The correct harmony needs a 7th chord under the 'naruno hi' part...not to be a pedant, but this song is PERFECT and any deviation means losing some of the magic.
who cares if she`s half japanese or if the chords aren`t perfect you dingleberrys. she is beautiful and has a beautiful voice. and probably has more talent than all of you put together.
My dad used to sing this to me all the time.. I love it and she did a wonderful job! Years ago I wanted to hear this song in English and "taste of honey" sang an English version of it. The English version helps with the closing of the "LOVE STORY....
I have seen this 48 times, hurts my jaw every time as it falls loud and hard on my floor - you and this creation/cover of a beautiful song are true gifts
This is beautiful. I am a Japanese citizen who has grown outside of Japan my entire life. When I watch this video, you remind me that I am Japanese just like you, and we should remember where we come from. Thank you Kina :) - Keep "Singing" with your head up!
@iHannahE That's how I felt! Searched and searched. An exchange sang it in choir class in highschool and I have always loved it. The tune has stuck with me since then. She had a gorgeous voice also and it haunted me!
Kina is so talented, I can't even tell how much! She sings, she plays guitar, she plays piano, she knows japanese language and she is like so energetic!!!! I love u, Kina♥
What does she have to be sad about? With her looks, she's probably getting guys' phone numbers left and right.
It's those guys who should be singing this song :) .
But then again, if they did, I would never hear her amazing voice, and then I would be sad. Then I would be singing this song, and then I would be even sadder since I know I could never sound as amazing as her. But how would I know if I never heard her if those guys sang instead?... :/
Hi everyone, If your reading this, thank you very much. I am a college student who has taken two years off my education in order to pursue my music career. I am buying new audio equipment, an HD camera and everything i need to bring out the best of me.
All I ask is for the people reading this to please give it a thumbs up. A few clicks can really change my life and give me what i wanted so long so much.
In the United States "This Land Is Your Land" is sung as a second national anthem. Even Russia "Катюша" are loved from the people as a second national anthem. The anthem of the second Japan guess this song. Decided that the national anthem is not a RDS remember us unawares, during the sad and painful, their courage-to combative to humming a song. Me reminding me hope-that song.
I'd surely at Japan until when this song is by all Japanese singing is.
This was the first song presented to me by my Japanese girlfriend when I was transfered to Japan from Malaysia in 1984.......Love you all Japanese humble people whom had help me during my stay there.....thank you
Beautiful version of the song.
