"Yakousoku (約束)" English Sub Chihaya Kisaragi IDOLM@STER EP. 20 Lyrics

[chiwassu19]

Who else got the shivers when Chihaya started singing?

[BlossySnap]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIHAYA

[Mdstearless]

; A ; So pretty

[Sarlouse]

I don't know how to describe it, but this video put me in a really good mood.

[Warhawk132]

i a guy and i cried... so what.

[AdmirerofSatenRuiko]

This scene made me cry. ♡Chihaya♡

[zekiraka]

i know this part in and out and when i watch this video i do the exact same is chihaya acte the same way sing as much as her as i can with same mouth movening as much as i can to reseble her :) cuz i can ! >:D

[kaito969]

man, i miss this series soooo much!! ;_;

[pandemonstrosity]

Why do I keep clicking the replay button?

[BlackStar2204]

@pandemonstrosity Well,why not? Chihaya's voice is so beautiful.

[tshina17]

can't stop crying every time listen to this

[sameground2]

Damn ninja cutting onions Q.Q

[MrLink3315]

The courage to shed manly tears.

[XyninSolta]

Yeah, two months later and I still tear up at this song.

[tobivsdeidara124]

CAUTION do not watch if you haven't finished crying

[tobivsdeidara124]

I would have cried if my step dad wasn't in the room :'(

[darnb100]

:o RULES: guys are supposed to be tough and immovable. they're supposed to be strong and not show what they are really feeling....every guy that watched this video jusy broke all those rules

[MikuLovesGames]

As Chihaya's tears fell, so did mine T_T

[JoshuaMai1]

this anime: steped in, expected fan service. Steped out, crying like a bitch.

[GlennMagusHarvey]

@JoshuaMai1 Oh heck yes. Heck yes.

[guidomau2006]

I cry everytime.

[Anima10pontonet]

Fuck there goes my masculinity T________T

[goddamnrickli]

She now have no regrets of her past. T.T

[Miki1730]

aww... i cried when i watched this :")

[Miki1730]

wait, did they said "Sank you for smile" ?? :0

[BlossySnap]

@Miki1730 Yes, it's Engrish

[DarkAlex26]

this is the best sad song i ever heard from idolmaster made so many people want to cry

[xXMimiShesheXx]

this is so cute but at the end where the young her is everywhere creeps me out a bit but its still cute

[gotmesomenikeys]

I actually had to watch this episode twice because I couldn't hear the song and parts of the episode over the sound of me wailing into a tear soaked pillow. I then watched it a third time, just because I could.

[MsCrazymandude]

I Think Takane has a aging disorder because of her hair color

[BlossySnap]

@MsCrazymandude It's called anime.

[SoulKeeperAznMike]

OMG!!!! this is the saddest song i ever heard!

[XionKingdomKey]

i get chills everytime chikaya starts singing

[kreidas]

I have it as one of my main songs for my work day, and I also do cry a lot once this song comes up. I do have to admit that the Idolm@ster anime did open a lot of truly enjoyable things for the franchise...and people at the beginning of the anime totally underestimated it. Thank goodness they were wrong.

[LexieLuthor94]

I tried SO HARD not to cry, and I FAILED, and I couldn't STOP, but other than that I LOVE the song!

[pandemonstrosity]

I got goosebumps when Chihaya started to sing....

[SRyudo]

@pandemonstrosity That's exactly what happen to me too! (Every time she sings "Arokou'') And even I replay this vid for a hundred times...I still got it. It's a bit scary now =___=lll

[MrSethHikari]

I've seen ep 20 like 5 times and cried every single time TT^TT

[Imagown]

Big... B-big Tears!!! Oh Jeez.... TT_TT

[HDYDMC]

i thought that the part where Chihaya started singing and her hair looked really natural and her voice really stood out...... im trying my best to sing this song......too bad i only know the first few words :(

[averageasian4292]

Even after listening to this song so many times, I still imagine how amazing it would be if they recreated this event in one of their actual live concerts. Who knows? It could happen someday.......

[kreidas]

@averageasian4292 There is a very high possibility that it will be a DLC, just like Marionette:)

[kreidas]

@kreidas Oh, you meant the live concert? That is a very good possibility too:)

[Psychorror]

@averageasian4292 I'd prefer to not visit emotional trauma upon Asami Imai by killing one of her family members, if it's all the same to you.

[Chemrmnce1234]

this episode made me cry so hard i still cry watching this video D:

[SparkCT1284]

I bet the only reason I didn't cry during this part was because my tear ducts wear plugged XD

I'd say this story arc was the best of the series.

