[HumbleOtaku]

layton fan over here!!!

[DKkiaDK]

wow her voice is amazing. She doesn't sound like all the pich voiced japanese girls.

[yamba01]

Doesn't anyone else find that picture hideous???

[TheCrystalwhiteAngel]

@yamba01 WHAT?! This is a beautiful picture with a beautiful song!

[TheCatlover192]

@yamba01 I think it would be better if there was no smoke in her face. It makes her look older.

[monella951]

I love this song...

Professor Layton <3

[barcafan212]

2 people have never played professor layton :(

[jaktie123]

im not chinese i wonder what se says :D

any 1 knows tell me plz

[PlzCallMeAnything]

@jaktie123 I'm chinese and this song doesn't sound like chinese... It sound like Japanese, cause I here words that are obvious Japanese words.

[LeilaisCRAZY12]

@PlzCallMeAnything It is Japanese.

[jaktie123]

its awsome but if i must be honest i like the iris more you know without thevoice i agree that her voice is verry special but well my opinion :)

btw professor layton player :)

[PlzCallMeAnything]

@jaktie123 I also like the instrumental type. The one played at the end of the professor layton game is also the instrumental type.

[yokoikuta]

このジャケットのアルバムには、この曲は入ってないですよね？　この曲がすごく好きで、てっきり入っているものと思っていたので­残念です。　しかもこのアルバムにはDVDがついているとスレで見たのですが­・・・ついてませんでした。。　でも、これはとてもいいアルバムだと思います。　

[drewandproductions]

Professor Layton (:

[HeAdBaNgEr3597]

she has a very unique voice. i love it.♥

[Atemlover527]

Every time I hear the refrain, I think she's saying "Italy, aru."

This amuses my Hetalia fangirl. X)

[Zeerozae]

@Atemlover527 PASTA!!!

[xNekoNadiax]

reminds me of my past... single teer...

[molgera3]

@xNekoNadiax Single Manly Tear... Followed by many more Single Manly Tears.

[ReinaTheBulbasaur321]

[44regie44]

[emurphy66]

[corinaluver]

[emurphy66]

@corinaluver Yeah, thats the name of the band...

[corinaluver]

@emurphy66 um no haha. even google it. thats her stage name

[rinkufan11]

I almost started crying just listening to this~ Such a pretty voice! ;A;

And obviously I'm not the only one that thinks of Professor Layton. <333

[bragofan4]

i adore this song such a beautiful voice

[gabomandela]

push here all fans of profesor layton

The rails of the train pull up to a new town. I wish you could know that this sacrifice was to make it better now.

If I could remake the word “goodbye” into a song, that tune would spark the thought of you each time. Wherever I gone.

I find that the sceneries of unique kinds always carry that same warm feeling color that always glints across my mind

Whenever I am with you I feel that warmth! Who knows? Maybe a box can carry love. For me the memory’s enough.

[KenChanCake]

I find that the sceneries of unique kinds always carry that same warm feeling color that always glints across my mind

Whenever I am with you I feel that warmth! Who knows? Maybe a box can carry love. For me the memory’s enough.

You know what they say, “Can’t try to win without taking a risk.”

And so I wait here for the light to come back to me as if by some kind of magical happening

[KenChanCake]

Pain I still bear now was born from these old memories, and still, there won’t be a way to restore or so that’s what I thought before.

You had left me alone with our little deal. If you were here I’d tell you I’ve kept it my dear.

Although I know you’re gone I still look at my clocks, hoping you’ll return but I’ll keep my love in my box

When you and I would hear our love song we were sure that nothing could go wrong.

At times I still manage to sing our special romantic melody

[LeilaisCRAZY12]

I want a translation!

[KenChanCake]

@LeilaisCRAZY12 It’s just now that I realize you understood a great thing about me that I never could

I had believed that we would be meeting again, but at last I parted hands from my dear friend

The window of this train is a frame for the scenery that had came

Calmly, calmly, everything begins to replay outside on the display

From you to me, me to you, we verified what we believed to be the meaning of life was reflecting from our eyes

[Amymodigan]

PERFEITA :"(

[Zeerozae]

I never knew there was a professor Layton song with vocals!

