  • Love~~~

  • you can read the translation its below the video

  • really beautiful :)

  • ~=♪♥♫♥=~

    Her voice and piano - no additional effects needed! Thank you Angela again!

  • so beautiful. i attempted suicide at the age of 13 and i was in a dark place. when the suicide failed, i wrote myself a letter to ease the pain. last week i was cleaning out my old room since i was moving in with my husband, and in the very back of my closet, i found a crinkled paper. it was the letter i had written to my future self 15 years ago...

    i dont think i cried ever in my life as much as i did then.

  • Nice music.

  • 28 morons, is this world is getting stupid or what?

  • I don't understand why they crying, but i cried with them. It was awesome! 大好きでした.

  • @LUIZ20009 - LEARN SOME JAPANESE. LOL! 日本語はまだできないのか? 情けないな。

  • @Trixiaoyu I couldn't see anything wrong with his japanese...what'd I miss?

  • @TheLanternSpirit - 'I don't understand why they crying' - This directly implies that Mr. LUIZ20009 cannot comprehend BASIC elementary Japanese. The lyrics in that song were so simple to understand and Mr. LUIZ20009 couldn't comprehend it, hence the quote, "I don't understand why they crying". It's too bad, if '大好きでした.' is the limit to his Japanese, それは彼の限界なら、彼の未来には、希望が無い。悪い。

  • i'm glad i have a sense of hearing to be able to hear such a lovely, fantastic song like this one ('∀’)<3¸.•*¨* ☆ kikitai desu..<3

  • 28 FREAKING BLOODY MORONS.

  • This song serves me as a reminder why I'm struggling to learn this language. It's not just a beautiful song, but the Japanese language makes it perfect, it gives me chills. No other language could do this. Arigatou.

  • 25 BLOODY MORONS.

  • 聞く聞けば好きになります

  • この手紙の意味があまりわかりませんですが、聞くとき、私のとこ­ろからさびしかったです。。十年前にこのてがみをつくったぞうで­すね 

  • compared to people born in 1950s 1960s, today teenagers grow up in much-smaller family and are mostly loved and taken care by parents / grandparents. Once they are about to go into the society and thinking of getting their own jobs / careers, they feel lost like puppies is a natural feeling, when the society not going to give them so many chances within the offices / management related positions.

  • she's not only a great pianis, but also a great singer for me^^

  • I don't understand Japanese but I can feel the sentiments the song brings.

    Sometimes I just wonder why people already started to worry about life when they are just as young as 15. Kids, you are still young and you have nothing to lose. You still have a whole bunch of relatives, friends, time and energy. Keep your innocence. Pick up every minute to do what you want to do.

  • @ryanyuhou When a girl is in her teens, there are moments when things get too difficult, either in the family or in school or with her love life (if she already starts dating). There will be pressure from studies, her home and her peers, so she will feel that life is too hard to continue. Many females identify with this sentiment. This song addresses those feelings and telling them it is okay and life will be bittersweet, but they'll live on if they persevere. Touching song. Hence the tears.

  • whaaaa..... She has such a beautiful voice, AND we share the same the birthday.(though, i wasn't born in 1977. :P) Awesome. Now if only I could sing as well. Hmmm, yeah, never going to happen. D;

  • I have no doubt this song is about the struggles SHE went through before she was famous...of course she wasn't 15 but she worked like for like half a decade doing crappy jobs while playing at crappy joints before she got noticed and took Japan

  • "is this dedicated to someone?" the first thing i've thought.

    wew she has a very beautiful voice :D

  • Seriously people rip off no way! Angela Aki is an amazing singer and song writer. The people who dislike this are real idiots.

  • i almost cried

  • @HomleandSecurity Ripoff of what? I'm just wondering....And I don't know what the shovel face comment has to do with it....:S

  • @HomleandSecurity cool story bro. oh by the way, your username is spelt wrongly. just saying.

  • @xavistheman No, moron. I spelled it exactly the way I wanted.

  • :D? i cant understand some of the lines :D? thanks for the english translation :D? and thanks for the upload :D? ganbatte ne :D?

  • @makudake watch?v=CMGgWhTY_A8

  • une tres belle chanson.

  • @gancho12

    Ca me fait moi tres triste quand j'ai voire. Mais oui c'est tres belle :). Je veux ecouter en persone avec elle.

  • Now there are 21 morons... -_-

  • @SkipChanDesu Oh no the stone hearted morons are increasing

  • What's the mean of "tegami???"....