[PocketRamen]

I watched this with the snow thing on.

[VegaDeneb]

2:43 It's me or Miki hair are censored ... ?

[Demonshadow1988]

@VegaDeneb Yea thanks for pointing that out. It s got to be a very small error in the codec used with the video. I went and reviewed it in the HD version of this episode that I have downloaded and the pixelation is not there. Not sure about what else to say about it, but I think I can believe it is not there with intention.

[VegaDeneb]

@Demonshadow1988 Ok thank for your answer :)

[PeekayTom]

@VegaDeneb Didn't you know? Miki's hair tuft is considered a phallic object in Japan.

[VegaDeneb]

@PeekayTom XD

[RueYoshikuni]

I seriously cried...

after all those hardships they've been through.. at last...

[xolius]

best character development the series ever had

[BlossySnap]

The song is already out. Full ver, is 7 mins.

[Hardy123Zhao]

@BlossySnap hey, mind telling me where i can download it? msg me please and thanks :P

[Demonshadow1988]

@BlossySnap Umm anyway you could direct me to said "full version"? I have the entire episode but I can t seem to find the version of the song that you are referring to anywhere on youtube atm. :(

[vocaloidcrazy17]

anyone kno where i can get an mp3 for this?

[vocaloidcrazy17]

i cried ;___; it was so beautiful

[bastek66]

2:37 for instant awesomeness

[BossyEditorSan]

Isn't the blurred part the symbol for whatever company is broadcasting the show? Cuz it's always in that corner, it just so happened to pass by Miki's cowlick.

[kaiz97]

the version when chihaya sing is the best (the part where everyone sing is not so good)

[maychanx31]

Did anyone else cry? Because I did... T_T

[GlennMagusHarvey]

@maychanx31 Did anyone NOT cry?

[Psychorror]

@GlennMagusHarvey If I remembered how, I definitely would have.



[BlackStar2204]

@maychanx31 It's suck for me because I want to cry but can't and the feeling still staying inside me.

[LittleAwkwardPanda]

This song gives me goosebumps on my CHEEKS, you guys. Goosebumps on my CHEEKS.

[novalisk]

I think the song is coming out today. I can hardly wait, to be honest.

[peachy11100]

@novalisk i have it already.

[MyananPow]

Excellent, exquisite, outstanding, perfect, superb, epic! And I believe even those words are nowhere near enough to describe this!

[windragon379]

This was the most moving song I heard in the series, and I consider it its most captivating moment; I might have cried.

[FateDrewNear]

those that love yakusoku man good news and kudos to u guys tmr will be the day when this music be released :D

[tbpfh]

Only one word here: Awesome. Now if only we can get this series licensed Stateside (and Australia/NZ), I'll be a very happy camper. Are you listening Funimation/Madman?

[SenshiSunPower]

@tbpfh Get the games over here first!

[Treemotan]

@SenshiSunPower To be fair adapting the anime first might actually be a better move to get the games sold here. There are a lot more anime fans than imas fans in the US and if the anime piques their interest, it'd pique their interest in the game. And thus, with more prospective sales, Namco would have more incentive to release it.

[JoshuaMai1]

Manly tear was shed.

[Kuusooo]

looks even more beautiful with the snowflakes ='D

[chibiproject14]

Couldnt stop crying during this episode

[Kuusooo]

:')

[joe907]

now i have to look for hoshinota1's comment..

[DivineHyperion]

Looking forward for this song to be the next DLC.

[YuseiXAki100]

If you use the new snowflake button during this, it looks very nice and festive. :)

[aina96yui06]

why i must cry~!!! TTATT

[Rwroblewski27]

Heck im and 18 year old man.... and I cried like a 40 year old twifan that just got touched by edward.

[Aka0kami]

one of the most touching and moving movement in the show ^^

[TheAndrain]

This is truly one of the most powerful moments in Anime History.

[CatMuto]

I haven't watched any episodes, but I'm assuming the brother died and she thinks it's her fault. Eh. And Chihaya can drown out all the other idols together with her voice~!

C-A

[animefreak13ish]

I Cried and Cried and cried my parents were like is there something wrong? i was like this episode is sooooooooooooo emotional and they were like -_- and i was like you guys watch it and find out if it is a sad episode or not! they watched it and they cried too

[animezirow]

@animefreak13ish Your parents are cool. :)

[animefreak13ish]

@animezirow thanks they are cool... ha they are soo indian (cause i am too) is what i would say and they are funny too ^_^

[Yckisz]

What can I say, THE BEST!!!!!!

