Voices by Yoko Kanno

[DJMorle]

richtig schön very nice

[bsnider0031]

really nice thanks for the u/l

[bpfoley89]

If I could get a complete Yoko Kanno collection I'd be happy.

[ILuvYouSasuke]

<3 this song is amazing. Will forever love this song . I like to hum it down the hallways while leaving early to my next class..... it actually sounds kind of spooky or mysterious when it echos down the hallways. o-o''''

[vocanovathememegurl]

no one will understand this but

OMFG 413

besides that i love yoko kanno

[abbyxxoo]

@vocanovathememegurl

413?

[vocanovathememegurl]

@abbyxxoo 413- A number of Apocalypse established in the Homestuck fandom.

Don't mind me.

[valery883]

sugoi..XD



[charlycrett]

this song is sooooooooooooooooo beautiful!!! 

[HaiRiley]

Akino Aria's song is in a different pitch, if anyone is wondering what that little bit of difference is. That's if you couldn't hear all of the Japanese instruments in her version.

[fantasyfuture1]

THIS IS SO CONFUSING!!!!!!!! The song voices by Akino Aria is almost exactly the same as this one.



[Arinozian]

Is this Akino Arai singing? If so, give due credit! Her voice single-handedly got me into Japanese music. She and Yoko Kano working together would just be impossibly awesome to me

[Alamaxca]

@manuelink64 Ghibli studio still use hand-drawing.

[manuelink64]

They don't make anime like they used to back then.

pre 2000 anime was the best, period!

every frame of animation was painted and drawn by hand, nowadays, all anime are made in CGI with no soul

Regards!

Macross Plus 4ever!!!

[leironis]

@manuelink64 cgi is kind of okay but imo the sotries latelly the good ones ... are very scarce they dont have that pull that pre 2000 ones had imo

[leironis]

[EmoGirl19954eva]

this is amazing!!!!

[hiniko2]

Am I the only one who feels lighter after hearign this like 30 times. I feel so light and....spacy. As if the world is floating by me and im standing still watching it float by slowly. hmmmmmmm

[SchinkenYo]

beautiful. <3 0:28 nausicaä ?

[monsterswife]

love all the art

[shandrial]

She has one of the most crystal clear voices ever....

[TheMrRapolas]

Thank you BPL

[Losteardrop]

I just found this song randomly on YT. This song reminds me my childhood so badly. My sister used to watch Macrosplus ... I'm so glad I finally found it.

[Mitokoko]

beautiful drawings :>

[avengerasia]

Hearing the ocean in the background just seems like it'd sound... I dunno. x3 Lovely song nonetheless :3

[chira00chira]

who's the singer?

[nurhebat]

@chira00chira Arai Akino. She is also well respected in the anime industry. Make sure you check her albums.

[johnkx]

I'm studying and now I feel sleepy :|

[CaptainBrawnson]

"The first word was dream... It came to me as I slept"

[k12kyle]

Anything Yoko Kanno is Brilliant

[DARKDanteDJ]

If you played Jade Cocoon this is is a lot like the music in that game I love it! >_<

[cmonconan]

wanted bebop but i found... THE MOST EPIC SHIT EVER... MACROSS PLUS!!!

The intro on the "flybike" was the first time i heard this song..

still gives me the shivers... good thing..

[kuro0tsukasa]

Macross Pluss For Ever

[o0GrayWolf0o]

Where is this from? Its familiar yet I can't place it...

[lovidavi]

This song feels like a long sigh. A good sigh, like when you are warm and relaxed.

[EvilsAngels94]

Great song...

[tonks980]

took my breath away........ TT^TT just beautiful.

[hnightway]

WOW just WOW !!

[Exile618]

Man, this song takes me back. They don't make anime like they used to back then.

[SchinkenYo]

awesome c: 

[achalter]

Wow. this is very cool =)

[fonzyman2010]

After a bad day this song calms me down...love it!

[UndercoverCracker]

Ah music like this makes one feel truly free.

[mymuffinnotyours]

I feel like peeing...

[achalter]

@mymuffinnotyours so true

[Acustic029]

Wonderful....... 

[tashawies]

Essence of sheer beauty, so touching.

