[13LuckyWishes]

I loop Yoko Kanno over and over and over when I'm writing. Why is she so brilliant?

[AnimeFreakenxD]

Her songs make me feel like I'm in a world alone u.u

[Nettacki]

It wasn't too bad. Really, it wasn't. Not the best though.

[Jaicru]

[ivan019201]

esta cancion me relaja mucho, me recuerda un sueño que tuve :)

[oskarmatvere]

[Allthatisrock]

[Juan3Cdg]

tan simple, tan hermosa...

[lukamika123]

such a great music.... i cant understand why like justin bieber gets 500 milions wievers on shitty song and such fantastic music like this got only near 1 million ?...

[Milomia9]

Yoko Kanno and Yoko Shimomura. XD

[Lockeadon]

other great japanese artists you may not have heard of... KOKIA and Yuki Kajiura

[H4NDBANANUH]

Thank god i watched ghost in the shell movies and anime series, or i would have never found out about Yoko Kanno.

[RoflEpicFail]

Ah~ Escaflowne♥♥ so magical

[jwbrough1]

at 2;06 it ends with gymnopedia

[WeegeeTheDrummer]

Wow .. That was really immersive.. This is the most epic thing I've seen.. You and Yoko Kanno made me dream for 2minutes and 29 seconds. Great AMV, Like button locked on @_@

[Mcfaps]

Sounds very much like a old final fantasy song... I can not put my finger on it but the beginning, final fantasy lovers will hear it.

[FlameofFaith94]

This song...It isn't long enough ;) I love it so much! So lovely.. <3 Thank you for posting it <3 :3

[devoncmi]

my angel



[devoncmi]

very good

[NewDivded]

I don't want to crush it but the name on the singer is Maaya Sakamoto, Sry. Did a reserch.

[loobywibble]

@NewDivded Actually it's not; Sakamoto Maaya sang most of the songs on the original series soundtrack for Escaflowne and performed the movie theme 'Yubiwa.' This song is sung by Shanti Snyder, but it was written by Yoko Kanno.

[NewDivded]

@NewDivded But acording to HiryuRei is the singer Yoko (But she sings another song with a loger name) and i colud only find this song vith Maaya.

[blackdraq0on]

You know this song is from escaflowne? Why do you have kingdom hearts in the background....

[Mikomikokoro]

@blackdraq0on

Because it's an AMV. There are probably AMVs with Kingdom hearts music, but Escaflowne clips if you prefer that.

[kasumimoon1961]

this is goin on my yoko kanno playlist!! <3

[nikiwonoto]

Yoko Kanno's songs often send me to another world...far-away from this real world & all its mundane-ness...

[alex291212]

@nikiwonoto i know the feeling, it is really breath-taking, beautiful voice

[PeachCatHill]

i can just listen to yoko's song for all day!

[purpleworld94]

how did you get this song i keep trying iTunes but it does not have it and i want it so badly!!!!!!!

[gr8Sweetfox]

I totally have to play kindom hearts...

[angel5654]

720p if possible????

[angel5654]

romanian??? I thought it was thai

[commentunkman]

this is a masterpiece

[MajiiTesting]

1:07 gives me goose bumps.

< 3

[BLong100591]

I have fallen in love with all of Yoko Kanno's songs!

[miruhinyan]

what a beautiful song :)

[HistorianWest]

@miruhinyan

I agree :)

[KHKairi6]

(^-^) 

[McFibblez]

1:05 made me feel like I could do anything, and nothing was impossible. I have never felt that way ever before in my entire life.

[LittleLink974]

Tout simplement magique ...

[slayerx1995]

this is my favorite song. i love it mostly cause its sung in ancient romanian

[Favardina]

What a beautiful voice!!

[Fetishjerk93]

im guessing this song is about a song bird, the word sora means song bird in Native American

[AzuraMitchell]

@Fetishjerk93 'Sora' also means 'sky' in Japanese :)

[rutabagasteu]

I was looking for more music by Yoko Kanno and found this one.

Thank you.

[XxxLoveBug76xxX]

what language is this song? and what is the anime called? and is the song from a anime? thank you to who every answers my question this song is beautiful

[Kittynaruto18]

@XxxLoveBug76xxX supposed to be japansese but sometimes she will just make up words and put them in. the song is originally in kingdom of hearts. yeah its beautiful huh. :)

[xxxanimepopxxx]

@Kittynaruto18 Nope. This is not in Kingdom Hearts. This is from Visions of Escaflowne. And it's no where near Japanese. It's a completely made of language. Nothing in this is a real language word.