[UnstoppableSmooze]

Manly tears were shed

[Katy68008]

when i heard this song i got GOUSE BUMPS! i NEVER EVER get gouse bumps plus i cant spell!

[Hoshinota1]

Is it weird that I'm a 15 year old girl and I like this anime?!?

[fieryelf]

@Hoshinota1 It would be weird if you didn't :)

[Hoshinota1]

@fieryelf haha, that would be weird, but there's probably older men that like this show, too right?!?

[grizzly4agze88]

@Hoshinota1 Nah, that's not weird. I'm a 24 year old guy who watches this anime. Know whats weirder? My 32 year old colleague, who is married, watches this as well.

[Hoshinota1]

@grizzly4agze88 I know, because I said there are probably older men who watch this as well, I'm not saying that as an offense to anyone :)

[Shippoyasha]

@grizzly4agze88 Why would it be strange at all for any age? There's nowadays cases in Japan where elderly idol fans die being fans, well into their 80's and 90's.

[FateDrewNear]

@Hoshinota1 no u arent those who love idolmaster are the clever anime pickers

[PASTAAxVODKAA]

@Hoshinota1 Heck no XD I'm a 19 year old girl and I love it!

[sstellaa2]

@Hoshinota1 Not at all!

[martinicc67]

One of the best moments of this anime

[IceTehHedgehog]

I was fine up until 3:20 and then I bawled like a baby.

[JakeWazHur]

Why is miki's hair Censored at 2:43 @o@??

[20BlackNWhite]

@JakeWazHur that point in the video is censored the entire time. at 2:43 her hair is at that point.

[darkblaze435]

@JakeWazHur I wondered that at first, then noticed that exact spot is blurred the whole way through.

[SingaporeLoveItachi]

and they said that all pop is crap.....

[zipperl3]

3 unlikes.... how cruel.

:(

[blakstealth22]

I really don't like seeing this, but it's so hard NOT to watch it. ;__;

So fuckin good.

[hayshellyan]

I don't know this anime or song but the words really reached into my heart deeply

[arssctnjttayil6]

Chihaya -3 the best

[arssctnjttayil6]

I d watch this for over 20 times and I still cries every time

[arssctnjttayil6]

I love this part of idolm aster the most

[sinuca103]

i watched at the 15...and i don't watched this video till i get watch at the 20ep...and i watched at the 20ep and cryed...it's so beautiful see the brother and kid chihaya....i am a man and i cryed so much

[serina115]

Chihaya is my favorite IDOLM@STER I cried a few tears watching this video. I really need to catch up with the anime now. 

[tucole]

Ritsuko face 2:41

Ok, I cryed with this cap, really emotional 3:

[ExcellaFan]

this was amazing ☺♪♪ ♥

[XyninSolta]

Everytime I watch this it brings tears to my eyes. Thumbs up for Chihaya <3

[kyukyu2007]

細かいんだけど、

「約束しよう(yakusoku shiyou)」は

"Let's promise～"という意味なのは勿論ではあるのだけど、

「約束するであろう」という宣言の意味にも取れるんだよね。

"I will make a promise,～ "になるのかな？

千早が弟・優に捧げるのであれば、こちらのほうが

しっくりくるような気も…

まぁ何はともあれ、素晴らしい動画に感謝

[fireinthehead100]

Chills. Every. Single. Time.

This is the most beautiful thing ever.

[hanaflamehaze]

mom, I need more tissues

[1MatryoshkaMozaik21]

I will never be able to watch this without at LEAST tearing up. Ah, Chihaya just made it to my top 5 favorite idols. Tears always spring up at the first "Arukou~"...and then at the secong where Chihaya starts...don't even get me started.

[bsadhukhan]

she sang!!! i cried alot and i cried sooo much when she finally sang!!!!

[TheSinimes]

Eu choro muito quando ouço essa musica!!Ela é muito bonita!!Eu definitivamente amo The IDOLM@STER!!

[Bubbel]

I cry everytime I hear this song...is there a full version of the song without talk in it..

[DivaRizumu]

@Bubbel there will be... soon... a bit after christmas. xD

[TheSinimes]

I cried at the end!

[BackyardEpicMovies]

Never have I seen a character's spirit soar through the joy of song. Chihaya breaks down the guilt of her past and sings like a bird set free.

[OverdoseDelusionTV]

@BackyardEpicMovies Nice . . .

[mysticgohan13]

This was so beautiful. When Chihaya started singing with 'Arukou...', man that sent chills down my spine. Definitely the crowning moment for the Im@s anime.

