なんだただの神曲か

[Nightstar113]

Does anyone know where i can purchase or download this song?

[marthhal]

@Nightstar113

You can find it in amazon:

amazon.com/Navigatoria-Akiko-S­hikata/dp/B0009N2XTE/

iTunes store sells it too, i think

[MsTHAKO]

ほんとに最高です！！

感動しました。

[katuobusineko]

神曲キターーー

しみじみと聞ける曲は最近のJポップにはないと思う　うん

[darkness0billy]

i love it

[Beatrice07th]

声たかっ！

まぢ神曲ｗ



[kabutokagi]

akiko shikata \m/, i'm her fan since umineko \m/

[FIOakaOLGA]

Found her!!!! This style is unmistakable! Heard her song on online radio and really liked it, but since I really suck at names... XD

[Innovationindexthree]

鼻ゴリラ　石津志穂でようつべ内検索したら名前に打ち消し線がついて「志方­あきこ」で検索結果が出るのはなんでだろう？

[xoxoxoLOVELESSxoxoxo]

sounds sad yet so beautiful *Q*...

i wanna play the game ToT

[tomochan38]

この曲は神曲だ。大好き♪

[Hemmingfish]

After listening to this dozens of times I finally realised the picture in the background is a girl. Jeeze, i'm observant.

[YggdrasiI]

@Hemmingfish

Hehe, it already was like this when I took it from Shikata's website.

[VirginneLargo]

@Nadyia14 So you're a bit closer :"D

[RosalieClematis]

切ない・・。

[luvpg57]

歌うま＾＾

[rinrin8695]

歌だけで泣いたのは初めてです

[Kazuka4]

間奏のギターいいわね！

[chitandael]

0:00-0:15Lyrics

Danza la felda bianca

nell'ampio ciel scherzosa

Poi sul terren si posa

Stanca

Danza la felda bianca

[34Gneo]

@chitandael I think that she actually says 'falda' and not 'felda', because, in Italian, the word 'felda' doesn't exist ^^ The translation is: Danza la falda bianca (The white flake dances) Nell'ampio cielo scherzosa (in the broad sky, playful) Poi sul terreno si posa, stanca (Then, it lays down on the ground, tired) Danza la falda bianca (The white flake dances)

[morphississ]

Eh, it's no Kiseki No Umi, but it's still pretty.

[Shyreenify]

Japanese music is so much deeper than western music. I'd love to go to Japan but I'm stuck here in Germany :(

[Mitokura]

@Shyreenify Nah, don't think like that. There's great western music out of there.

There's also horrible japanese music. There's just that you happened to find this great singer.

[ForestBalrog]

@Mitokura - I agree with you. For a long time I was stuck on that idea that only Japanese music was good, but it isn't true. There is good music and crappy music everywhere, regardless of where it comes from.

[PungPhooie]

@Shyreenify this is inspired by western music folk music you fucking weeaboo

[Turksemployee]

@PungPhooie please find a song that's like this. I'd love to hear it.

[mefiydoll]

初めて聞いたときの衝撃、三年たった今も忘れられないなぁ…。

志方さんの声って楽器みたいだ。

[TheLisdeflor]

me encanta !!!! en mi estylo de musica nunca pense que encontraria algo que me guste tanto escuchar..

[kmkn55]

好きすぎて泣ける！なぜ有名にならないのだ・・・！

[polyrhysm]

神秘的で綺麗な歌ですね。

思わず、お気に入りに入れました。

[kiraokurina]

この人は、もっと有名になるべきだと、思わないかい？最近は三流­でも有名になる人がいて困るよ・・・。こういう人こそ表に出ない­とねえ・・・

[maruumimaru]

まじ泣ける…

声キレイ!!

[tearsangelz]

My lives' mission is to able to sing this song.

[zyun018]

この曲は本当にネ申

背筋がゾっとするぐらい、綺麗な声

[TsunaHibaMuku]

[LeonWake]

[KibahinaxSasuino]

Akiko!

She has the voice of an angel.

[mayblaze]

@KibahinaxSasuino  She IS an angel

[maituna696]

[Sanctuarywithouthope]

i really like this song it sounds so nice

[Hanyuuuuuuu]

kool that girl kinda looks like Asmodeus from umineko

[ayrtonynciertosecret]

check (umineko no naku koro ni)

[mg4994]

title this song in eng pls? ;)

[Serrival]

Hanakisou- According to a translator (the one who translated the song from the source I mentioned below), it's 'Flower Funeral'. He said it could also be 'The Returning Flower', but going with the tone of the game it's the former.

[qyy920]

Actually it could not directly translate to eng. I would rather translate it as"Flower's funeral"

[TsiSgili]

@mg4994 Song's name is Hana Kisou from Navigatoria album :D

[KlmC0]

Anyone know where I could download this song?

[Serrival]

You can find the translation if you google A Reyvateil's Melody, a fanforum for the game Ar tonelico which Shikata Akiko sings for, and going to the music forum. You should see a topic called Lazy's Lyrics Translation corner, which has nearly all the songs by Shikata Akiko translated.