  • @1973ARTEMIDE The Letter

  • @1973ARTEMIDE letter てがみ

  • well, this song is emotional violence! every note is a punch in my tear sac :(

    bless Fukushima

  • My choir sang this song for a national competition last week and we came in with a silver. This song taught me many things, the most important one is to keep on believing :)

  • What a beautiful song ! Thank you so much for the English translation after reading the translation I have tears in my eyes now !

  • Why exactly is everybody crying? A better description of the video would be nice. I mean... I know there's that music CAN do that to people, but that kind simply stopped flowing after a certain Freddy left this Earth, so there must be a proper reason for this. It can't also be earthquake related cos its a 2008 post.

  • @cldpt if i remember what i read two years ago correctly XD angela aki went to this school to talk about song writing and all that good stuff. somewhere during her lecture/presentation/whatever it's called, she played this song for them and if you read the English translation you get the point of the song. since the song is relevant to this age group, they connected to this song and started crying...someone else posted this same vid with a detailed explanation in the notes, if you can find it.

  • @cldpt people are crying because this is a really hopeful song :) it teaches us to believe in ourselves and to not give up. i guess that her emotions were conveyed in her song and voice.

  • be strong, Japan..

  • this song touch my heart . it's beautiful !

  • adoroa a lax ica sus letras son muy lindas!!!!:)

  • Being young can be very painful and confusing. You have very little perspective and it's hard to believe that things will get better and that everything's going to be ok. This song is so beautiful and perfectly touches on those painful moments that we all share being young. I wish I heard this when I was 15.

  • I hope that showing this to my friend would make them feel better

    and to get this song's message

    さからみんあさん

    KEEP ON BELIVING^_^

  • this song is for the graduation of japan in high school ........i`m only gr.6 but our song is tabidachi no hini ....that is very lonely song ......next month i will be high school......we will song this song.........but i`m not japanese ....i am a filipino but i can speak japanese ,english,tagalog and a little bit spanish :D

  • if all people take a bit of affection and love for all children, adolescents and youth who are in need, we would not have grandiose indices of suicides in the world.

    すべての人々が愛情のビットを取る場合、すべての子どもたち、思­春期の若者と若者を必要としているために、愛して、私たちは、世­界で自殺の壮大なインデックスを持っていないだろう.

  • oh...but the ROMAJI lyrics has some mistakes....like it's "nayami no tane"...

  • good translation.

  • Is this song in the Shodo Girls Movie?

  • beautiful... just beautiful...

    no other word to describe it

    it makes me cry...

  • This song makes me sooo sad! T^T

    I'm only 17 and I feel like I've wasted them already. D;

  • Kaite.. Koso Tegam bwahahahha

  • I misread the title, I thought it said, 'Angel Aki' then I relied that it was 'Angela Aki' I think 'Angel Aki' would of been better ^^

  • Aww, Angela Aki is such a kind person. To think of writing a song like this for all the poor kids stumbling along trying to figure out life on their own in an ever more bewildering world... Heck, I'm 27 and I feel lost and confused like that sometimes. Hearing her sincere wish for everyone to be happy was really touching. I don't know why such kindness should make me cry, but I'm definitely crying now. Beautiful song.

  • みんな可愛く見えて、みんな自分の子供のようにいとおしくなる。­正直言って、可愛い子もすこし可愛くない子もいるけどどんな子も­みんな、可愛くその涙は、真珠のような輝きをもった涙だ。◎◎ビ­デオ見ている自分が、恥ずかしくなる。もうやめようと思うけど、­やっぱり時間がたつと元に戻ってしまう自分が情けない。あの真珠­の涙には勝てない・・・・・・・・・!

  • you made me cry angela......

  • wwwwwwwwoooooowwwwwwwww amazing beautiful song, completely touchful! *__________*

  • One of the most amazing and touching songs I have heard...

    Screw grammar, I'm not inserting a verb in my previous sentence. This song is worth the sacrifice.

  • amaizing,this is a beatifull song, touchme.

  • I'm a grown man, but in this song running my big tears!

  • try to not cry

  • @Sagwaneem Thanks for uploading this. It's beautiful, but there's just one thing. In line 4, I think it's tane, not kanae, right? Seeds, so tane.

    Other than that, I didn't notice anything incorrect in the translation. Good job, and thanks again!

  • butt-ugly girls!

  • @henrysinaga dude...I'm sorry, but that's not an appropriate comment on this video, some people are crying right now D:

  • @deogrou But seriously, they're so fucking ugly! vomits!

  • @henrysinaga lol, even if they are, who cares :d

  • @deogrou I think the absolute worst of the bunch is between 1:07, 3:25, or 4:32 haahhhaaa...!