[Flameshadow1010]

i remember listening to this song years back, i never found out the title, only remembered how it sounded, and that it was from Macross Plus

ahhh nostalgia

[lovidavi]

Amazing, i still remember the tune.

[SabertoothTiger911]

Where can you get this!?!?!

[Celedam]

@SabertoothTiger911 "VOICES [Acoustic Version]" from the Macross Plus soundtrack, vol 2. There are plenty of copies on Amazon, both new and used.

And if you like this, then I recommend anything and everything else by Yoko Kanno.

[ferkashi]

I love your artwork

It´s very beautiful

[hylozoik]

=,)

[FreddytheRay]

those drawings make me speechless...

[Tokuijin]

Your artwork is beatutiful and goes great with the acoustic version of this song, it said alot about you

[Windwalker1987]

hauntingly beautiful... i first heard the macross plus remix of this then later discovered the others.... its ashame some people cant hear what im listening to now through my ears...

[WistfulNotions]

shivers.

[psiXoniK]

One of my favourite songs of all time. ^_^

[HerrAmn]

This brings back memories from when I was 14, and I'd sit in my basement listening to this song on my headphones. So much nostalgia.

[Kross14]

yoko kanno is truly an artist...love ya yoko!!!

[xXsaikanoXx]

nice artwork! :)

[OokamiShiranui]

You can tell you've progressed pretty well. Good job.

[HuggumsMcgehee]

Gotta get started transcribing this.

[kujoee]

My Heart Bleeds for Yoko Kanno. Her voice is just so amazing...

[angelicSTRIFE]

@kujoee

Yoko Kanno did the music. Singer is Akino Arai. She has a really beautiful voice. I especially love Miss Akino's song Adesso E Fortuna.

[lovelydairyqueen]

*tears* ...

[OhSeamus]

I see the confusion in this comment section. The singer is definitely Arai Akino. Check out her other songs, her voice is so unique, you can't possibly mix it up... Yoko Kanno just composed the song. :)

[bladid]

@OhSeamus it's not yoko kanno. I don't have the name for the singer in this song right now but I have it somewhere on my computer ^^. anyways. as to what songs yoko kanno herself is singing, I doubt you find more than maybe 2 on the net. but she makes music and lyrics

[HuggumsMcgehee]

@bladid It's Akino Arai.

[Karami]

yes Yoko Kanno sings in some of her songs. They Gabriela Robin is the name she uses in the credits for when she sings.

[bboykory117]

I'm sure i know this voice i can't tell you who but it's not Yoko :( but she composed the song either way it's beautiful

[TaihakuKuchiki]

was ther a version of this in outlaw star

[Lightfall18]

wait this is really yoko kanno singing?! omg she sounds like a n angel

[liebeundherzschmerz]

you have a brilliant mind

[sigma941]

I love this version of voices. This song is extremely beautiful

[T4NK9]

ok, ok I heard this is a tv show/film but can't remember which can anyone help me?

[Superhrnet01]

its from Macross Plus

[rodito84]

bellisima cancion para otra obra de arte que es macross plus

[DifferentCandle]

awesome song.

ps. your surname means God Mountain (Gott = God, Berg = Mountain) it's German^^

Haha I just saw the name and wondered if you knew ;)

anyway, geez, I love Yoko Kanno. She's done so many soundtracks and they always have something... special... about them.

[XNeelixX]

you are an amazing artist :3

[nanoyang]

Ahhh... Macross Plus was an amazing anime. Everyone should check it out as this is the main theme to it.

[ImmortalRain1233]

amazing artwork who sings this? Yoko kanno is great!

[SJdood]

Artist for this song was Akino Arai (did original Record of Lodoss War and end credits for Outlaw Star), not Yoko Kanno.

Still one of my faves...soulful, contemplative piece, more than a little sad...

[FREEDOMPRODUCTIONS11]

The singer is Akino Araid...

But the composer is Yoko Kanno (and she's playing the piano).

[MyDracoIsSoCool]

@SJdood is actually is Yoko Kanno. That's how I found out about this song.

[SJdood]

You and Freedom are right....My mistake: I've heard anough of Arai-san's other work that I'd thought this was one as well.