[Skyrius]

One of my favorite doujin songs from Shikata Akiko <3 A lot of people asked, but the lyrics were already posted further back by rinndou0602 (japanese)

[Skyrius]

The romaji lyrics are:

ate to naku tada kimi ha samayoi nagara

hie ta kokoro o furuwase ten o aoi da

shuuen no tori ga takai sora kara koki o tsuge

tozasareta sekai de bokura ha mata meguriau

kimi o ubai saru sono subete o itetsuku machi ni sute

nagai kanashimi no owaru basho he kataku te o tsunagi kakete yukou

shiroku chiriisogu hana no you ni

akaku nagareru inochi no ue ni yuki ha tome tonaku ori tsumoru

[Skyrius]

hateshinaku tsutsuku kono hakugin no michi

awaku hakanai kibou ni asu o yumemita

haru tsuge no tori ha namida no shizuku kazoe tsutsu

towa ni kurikaesareru ruten o nagei te utau

kimi o itsukushimu sono omoi ga yami o michibiite mo

tsumi ni yogore naki kokoro dake ni

ima mi o yudan ikiru

ka mi ni mihanasareta kono sekai

kazabana no mai ni tokihanatare yukidoke ni mezame hikari sasu

[Skyrius]

horobi yuku umare izuru

subete no inochi ha (inochi ha) setsugen ni saku hana

hakoniwa no chiisana hana

marude shiroi maboroshi no you ni kaze ni yurareru mama

yorokobi ni kanashimi ni kagayaite tsutsumare

toki ha nagareru

[alessandro1722]

Ack, I wish I could get translated lyrics :(

[05zero]

que buen tema, y que buena cantante, suena exelente

is a great soong, and the songer has a great voice, is exelente

[belphegorrasiel]

この曲大好き！

[Guiltnazan]

i absolutely love this song!!!!!!

[ebon51987]

dude this song is the best i

[aria0ft3hs0u1]

What's the name of the song?

[zawasio]

this song name is 『hanakisou』　in Roman alphabet.

[jonnymind]

And it means "the funeral of the flowers"

[hiji17]

wow!!! this is the result of mixing up cultruls, a delisious cocteil of every country's fruit , i'm speaking about the music ,but the singer seemed forcing her self a little bit on it ,however , still good !!!

[aria0ft3hs0u1]

Where can I find a link to get the background picture? I need that pic!

[YggdrasiI]

The pic is on her official website.

[suiryuukishi]

Actually, she wasn't forcing herself at all. It's just her style as a classically-trained singer.

[zawasio]

祝３００，０００越え！

今更ですが・・・＾＾；

[makkmin]

does someone know where i could get the lyrics? I can't find them!! >:(

[Leotaku]

i really have no idea probably Japanese sites

[o1n0e27uv]

[Falldem]

[MadGeneral]

[rebmetpes4090okuy]

この曲からゲームの『花帰葬』を知ってプレイしたんですが、その­ストーリー知ってからだとよりいっそう切ないです。

歌詞も曲調も、すごくそのストーリーをよく表現してて。

泣きそうになります。

[eirixyuu]

[luketearlover]

同名のＰＣ同人ゲームの音楽です。

[Barakakei]

花葬帰　（はなきそう）　って読みます。

[luketearlover]

不思議な曲ですが、Shikata Akiko とは何者？

[Feonalilly]

[CresentWolf]

I only like the opening of the song. they should have continued with that.

[pac72]

maravillosa musica, da igual el idioma la musica solo entiende de emociones y esta emociona el alma.

[Cieloazzurro2744]

切ないけど素敵な曲ですね・・・

[DarkRuby]

Does anyone have an English Translation to this? I really want it.

[Serinty13]

YggdrasiI thank you for the songs and they're all really beautiful and do you know a website were you can buy her albums/soundtracks if you do please send it to my email and I thank you so much

[1991natuki]

ただひたすらに切ない・・・。

このゲームの世界観を滔々と語っているのが響きます。

[aotyou]

この曲はすごく癒されます

[annayomi]

美しく透明感があって、ゲームのストーリーにもあっているいい曲­ですよね

[rinndou0602]

あてどなく　ただ君は　彷徨いながら

冷えた心を震わせ　天を仰いだ

終焉の鳥が　高い空から刻を告げ

閉ざされた世界で　僕はまた巡り会う

君を奪い去るその全てを　凍てつく街に捨て

永い哀しみの終わる場所へ　堅く手をつなぎ駈けてゆこう

白く　散り急ぐ花のように

朱く流れるいのちの上に　雪は止め処なく降りつもる

[rinndou0602]

果てしなく続く　この　白銀の路

淡く儚い希望に　明日を夢見た

春告げの鳥は　泪の雫数えつつ

永久に繰り返される　流転を嘆いて謳う

君を慈しむその想いが　闇を導いても

罪に　汚れなき魂だけに

今　身を委ね生きる

創造主(かみ)に　見放されたこの世界

風花の舞いに解き放たれ　雪解けに目覚め光さす

[rinndou0602]

滅びゆく　生まれいづる

全てのいのちは　雪原に咲く花

箱庭の　小さな花

まるで白い幻のように　風に揺られる　まま

喜びに　哀しみに　輝いて　包まれ

時は流れる

[rinndou0602]

あ、しまった。最上段に一部ミスがあります。

『閉ざされた世界で　僕らはまた巡り会う』

が正解です。すみません。

[yukitenshi123]

[morpheus447]