[xxxanimepopxxx]

@XxxLoveBug76xxX This is from Visions of Escaflowne. The language isn't a real language, but Yoko Kanno calls in Old Fanelian. She made it herself.

[TheKaitoPikachuu]

I was crying when I heard this song. It reminded me of my friends at school.....

:(

[xXxSnowXAblazexXx]

(the lyrics) Win dain a lotica En val tu ri Si lo ta Fin dein a loluca En dragu a sei lain Vi fa-ru les shutai am En riga-lint Win chent a lotica En val turi Silota Fin dein a loluca Si katigura neuver Floreria for chesti Si entina Lalala� Fontina Blu Cent De cravi esca letisimo Lalala� De quantian La finde reve Win dain a lotica En vai tu ri Si lo ta Fin dein a loluca En dragu a sei lain Vi fa-ru les shutai am En riga-lint

[chambless09]

except the little repetition at 0:42, that seems a little misplaced and awkward. but other than that you chose the perfect song the perfect clips it flows well and it is beautiful. i loved it Great JOB!!! don't be so hard on yourself.

[craftgate]

the song is so beautiful it could lull me to sleep ^_^

i most loved and enjoyed it!

[csralls1]

beautiful



[deidrerdiano1411]

the first time i've heard this song was around last year and it really moves me.. and i haven't forgotten it ever since... ur vid matches the song pretty well.. tho ther r parts u shud improve on.. i really like the part 1:07 to 1:40 ..... the "lalalalalalalala...~" makes me feel like i'm floating. and somehow i'm determined to do better!

[McFibblez]

Whenever I need inspiration, I listen to this. Then, I do something better than expected...

[HeeroHimura]

(even though you uploaded this 3 years ago) This video was great for Sora.

[JazzProgBoss]

I love how Kindgom hearts is based around surrealism, especially the spots you put together show this art form.

[trolead3]

soz bad grammar

[Smiilez03]

Makes me feel like sleeping on a cloud (If that were possible lol)

[wolfaxel3000]

@Smiilez03 welp sora does mean sky in japanese so it's not suprising if u do

[imamato]

Das Lied macht mich aus persönlichen Gründen zwar sehr traurig, aber es ist trotzdem wunderschön...

[MrPrototypz]

Wow. Fucking wow. I am not amazed by the ''Beauty'' of this song by the way.

[mistylugia425]

worst part 2:29

[TheChickenRiceBowl]

OH MY GOD YES. I'M ACTUALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW! I've been looking for this video for a year now because I had saw it then all of the sudden coudln't find it anymore and I've finally found it! <:'D. I'M JUST SOO...SOO...I'M SO HAPPY. THANK YOU! Thumbs up and definately favorited. I'M NEVER LOSING THIS SONG AGAIN!

[chemislife]

this video looks like clips from kingdom of hearts. nice song^^

[TheBockingbird]

Too beautiful

[xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx]

what kind of animation is this, its my favorite, are there any shows with this type of animation used???

[Tyynikki]

@xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx The video clips are from a rpg game called Kingdom Hearts ;)

[xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx]

@Tyynikki I know, I play Kingdom Hearts, but I wonder what the animation is called, is it a 3d type thing??? And there should be a regular t.v/internet show using this type of animation..I know the intro to Ghost In THe Shell-Stand Alone Complex is like that.

[Tyynikki]

@xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx I think it's called 3D. But I'm not 100% sure.

[Zetisx]

@xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx usualy it goes by "CG" or computer graphical 

[xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx]

@Zetisx oh ok. hey imma make an english fandub to this song!

[trolead3]

@xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx It is 3D animation, unfortunately these days people get confused because of those 3D glasses movies that are not 3D animation but just made 2 look 3D by filming from 2 angles. And i only know of 1 t.v show using 3D animation and thats iron kid or something. Theres an awesome 3D animation movie with spectacular graphics called vexille. I aslso just started creation 1 but it's far from done

[atjnAdfhhjea]

@trolead3 Macross Frontier has a few 3D CG models, Code Lyoko(i think thats the name, i refuse to watch it) is largely 3D as well.

[JustAtyper]

Ok, thats strange AGAIN! I was from Tail Tale's wonderful video, and now just a mix of a song and a game that starrs the modern Mickey Mouse who I hate so much. Disney, Nickalodean, and Cartoonnetwork had failed the whole world of kids entertainment.

[deathnotebringer]

what album is this on ?

[GardeNoisemaker]

@deathnotebringer Escaflowne soundtrack

[MichisSchatzi]

This song is really amazing *_*

[rucia85z9]

So mysterious and fantastic!