  • @henrysinaga dude ur from fucking indonesia, ur skin is black like shit so i wouldn't be talking

  • @mochalucha No, I'm half white like Angela.

  • @henrysinaga i watched your upload okay, you look like shit. just face it sheesh, where does your ego even come from

  • @mochalucha I look like shit, no, you're the one who's biased.

  • @henrysinaga you obviously don't bother to go through the hate comments on your video. everyone is biased, but saying that the girls who are crying on a nice song like this is both insensitive and just downright stupid

  • @mochalucha I bet there isn't any mirror left in the girls toilet at their school, since they were all cracked! hahaha just being honest ;)

  • @henrysinaga is that a joke? you think your funny? sorry to break it down to you, you come across as a nerd who gets no action but ridicules others because of their looks. i mean thats cool i do that too, but not on a video like this. and your not funny so quit fucking trying

  • @mochalucha dont. feed. the. troll.

  • @toolfan92 tool

  • The way Aki captures every detail and puts them, so heartfelt and tender, into melody and lyric form is really just... tear-worthy. T_T Another amazing song~! <3

  • When my heart feels heavy, I watch this video and cry, then, my hearts feels 'light' again so thank you so much for uploading this <3

  • all though i don understand but i can feel wat it means

  • Omigod.. I'm so glad my sensei sent this to us.. I really like this song...

  • Holy crap! Am I crying?

  • another great song from angela aki... love her ^_^

  • Go watch 1 litre of tears and listen to this song , you will be able to cry ,

    too .

  • though i didn't know the meaning of this song

    its beautiful melody touched my heart

    and as i thought the song meaning and melody were completely beautiful :)

    thanks

  • yeah its a nice song for sure, but you have to admit that making middle school Japanese girls cry with a mopey song is kinda like shooting fish in a barrel.

    I suppose If I met my 15 year old self I'd say "Stop being a loser and grow up already!"

    If my 15 year old self met me he'd probably say "since when did girls and video games stop being so important?"

    Nice song but honestly I don't think a letter from a 15 year old is that insightful anyway. I do like her though.

  • really touching!

  • 19 people are morons

  • @LittleMonster759 agree... they do not like good music.

  • @LittleMonster759 make that 20! >:O

    

  • @LittleMonster759 20 people now

  • Comment removed

  • @Jincare74 There are no articles in Japanese, so really 手紙 could mean a letter, the letter, the letters, some letters, etc.

  • @RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77 手紙 means Letter in english

  • @Jettro2199 Yes, I know that, but get did you even read what you are replying to? There are no articles in Japanese so there is literally no difference between the expressions for a letter or the letter

  • @RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77 oh ok godbless!

  • You can see how much of an impact she's making: the kids are crying !! <3

  • beautiful song

  • Que cancion tan bella, y pos la verdad lo que dice la letra es muy cierto

  • @Markus9679 fheg

  • ワアアー いい曲

  • angela aki is so amazing, I love her!

    what a beautiful song! I listen to it like 5 times a day! <3

  • Part of what makes me emotional when watching this video is the contagious shots of the girls crying.

    If I were listening to this song only, no visuals, I probably wouldn't get so emotional.

    With that said, it's still a good song.

  • 素晴しい パチ!パチ!パチーッ! パチ!パチ!パチーッ!

  • 当你打开这封信的时候会在哪里干什么呢 15日的自己,我对谁也没有说出自己的烦恼 因为这是寄给未来的我的信 一定要坦诚地说出来 现在快要被打败的我,在哭的我,快要消失的我 要相信谁的话前进呢 只有一个办法 带着心中无限的矛盾给我的烦恼 在这痛苦中生活 赋予现在生命 谢谢打开信,有些事想向15日的你诉说 自己为了什么应该向那里出发呢 带着这个疑问,逐渐就可以看到答案 疯狂的青春像大海一样大起大落 向着明天的岸边,在梦中的小舟前进 现在我没有被打败,没有哭,消逝的那个瞬间 相信自己的声音前进 作为大人的我,仍然有受伤痛苦失眠的夜晚 痛苦,但要赋予现在甜蜜 人生一定是有意义的,谨慎地孕育你的梦想吧 坚持信仰 快要被打败的我,在哭的我,快要消失的我 要相信谁的话前进呢 没有被打败,没有哭,消逝的那个瞬间的我要 相信自己的声音前进就可以了 任何时代,躲避悲伤都不能前进 让我看看你的笑脸,好好生活前进吧 祝愿打开这封信正在阅读的你