[AntMan9751]

@Zeerozae The Japanese version of Unwound Future and the Specter's Flute's ending songs have Japanese vocals

[kamehameha2047]

@Zeerozae Apart from the 1st one, all the Layton games have vocal songs which play during the credits roll. 2nd game has this song, the 3rd has Jikan Ryokou by Ann Sally, 4th has Paxmaveiti by Yuko Ando, and the 5th has Mysterious Flower by Yumi Matsutoya.Except so far Nintendo, who publishes the series outside Japan, has chosen to replace them with instrumental versions.

[ScrappedRose]

I LOVE Professor Layton. I randomly bought it b/c I thought it looked fun, now it's one of my favorite games ever! The first one wasn't that sad, but the second one made me cry. I really, really want Unwound Future....

[Peshkatz]

@ScrappedRose unwound future is really sad at the end

[LeonWrightHearts]

@ScrappedRose So you really want Unwound Future...

Prepare a big, giant tissue box.

[Lotto15719]

@ScrappedRose If you do want it, tissue's are mandatory. Unless you want a wet DS(i (XL))

[muddyrudderME]

Haha, I know I'm behind, but I just finished that game today :)

I was like, "OOOOOH MY GOSH! THIS SONG IS SO PRETTY...." And here I am <3

[dgraymanfetish]

herp? Professor, is there a professor in the house!?

[Lauren9339]

@HgMorbi lmfao!!! just mastered the game hahahaha....so funny

[TheBlueWigglytuff]

Easily one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life right here D:

[Roby2j18]

[vincent314ljm]

superbe musique de tous les temps, une grande inspiration et une grande créativité

[AnthonyTheAwesome500]

[345takashi]

when i finished the game i couldn't resist to repeat the ending to hear the song again :"D

[OlympiaOverdrive]

i cried at the end of the game. it fit so perfectly!

[KaseiHikari]

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. ;___; I almost cried the first time I heard it.

[Elricchasers]

[ashleyakamiles127]

Arigato! Such an amazing song.

[Lolzagirl]

sniff,sniff,why didn't they do an english version,I luv this song, just finnish the game,so sad but happy.

[1965tomotomo]

I translated this Japanese song to English.

I am Japanese, and my skill of composition in English is very bad.

So, this translation may be felt very strange.

Someone! Please translate more sophisticatedly!

[oopssterpo]

@1965tomotomo thanks a bajillion :D ...and i disagree, your english really isn't that bad at all :) translations can never completely make sense or sounds as good compared to the original language :S thanks for your time and effort :)

[1965tomotomo]

@oopssterpo Thank you very much for your comment.

I think so. It is very difficult to translate adequately.

Especially the difference between Japanese and English( or other European language) is very large. I want to get good translation skill some day.

[oopssterpo]

@1965tomotomo Gambatte! ....something along the lines of good luck and try your best right? :D ....would that be something people actually say...not in dramas or anime? :S

[1965tomotomo]

@oopssterpo Arigato!( Thank you!) Gambari masu! (^.^)

[1965tomotomo]

--N0.1-- anata no hou ga --

You know more than me that which I have been treasuring.

Believing I will see you again, I parted from you without promise.

The train window is a frame of the sight that starts flow.

It starts to project the beginning gently.

Watching each other strongly, we confirmed the reason to live together.

The pain which is living still now in my heart is a memory or an oath itself.

[1965tomotomo]

--No.2-- anataga oita yakusoku --

I am protecting the promise which you have left here.

Even if we can't mutually meet any longer, I will keep it in my box.

We loved same song by each sense.

The melody sounds and goes far away along the long way of time that passes.

I realized that the same colors are shining in the different sight.

So, sensing the warmth of your back to my back, I will be able to live with your memory forever.

[1965tomotomo]

--No.3-- ushinawazu ni wa --

An idea of "We cannot go ahead if we don't lose something" waits to be solved like a magic.

[1965tomotomo]

--No.4-- tetsuro no saki o tadotte --

Tracing the railway, the frame begins showing a sight of a new town.

If I can translate "Sayonara(Goodbye)" to music someday, I will be able to meet you again wherever I live.

[1965tomotomo]

--No.5-- chigau keshiki no --

I realized that the same colors are shining in the different sight.

So, sensing the warmth of your back to my back, I will be able to live with your memory forever.