Still the part of Macross+ that impacted me most

[Marycmuller]

Make an deviat art account!

[sk8terGrlM]

You should post these in an art community c: You'd get a lot more credit for your art on websites like those instead of here on youtube. You'd get more comments about your art than the music you used for the video c:

BTW, I love your shading, is that stippling I see?

[kaiiachan]

Love this song! What's the name of the anime?

[yujiglobe]

the name is　macross plus"

[asdlocombian]

nice art mate ;)

[isucz]

Your a beautiful artist ^^ I wish I could draw like you ^^

[viati]

una de lasmejores canciones que e oido

[viati]

exelente musica  XD, super relajante

[pinarcity]

pura belleza para el oido

[marxelo192]

me aburri mal!

[4everasinger286]

beautiful song and art

[fuaifag]

Awesome both art and song. 5/5

[Kashirocksthesocks]

yep, REALLY beautiful art!

My most favorite is in 0:28, really like it ; )

[retrocareermelted]

yokoは一番女

[Paperpockets]

Great art!

I love the breadth and execution of your styles!

[raventhemerbgirl]

anyone know a song where the whole song is the same style as the first 34 seconds?

[Hanyuuuuuuu]

hmm interesting she sounds a lil like

shimamiya eiko, higurashi OP singer

[obsidiansands]

Wow.... she almost sounds similar to Akino Arai... who sang the original version.

[yoitzrichard]

actually, it is akino arai who sings this

[ZigmaS2007]

~Yep.~

[Sqeazel]

Beautiful art to go with a beautiful song! ^^

[xindijri]

I think this is one of her very best songs ... I love the quite beginning, the harmonies and the 'becoming loader' in the middle ... and the end ... it just seems to vanish, great.

In German I'd say: WAHNSINN, DER ABSOLUTE HAMMER  :)

greets xindijri

[4everasinger286]

very beautiful art. love the song, to

[keikusanagi99]

la cancion es legendaria ye sta d epoca madre la calidad, peor pinches fotos feas, las del principio estaban chidas las demas nel

[evernight87]

great work,your pictures are very nice,i like them!

p.s.:the song is good,too:)

[TheTerrorUforgot]

Macross = launching pad for Kanno Yoko's amazing composing skill.

these paintings = the perfect dreamy fantasy backdrop for this song

Srsly, this song almost sounds like it belongs in vision of escaflowne rather than macross.

[rawritssami]

i love it.

[cupcake983]

man i remember when i first heard this song i fell in love with it instantly

[BeefisGold]

@cupcake983 Me too. I would hum it constantly, and even "sang" it to lull my little sis when she was a baby haha, good times. it's perfection.

[Nemorivarex]

Can you give me the link to down this song? It's so beautiful that I can't stop listening to it.

[blahsan13]

it was sang by akino arai and yoko kanno was the composer etc or something like that

[KingMeglion]

Your art's good enough that Voices doesn't totally distract me from it.

Good job, friend.

[Animagic4u]

Nice art.

[54spiritedwill54]

Youre amazing at art!

[kimonocat001]

lovey art, you really did all of that yourself? amazing! and i love the song too! 5/5

[calicoast58]

so beautiful I thank you

[HUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

Amazing.

[sailorfan1111]

your art is amazing! very inspirational ^_^

[yamiyugikun]

So chilling, this song is beatiful.

[orochimaru133]

Wonderfull, hermoso, nett.... SImply,perfect

[mutysoto]

simplemente hermoso

[hoganrulez]

wow all your picture are really good keep it up

[Oceianoe]

nice drawings btw , keep it up :)

[Reaper478]

yoko and akino arai did this song

[infinatedarkness22]

You're talented. I like the drawing of the fairy riding the spider alot. Such detail. It's pretty amazing. The dragons are cool too.The fairy on the hand is also really awesome.

[grinsendeFanta]

I thought AKINO ARAI is singing "Voices"  ...