[TheJbhater45]

how do they come up with such hauntingly beautiful music i mean its marvolus

[IrkenInvader237]

*sniff* so *sniff* beautiful!

[haereeish]

OMG!! I LOVE THIS SONG! I REMEMBER IT OMGOMG!! /spaz haha

[jakeboston1]

why is kesha to the right?

[TheOriginalTrombone]

Pure beauty

[Shaick88]

a replay button plz? :D

[xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx]

This is sooooo beautiful!

[Anime5666]

I fell asleep a bit...

[superpatata1234]

kingdom hearts good idea

[veldross1]

I like the Jp version of Simple and clean more though.

[hawjsta]

I feel greatful that I did play KH 1 and 2, but I do regret never finishing Escaflowne.

[Ragnarok3000]

@hawjsta what are you talking about?

[hawjsta]

@Ragnarok3000 this is the theme song of Escaflowne. Cant find links to watching these.

[1autumnwinter]

Its is Japanese I think i heard somthing similar for the 'Outlaw star' credits

[cherumin]

@1autumnwinter Actually, it's not Japanese at all. Kanno Yoko likes to make up languages for a lot of her songs, like this one, and Green Bird in Cowboy Bebop. But the first words of the Outlaw Star ED 'Tsuki no Ie' do go "Sora, tooi sora..."

I just love her music..... And this is a really awesome video! Makes me wish I'd actually played KH....

[belalagoise]

i love asian music Asian Power for angel and xiao.

[kkEternalA]

1:07 to 2:29 beautiful dude

[VisualXxKei]

What is the language she sings in? 

[teddythebenny]

@VisualXxKei .. Ancient Romanian. the translation (cant be done, properly) In the dark- ness The dragon wakes. The dragon awakens. To a heart that is numbed with cold the dragon takes.[1] With you at my side the dragon sleeps. On dragon wing your wishes will leap.[2] lalala... your wishes can bring forth a destructive future. lalala... or you can bring salvation.[3] In the dark- ness The dragon wakes. The dragon awakens. To a heart that is numbed with cold the dragon takes.

[VisualXxKei]

@teddythebenny Wow! That's such an awesome language. And amazing translation as well.

Escaflowne is the best. Thanks for the answer too. :)

[bombitza]

@teddythebenny wow. but are you sure? i'm romanian and i don't get a thing. maybe it's the japanese accent?

[teddythebenny]

@bombitza well the translation site, and the writer said it was ancient romanian... but who cares.. seriously.. its still a mesmerizing song XD

[manimoosic]

i like how she gives a gentle nod to "Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1" in the end. One of the most versatile composers of our time.

[vivvinasme]

I love both KH series and Escaflowne... This is the best fan video I've ever seen, the videos fit perfectly with the song, that is at the same time awesome and extremely sad... When Kairi returns to the Destiny Islands I feel loneliness and hope mixed together to create a powerful stream of beautiful feelings... Thank you for making it!

[megachief1]

I like how this is in 240p and still sounds great.

[IntoxicatedFear]

unsurpassed

[Arbiter8655]

listen to this song after a break up

[St3tox]

@Arbiter8655 thats not a good thing...

[St3tox]

@Arbiter8655 only lets you remember whats precious to you maybe ...:)

[Arbiter8655]

it made me cry at 1:07 - 1:32

[bmx2930]

He hyped about 11000 now its 590000

[Mrjakleciziom]

Piękna muzyka.

[Run4TheRabid]

[invisiblue]

Back when games were good. -.-

[Shippo120]

Wow! This is awesome! I really need to beat KH 1 so i can figure out what happens next! T.T (Can't beat maleficent the dragon...)

[DarkWolfLeader]

I don't know why but this song makes me cry. T_T

[PannaEverBloom]

@DarkWolfLeader

Yes. Me too..

beautifull a little bit of advice though, use a little less speed in your video, right now it doesn't suit the song.

you did a good job though

"There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago." ~J. Robert Oppenheimer

"A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we... reach adulthood." ~Rachel Carson

[nikiwonoto]

"When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them, they show us the state of our decay." ~Brian Aldiss

@McFibblez that was......beautiful *sniffles*

[Raillyn]

I love this song, and for those that think its japanese its not. In fact its no language at all its a mix of many many languages tied into one for this one song. its pure beauty.

[WeAreLaughingOutLoud]

This is honestly the best video/song in the world. You, not only, got me to fall in love with this video, but inspired me to look up the song. I found out it was froma movie called Escaflowne, and it was AWSOME! THANKS!
