long I'll take to learn to play the piano song of this anime. Are you in advanced stage already?

[Harukachikara]

Oh,well. I was on my way to, but... Well that was a few years ago. Ive quit piano. But- im working on getting back on it. Good Luck with your lessons. :D

[mshayashi]

Do you think it's easy to play the song of this anime? It seems easy to me. I had just 2 days of lessons, and the total will be 10 lessons.

[Harukachikara]

Yes, actually. It's not a very complicated song, and its simplicity is what makes it so beautiful. There are many variations of the theme though, like "Rainy Bus Stop" or "Sadness at depature". Altough they're seperate themes in the movie, there based on the same melody. "Rainy Bus stop" is harder than others though.

[mshayashi]

Woow, good to have found you here. You seem to know a lot of piano. In the other hand, I'm just starting to learn it. What a shame, I'm already 41 years old, and you are so young, just 16, isn't it?

Well, is it possible for me, to get the melodies you mentioned above? I'd love to learn to play. Also, I might buy one piano for me.

[mshayashi]

Oui, c'est magnifique, c'est très jolie.Merci beaucoup. (^^)

[fearisgood1122]

the sky is sooo beautiful i want to cry.

[RolliIchi]

Subs are a little hard to see.

Then again who am i to complain..

[LilUsagiChan]

Yeah, sorry about but it is the best that I have. This is still a very lovely story. :)

Try watch it in fullscreen, icon with 4 arrows, then just point the mouse on the top of the screen to make the youtube-bar scroll away. =)
