Himeka - さよならソリティア/Sayonara Solitaire

[junjunjunja]

なんて感動的なすばらしい歌だ。

ありがとうございます。

Thanks.

[Reikachan60]

she has a beautiful voice

[HollyNihon]

She is at the level of Maaaya Sakamoto.  Absolutely amazing!!

[Rezzmari]

I do like this and no offense, but I like the original more. However, HIMEKA has a lovely voice. ^-^

[xtothez2006]

marry me !

[Grifychan]

I admire her so much, trying to become a singer in Japan, being a gaijin, is a huge challenge! But she can do it, she has a beautiful voice and a perfect Japanese accent, fight HIMEKA!

[bobbygainsbourg]

She certainly is someone very inspiring!

[DotEpic]

Wow... this song is so amazing, everything about it is just filled with beauty and brilliance! I actually prefer this acoustic version to the original, thumbs up if you agree!

[Hareemakanupal]

I'm Himeka fans now,i love the original version of this song and love it even more when Himeka sing this song!!! ^^

[cookie4me]

When I listen this, throughout the song I go through 3 stages. First. I'm in awe of what she's done with herself. Second. I enjoy the song, close my eyes and drift on her voice... Third. I feel like a piece of crap because I will never achieve anything like this. :) But I love her nonetheless.

[TheHimeka123]

:D

my name

[maning04]

I'm officially a big fan of her! :D

[tocnurick]

esta cancion la escuche por primera vez en el anime de chrono crusade

[MsTetrisblock]

I love the original one but... I like this one better :D

[TheGentledawn]

Hey, is this song her's or kajiura's? now I'm confused

[Naturerocks411]

@TheGentledawn This is just a cover~ The original artist is Saeko Chiba.

[TheGentledawn]

@Naturerocks411

yeah I figured...

but although saeko chiba sings it, music and lyrics were both writen by Yuki Kajiura

[urmaster05]

out of all the song she cover, I gota say im loving this one the most! Just some notes that she hits that makes me go yeaaaahhh awesomeee

[kuripangui]

¡Su voz es preciosa!

Me enamoré.

[KIWHANK]

amazing

her japaness so great!

[Goldarcanine]

Omg I already LOVE the original version, but this version made me cry...so beautiful!

[KawaiiHittchan3]

she sings it a few keys higher lol and ya kno what? its not bad at all lol

[dewert2]

this version is better than the original. much gentler without the drums and percussion

[JuliaRussianKitten]

This song brings you into a fantasy world...

[sandykanwai]

Have a very nice voice ^^

Somehow if she sang it a bit more softer it'd be great in my opinion

But I think I like Saeko Chiba's original song more ahaha ^^;;;

[TokioHotelVampireLuv]

wow! if i didnt see her pic i would have never have guessed she wasnt japanese

[magicalkoala]

amazing anime (chrno crusade) and this is SUCH a good cover of the original singer!!!!

[riyunah]

This is the last song she sang in her mini-concert at Otakuthon. ;A;

So saaaadddd...I wish she comes back to Quebec in the future. ;A;

[ToxicMonkies]

My hero. <3

[Miyako12Natsu]

Himeka is amazing, how she can sing so much songs much better than basic singers! ♥

[sweet2sarcasm]

This girl has a beautiful voice, and no one can say otherwise. Her japanese is also good, so this is a pretty song with a sweet cover. I prefer the original myself, it's more emotional, but this is very good.

[WolfPrincess478]

I personally don't like her cover of this song >.<"

I dont feel any feeling in her version... =/ But thats just me...

It is very pretty though.

I like the original better by Chiba Saeko.

[sergel02]

i hope some crazy ppl stop bashing her or saying she's bad just cuz she's not Japanese. Music is universal. and she is great. I don't listen to a ton of Jpop artists, out of how many there are, but she is definitely one of them.

[allthatishere]

@sergel02 I agree with you that music IS universal, and its kinda sad that alot of people don't realize/understand that. If i haven't looked her up i would've never known she wasn't Japanese, as if that would've mattered anyways. This cover was beautifully done!

[TahaneyFlamme]

I saw her concert at Otakuthon and I was about to cry when she sang that song. I'm so proud of her, she is an example of what us canadian otaku are capable of, and she is such a sweet and lovely person...

