[67yroldhobo]

[67yroldhobo]

i know this song by heart!!!!!

[1U1N2N43]

her accent isn't perfect. but i could understand her Japanese and like her voice^^

[Tabbywolfsong]

I remember this, she did really good. ^ ^ I can't remember if I was a Freshman or a Sophomore at this time but I really admired her singing in Japanese. Loved it.

[tokiomoon2]

naraku no hana is my faifuret song

[DecapitatedKittens]

How didn't I know about this? D:

I go to that school!  Blah. Opening to my favorite anime too.

I need to pay attention more. Was she at the talent show this year?

[TheShortSide]

um... she was saying anata ga.. wasn't it anata wa ? I never really payed attention to the song but I always did hear that part and am pretty sure it was wa not ga o.o

[HaleyHorror69]

She is Simply AMAZING. I wanna meet her at onicon this year:P

[coroixiwa]

[yumesouseiji]

[Saritatsu]

She should cosplay as a touhou charecter sometimes.

[miruko31]

this song is hard to sing, but you sang it really good! I love it. <3

[Kattyrui]

I love singing in Japanese but I am much to scared to do that in front of people at school because they might think I'm weird..for..not speaking...English u.u"

[LxLelouch01]

So brave!!!!~

[ReynaAnita1]

[rikaLOVER787]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! YESS!!! i know its hard to beleive but i did this same exact song At school show once! (only difference is i am a guy and i use a lower voice because i obviously can't do that XD) anyway GREAT JOB, i absolutly love higurashi! and this is the best! if she likes higurashi's music i would recomend doing "Dear you Hope from higurashi"

[shinofan125]

Did she win? Well, if you could win in this.

[velveetaah]

Nope she did not win this time- But it was still fun to participate.

[shinofan125]

Aww, dang! She was so good.

[TheOudou]

She has very cute voice!

By the way,I heard she want to learn Japanese.

...so, I have just posted "Naraku no Hana" Japanese Romaji.ver (with meanings of Japanse words), please check it-!

(i wonder it's useful or not, though... ^^)

[velveetaah]

Oh yes She really would like to learn Japanese!! Thank you for posting this song with the words! It is very helpful for her!! You are great to do this!!

[XxIHeartRyuzakixX]

I would never have the courage to sing at my school!

[velveetaah]

She loves to do the talent show. But I could never have done that either when I was young

[Phrtivi]

Maxine is cool. I enjoyed her singing in this video.

The video is stereo but only left channel have sound. (I know because I am listening with headphone)

[velveetaah]

Unfortunatly my camera only picks up with one speaker- 12345mino posted a video response to this-- he fixed the audio in it to sound 100X better!! Super nice of this youtuber don't you think?

[xxRitsukaxAoyagixx]

she sounds very nervous at parts but she definitely has alot potential i am so happy fro her to get a try at americas got talent so she can show britain that we have it too!

[velveetaah]

Aww thank you- unfortunatly she was very nervous on her audition. they didn't let anyone use music so she was really thrown off by that- it was a good expirence though

[thatthingoverthere]

Love this anime :D

It was all creepy. And... *smiles at all the bleeding*

AGH CREEPY MOMENT *shot*

She has a nice voice ^^ Just going too high at parts.

[velveetaah]

She loves the gore also!! I just picked up the first two mangas for her. Thanks for you great comments on Maxine's videos

[anyanime1]

it's so nice to see more people intrested in anime^^ GREAT JOB ON THE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[velveetaah]

Thanks so much. It is nice to see that anime is really getting popular here

[KarinYAY]

Doesnt the people watching this think its awkward listening to a american girl singing a foreign language song at a high school talent show? O_o

[velveetaah]

The young people in the audience loved it- the old ones- I think were confused- LOL

[Zerixkun]

Wow... Just wow. And a song from my favorite anime too! Although, she's ten right? Has she seen Higurashi no Naku Koro ni!? Or does she just like the song?

Either way, I'd love to hear her rendition of you! (or Dear you as people insist on calling it) Amazing, really.

[Zerixkun]

Oh, wait, she just turned eleven AND we have the same birthday. What a coincidence!

[velveetaah]

Yes she loves this anime- slasher girls and all!! LOL She has even cosplayed as Rena Rika Shion and Mion. I think she about knows "YOU" and will do that song sometime. Thanks for the comment!!

[BeingMeIsFineWithMe]

LOVELY DRESS! and amazing voice for a 10 year old! She should visit Japan sometime in the future! it is very exciting! XD

[velveetaah]

Oh My that would be very exciting for Maxine to visit Japan!! She has made some friends there and it would be the best if she could meet them in person too. Thanks for your comment- I like her dress also-

[VocaloidNekoChan]

But Maxine is 11 years old,why is she singing at a high school?