[peachy11100]

@mysticgohan13 i have already chihaya s solo,but it is 7 minutes!

[Psychorror]

@peachy11100 Seven minutes of the most beautiful thing on Earth.

[folklore19]

I think this is the happiest expression Chihaya's ever had in this show.

[peachy11100]

this episode made my cry.and now i see,miki's BF is chihaya.at first in the ending i thought she was give makoto a hug!haha.

[Obscurites]

Although Miki is my most favorite idol, this song makes Chihaya become my "honorary favorite" idol.

[XxWaterFlowerxX]

I don't even like Chihaya that much, but it still makes me sob hysterically everytime I watch it. ;___;

[aina96yui06]

@XxWaterFlowerxX me too~! isk sik (TTvTT)b YEAH~!

[xKaisukeVermillionx]

Chihaya! Chihaya! TT^TTb

[kurainokishi]

iDOLM@STER seems pretty fine for either gender of the audience.... The fan-service is pretty tame (compared to other anime). I'm a female, and it's been pretty fun to watch iDOLM@STER. If anything, the friendship and support between the characters is the winning point. Plus these touching moments make it even more enjoyable ^^.

Back to the video, loved the episode~ I was moved by the episode; however, I never felt like crying o.o'... Then again, I don't cry that easily.

[JapanPopperDaniel]

WHY CAN'T I LISTEN TO THIS SONG WITHOUT CRYING?

[asma77drleen]

biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig like

[brainhack]

That episode made me cry like a baby.

[Demonshadow1988]

*Spoilers* episode 21 does not top this song (they probably never will) but two big things take place that make it all the while a good episode. Go watch it!

[Bubbel]

Witch one is Ryo Akizuki

[Frazzle48]

@Bubbel Ryo isn't in this video. She is one of the Dearly Stars along with Ai and Eri. The group singing is 765 Pro.

[Treemotan]

@Bubbel Not in this episode. He appears in an earlier episode as a cameo, but isn't part of 765 Pro. He's part of 876 Pro.

[EnzoCroft]

It's amazing how much better an episode can seem when they go from problems like, "I want to be girly, and I need to treat my pets better." to " I sing for my little brother that died." Man the build up for the climax at 2:35 is nothing short of amazing, you knew it was coming but man, so awesome. Anyone with a close sibling can relate fully with this episode. I have no idea how they will make a better episode then this one. One of the greatest moments in Anime IMO.

[manbearpigsereal]

Excellent.

Haven't watched something this good in a LOOONG time

[aina96yui06]

i'm crying..... isk...isk... it was so sad...

[evan250592]

Super Wimpy Song

DUDE!

[Dimension252525]

I cry in this chapter

[KyikoFoxgirl]

Can someone post the romaji lyrics of this song somewhere?

[The18jaarofouder]

this had a giant impact on me, the last time i cried was 7 years ago at the ending of harry potter one i thought i lost my emotion but i found it back and im a guy just for says sake

[Vetrion70]

Chihaya is always my favorite character. The episode and song just make me love her more. Now to wait for the song to be available.....

[Browmkey]

Even after watching this clip again, it still send chills down the spine.

[Vindrael]

The full version (hopefully) of this song will be available on ANIM@TION MASTER 06, which will be on sale by columbia jpn on December 28'th this year.

[thunderdraco]

those were some thick tears lol

[setsuna577]

who's the one who disliked this video? they probably cant admit that they cried to this

[klong977]

@setsuna577 obviously president Kuroi

[RynerLute08]

Oh my! Can't stop my tears from fallin!!

[somecupcake]

Since this episode came out I have been learning on every instrument I own. <3

[Vindrael]

i think they blow 40% of their total budget for this episode. it's as clear as day they put lot of effort here especially for the song (yes i cry every single time i hear this ^_^)

[PeachAndYoshifan1000]

damnit doki fansubs has iM@S MIA

[TheParuProject]

@PeachAndYoshifan1000 Chibiki subs iM@S pretty quickly, go for their stuff.

[Dimly71421]

I haven't even watched the anime, I don't even know the story, and I still cried. That's how amazing this is.

[LeoOfDreams]

@Dimly71421 same here T____________T

[MrSethHikari]

@Dimly71421 if you watch the anime, and if you watch the episode 20 im 99%sure ull be crying like evryone, ill admit i cried :p

[raiinbowstarsstudios]

Okay. I admit it. I bawled like a baby watching this episode from beginning to end. This episode ironically aired the anniversary of my younger sister's death about fifteen years ago. Chihaya became my favorite iDOLM@STER character after this episode entirely.