[harryXoXmeXoXpotter]

@TahaneyFlamme i was there 2! :D she's awesoooome! :3 and such a sweet girl ^^

[TahaneyFlamme]

@harryXoXmeXoXpotter

Totally! I hope she'll have a lot of success in Japan, she deserves it!

[harryXoXmeXoXpotter]

@TahaneyFlamme :D

[BuffyChanx3]

She inspires me, possibly everyone who comments on here to just go for their dream. No matter what. C:

[0001balletdancer]

I just love her voice, it's soft and melodic, just like an angel!

She can show us, that we can follow our dreams, no matter where we are!

[syubunnkinn]

民主党は日本のアニメ産業を破壊します。

[Kawanimation]

She sure has got a very beautiful voice. It's great to see that she made it, just as other Canadian people has. Just take a look at Monkey Majik. :) 

[0001balletdancer]

I love her voice.

By goal is to be a manga-ka in Japan =D

[goondon]

good voice

[bubblerei]

a voice like an angel! bravo himeka!!!

[TENSHl]

whoah her voice. its weird and very very very unique and gorgeous WOW!!!

[LanFeaR86]

She has a very beautiful voice :)

[AnimeEpisodesDutch]

I remember her name. I think I was subcribed to her. I'm glad she came this far. :)

[Bandoreddo]

Hmm..Did her pitch just slipped in some parts of the song? o.o?

[kawaiisuzuka]

isn't that the ending from chrono crusade?

[rtruong3]

@kawaiisuzuka Yup!

such a good anime too :D

[LadyYuina12]

@kawaiisuzuka Yes it it. Himeka's version is very beautiful. But I like Miss Chiba's version as well. ^^

[LadyYuina12]

@LadyYuina12 Oops, meant "it is".

[TempaKamolie]

does anyone have a piano sheet for this cover? loved it!

[xCannibalism]

I remember listening to Himeka's covers when she only had a youtube account.. I still love her! :D

[Castrophii]

@xCannibalism Me too :D I remember her even replying to one of my comments! To think she'd go so far. I'm so proud of her :D

[naomileilanii]

i also hope that once her Japanese becomes better, she will eventually advance to acting industry.

[naomileilanii]

i love her voice. she sings very well, and does well in Japan.

[robosamarai24]

she's so inspiring!! *tearing up*

i look up to her as a role model!

[SnickerzAnime14]

Is this just a cover of Saeko Chiba's song... or did Himeka sing it first O3o

Love her version~ ^o^

[sangoloved]

Saeko Chiba sang it first for Chrno Crusade

[IAmAMysteryPerson]

I have to say, wow. She speaks Japanese very well, although I'm a little surprised. If you practice Japanese everyday, EVERYONE could be like her.

So a French-Canadian can become a Japanese singer? Okay, she has moved me. After knowing her, I think I still could continue my dream to Japan like her XD

Thanks, Himeka.

[kkaixi]

@IAmAMysteryPerson

That's exactly what I thought. XD

[EternalxBlack]

can some give the download link????

[mehdidjadir]

nice a canadian that sing japanese :P

me im going to be the best mangaka in the world and im from canada >=D

[sangoloved]

I absolutely love this song :) But is this song also in this anime?

[sangoloved]

@sangoloved I mean Senjou no Valkyria. I know its in Chrno Crusade.

[x1Bella1x]

I REMEMBER ... when she used to be just a normal youtube blogger posting her songs here still dreaming to become a japanese singer. she was torn between what her parents wanted her to do and what she wanted to do. i miss those old days listening to her covers. im so happy for her that she finally achieved that dream of hers <3

[Choklad4]

She's awesome! o_o :D

[animefreak426]

so beautiful that i wanna cry!! DX its just soooo beautiful

[lampdevil]

It's... so sweet and sad. T_T

[BSW0048]

This song always softens and makes my heart ache. Absolutely beautiful. Just breathtaking. (Personal Message: I miss you, i hope you will see this one day, my comment. My heart will always carry an special place for you. Always and forever)

[NinjaWolfess]

Ditto. btw, You're adorable xD

[tojichan1048]

千葉さんのも聞いたけど、悪くはなかったけど、やっぱこっちかな­vv

[Xjustin3009X]

Ahhh, I wish there was an instrumental of Himeka's version D: It's so beautiful!

[cutiegaby05]

Bravo! tu es vraiment bonne! lâche pas!