[velveetaah]

The school choir and also the dance team do talent shows every year as fund raisers for them. Anyone school age can audition for it. It's $10 to try out. And they also charge an admission to get in to watch the show. the money goes to prizes and the rest to the organization. It is very popular and a good way to raise some funds for the school clubs- don't you think? Much better then trying to sell cookie dough door to door. I think more schools should do this!!

[xxxhighsidingxxx]

she sings verry well in japanese!!

her pronunciation is clear...how did she study japanese?

my friends are still can't speak japanese....they are living in japan over 5 years but still can't. lol

she should teach them how to study japanese quickly...

keep enjoy singing!!

[velveetaah]

Thank you for the great comment. I do have to say though that Maxine understands only a very little Japanese. She just listens to the songs until she learns the words by their sound. Someday I think she will really study the language because she loves Japan so much and wants to someday visit there.

[sydsnap]

your daughters in high school she looks younger then me D:

[velveetaah]

She is 10 actually- In 5th grade- This show is done yearly as a fund raiser for the high school choir. Anyone in the school district can audition for it.

[sydsnap]

i see :o

[12345MINO]

It is terrible and good. It is ..only left .. regrettable. aiso small the sound. I try to take, to edit, and to listen.

[velveetaah]

You did a great job of remaking this!! Please don't take it down!!! i love it!!

[12345MINO]

Thank's!!  Velveetaah sann.

[Lemit]

She sounds so professional. O___O!

[velveetaah]

Thank you- this is one of my favorites. It is really just luck that it fits in her voice range

[Cmyers92XD]

still cant get over the voice its so perfect

[Ragnarok4eva]

Its good that Maxine doesnt panic when she is on stage

[velveetaah]

She's pretty familiar with "this" stage at the high school. She was lucky to get parts in a couple plays the high school drama class performed. "Sound of music" and "Cinderella". All the older students were so nice to her and she learned so much.

[otakukoas]

A little shaky camera work at one point, but that was a good song =3.

[velveetaah]

sorry that was pretty bad camera work- I can't even blame it on my husband this time- It was me ~:(

[lLoveRainingDays]

OMG i love than song xD altho i dont remember from where oh and that dress is cute :) is it from an anime or just a normal custom made dress?

[velveetaah]

oh the songs is from "Higurashi" (I might have spelled that wrong). I like this song to.

It took her forever to choose this dress- it has nothing to do with anime though just one off the rack she liked.

[lLoveRainingDays]

:O ic so that how it is xD nice dress tho haha

[illusenrox91]

Sugoi...Great job Maxine! <3

[velveetaah]

thanks for stopping by with the great comment!!

[beatles6love]

She is sooooo good! Hey i was also wondering... what editing program do you use?

[velveetaah]

Thanks!! I have "Pinnacle Studio 10" program I purchased it years ago so I could put video from my vhsc camera on my computer. It works ok has some fun features and all- but one day I hope to crawl out of the dark ages and go digital with a new camera. I'll probably keep using my "studio" program to edit-- It's pretty easy to use.

[beatles6love]

Cool! D oyou remember how much it was?

[velveetaah]

I think it was just under $100 then. I got it at BestBuy. It has a piece that you connect your A/V cables from your input source to and then to your PC's USB port. to "capture" your footage. It has some glitches but tech support at Pinnacle is pretty good at helping out. It has given me fits at times but we have bonded-LOL

[MagikSalem]

She's such a good singer ^^

[velveetaah]

Always great to get your comments!! MagikSalem Thank you!!!

[malikos]

=o awesome good job maxine :)

[velveetaah]

Thanks so much malikos !!!

[TacticalW]

Really well sung :D

[velveetaah]

Thanks for the nice comment!! This is a favorite on mine

[foxxyrin]

This is gorgeous! This is one of my favorite songs, and Max is wonderful at singing it!

(I love her dress too!)

[velveetaah]

Thank you- You're to nice really!! Dress shopping-- GURRRR- tried on so many before she chose this one. She hardly ever wears them. But I can usually convince her to wear one for the school talent show (if it's new) sighs...

[Alphonse246810]

:D total awesomeness

[velveetaah]

Thank you so much for your nice comment

[12345MINO]

ひぐらしのなく頃に　解　「奈落の花」ですね。

This song is "Higurasi no Nakukoroni" Naraku no Hana. I think of Quality of voice of Max for animation songs. Please sing more.

[velveetaah]

This one is my favorite -as it fits in her voice range. Of course Maxine also loves the anime "Higurasi". I hope sometime, she will sing "YOU" from this anime,

[Magazanga]

Maxine could totally be an idol.

[velveetaah]

Aww you are to nice to say that!! this is really just a lucky song for her- it fits well in her voice range. Of course the fact she likes it so well helps alot :)