[LupusLapin]

D:

Why wasn't this in the English version? Raegface!! >_<

Oh well. At least Unwound Future has a lyrical end theme? :D

[DarknessWolf101]

Unwound Future and Diabolical Box BOTH made me cry.... (I lost the bet, so i had to give 5 dollars to my sister ):( anyway.... I am very emotional, especially when good stories like the Layton series ends. I cried so much T^T

[JuuhachigouSama]

@PAARDJUH2222 I finished it a few days ago. I cried a little, but Diabolical Box hit me more than Unwound Future. Dunno why. lol.

[NancyDrewgal111]

@JuuhachigouSama I agree. Unwound Future's ending was definitely sad, but I found Diabolical Box's sadder. I think it was because, well... The way the ending of DB was presented made it seem alot more depressing than UF's. Like, the ending cutscene was longer and had this beautiful music. :')

[PineappleBeans1]

I can't find the music video! Halp?

[DarknessWolf101]

How can I get this song?

[MsLazToYou]

Professor Layton in all his puzzle-y excellence brought me here! And I'm so glad he did. This so is beautiful, it made me cry.....:')

[claudiamer]

:'')

[2561rebecca2561]

go prof layton! with words it's even better! even if i can't understand it! =D

(srsly, am i a fangirl or wut lol?)

[KKworldwide90]

i tried to find out what the words shiawase no hako mean and i got happiness for shiawase and box for hako.

....why does that remind me of a puzzle?

[HgMorbi]

Why, this song reminds me of a puzzle.

[RedBalloon1000]

This song makes me cry. :')

[InvaderSkat]

aawwww <3 its such a cute song

[lilacbird]

...Am I the only one who prefers the instrumental version?

[SupaFridayBear]

@lilacbird The instrumental definitley has more of an emotional effect on you, doesn't it? The vocal one is very pretty, but the instrumental almost makes you cry! :)

[BAMitzGRACIE]

@lilacbird too be honest i like the instrumental one more too but i think the vocal ones nice too :)

[1frthrdio]

@lilacbird I can't sing the instrumental version XD

[FeelinComplexical]

the end of diabolical box almost made me cry, twas so sweet and touching (':

[donniegirl12]

i guess the ending in pandoras box gets everyone ;) lol

[BAMitzGRACIE]

@donniegirl12 ino it certainly got me

[donniegirl12]

@BAMitzGRACIE lol!! its definatly the music!! and the ending storyline really makes u sad... ;(

wait until the Unwound/Lost Future game!! that will be SOOO sad!!! i haven't played it but the ending is where Luke leaves, thats what everyone says anyway...i know i will cry then! lol!

[carol12345678901234]

): with this game i cry so much

[ekvasbdqisihs]

やっぱりsalyuさんの歌声は素晴らしすぎます。

カラオケで真似しようと思っても、なかなか；

当たり前ですがｗｗ

[ValkrieCain]

I wish I knew what those words meant....

[skehgus]

I love it !

[3huskyfan3]

I love it

it always makes me cry :'(

Layton 4 eva

[Foreingwind]

Translation made by me, not tottaly sure of it

You know better the things that are precious to me

Believing that we would meet again

we made a promise with our hands

The scene flowed away in the car windonw's frame

Softly, softly starts to project the beggining

We created a reason to live to together

By confirming it with a look

Even now i can breathe the pain, its the memories

Its something beyond anything you could swear

[Foreingwind]

I've protected directly the promise you made Assuming that i wont see you again

I've kept it in my box, where its waiting

Feeling the same love for each song

It can be heard far away, that melody

Even when the landscape has changed

Im sure the same colors will shine

Even back to back im sure the same warmt can be felt

"You cant advance until you let go of something else"

thats how i feel

Like a magic trick waiting to be reaveled

[Foreingwind]

As i trace the train tracks

the city frame will be a new one

When im capable of singing goodbye

i will find you where ever you are

Even back to back im sure i will always fell this warmth

(you read this from down to top)

[BluesifulWave]

This song is so sad, yet, beautiful. Almost bring a tear from my eye.

[HotAngel1994]

I love this song I´ve cried almost i´ve heard the Ending story of Professor layton and the diabolical box.