[aleknicholson]

Eh, I guess it's how fickle you want to be about the whole thing I guess. I think Yoko Kanno actually wrote Voices, just Akino Arai sang it. I think Akino's being used by Yoko a few times as a hired vocalist. =]

[corcoprhat]

OMG! ITS' HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wildicon19]

Fantastic art! You have a great talent, and a good eye for detail. Yoko Kanno has a lot of amasing works for the GitS movies and both series. Her music and your art go well together.☺☺☺☺

[elphieluvs2sing]

I first heard of Yoko Kanno is when I watched the first season of The Ghost in The Shell. After that I have astounded by how beautiful and amazing her music is. I think that her music is truly inspired and really anyone can relate to even just the melodies even if they dont know the words.

[Jadzirobejus]

Words just fail to describe the gift Yoko Kanno possesses

[bakergirl09]

peaceful song I love it

[akikowolf]

where is this song from (which anime or whatever)?

[Vaniek]

Macross Plus

[Uiranddo]

well welcome to it lolz its so calming and peaceful i love it to meditate to

[sorfobos]

im starting to listen yoko kanno, really nice music, by the way cool drawings

[majocorto]

los dibujos estan feos ...pero la cancion esta hermosa .. pon otro fondo ..ya no pongas tus dibujos

[000tinus]

Youre amazing at art!

[xSilverUnicorn]

You're art is beautiful, and you could not have chosen a better song as a background. Do you have an account at Elfwood? If you don't, you really ought to. You'd be perfectly at home there.

[INT3RNAUT]

Does anyone know any other songs that are in this vain? Really soft, barely instrumental, that give off this same feeling? Thanks!

[rookie66]

listen to pearls from cowboy bebop. dijurido from cowboy bebop. la mer from nine inch nails. there's more but cant remember the names let me know if you like some more

[lavinder11]

La Mer is beautiful.

[MissAmarante]

Lovely song and lovely artwork.

[IIkingdomII]

omigosh!!! what are the cords that they use!!!! I can't figure them out!!!!!

[takeda155]

i knew it was yoko kanno when i saw that movie cuz it sounded like her

[KyojiroHeart]

Yoko Kanna composed the song Akino Arai performs it.

[mistertolerance]

oh, now i see that below are the whole lyrics... sry for being a smartass :D

[mistertolerance]

i understand only a few words but its sumthin` about the wind(kaze), light(hikari), wings(tsubasa), home(kaeru) and god(kami-sama)... feel free to piece ur own version together from these lil` shreds :) and otherwise: a WONDERFUL SONG! Simply moving.

[stomage]

Here is the lyrics of this song in English! "The first word is dream, from my sleep the darkness within my heart, it gently takes out. The second word was wind, telling me my destination. into the arms of a god I flap my wings As if counting sad things that have melted away a golden apple falls again.

[stomage]

(continuation)... A view I haven't seen there I will return in this one life I will find my way Book of old magic a drop of moon on a curtain of night only a hunch that someday we can meet we can fly, we have wings we can touch floating dreams call me from so far through the wind in the light"

[zman6033]

macross plus kicks ass thiers an english version of this song

[kamenyoi]

マクロス＋　すごい好きです！

[Checowsky]

The song is used on the film Macross Plus [Anime]

I'm sure if you use some inginuity and google you can easily find the english lyrics, they are on then film, I can remember [it's been a while] it's about a dream, where she dreams of words, "the first word I saw was wind" something like that is the first line if I recall. =) Beautiful song.

[xSilverUnicorn]

To be more specific, the song was composed specifically for the movie Macross Plus. The song itself has special significance within the story and the central melody of the piece is a motiff that is used at key points throughout the score. "Voices" would not exist if not for Macross Plus.

[sasuke0308]

beautiful :)

[carmenpsychopathic2]

luv ur art pieces, mostly the ones of pics of the landscape

[animevampirechick2]

i LIKE THE ONES WITH THE FAERIES!

[silent0shinigami]

nice work kiddo. I love it. ^_^

[Todesbengel]

Yoko Kanno's Voice is very beautiful here <3

[AshPeace]

thats not Yoko's voice

[teddybearxoxoxo]

whos voice is it then?

[withlovetacy]

Arai Akino's. She's pretty popular because of all of the animes she sings for. (Remember the Outlaw Star intro? She did that one, too!)
