@LadiiHpn0tiq The numbers are the numerical equivalents of english letters. 3 25 15 23 21 1 = cyouwa, which is another way of spelling chouwa which is the japanese word for harmony.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful movie theme songs I have ever heard (next to Miyazaki)... This song makes me cry... When I'm not reading the English lyrics. Love you Origins!
@kagomegirl321 you ever wonder what the numbers said at 1:26 meant? Each number is actually a letter from the alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3 ...). If you convert it all you get the word "Cyouwa". Now here comes that "reflection" part, since the reflection of y is h (if you turn it upside down and than look at it with a mirror) that's how we get "Chouwa", which means "Harmony". So basically, they're spelling "harmony" with a number system. It's funny cause that what this movie's all about.
@kagomegirl321 You did it right. The letter y, when held upside down in front of a mirror, looks like the letter h. That's where the "with reflection" part comes in. See what they did there? Genius.
@ClickAtOwnRisk But if you hold the letter y upside down by a pond or mirror, it's REFLECTION is the letter h. See what they did there? "With Reflection"?
this song blew my mind. thx to these lyrics I now know wat the song says, I had this blaring in my ears and I was like .......(speechless) then I was like -whispers- whoah 0_0
When I hear the song the first I hear... JAPANESE... (I didn't undestand it) So when I hear you wmex22 have translatetion this song, really thanks! Now I undestand the song. :D<3
@kagomegirl321 it's what happened if you romanized japanesse hiragana.
technically cyouwa writen using "chi+yo - u - wa" because japanesse doesn't have "cyo" as single "letter" so tough the reading is "cho" it's more visible as "cyo", maybe ^^
@kagomegirl321 KOKIA said in an interview that those 6 numbers corresponded to the letter position in the roman alphabet, meaning C is 3rd letter etc... so the title of the song (cyouwa = harmony) appears in numbers in the middle of the song :)
you know what, this is an epic song. always enjoyed it listening to the origin spirits of the past original soundtrack, and recently saw a live version of it being sung on youtube, just happened to chance apon this video with the english lyrics and i gotta say i think the lyrics are as deep as the feeling i get with the song before i ever read a translation.. thanks wmex22 for the upload and time spent making this
Her voice reminds me of waves in the water then that of the wind whispering then again the fire of passion in this song but the earthly lyrics. Interesting
@Archaon94 I agree with Lillia, I don't know of any other songs like this. The style used in the Ar tonelico games music ??kind of?? resembles it. A little. But yeah, nothing compares to the simply, profoundly powerful feel on this <3
@Archaon94 As you can see and I hope you know, KOKIA's kind of everywhere with the styles of music and singing. :D This variety and range is part of why she's so great. She's got a few other songs like this, but the main one that comes to mind is Track 7, Gematoria, from Kokia - Akiko Balance. It's another with an epic sound, upbeat, and also kind of haunting. Mixes Indian and Spanish musical sounds.
@LadiiHpn0tiq : The numbers mean cyouwa (chouwa) (harmony)
3=C
25=Y
15=O
21=U
23=W
1=A
15=O

Numeric code, each word belongs to a letter in the alphabet. Spelled out it spells "Chouwa"

@LadiiHpn0tiq They are the alphabetical numbers of the romanji characters of the song's title, "Chouwa".

@LadiiHpn0tiq The numbers refer to English letters according to their placement in the alphabet, which is why they're sung in English.
They spell out "cyouwa", which is a variation of "chouwa", the Japanese word for Harmony.

@LadiiHpn0tiq actually its code with the numbers meaning letters (A=1 and Z=26) it spells chouwa meaning "harmony" (no i dont have alot of thime)

Long, long ago,
A seed awakened the heart of the forest.
The Forest-Beast fell from the moon
With its red breath and green tears,
And Man cowered in fear.
In time,
The Beast's tears dried,
And Man strained his ears
To hear the voice of the Forest.

@LawOfSynergy In the stillness, a single seed falls.
Its ripples spread out, lapping at the bottom of the well.
Oh, cold wind, that shakes the forest of my agitated heart,
if we can live and let live, let's go on as we are.
Everyone who heard the quiet voice of this forest wept for the noise.
chorus: This sound clamors within this forest incessantly, yet quietly.
It gives moments of tranquility back to my troubled heart.

@Lainmacha
I think, it's chouwa. homophone with chouwa era ( just wiki chouwa ), different kanji.
also, I believe there's no official "cyo" in japanesse except accent or sound effect.

@kagomegirl321 cyouwa is what it says indeed and it does represent chouwa, just with a y.