Anthony and Sophia are a very good Couple. ;_;

[Inyerbed]

@HotAngel1994 Indeed. ;n ;

[ChocolateWithAlmonds]

[loverboy1471]

@mel160294 i did to

[sallytracey]

@mel160294

I agree. I was so emotional when I finished it! And the song is just so beautiful. I can't get enough of it. And I'm usually more into rock music, Led Zep and the likes...

And still, this song makes me cry... sometimes.

(I can't understand the words) maybe the game is based on the song, or the other way around, i have no clue... I should do my homework.

[mel160294]

@sallytracey I'd prefer to listen to this piece of genius than do homework... I'm going to listen to it again and again and again, it's too brilliant not to listen to, as I'm sure you'll agree :)

[JuuhachigouSama]

@mel160294 Almost!? I was bawling like a baby!

[LsVidrew]

@mel160294 me too ;___;"

[1215stu]

@mel160294 I DID LOL!

[KnewingFun]

@mel160294 I Cried When I Finished Professor layton And Pandora's Box

Its not Fine For Anton

[mel160294]

@KnewingFun I felt sorry for him, to go from being young and healthy suddenly to a lot older with a granddaughter and the girl he waited for was dead, it was just a really touching story

[Geek4Eternety]

@mel160294 I cryed my eyes out. :< I finished it recently because i had recived it for Christmas,I cryed because of its beauty and just how amazing Layton makes you feel..its some sort of undiscrible feeling of warmth and happiness. we need more games like Layton series,not all these violent shooting games that you see so commonly..But then again,if all games were as amazing as Layton,it wouldn't be special anymore..Professor Layton,i commend you and everything you stand for. i love you deeply.

[mel160294]

@Geek4Eternety I recently finished Lost Future (I think the American version is Unwound Future) and I couldn't stop crying at that one, it was what happened to her (I won't reveal it in case anyone here hasn't finished it), and I think that if I played Pandora's Box again, then I would definitely cry

[Geek4Eternety]

@mel160294 Goodness,i cry at the end of all good games that i play.I cryed at the end of Fire Emblem,and for the live of me,i cryed for a good two days after Ocarina of Time. Professor Layton games are simply incredible,It has a charm i can't resist,really,i love them so dearly much.

[TheSPARTANJ13]

@Geek4Eternety What's really impressive is that Professor Layton is basically a glorified PowerPoint with cutscenes, and yet it still manages to elicit an emotional reaction.

[Zeldarulah]

@Geek4Eternety Which Fire Emblem did you cry at the end of? o.O

I can understand crying at the end of Professor Layton, and maybe Ocarina of Time (Certainly Majora's Mask :O) but FE? x.x

[Geek4Eternety]

@Zeldarulah Oh,I just cry at the end of really good games. After being buried for some time, I replayed Fire Emblem:Rekka No Ken and cried. ;n;''

[bimbo202]

@mel160294 I know - the ending of the Lost Future is so sad :'( I cried when I found out 'older blue hat boy' (no spoilers) was evil! :( :( ProfessorLaytonXClaire4Eva (wow spoiler <)

[mel160294]

@bimbo202 I've finished it too, I wasn't even suspicious about him until a few minutes before it was revealed!! But seriously, I love those games, I need to get the film at some point, I think it's called 'Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva', but I'll probably cry at the end of that too, if it's the same kind of quality as the games :)

[bimbo202]

@mel160294 IKR

[181Cade]

@mel160294 i nearly cryed coz i didnt wanna finsh it! lol

[tinaBFFsuus]

@mel160294

[music0lover0audrey]

@LadyLorili this song is so sad, i cried when I played that last scene of layton -- or anytime i hear this song, really :*) But I do have one big question now --- did layton use this song after it was written, or did this girl write this song FOR layton??

[Elricchasers]

@music0lover0audrey i think this song was written for it........

[music0lover0audrey]

@LadyLorili this song is so sad, i cried when I played that last scene of layton -- or anytime i hear this song, really :*) But I do have one big question now --- did layton use this song after it was written, or did this girl write this song FOR layton?? also, I would like it if someone who is fluent in japanese to send me a doc or vid of the english lyrics, plz and thank u!

[Elricchasers]

@music0lover0audrey i found out that the name of the song actually means a box of happiness or a box full of happiness