[YasashiiTemari]

きれいな青い目だねー。やっぱほんとにきれいな歌声だね！

[pipomaomy]

やっぱり上手いですね。

[karen00eva]

ひめたん大好きお(´・ω・｀)

[YurikiTsukimori]

Not that i want to comment too much but her voice is much more suited to sing soprano...The original ver of this song was added with more feelings of sadness,this one sounds very ... um,i guess i would call it a little less feelings in it.But still,her voice is good.

[BelYaun]

Agreed, more like Adesso e Fortuna

[x1Bella1x]

Himeka-san used to have a youtube account but she deleted it - frustrated with the decision of being a japanese singer or a college. I'm so happy she finally became what she wanted to be. She made wonderful covers while she had an account here. (:

[4XleafXcloverX]

pretty...

[gustaphX]

is beautiful but i like more the version that appear in Chrono Cruzade

[Shiruvan93]

errr I gotta agree on the ''she's an angel that came from Canada to Japan'' thing. seriously.. unbelievable

[Cyral189]

It makes me proud to be a Canadian, to have a girl from Canada who has succeeded in her dreams to become a singer in Japan, beautiful song. Brings a tear to me eye.

[amydanisha]

believe me if I could I would be buying a lot of things including her cd.... Her voice is so rich so good!!! I love her voice!!!

one problem... Why the hell do I have to live in Colombia, it's already difficult to get anime in southamerica and it's even worst in colombia T-T I want her single T-T!!!! WHYYYY!!!????

[satoumituo38]

Himeka is an angel who came from Canada to Japan.

[GonzalesPaco1980]

@satoumituo38

Indeed

[elpheal]

so beautifuL!!!!

[DANILEE94]

her voice is so clean and...and...WOW O_O

[himekafan2009]

I cry when I'm listening to this song... Solitude is called in my heart. . .

[jyeh0429]

Maybe you got the point, probably our Canadian angel sings this song with that mood.

[LolitaLisa96]

I like listening to her version of this song. It's not that high, so I can sing along! :)

And she puts such emotion into it, it's lovely. ^//-//^

[EnchantixEnergy]

her voice has so much emotion!!! it gives the song another feeling and meaning to it!!!

[SRX4SLY]

ぱっと見さよならリアディゾンに見えた

[onepiec3]

beautiful vocals. extreme nice control and vibrato. just fantastic really T_T

[KayuraYukishiro]

Her voice is so beautiful... She made all otaku-singer dream come true! XD Ganbatte ne, Himeka-sama!

[YuuKaShiKi]

yeaaahh!! <3

this version awesome too (T^T)

<3<3<3

[cuteameri]

[shoeythoughts]

Very different from the original, but both versions are excellent.

Himeka's cover is beautiful and heart-wrenching.

[DrakeHunter93]

Eh.........isn't this chrono crusade ed them...

[JenniKim3190]

Yay! I bought her CD and I'm loving it all (well, it's only three songs, one being the instrumental), but nonetheless I love it ^_^

[Naturerocks411]

oh.. only 3.. oh well.... If it has the instrumental, I'll be fine with a CD with only 3 songs XD!

[kaithychan]

I can't wait for her album to come out! I'm pretty sure she'll make an album... she's such an amazing singer =O!

[ichikichan95]

O___o

isnt sayonara solitaire from chrno crusade?

[Naturerocks411]

Yep.. this is Himeka's cover XD!

[unaanguila]

She makes me so proud. To have the guts to go with empty hands, following her dream and turn it in reality.

[L3g0la5]

absolutely beautiful cover. I liked the original but Himeka's version has made me totally fall in love with it.

[Darkwhite95]

i've saw her name on one of the

comments on a video on youtube..

then i started searching her up..

and whoosh!

i'm a fan of her now ^^

[BlueNiagra]

Oh man, I had the shivers. HIMEKAs just wonderful.

[rollcanja]

simply, da best. :) go HIMEKA! :)

[r3animat3dbeat]

quite nice ~ though I think she sounds way better with more 'powerful' songs ~

i liked a lot of her cover songs [from her private home recordings]

[heaveninlove2]

agree on her home recording ^_^....

[ElenielAnira]

Beautiful cover... was this also the ending song for chrno crusade? Good choice :)

[MiharuFroggy]

i really loved this cover. i've always loved the original too. i'll cover this song myself too!

i also hope she'll release more and more songs whenever she can!

[Soldatoflife]

I already bought her new CD, just waiting that it arrives through post :P

[Naturerocks411]

Do you know where to get the CD?
